Resolution From st. John A. NJ.
II. Church.


On Monday morning, Jan. 5th,
dseful life of our beloved Sis
ter Price was called from labor
to rest, which was indeed a
cause for great grief to us all.
But we are consoling our
selves with the thought that
she is out of world of agony
and pain.
Sister Price was an associated
member of this church and was
ever ready to lend her support,
Intellectually spiritually and fl
nancially. She was devoted
Christian and was one of those
personalities whose presence was
always pleasing, whose charming
manners and winsome ways won
for her host of friesds is such
loss not deeply deplorable when
we remember how all of these
qualities mingled might have
asserted themselves as they
should, during a far longer pc
riod of usefulness than that
vouchsafed, to many of our
best members. But alas, this
life, is in the icy grasp of death
and the pulses of this kindly
has ceased to throb forever, but
Gods plans like lilies pure and
white unfold when we shall see
and clearly understand. think
that we shall say that God
knew best.
"Be it resolved that the mem
bers of st. Johns A. NJ. e.
church mingle its tears, 81 sor-
row and sympathy with the be-
reaved husband and family in
in the darkened circle of their
great loss.
Further resolved that we
tender our prayer for Gods
richest blessings of health and
continued peace and prosperity
upon them one and all.

Further resolved that copy
of these resolutions be placed
upon our minutes and a copy
sent to the bereaved family.

BACKYARD ORCHARD AN ASSET
Can Be Depended Upon to Pay Divi-
dends of Pleasure and Health =
for Many Years.

The orchard behind the village home
has always been an asset of great
value. We knew one once that had
cherries, pears, plums and apples for
the entire fruit season-early and late
and it yielded enormous dividends of
pleasure and health for full quarter
Of a century.
. A few fruit trees may be grown with
profit in the back yards Of cities not
too closely built. One exists in a>near-
by city, where ten years ago q wise
husbandman planted fruit trees in his
back yard, and for ornament set out
Japanese apricots and dwarf ounces in
his front yard. From his trees he now
has two crops, one of surprising beau
ty during blossom time and an
other Of palatable and healthful fruit
later. There are also berries on his
lot, in abundance, and a wild goose
plum tree that carries prodigious
crops.
It may be stated as fact that no
man ever planted fruit trees who did
not thereby. become a benefactor.
There is room for thousands Of them
in the rear of Omaha homes.-Omaha

TREES NEEDED ON R0ADWAYS
No Reason Why the United States
Should Be Behind Europe in
Matter of Beautification.

One of the pleasant Impressions
which our soldiers brought back with
them from overseas was Of miles OF
country roadways beautified with
magnificent trees. In this country
shade tree by the roadside is so rare
as to cause comment. Once in while
during trip of many miles one will
come to a place where some wise man
of the past has set out in 4 row along
the side of the road naples or oaks
or elms. But an even cOmmoner sight
are the stretches where somebody has
cut down the trees and left the road
way bare and unsightly. Not intre-
,quently telegraph or telephone COM
panies have gone hacking their way
through stretch of fine old trees.
It appears that a land owner resid-
ing on any country road may cut down
trees along the highway for cord wood
and pillow the land to the very edge
of the road without interference, anG
that the law has, permitted him to set
out saplings in the spring and get %
cents each in reduction of taxes. Pub
lie service corporations, it is stated,
also have certain rights under the law
which seem to work to the disadvan-
tage of private citizens seeking TO
beautify the highway adjoining their
property by planting valuable trees.
The State Forestry association VIII
submit a proposition to its entire
membership this fall by letter ballot
with a view to determining whether
codification and revision of the states
shade tree laws shall be one of the
detectives in the campaign for neccs-
sary forestry legislation. The aSsocia-
ton is appealing for the support of
all citizens interested.
This is something which may well
command our favorable attention. The
movement should provide not only for
the protection Of such roadside trees
as still exist, but should also make
provision for the replacing Of those al
ready destroyed.-Buffalo Express.

lndusirIal cnanass.

Shifting use of wood, because OF
fashion or custom, is illustrated by
the result of recent survey of the
wood-using industries of New York
state. In 1912 there were several
cane, whip and umbrella handle man
ufacturers in the state; this years
survey shows not a single manufacture
er of walking sticks or whips and only
one of umbrella handles. And yet New
York and Massachusetts until recently
supplied about forty per cent OF the
total product of these articles, with
most of the remainder coming from
Pennsylvania. 1t has been questioned
whether canes have gone cut Of fash
ion as result of the war and whether
the automobile has entirely driven cut

Vacant-Lot Gardens.

According to G. O. Davis of the Efil-
waukee garden commission, more than
1000 vacant lots are now under cult
walton. One of the benefits of the
planting of gardens is that it stops
people from using the vacant lots as
dumping grounds for their garbage
and rubbish. The heaps of refuse
often form breeding places for flies
and mosquitoes.
Yet greater benefits are realized in
the profits derived from the garden
produce, and the healthful exercise
gained in caring for the tracts.
