PECAN TREE PLANTING

In it's campaign for pecan tree
planting The Ardmoreite has sought
to be conservative and has estimated
the value Of bearing pecan trees al
800 each. A story is carried from
San Saba. Texas. in the Dallas News
of Monday in which it is stated that
d single tree has produced as much
as 1000 pounds in one year. inc
same article says that the fine gIade
Of pecans are raised and that prices
have gone as high as from 15c TO VI
per pound Counting the price at
IOc pound such as growers nave
received here during the lowest price
eras and the production of one such
tree in one year would be 5000.
The writer Of the article mentioned
also states that anothey tree in 1920
produced pecans that sold for S2Si
and that the production of this same
tree in 1919 was double the 1870
production.
Kimble county which is located IN
South Texas stands at the head oil
Texas counties in the production OF
wool and mohair but the 1919 pecan
crop in that county surpassed ~
value both of those crops. The pc
cans have grown with little heed hav'
ing been paid them. In some IN
stances they have been budded and
have been cultivated and improved
but for the most part they arr
growing just as nature planted them
1t seems reasonable 10 expect this
section of Oklahoma this fall t'
plant as many as ten thousand pecan
trees. Plant the nuts and grow then
without cost, Is the plan We believe
We should follow in this country
They bear almost as early as u tn
trees were transplanted and they
cost comparatively nothing.

Ervine spent eleven weeks in the,
United states after prohibition went
into effect, and he makes that ex
perence the basis of his statement
Most of us feel that it is better
to be drunkenly free than slavishly

for example. at this moment in the
United States of America-when n

their initial assumption that anyone

"lf you venture, i'm the presence Of

Lodge of Massachusetts. Senator
Lodge is one of the most scholarly
men ever in the United States con
sress and is statesman and histo-
ran of marked ability. He was grad
uated from Harvard in 1871. was al
mitted to practice law in 1876, for
three years he was editor Of the
North American Review, in 1887 he
was elected to congress and served
three terms, in 1899 he was elected TO
the United States Senate and was re
elected in 1905. 1911 and in 1917.
The Senator was bitter opponent
Of Woodrow Wilson, he has stood for
big navy and was against the
great road project of the United
states for fear that the appropria-
tons would interfere with armaments.
The fact that the senator stood
for a big appropriation for armaments
may not unfit him for service in the
conference. He has stated that he
believes in general reduction but
insists that the reduction be made
general. In other words if all other
nations do not adopt the reduction
program he does not favor such n
step on the part of this country. In
this he takes an opposite view from
his colleague Senator william r.. Bo'
rah, republican, Of Idaho. Senator
Borah stands for a reduction in this
country independent of what othei
rations might do. 1t would seem tina,
Mr. Lodge takes the saner view OF
the situation. 1t might be dangerous
for us to neglect preparations when
other countries are forging ahead
An extract taken from speech Of
the Senator when the road question
was before congress will be interest
ing for the reason that it shows the
views he held them and he says he
has not changed those views. Sen
ator Lodge said in part:

Old French Paper Money
Called Health Menace
Writer Eays Notes of Small
Value Are So Dirty They
Spread Disease

LONDON, May IA (By Mail) There
are aspects of the currency question in
France other than the exchange which
are disturbing, writes an occasional
correspondent from Paris to The West
minister Gazette. For some long time
We have been promised some sort of
counters to take the place of the paper
money he says. They are not forth
coming, and we are still carrying on
with half franc, franc and two-franc
notes, which are sometimes so dirty as
to have their value illegible. The Ave,
ten and twnty notes are printed on
better paper and receive less hard
wear, so they still pass muster; but no
Irish or Scotch notes are so dirty as
ours of the smaller denominations.
"These now form serious menace
to public health" he continues. "They
are used in all classes of society, and
one of the most usual spectacles is
that of the chauffeur or tradesman who
puts them between his lips while
counting out his change. By this pro-
cedure he is liable to get as bad as he
gives, but that is no consolation to his
client, who must receive the note from
him.
A 50-centime note was analysed at a
laboratory the other day.. on the ordi-
nary process 1t gave the appalling re
suit of almost 70,000,000 bacteria. A

the same process, gave the total of

Among these were easily identified the
creatures chiefly responsible for dis

appendicitis and so on.

