Restorinn Rl,ck Walnut.

In an effort to restore the black wal
nut $50 bushels of seed have recently
been planted at Mont Alto, Pa. and
next spring 1t is expected that fully
100000 seedlings will be available for
replanling in groves in various parts
of the state.
1t is not difficult to start n walnut
plantation. says the American For
estry Magazine, and II cites the case
Of an Indian farmer in the Far West,
who. few years ago, after an excep-
tionaly heavy seed year, drove his
Wagon down to the wabash bottoms
and shoveled it full of nuts and litter.
Then going up to his field he spread
the nuts from the tail of the cart on
the frozen ground in the same way
manure is spread. In the spring when
the frost was coming out of the
ground and the soil was soft he had
his boys take wooden mallets and go
out and pound into the soil every nut
they could see. 1t is reported that he
has an excellent young grove at the
present time.

Sucked Infants Breath.

An old and weird tale of-cats kill
ing children by inhaling the breath
was corroborated by an incident,
which has occurred in Atlantic City.
Awakened by gasping sound from
his nine-months-old daughter, man
discovered a huge black cat perched
on the child's chest, sucking the in
fant's breath. He hurled the animal
through a window The baby was I'M
conscious and barely alive when a
physician reached the house The
child was not resuscitated until a half
hour later. The animal did not be-
long to the family and must have en-
tered the room through an open win
dow. It is said that cats in instances
Of this sort are attracted by the faint
odor of milk on the infants breath.

is POOR BARGAIN
Foolish Indeed for Man to Sell
Himself to Evil.
Many Have Done It UnconselousIy.
and Their Reward Has Always
Been Exceedingly Small.

More than one writer has been fas-
cinated by the idea of selling ones
soul to the devil. Indeed, that thought
has served as the basis OF many
poem and plot.
The idea Is that of man bargaining
his soul to Satan for all eternity OH
condition that for limited period lie
may enjoy all possible pleasure. The
thought Is most familiar, perhaps. Id

Old those roots of the literature may be.

enough to show that, in the end, the

he realized that with every wish tho

How many times, as his pleasures
began to pail upon him, must Faust
have regretted his bargain!
II there Is any justification Of the
exploitation of the idea of bargain
with the devil, either In the opera Of
Faust or In novel or In the movies.
1t Is the plain lesson at the end that
the sort of bargain which the devil Of.
fers does not pay.
But there is one mistake which men
often make with regard to this mat
ter, which Is In supposing that this
is the real way In which the thing Is
done.
AS matter Of fact, men sell them
selves unconsciously and for very
much less than the devil Is supposed
to offer In any Of these works of tic.

you are curious, when the bargain with

OUR FORESTS.

The chief enemy of the forest Is not
the gypsy moth or any other insect,
but the aX and the fire of man. The

BOY SCOUT NEWS

Plans are now being made to re-
peat the 1920 and 1921 Boy Scout
camping trips. Some changes may
possibly be made, but the proposed
route is through the Rocky Noun
tains of Colorado, parts of Wyoming
and Nebraska, and he trip will likely
last twelve days.
Each scout to be eligible must have
the permission of his parents, be a
first class Scout, and have won cep-
tain merit badges, and in addition.
earn and Contribute to the expense
$1.00 per day. The last trip cost
about $500 per day, per person, in
GLIDING drivers, scoutmasters and
visitors. The date of starting will be
about July goth.
Boys desiring to join the Scouts
must do SO early, as many tests must
be passed. Special invitation is ex-
tended to boys from out of town to
join any troop.
Scoutmasters will be provided for
each twenty boys, or the capacity of
the truck, and only live Scoutmas-
tiers that work with the boys steadily
and are willing to put some pep into
the movement will be asked to make
the trip which will be without ex-
pense to them.
A small band is desired and each
Scout will be expected to be in uni
form, three boys to be in tent, and
only pup tents allowed. The baggage
will be cut as much as possible and
more room will be provided for boys
to ride.
We expect to travel about 1900
miles and perhaps have some visitors
from the higher-ups of the Scouts.
Some lectures will be provided and
guides employed where needed. Our
local Scoutmaster will not at this
time be able to give you much infor-
nation, blu the boys who want to go
will get ready and await orders.

Big RECLAMATION MEET SET
FOR LATTER PART OF MAY
Washington Wants TO Know Jast What
The People Wants. L. Brady OF
Idaho Association Issues Call.

Boise, Idaho-What Is expected TO be
the largest reclamation gathering in
the northwest up to date, the most re-
preventative and the most productive
of direct results is scheduled for Po-
catello the latter part of May, to be
held under the auspices of the Idaho
Reclamation association, the child of
the late Major Fred r. Reed.
President s. Z. Brady, of the asso-
citation, was in Boise from Pocatello
the other day and held a conference
with directors in this part of the state.
In view of the tendency Of national
reclamation legislation of vital impor-
lance IL was decided that it was neces-
sary to adopt some plan to secure the
views of the people of irrigable Idaho,
supplemented as it would be by indi-
yidual official expression.
Went Popular Expression.
I'VE pant to know what the people
want" That is the message coming
from Washington. This does not inn
ply that information carried there is
insufficient or that 1t does not in the
main represent the general arid west
condition, but that there is a growing
desire for a more popular expression.
It is felt that it is only through state
reclamation organizations that such
expressions can be secured and voiced
effectively. At the Pocatello meeting
the message will be direct to those in
charge of reclamation matters. Efforts
are being made to induce Secretary Of
the Interior Fall to be present and it
is known that others high in depart
ments bearing IN reclamation will be
ehere.
Broad Representation.
1t Is planned to have every section
of the southern part of the state re-
presented at the Pocatello gathering,
the date of which will be fixed so soen
as harmonizing arrangements can be
made as to attendance from Washing
ton, ID. G.
Chambers of Commerce, county COM

doing something every week. Tomor-
row they will hike to the old Ferry and
hope that American Falls troops will
be there to meet them. Following
