Varylnu Movements Of Leaves.

Different species of trees move
their leaves very differently, so that
one may sometimes tell by the mo-
ton of shadows on the ground, If he
he too INDECENT to look up, under what
kind Of tree he is sitting. On the
tullp-tree (Which has the finest name
that ever tree had, making the very
pronouncing Of its name almost like
the utterance of strain Of music
Liridodendron tulipfera), on the tulip
tree, the aspen, and on all native pop
lars, the leaves have an intense indi-
vdualism. Each one moves to suit
itself. Under the same wind one is
trilling up and down, another Is whirl-
ing, another slowly vibrating right
and left, and others still, quieting
themselves to sleep, as a mother gently
pats her slumbering child; and each
one intent upon motion of its own.
Sometimes other trees have single
frisky leaves, but usually the oaks, ma
nles, beeches, have community of mo-
ton. They are all acting together. or
are all alike still.-Henry Ward
Beecher.

GETTING Full Value of rloWero.

Highly ornamental vases are attrac-
tive in themselves but, rs flower hold
ers, they may be said TO be partial
failures, as they DO not serve their
purpose to the fullest extent. They
rather attract attention to themselves,
than set off the blooms for which they
are designed. A vase of plain material
or color, or one on which the design Is
obscure, is more TO be desired, as 1t
presents the flowers in their full beau
ty, and does not distract ones atten-
ton. In the same way, a vase of ius-
terware, Of a shade that blends With
the flowers 1t holds, is far more at
tractive than one of contrasting color.
Vases that are to be used for all kinds
of flowers might better be green, Of Il
dull shade as this resembles the plant
coloring and is not noticeable.

ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO
Literary Achievements Told In
Few Words.

"Neyer to be doing nothing" was the
simple but effective rule that enabled
Sir Walter Scott to get done the enor-
nous amount of work for which he Is
noted. A passage in -Lockharts life Of
the poet and novelist reads:
"Those who observed him the most
constantly We're never able to under
stand how he contrived to keep him
self so thoroughly up with the stream
of contemporary literature Of almost
all sorts, French and German, as well
as English. That rapid glance might
tel him more than another man could
gather by a weeks porting may easily
be guessed; but the grand secret was
his perpetual practice of his own grand
maxim. never to be doing nothing. He
had no 'unconsidered trifies' Of time.
Every moment was turned TO account !;
and thus he had leisure for everything
except, indeed, the newspapers,
which consume so many precious hours
nowadays with most men, and of
which, during the period of my ac-
quaintance with him, he certainly read
less than any other man / ever knew
that had any habit of reading at all.

EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS.
sHeaW Vote for Return of Roads
ArouSes Interest at the Ma
tionaI Capital.

Washington.-The national poll on
the railroad question by 5000 news
paper editors throughout the country
has aroused great interest at the ma
tional capital. With SO per cent. of
the editors giving 1t as their impartial
opinion that the public favors an early
return of the railroads to their own
ers and only II per cent. favoring Gov
eminent ownership or operation, the
members of Congress Of both polit-
ical parties propose to provide speed
lily for the legislation to make it pos
sible to restore the roads to private
management before the end Of the
year.
! In Congress there is general agree
ment that the following steps will have
to be taken before the roads are re-
turned to their owners:
1. An advance in rates to meet the
greatly increased cost of labor and
materials in order that the Public
Treasury may be relieved of the bur-
den of meeting monthly deficits and
the roads made self-supporting. The
Director General Of Railroads states
that the increase in rates thus far is
about 25 per cent as compared with
an increase in operating costs Of from

MONSTER SCREEN AT
METHODIST CENTENARY
Special Lantern Devised For
Throwing Pictures.

Finishing details are being placed
on the arrangements for the erection
of the largest screen for the pro1ec-
ton of pictures ever built In the
world. This is to be one Of the fea-
lures of the Methodist Centenary Gel
ebration, to be held in Columbus
June 20 to July Is.
This monster screen will have
surface for pictures 115x115 feet. The
actual structure will be several feet
larger In each direction. A special
lantern has been successfully devised
for throwing these tremendous pic
lures the necessary distance. The
screen will be $50 feet from the near
est spectator and will be built to
withstand 40 pounds pressure to the
square foot. The lantern which Will
project these pictures has already
successfully thrown pictures on q
screen in New York City across q
distance of four and a half city
blocks. According to Architect Harry
C. Holbrook, the screen will be, IN
effect, three sides Of a house. II 10
necessary to give 1t the foundations
equivalent to q four-story building.
In order that there may be as much
salvage as possible after the screen
has served It's purpose, the picture
face will be OF fitted lumber, which
later will be treated with a white
surface preparation.
The estimated cost Of this screen
will be $4,000. The screen and the
lantern will be used In showing the
tens of thousands Of views, made all
over the world by the Methodist
Missionary Survey, which has the
finest collection of pictorial reviews
anywhere in the world.

Those who have been managing the
peace treaty have done numerous fool
ish and unreasonable things that have
made the thinking portion of. the world
look in establishment. But of all the
things done yet the latest and most ut
terly foolish and astounding was leav-
ing the surrendered German navy in
the hands.of German crews, with the
result that vessels that could not be
built for two hundred millions of dollars
have been sunk.
1t would seem the allies gave the
Germans an invitation to sink the yes
sells and in their density the Germans
were long time taking the hint. But
finally it daWned upon them that the
opportunity was theirs and they hoisted
the German flag at the mast, opened
the sea cocks and let the fifty or more
war craft of various kinds go to the
bottom while the crews rowed away in
safety.
Such unspeakable neglect and ASA
Unity has never been witnessed before.

The feeling prevails very largely
that nowsis the most opportune time
farmers have ever known to make
money out of hogs. A year or so ago
sheep were in the center of the stage,
but the hog. has rooted the sheep off
and stands supreme.
Owing to the fact that the hog Is a
fat producer and all people use much
in the way of fats during the year,
indications now are for continued high
prices of hogs.
Corn is higher now than ever known
before. That means hogs must be
high. The corn crop cannot be bum
per this year becuse in the corn grow
ing sections of the country, the corn
acreage was cut to grow wheat at
assured prices that means big profits.
It.'wouldsseem that corn must continue
high. If so, there can be no great
slump inShogs.

is good; that is NOW.

|SHORT | ICE OF SUGAR
LOCAL. MERCHANTS HAVE SCANT'
SUPPLY AND SALES ARE
LIMITED.

A serious sugar shortage is being ex-
perienced now throughout the country
and in Little Falls sales are now limit.
ed to about two pounds to a customer.
The shortage came on suddenly and
caught many merchants entirely IN
awares, with the result that some of
them are practically out of this COM
modify. .....
Various reasons are given for the
shortage, the large amount of canning,
the increase in demand on account of
the increase in the number Of soft
drink parlors, big shipments to foreign
countries and possibly boarding.
Local merchants say that they can
get only small quantities Of sugar from
the wholesalers. AS there has been
brought to this country from Cuba in
the last two weeks 100000 tons of sug-
ar and more coming, the situation
should be much better as soon as it is
distributed.
