I've now told you about three lines oe

companies have three advantages from

First, the absolute confidence Of tia

Second, no capital was invested In the
business as the government guarantees

Third, the men hired By the govern

must make the government companies go.

HISTORY OF COTTON.

cotton discovered? D. w. A.
A. The oldest known cotton-producing
country is India, where for thirty CEN
turtles the plant has been grown and its
fibre manufactured. For 400 years be-
fore the Christian era, cotton was well
known in what was then the civilized
world, the writings Of the Greeks and
Egyptians plainly indicating the knowl-

HARDING SHOES
Says President Wished Re-
pairs Made in Impossible
WGy.

WASHINGTON, April ga pair OF
shoes worn by the president of the
United States means nothing in the life
Of T. Sumner. Positively not Sumner
emphasized.
He made a statement to this effect as
he stood in his little, but busy, shoe re-
pairing shop, a square away from the
White House after the sensational fact
had become known that he had declined
to fix President Harding's golf shoes.
He is the first shoemaker in the his
tory of the nation to turn down a
president"
Although not officially designated as
such, he may be called shoemaker ex-
traordinary to the White House" He
has repaired the shoes which have shod
presidential feet since Clevelands term.
Il have no objection to repairing Mr..
Harding's shoes and any one else's," said
Mr. Sumner, but Mr.. Harding wanted
his golf shoes fixed in an impossible
way"
There was a pause and then sumner,
who is a swarthy complexioned little
man with a moustache like II. G. Wells, &,

possible for the President Of the United
States or Babe Ruth.
presidents are nice folks, aI right,
but as customers they are no different
to ne than any one else" Mr.. Sumner
continued.
He disclosed the following facts TO be
recorded for pOsterity:
President Harding has the biggest foot
OF any of the seven Presidents who have
patronized Sumner, beginning with
Grover Cleveland.
His foots the longest and Taft's the
widest" said Sumner, by way OF explana-
ton.
Also HIS shoes are the incest

pIeted timber stocks of the nation and
particularly in Indiana where the bulk
of timber used is imported.
The commercial aspect looms big when
one considers that II each of 100000
school children would plant one tree and
all these trees lived to maturity, the lum-
Der these trees would produce In later
years would have a market value Of at
least S3,O000 900. 1t should be remembered
also that during the lives of the trees
they would be constantly source Of
comfort and benefit.
CAREFUL SELECTION
Is IMPORTANT.
In planting trees great care should be
exercised to select trees that are long
lived, free of insect enemies and disease
and that possess a high commercial
value.
OF the shade tree type, the sugar and
black maple are among the best. In
addition the sycamore, pin and white
oak may be used. Away from the smoke
and heat, especially the heat arising from
paved streets Of cities, the tulip. white

walnut, and sweet gum in southern In
diana should be first choice.
Sugar and black maple are adaptable
to any portion of Indiana, and where
small, round topped tree is desired, the
Norway maple is given preference.
After the trees are planted they should
be protected and mulched. When planted
the lower branches should be pruned off,
or all or most of the side branches
cut back Never top a tree at planting,

TREE PLANTING
Says Purpose of ArbOr Day to
Inculcate knowledge and
Love of Nature.
PROGRAM IS SUGGESTED

The planting Of trees on Arbor day,
eFriday, April Is, this year, aside from an
aesthetic view, has great economic value
3by reason Of the merchantable timber
possible later on, says Charles J. Dean,
4forester under the State department of
conservation. who appeals TO all citi-
ssEens, especially school children, to OBJ
serve Arbor day Of 1921 by an extensive
tree planting program.
The spirit of ArbOr day, as conceived
S by its founders, was to inculcate in youth
"a love and knowledge of trees. This
work rightfully belongs in the schools Of
the land, and IN q bulletin the State
forester urges that pupils gather en-
masse on this day and observe it gen
orally throughout Indiana.
r AIr. Dean suggests that schools ar
range a program in advance, decide on
3 the number Of trees to be planted and
where, and the trees should be heeled
IN and on the ground ready for plant
3 ing on the day OF the exercises. He
points out that it is unnecessary to
seOnane Arbor day paintings to the school
grounds. In some instances no room IS
available. However. there are plenty Of
places in need Of trees. and in the coun-
try privileges can easily be secured to
plant trees about churches, cemeteries.
