Roadside Tree Always Worth While.

The example set by the state Of
Minnesota, which will plant some 3d.
600 trees along Its highways this year
and each succeeding year will add sew
eral thousands more, conveys a lesson
not only in ref0restation In a relative
ly treeleSs state but In the esthetlc
value Of arboriculture as well, Un.
doubtedly the years to come will bring
their reward and travellers Of the flu
ture, If they give the matter a thought
at all, will pay tribute to the fore
sight which furnished them with CRATE
full shade and added beauty of a pecu-
liarly restful kind to the landscape.
A ribbon Of road stretching across a
treeless plain is but a bleak thing,
whereas it becomes an avenue when
graceful trees nod in the breezeS on
both sides of 1t and travellers passing
through into other states which have
neglected their opportunities Will not
fail to note the difference. The road
side tree on the Pacific coast is a mat
ter worthy Of the attention Of both
the planter and the conservatlonist.

(Signed) "OURAY.'

OUCH is n document unique in In
dian history. No other Indian
chief had a secretary to whom he die
tHted orders and there Is no other
case on record of n chief calling upon
lis warriors in this manner to lay
down their arms after they had shed
white blood. 1t Is evidence Of Ouray's
greatness that his command was
obeycd Immediately.
In 1879 Agent N. c. Meeker had
trouble with the White River Utes
and called for troops to protect him.
Maj. 7. T. Thornburgh with a force
Of l5O men marched to his relief. The
UteS took this as n declaration of war
and attacked them on the Milk river
In northwestern Colorado. Part Of
them beSieged the soldiers, killing 10,
including the commander, and wound
ing 4S. Others attacked the agency,
murdered Meeker and nine other white
men, taking five women and children
captiveS. Then came Ouray's message
and the ute war" was over.
ouray, 'The Arrow" Vas born in
Taos, n. NJ, In 1884. He was bap-
tized by a Jesuit priest and educated
In a little Mexican school at Taos
where he learned the Spanish tongue.
In 1850 he returned to the Ttes who
were then engaged in a bitter strug.
gle With the NavNjoes, Cheyennes and
Arapahoes.
One day a war party of 80 UteS led
by Ouray was attacked by 500 Arap-
ahoeS. The chief rallied his warrl-
orS, formed them in a hollow square
and then in Il fight lasting ii hours
they finally beat or their a~SSailants.
Soon after this Ouray'S or ! son was
captured by the ArApahoeS From that
day the To chief never allowed his
tribe TO rest from hostility toward
them. In later years he appealed to
the government to restore his son 10
him, but the hoy had become so much
an hrauahoe that he refused to come.
Because of Ouray's knowledge Of
Spanish he was made the government
interpreter to the Utes In 1886 and
became head chief 500 afterwards.
His friendship toward the whites
was ~unwayerins and he adopted some
OF their ways. He had a well-culti-
waited farm on which he built a com.

Tcnantry in large cities cannot be
abolished altogether; perhaps it would
be undesirable to do so. However, tens

still unnecessarily dependent upon the
wish and will Of others, industrially,
politically, socially; a condition tend
ing ever toward slavery, injustice and
unhappiness. Ownership of anything
spells independence in some measure,
though it often means restraint, too :
and to own ones home, where none
dare intrude or make afraid, is the
most satisfying Of all.
The owner of a home is logically a
better citizen, q more p~ubllc-splrited

SEPARATE PEACE AGREEMENT MADE
PARTIAL SETTLEMENT IS AP. PROVED BY SHOPCRAFTS
 POLICY BOARD.
RAIL STRIKE IS HALTED
SENIORITY ISSUE IS NOT MEN. TONED IN NEW PEACE PACT
 WITH SEVENTY-FIVE ROADS.