Big Shipments

Danger of Stringency of

Current events in the basic building

ing Reports.
Sand prices are now low at $1.80 q

Common Hudson brick is now low at

some to presage price turn upward.
1t is coincident that this change
first genuinely manifested itself last
Monday, when the first whispered ru-
mors were heard in building material
circles to the effect that the Associa-
ton of Railway Executives at Wash
ington would bring in an adverse re-
port upon the appeal Of basic building
material shippers for an immediate re-
duction in building material freight
rates, on tn, ground that in the absence

half of shippers of sand, gravel, Stag,
crushed stone, ebert (pebbles), asphalt,
tar. cement, lumber, logs, brick, tile,
terra Gotta, tale, lime, plaster and their
products.
Brooklyn took the lions share, or
twelve bargeloads of 100000 brick each.
The Bronx, which, like Manhattan, has
been dormant as far as building ac-
fiyity is concerned. suddenly came in
with a call for four bargeloads for de-
livery on new building projects.
Queens Borough took another barge
load for industrial construction work,

New Jersey took up three boatloads

week end on the assignment list, with
none for sale on the open market.

alton has been safely passed. There

Forcing of Collections
Opposed by Credit Men
Financially Sound Concerns
Not Deserving of ''Rough and

The forcing of collection of overdue
accounts from concerns financially
sound and of good moral risk is de-
plored by H. Uehlinger, chairman of
the business service committee of the
National Association of Credit Men.
"1n one of our largest cities" he
says, "the days record Of judgments
secured in one trade alone revealed a
number of positively good merchants
and manufacturers as judgment debt
ors, and they were not deserving of

part of credit Offices.

Vienna Newspapers
Urge Return of u. S.
Food Draft Sales
Deplore Cessation of Ameri-
can Relief Methods; Blame
Lack of Interest ON Persons
Here of Austrian Birth

VIENNA, May 20 (By Mai1) The
press of this city Is unit In deplor-
ing the cessation of food draft sales
by the American relief administration.
The sale of drafts was brought to a
close in the United States April 80.
In commenting on the benefcent re-
suits obtained by the Hoover organi-
cation in this phase Of it's activities, a
number of Vienna newspapers express
the hope that the sale of food drafts
and dollar parcels" will be resumed.
Some ascrihe the suspension to lapse
OF interest on the part Of Americans
Of Austrian extraction.
The food drafts have served a three
fold purpose here, as they have in
Budapest and Prague. First they have
provided an economical and conven-
lent method by which friends and rela-
tives in America could send foodstuffs
to persons in Austria; second, the fact
that the food was purchased in the
United States has prevented further
depreciation Of Austrian currency, and,
third, the businesslike manner in which
the distribution was handled has left
a balance which has swelled the child
feeding fund.
Suspension of the food drafts has,
of course, in no way affected continu-
ance of the child feeding operations
which are chiefly supported out Of the
500 100000 fund raised in the Euro
pean Relief Council drive in the United
States.
at is very much to be pitied that
the beneficial dollar parcel operation
should be closed now," says the Reichs-
post, while the Volkszeitung remarks
that the total amount of foodstuffs
sent was so large as to produce a
favorable influence on food conditions
in general"
The Neues Wiener Tagblatt says at
is to be greatly regretted that this part
of Hoover's great work should be dis
continued now"
THE dollar parcel" says the Neue
Freie Presse, mot only relieved the
wants of many individuals when con-
ditlons were worse, but has also been
a great benefit to whole classes, benevo.
lent institutions and hospitals. . Need
was alleviated to large extent when
things were at their worst, and all this
was accomplished without any preju.

exchange. Perhaps it will be taken ur
again later on if the American friends
