Profit in Nut IrAea.

Nuts form the only vegetable pro-
duct raised In this country which in
the raw condition furnishes a COM
plete and fairly we'll balanced ration
for human beings.
In many parts OF the country ell

sufficient to pay taxes, insurance and
general upkeep of the home property
from crops Of nuts derived from trees
which they planted during their
younger days while their nelghbors
Were planting shade trees.
They are few farms or city lots In
the entire county which could not
probably be planted to some kind Of
nut producing trees. The income may
not always be Important. but what
ever 1t Is will be clear gain. 1t costs
no more to plant nut bearing tree
than 1t does one that produces moth
ing but shade. Nut trees are COM
monty regarded as being slow in COM
ing into bearing. The black walnut
and hickory are popularity regarded
as being OF too slow growth to de-
velop into useful shade trees during
the. average lifetime OF man.
As matter OF fact, on the con-
trary. walnuts OF certain superior
varieties now being profl as are
so precocious as not infrequently to
bear nuts while still In the nursery.
In number OF instances from peck
to half bushel of nuts have been
borne by trees 10 to IL years old. No
exact figures as to yields OF hickor-
les are available, but some of the
varieties now being pagated are

PRINT PAPER GOES STILL HIGHER.

The following statement Of facts
appears in the Des Moines Capital:
The price Of news print continues
to soar. Many people are unable to
understand why print paper should
continue to advance in cost when
thousands OF other commodities are
falling. The only reason Is profiteer-
ing on the part Of the print paper
manufacturers, but it is situation
that the newspapers seem unable to
get away from.
One big eastern mill. the Great
Northern Company, has made price
for the year Of 1921 Of one hundred
dollars a ton. Last year this mill sold
paper at eighty dollars ton. This is
United States that has not prof.
teered on print paper during the past
five years. The international Paper
Company sold paper this year for a
miximum Of one hundred fifteen dol
lars q ton, and now has increased the
price to one hundred thirty dollars.
The Spanish River Company sold pa
per this year for one hundred dollars
a ton, and has advanced the price to
one hundred ana forty dollars. The
Des MONIES Capital this year paid
ninety eight dollars a ton for paper,
and while the price is not yet official,
1t Is understood that 1t will be one
hundred forty-one dollars a ton for
l821.-an increase of forty three dol
lars ton in one year,-the increase
being larger amount than the total
cost Of a ton Of paper in 1914.
There is still a shortage in the sup
ply OF paper, which is the only reason
In the world why the manufacturers
can dictate the price. If there were
an adequate supply Of paper the
market would break Immediately.
Newspaper men generally are ex-
ceedingly regretful at the increased
cost of subscriptions and advertising,
made necessary by this continued ad-
vance In the cost OF news print. But
with the exception of the customers
OF the mill above mentioned, the
Great Northern. in the state of New
York, all newspapers In the country
are in the same boat.
This information about the cost Of
print paper Is important to subscrib-
ers and advertisers as indicating that
under no circumstances will there be
any general decrease in the cost Of
newspapers in 1921.
The T.-R. recently was given the
option Of signing q contract for ten
years with the mill which has been
supplying the Capital and the T.-R.,
price to be fixed by the mill and
stipulated damages of $4,000 per
year from the T.-R. If it violated its
agreement, or be thrown on the open
market which was then $240 per ton
instead of Sal. which the Capital is
to pay. It was a hold-up and the t.
n. refused to sign.
Since then the open market has

stepped daintily inside the hamper,

THOSE NASTY HUMAN MEssEs.

This Hamon mess which is receiv-
Ing all the publicity that tho part
Of the public which delights in
salacity demands and that some
newspapers seek to supply ad
nauseum isn't anything new or
strange In the world. It is the COM
mon relation Of the career OF a
chaser" and his complement q
woman who gravttates toward that
kind OF man, Perhaps II might be
called human interest" Human In
terest seems to be irresitibly at
tracted by salacious story. that is
some humans take q lively interest
in the details Of nasty liason like
that of the lannon's. It adds to the
pep and tastiness Of the story when
one or the other OF the principals
shoots or poisons the other. But it's
an old story retold, the same sordid.
shameful and shameless story with
the characters under different names
Tho participants are as like as peas
in a pod wherever the scene is laid or
in what century.
Murder is murder In 1921 precisely
as 1t was murder when Cain dubbed
Appel to death. Hiatt the modern
assassin uses high power rife in
stead OF club doesn't change any
essential. And tndecency is in
decency just the same whether a
farmland or an oil magnate leads
the procession. The lannon's We're
TASTY people with rotten morals and
the dead libertine had money enough
to conduct his immoralities luxuri-
ously and to give him a standing
with mon and women who would
have spurned him If he hadn't been
wealthy. But the difference isn't a
real difference. They were just as
immoral and filthy. A cess pool Is O
cess pool Just tho same tho II may
be hidden beneath dollhouse roses.
Those things are not uncommon.
Most or us can recall instances whore
men who had accumulated large or
lesser fortunes won't wrong and
lived shamefully and when and how
the end Of the road came for them.
Most Of US have In mind acquatn-
tances who have made . little money
or attained positions Of more or less
prominence and imagine that they
are thus beyound the laws statutory
and moral that are presumed to gov
ern other men and women. And nos
body Is vastly surprised when the
bump comes to them.
A fool is fool. q libsrtine Is q
libertine. there isn't much difference
between women of lax virtue and
loose morality. But why should we.
grasp the story Of indecsncy and
immortality so eagerly? It Is mere
curiosity on opr part, or horror or
envy2

WANTS PROTECTION.

EditoF l1nlee- hepupllCan:
l note the T.-R. objects to gov
eminent loan for the farmers on the
ground OF class legislation.
Our present tariff law is class leg
isiatfon OF the most virulent type yet
notwithstanding this fact, the city
press seems to rejoice that Canadian
wheat, Australian wool and other
farm products from foreign countries
can be dumped on our markets with
out paying cent duty. That the
farmer must compete with cheap for
eign products and do so without a
peep is the evident position OF the
city press.
Since class legislation is to quite
an extent the cause OF our low mar
ket on farm products. the government
should do what 1t can in the way OF
financial help until our present tariff
law is repealed and protection be
given the farmer as we'll as other
industries.
Yours respectfully.
