The Wonders Of America
THE BIG TREES IN CALIFORNIA.
By 7. T. MAxEY

THE biggest trees In the world are
found In California. They are Of
two varieties, both a species Of ever
green, sequoia Tin honor Of Cherokee
Indian) redwood and sequoia gigentia.
The former grows quite extensively In
certain sections on the western slope
Of the coast range; the latter only on
the western slope Of the Sierra Ne
vada mountains, at an elevation of
about one mile above sea level. The
former is said to reproduce itself from
the stump, the other from little seeds
which grow In pods.
The best-known and most-frequently-
visited grove Of the redwood sequoias
is near the little city Of Santa Cruz,
on the coast some seventy miles south
of San Francisco. Some Of these
trees are more than $50 feet high and
20 feet in diameter at the base. The
gigentia, however, II the real thing in
big trees. Some are almost 400 feet
high and 90 feet around at the base.
The bark Is Of q reddish brown color,
very thick and auted up and down.
The branches are very large. begin
ming 90 feet or moro from the ground.
The secret Of their age Is still one
Of the unexplained problems Of the
universe. Estimates range all the way
from 1000 to 10000 years. But sup
pose 1t is only the former. Think Of
living a million and a half Of daysl
Think Of the changes which have been
wrought In that timel That they are
the tallest, stateliest and oldest living
things In all this big world Of ours IL
IN un1isputsd fact.

1 IC7flIE story of Fred Clarke is an object lesson for every youthful athlete. For it's the story of a man who saved the money that came to him on a golden flood and who now is independently wealthy.
 More than twenty years ago, Clarke got major league job with the Louis- vile club. And soon he came in cQ1- ltact with ball players who though they earned far more than he did were all ways broke" He heard of the high salaried stars of other years who were down and out"
 How did it happen?" asked Clarke, the rookie.
 "Oh; Those fellows tossed away their money, thinking it would always rolr in upon them," was the answer.
 That was a lesson for Fred Clarke and he never forgot it. He did not be- come exactly tight fisted'' but he i,e- gan to save certain portion of his yearly salary. He did not draw down very much in his early days with Lodis- vile and Pittsburg but the end of the season always found him in possession of an increase in his savings account.
 Eventually the time came when op- portunity knocked upon Fred Clarkes door. He had chance to buy 160 acres of farm land near his home town in Kansas. By using all of his saw ings and giving a mortgage on his home, Clarke was able to put through the deal And in the years since then the 160 acres which he purchased have increased something like six times in value and the product of the farm nets Clarke close to $10,000 a year.
 Year after year Clarke saved--and whenever the chance came he added to his Kansas acreage. He looked for bargains, and because he had the ready cash he got them.
 He owns several thousand acres now

|, the New Orleans lad in the Southern Boxing Tourney.
 In the 125-pound class, Chestain is ex- pected to perform wonders. The B. A. c. boxer came within an ace of winning the all-southern title when he met Donza in the finals of the 125-pound class in the recent tourney. Twice Chestain almost put the New Orleans boxer to sleep, by
 the latter's own admission. The expe-
 rience of Donza @ame to his rescue, how ever, and he was able to weather the storm, and finally knock out Chestain. Aired has had little experience in the boxing game, but bids fair to be a corker one of these days

 Dummy" Harrington, 145-pound south ern champion, is the sole entry in the welterweight division by the B. A. c.
 Three men vii fight in the 158-pound class. Harris dld not get chance tu show his real worth in the tourney, for Frank Kraus present middleweight champion of the south, landed on him at the very first tap of the gong, and ended the bout before the local boy could strike a blow.

 Col Jacob Ruppert, now owner of
 the New York Yankees, bought the That was because a Colorado miner who purchased the farm for a "song" ex- cited the curiosity of the countryside ty his mine, operations. Frequently after days of digging he would exhibit a handful of gold nuggets. Naturally, the impression was created> that there was gold on the farm. There was rush to buy the farm. Ruppert out bid all opposition with 75,000-and got the farm mine"
 Later developments showed that the
 mine" had been 'salted and that there was no gold on the farm. Ruppert kept the farm for number of years and then when Clarke wanted it, he sold it to him for $6000. The farm today is worth in the neighborhood of $50000 be- cause of it's great farm produce value.
 Some years ago when there was talk Of oil in Kansas, Fred Clarke secured an op- ton on some land that looked to him like a good oil prospect. Eventually he sunk we'll and struck oil.

And 20 barrels at $3.25 per barrel means yearly income of something like $30,000 from his oil well owings alone.
 Various estimates have been made as to Clarkes fortune. It has been placed any where from $500,0o0 to s1, ,50O, 900 The changes are that Clarke is worth abont $1, ,000,000 And this fortune has had it's growth because of the frugality of Clarke; because of his saving nature in his early days which gave him a change to prove once again that money makes money.
