THE GIANT SEQUOIA

THE GIANT SEQUOIA
When Babylon was rotous thy head
Was wise with years; when Bonaparte on
cold
Heena's rock lay still thy heart was bold
AS youth against the storm; no hair has file
Of all thy leafy locks through age; the dead
Since thou vert young have swept in ranks
untold
To Immortality; straight of old
Thou waitst the generations still INBRED
Why build we monuments of crumbing stone
Or tawdry brass and bronze to mark a name
And spare mere memory to unheeding time!
1t were far sweeter, though 10 be unknown,
To rest beneath green trees Could marbled
fame
Sleep softer bring though graved with
sacred rhyme?

THE HEART OF A TREE
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants the friend of and sky;
He plants the flag of breezes free;
The shaft of beauty, towering high;
He plants a home to heaven angh
For song a mother-croon of bird
In hushed and happy twilight heard.
The treble of heavens harmony
These things he plants who plants a tree.
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants cool shade and tender rain.
And seed and bud of days to be,
And years that fade and flush again;
He plants the glory Of the plain;
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of coming age;
The Joy that unborn eyes shall sec
These things he plants who plants tree.
What does he plant who plants tree!
He plants, in sap and leaf and wood,
In love of home and loyalty
And far-cast thought of civic good
His blessing the neighborhood
Who in the hollow of his hand
Holds all the growth of all our land.
A nations growth from sea to sea- -
Stirs in his heart who plants tree.

Ias if you were preparing to plant can taloupes.
 3. Width of Rows, etc. Six feet is a good average width for the rows, and ordinarily there would be no good req son for spacing them either wider or closer than six feet. 4. Distance Apart, etc. The seed can be put in either with a garden-seed drill, or planted in hills by hand. In either case do not cover more than one inch deep. If the seed are drilled in, the plants should be thinned out to stand one plant every two feet If planted by hand, the seed should be planted in hills five feet apart, placing about 10 seeds to the hill, and later thin out to plants to the hill. 5. Date of Planting. Plant the crop from the 10th to the 2Oth of April, be- ling governed by weather conditions. Avoid planting when the soil is wet and cold.
  6. Cultivation. If you have been successful with cantaluopes, you can |also make profitable crop of pickles. The cultivation of the two crops is practically the same. Keep the vines trained along the rows, the drills free of grass and weeds and the middles pulverized with light and shollow running cultivator. Keep this up often, especially after rains.
 r. The Striped Beetle. If the Gu cumber Beetle gives trouble, they can be controlled by the use of air-slaked lime and Arsenate of Lead. Mix two pounds of the lime to one pound of the Arsenate of. Lead and dust over the plants early in the mornings. For any other further information address the Thomas Pickle Company, Prescott, Arkansas, Blevins, Arkansas and Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Useful Hints 10 Pickle
 Growers In Arkansas


The secret of success in growing cu- ,cumbers for pickles lies in making the largest possible yield of pickles of the first grade and in maintaining the vines in bearing condition for as long time as practicable.
 The cucumber can be grown suc- cessfully on practically all types of soil where there is good drainage, a thoroughly pulverized seed bed and plenty of readily available plant food of the right kind. In order to assist the growers in securing the best results the following suggestions are offered, based on a practical knowledge and ex- perience in this territory.
 1. Preparation of the soil. The soil should be deeply broken and fine ly narrowed without delay. Before breaking it would be very useful to apply liberal application of lot man. ure broadcast. The manure can also be applied in the drill provided it IS applied along the entire length of the drill and mixed with the soil by run ming blow through it.
 2. Fertilizers. No other crop re- spends so readily and generously to the use of fertilizers as the cucumber, provided other conditions are favor able. In addition to the stable man. |ure, it would be very profitable to ap- ply from 300 to 800 pounds per acre of high-grade vegetable fertilizer. The fertilizer used for cantaloupes in this section would be suitable for cu- cumbers. When picking starts, it would be well to apply 100 pounds to the acre of Nitrate of Soda, narrowed into the soil, taking care not to allow lit to get on the foliage, as it would burn. This will prolong growth and add much to the yield. The fertilizer mentioned above should be applied in the drill all at one application, and well mixed with the soil, and flat Hist made over it and smoothed down

oldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ar
thur F. Stone, was married to Frank
Homer Taft, recently of Natoma,
Kansas. The ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. Edward P. Lee before
only the immediate relatives and
friends. The bride was gowned in

| that would contain the tabernacle
where God was present. He then
spoke with much earnestness upon
the significance of the altar to hui
mainly, particularly in these troub-
lous times, and this led to a consid-
Grafton of some Of the recent condi-
tons.
Speaking first of the high cost of
living Mr. Cochran said that this was
due to the fact that there was a
great lessening Of production. Ten
million neoplc were killed in the great
war, 100000 more were perman-
emily disabled and at least two-ffths
of the worlds property was destroy
ed. Until we can restore production
We shall have high prices, and they
are now so high that many now have
great anxiety for the future.
Again, the peace of the last hun
dred years. has resulted in a tremen-
dous increase of population and
there has been steady movement of
the people from the country to the
large cities. AS a result of this our
big cities are filled with people that
produce nothing they can eat or wear
and the country communities that
supply the cities have been depleted
of their workers. This situation has
almost brought starvation in some
sections of the world.
The war has developed a spirit of
hate such as the world has not seen
since the abolition of slavery. The
employer distrusts the employee and
the latter hates his employer. As a
result we have strikes and decreased
production at a time when the world
is crying for supplies. We have reach
ed the point where men. can no long
er be compelled to work and injunc-
tionc only produce ill-feeling and if
the injunctions are broken and the
workmen are imprisoned then produc-
ton ceases.
The great remedy for this serious
condition is the altar not only in the
church, but in every home in the
world. History proves that religion
as represented by, the altar and what
it contains has solved the worlds
problems in the past. Fifteen hundred
years ago Rome became so corrupt
that the christians livin~ in the cata-
combs to escape persecution and la
ter went to the desert and became
anchorites. Then st. Benedict found
ed the monasteries where religion
apd work went hand in hand. These
institutions prospered, but it was be
cause the good people in their con-
fines worked as we'll as prayed. The
great cathedrals of Europe still
stand as memorials of the success of
the monastic movement and when the
kings and barons confiscated the
monasteries religion was not only re-
tarded, but production ceased all
over Europe. The speaker said he
would not advocate under present
changed conditions a return to the
system of monasteries, but he would
most strongly urge a monastry in
every home where the spirit of the
cross predominated and where there
was also the gospel of work.
MI. Cochran referred in closing to
what it meant to have daily worship
at the altar in st. Aloysius, to have
religion in the home and throughout
the day. If everyone had the spirit of
worship in his heart the world would
eventually solve its pressing problems
and peace, prosperity and progress
abound.

father. Buck and the other riders
came to her for orders and took them

and the broad-rimmed straw hat that
shielded her dark head from the sun,