Chicago.-The policy committee of oriZed E. M. Jewell strike leader. to sign separate peace agreement with individual roads This action, it was stated, would end the strike on from thirty to fifty-two of the 202 Class 1 railroads of the country which entered into direct negotiations with Mir. Jew ell recently at Baltimore, and with any others who cared to accept the peace terms.
 With the announcement that partial peace had been voted came the first definite information that s. Davies Warfield, president of the Seaboard Air Line and representative of a rail road securities company said to con trol S13,OOO,O00,000 stock, vas respon- sible for negotiations that finally end ed in the agreement.
 The peace agreement for a settle mem of the shopmen's strike on indi- vidual railroads, as given out here, made the following provisions
 The agreement, at present, would apply to about one-fourth of the Class 1 roads of the country.
 All men returning to work would do so at the prevailing rate of pay, which was fixed by the United States railroad labor board, effective on July 1. the day the strike order went into effect
 Seniority was not specifically men, toned in the agreement, although it was provided that the men return to work in positions of the class" they held before the strike began.
 Disputes over the relative stand ing of old and new men would be re- ferred to board of six rail officials and an equal number of representa- tiveS of the men,
 It also was provided that the roads should find places for the strikers who have not committed acts of violence within thirty days after the agreement becomes effective.
 The agreement, so far as announced, made no mention of working cOndi- tions, outside contracting by the roads or jurisdiction by the labor board, all of which also figured in the strike as a leading issue.
 With these terms as a basis, system federations on roads not now parties to the agreement are authorized to en- ter peace negotiations with proper rail road officials. Until these employees are returned to work, they will be as sisted financially by those who are employed.
 Both new men and the strikers will he retained by the railroads signing the Jewell-Willard agreement. The old men are to return to their former pO- sitions at the present rate of pay not later than thirty days after the agree ment is signed.

WANT WHAT YOU NEED

DHILOSOPHERS tell us we can A have anything we want, provided we want it enough.
 With certain qualifications this is true. It explains why many men get things out of life that their friends never expected to get. They wanted them, and they got them.
 Getting things In that way for most people involves considerable sacrifice
 For example, If dry goods clerk wants an automobile he may get it, but he will have to skimp pretty heav- fly on his clothes and diet If he gets it while he still remains a dry goods clerk.
 It is for this reason that when you begin wanting something. 1t will pay you to want what you need.
 That will involve thought, or none of us know what We need until we devote considerable time to reflection and study.
 There are men who want new wives, when they have perfectly good wives et home. They don't need them, and therefore ought not to want them.
 There are other men who want wealth, when they don't need wealth.
 Still other men want steam yachts when row boats would do them more good, and private swimming pools when they would get more fun and health out of public baths in the ocean.
 They may get these things, but they will he no better off when they do get them.

Uncommon
 Sense

The wanting habit can grow into a very bad habit, indeed, unless you are careful to want what you need.
 It is well to remember in this con- nection that there are some very i'm portant needs that you ought to want first of all.
 One of them is a good reputation. Another is good health. A third is a home.
 Want these badly enough to get them, and confine your wants after that to things that are reasonably certain to bring happiness.
 Then want as hard as you like, and your wanting will not hurt you.
 Want what you need and you will be reasonably sure to get 1t, if you begin young enough. But don't want what you don't need. It will only make you miserable for life, even though you attain the object of your desires.

AGAINST THE TIDE

ASSISTING you on every hand 0 is the invisible tide which Is hourly sweeping humans from their charted course and carrying them in- to unknown waters.
 The captains of courage who have gone before. weathered the treach- erous currents and reached secure haven. are the only ones who can tell you what this opposing tide means to the young or the inexperienced, or the over-confident.
 They will tell you how difficult it is in trying moments to keep your honor bright; how hard 1t Is to steer away from temptation or the habit of loose thinking; how perplexing 1t is to avoid the sucking shoals when you should keep cool, hold to the straight course and exert your. ut most strength.
 You may pose for a hero before the world, but be careful lest the tide pull you under and expose the fraud.
 If your colors are false, beware for the tide knows them.
 In spite of its purring voice and shining face it is restless foe, a bearer of no tales, a silent destroyer of ambition and wrecker of hope when your star seems to glow the brightest and you stand puffed up in conceit before an .admiring world.
 AlasI for the man who in such a moment plunges headlOng into the tide without first reckoning his endurance.
 The water Is icy cold, swift and treacherous.
 How many men do you know who have gone down in such a plunge, never again to show their head?
 Their pride and pomp, their wealth sank from sight and left only few empty bubbles behind, bursting and disappearing.

