Arizona,s Petrified Forest.

The petrifed forest OF Arizona Is
really a series OF petrifed forests.
There are four of, these forests includ-
ed in a government reservation called
Petrifed Forest National monument,
created by presidential proclamation
in 1906 The name forest" Is not
strictly appropriate, for the petrified
tree. trunks are all PROSTATE and are
broken into sections. The logs are
the remains of giant trees that grew
in Triassic time, the age of reptiles.
Some of the tree trunks are six feet
in diameter and more than hundred
feet in length. In the first forest
there is a fine trunk that forms a
natural bridge over small ravfne,
the water having first washed away
the everything clay and sand and then,
following a crevice, worked out the
channel underneath. The length OF
this log is 40 feet, and the diameter
four feet at the butt and one and one
half feet at the top. These facts have
been given out by the United States
geological survey.

'em too much Retrenchment sounds
coed beforehand and lower taxes is good
all right. but you've either got to live
an awful lot simpler or put up the
dough Each family could get along d
good deal cheaper if telephones and au-
tomobiles and monographs and radio
sets ard silk stockings and sealslin furs
and diamonds and such like was all cut
out but they would rather put up the
dough Outside of tax time the sane
folks would hate TO have the state cut
out all of the correspondent fixings.
The constitution has an interesting
clause on this economy business: Pre-
yious TO any law being made to raise a
tax. the purpose for which it is to be
raised ought to appear evident TO the
legislature to be of more service to COM
munity than the money would be II not
collected" Now that is kind of in
definite. For instance, there amt no
predetermined folks in my family or
most Of the families of the state, none
| mean, feeble enough for the state to
have. to support them. But that amt
no sign il amt better for the state to
have them seen to. A little bit of trim
ming won't cut out our state tax. We've
got to either pay up or drop out lot
Of things the state has begun doing and
put a lot of money into already.
You see I'm really kind of serious this
week I've been getting my head ready
to go to Montpelier Next thing I'm 60
ing to get my dUds ready. I've got t1
go to one of these stores that have beer
sending out letters to Hon. Jonas
Brown" etc, and buy my first new sun
day suit in eight years. I'm afraid
shall have to pay more than S11.9S Thu
time, but | shall get dolled up if j.
costs $21.9S.
Yours for preparedness,

Dear Ed =
This week l have really been doing
some thinking and studying on this rep
resentatiye business, and ] have read the
Vermont constitution, which is the first
time l ever did such thing / can't see
as it hurt me any, though it amt very
exciting if you are used to Snappy
Stories or Robert Chambers or Open
helm. But all the representatives-elect
ought to have to read it, anyway.
have about decided in studying this
economy question that the legislature is
the most expensive educational institu-
ton that the state maintains, and it
ought to have some requirements for en-
trance.
Did you ever see this clause in the
constitution: 1.-The house of representa-
tives of the freemen of this state shall
consist of persons most noted for wisdom
and virtue" etc? Do YOU recognize me
and the rest from that description?
could pick out people more noted for
both than the representatives are in
three-quarters of the towns of my
county. You can judge whether I'm in
Guiding Rockville.
Speaking of economy. this amt going
to be the pleasanteSt session to be a
member of, because when you've got to
be so blamed economical there amt go
ing to be long list Of accomplishments
that you Gan point with pride to. The
COW tuberculosis people rank the states
on the basis of the amount each spends
for that, and / guess we stand at the
head. The board of health people do the
same. and the same with the charities
dept, the educational dept, the work
for feeble-minded. the agricultural col
lege, etc. They'll all put up a boiler
that we are going backwards. and put
ting Vermont at the foot, etc. if we cut

FERTILIZER ORDERS
COME IN SLOWLY
Farmers who Wish to Order Cooper
ativeIy Reminded that Orders Must
Be Given by Dee. %.

Be Given by Dec. 20.
Farmers who desire to order fertilizer
comparatively this year must have their
orderslin the hands of the local represen-
tatives Of each town or at the Farm
Bureau Office by Dec. %. Thus far the
farmers are said to have been slow in
getting in their orders.
Last year 423 tons were ordered for
seven towns of the county, and it is
hoped that this amount will be increased
this year,
TIE probable trend of fertilizer prices
will be somewhat higher than last year.
the price of nitrates being about so
higher. Potash prices, however, are
about SIS lower. while acid phosphates
are about the same as last year.
Practically no prices have been an
nounced on fertilizers by dealers, and
this is thought by some TO be because of
the fact that they are waiting to asceT-
tain what price is to be made by the
Eastern States Farmers Exchange.

This Date in History
Life and Character Reading,
June 3.

People born on this date have
some faults to overcome before
they can obtain the best results
out of life. These people have a
scattering OF force and great I'M
rest. They are natural complain
ers and GROWERS and imagine
evil. They are never still, though
a responsibility will settle them
with as much alacrity as those
born under any other sign.
The finest efforts of the poet
and writer that comes under this
sign are reached by inspiration
and not by analysis or previous in
tellectual preparation. Both
Emerson and Margaret Fuller Os-
sill were born under this sign and
are splendid illustrations of what
Geminf men and women can be.
The governing sign of this
birthdate is Genini. the sign of
the twins, and the governing
planet is Mercury. The gems are
beryl and an aquamarine. The
astral colors are red, blue and
white.