plete submergings of the island by the sea, into that potent, chemical factor phosphate of lime. Today scarcely bird Is to be seen on the island; but rich treasure has been handed over to the use and ingenuity of men.
 Though the island was German owned, it was British enterprise that began the phosphate industry, and until the war the utmost harmony eX- isted between the British and German employees and the German admins tration.
 This phosphate industry comprises settlement having many miles of cleo tric and steam trains, telephones, cleo tric light, fresh and salt water systems, refrigeratorS, and fine sewerage sys- tenn. There are hospitals for the whites, the Chinese, and the natives under European doctors and nurses.
 There are great public laundries, ex cellent houses for married and single workers, public hall, attractive recre- ation and reading rooms, and well laid out grounds for outdoor sports. There is, moreover, one of the most powerful wireless installations in the world, and ships are every week bringing news and supplies.
 Nauru island, although only B 1-3 miles south of the equator, is one of the healthiest spots on earth, malaria and other tropical ailments being un- known, and the white community is one of the jolliest and happiest of the island world.
 Of special interest are the natives of Nauru, some 2,000 in all, ruled by native king-a very remarkable man. When in 1914 the British took over the administration of this island from the Germans, their first care was to make the condition of the natives more satis- factory than it had been; though they had never been exploited by the phos- phate industry. Under their king, Oweida by name, they accepted gov ernment having laws partly British and partly native or tribal. They were encouraged to clean up the island, im- prove the coconut plantations, and to work for good wages in the phosphate fields. This they have done with the result that they are a happy and con tented race, enjoying perfect health and having every comfort a native peO- ple can desire Within the last three months British administration has given place to Australian, but the same excellent regime is being maintained.
 The Nauruans are noted for their good manners, the smallest child bow ing to stranger with the utmost grace and wishing, in a greeting, every blessing that one kind heart can de sire for another. The Nauru women are accounted by many travellers the handsomest, best-fgured women in the Pacific, and certainly in their festive and dance dresses they show a dis tinction in taste and designs which is truly remarkable. Their dances are clever and not at all monotonous, while their singing and chanting have real melody.
 Every native man and boy, and good many young women, possess bicycles, and most picturesque cyclists they make in their coconut fiber ridis, or loin clothes. Practically every house has a sewing machine, which Is put to many uses, but now that the

 Island, dot of land, F miles in cir conference just south of the equator, and between the Marshall and Solo, mon Islands groups. Nauru would be little over 2,0O0 miles from Java. This diminutive island has 5000 acres and is famous for its valuable deposits of the highest grade of phosphate of lime-a magic soil fertilizer.
 Thirty years ago Nauru was an island no one thought much about, as no one realized the immense wealth that lay deep and snug among the coral pima cleS of the low-set hills in the. center of the island. American whalerS would call in those days for water and pump kins, and the natives then got the repu- tation of being so hOspitable that the American whaling activities ceased in the South Pacific, few ships ever touched at Nauru. Then came the Germans, who took possession of the island and named it Nauru.- But even the Germans were not aware of the great Ntllue OI Iue lSldLu.
 One day British vessel put in for supplies of water. On board was an expert in phosphate and guano. This man, roaming about the hills, soon formed an opinion of Nauru which was to change it from an island of no con- sequence into veritable treasure house of one of the most needed acces- sOrieS, assuring the harvests of the agricultural world. To make long story short one, in two years time vast industry was organized with every modern appliance of machinery and every comfort and convenience for large scientific and clerical staff, and hundreds of Chinese and natives from engaged digging and blasting out in thousands of tons every month the precious phosphate. Ships came from every country in the world to carry away the wonderful fertilizer; thou sands of tons a month grew to hun dreds of thousands of tons year, and still the hills of the tiny island look as if they have only been scratched. Both British and German experts have estimated there are nearly fifty million tons of the phosphate, and that many generations will come and go before Nauru is exhausted.
 The bOunteOusnesS of Nature is shown in the composition of this magic product-phosphate of lime. For years it is impossible to tell how many countless numbers of sea birds were attracted to this tiny island, where neither man nor animal disturbed them, and where. they found the super abundance of fish usual to deep-sea coral islands. The birds subsiSted on fish and created vast deposits of guano, rich in phosphate, which, mingling with the coral rock rich in lime, were transformed by natural processes. as- sisted by periodic copious rains, alter nate droughts, and occasional and con-
