FRIENDSHIP GROVE NEW IDEA
May Be Carried Out as Easily in Small
City as This Man DOES on
Farm.

farmer living only a few miles
from here has a lot of pleasure and
gives many of his friends an enjoy
able afternoon or evening by planting
a tree for a member of the party. He
believes, in recognizing the friend be-
fore he dies. The wife of this farmer
enters into the spirit Of tree planting
and enjoys having the friends gather
at their home and plant a Tree for
a friend. The occasion not only fur
nishes the opportunity for good friends
to get together and have a good time,
but also stimulates tree planting in
the community.
The friendship grove makes 1t easy
to honor ones friends Dwellers on
small city lots may say that this can
not be done. There is no reason why
it is necessary to use trees. A peony
plant named for a friend may not be
as stately as a tree, but the glowing
flower Of the peony will always remind
you of the high qualities of the friend.
In America friendship groves and gar
dens will give much happiness and
add value to property.-Chicago Eve

Beauty Waste Spots.


Borders in the garden and yard are
like frames. that lend beauty to the
picture. In many gardens and lawns
there seems to be no space that can
be spared for flowers, yet there are
walks of cement, brick, or cinders,
waste spaces along the alley, or
around small buildings which if bor-
dered with some flowers would change
the entire appearance of the place.
China asters, old-fashioned pinks,
English daisies, forget-me-nots, sweet
alyssum, candy tuft and yerbenas are
good varieties for almost any soil or
climate. In places where a taller Dor
der would bring out the picture, use
sweet william, oriental peoples or the
stately hollyhock. Then find high
place for a birdhouse, or plant some
shrubs for nesting places.
The true home picture is lacking
without the birds and fiowers.-Thrift
Magazine.

Throw your left arm over the shout

Her head lies lightly on your

Look deep into her half closed orbs.
Gently, but firmly, press her to your

eyes close, the heart opens, the soul

TALK ON THRIFT

There is an old saying we all used
to hear when we were children that
you can't eat your cake and have it.
If each individual in this nation
would learn the profound truth of
this bomely old maxim and put its
teachings into effect in his own life,
many of the social and economic
troubles Of the present would dis
appear.
You can't squander all that you
earn in days of prosperity and have
a competency for the periods of adj
versity, You can't waste your time
in idleness or ill-adyised pursuits and
hold your own in the race for success
You can't keep late hours, dissipate,

CLING TO NATURAL BEAUTY
Too Many Cities Allow Picturesque
Spots to Disappear as tho Place
Grows in Size.

Minneapolis is one city where nat
ural scenery is interspersed through
it's residence sections. Fortunately,
those lakes were too large and deep
to drain and 'lay out in town lots"
Kansas City also found on her town
site such ravines. The real estate
world gave them up. and they were
turned into parkways. Penn Valley
park being mostly depression is now
one of the most picturesque features
to be found in any city in America.
Chicago has had nothing to utilize
for beauty except her lake, and she
is making the most of that, taking
over" practically the whole shore line
and simplifying it so that there will be
lake shore park from the river al
most to the southern city limits.
St Louis has preserved in Forest
park her finest hill, and the. Mississippi
river still has many possibilities as a
scenic northern 1imits-near the water
works.
Every city has to study its topog.
raphy and develop its natural beau
ties and to keep them from disappear
ing.

THE NATIONS SUPREME NEED
The saving grace of Jesus Christ
is the supreme need of our nation.
His power is needed in every home
and every heart We are assailed by
many dangerous and destructive in
fluences and enemies. There is no
deliverance nor security to be found
anywhere except in the presence and
power Of His salvation.
Our country is invaded by at least
three enemy armies and forces:
First There is the army of nearly
six million illiterates above ten years
of age. These illiterates have confess
sed that they are illiterates. Perhaps
if the educational test were put to
others, this number would be in
creased very materially.
Second There is an army of nearly
sixty million people who are not iden-
titled with any church or religious
organization Jewish, Catholic, or

ton.
Third There is an army of about
twenty-eight million children and
young people under twenty-five years
of age who are not enrolled in any
Sabbath Day School or any other in
stitution giving religious instruction.
objectionable reflection!
These three forces or armies or
groups constitute a triple alliance,
which threatens the life of our coun-
try. Patriotism demands that every
loyal American should Immediately
enlist in an army for a campaign Of
adult evangelism, and a campaign for
the spiritual nurture of childhood.
People must be educated. They
must be regenerated. They must be
born again. They must be trained for
church, for home, and for country.
These opinions are the opinions of
the best writer's and thinkers and of
the truest and noblest Christian pat

address he delivered at New York.
"The most remarkable feature, and
one which | understand is general

covery that the man of education from
the small town is willing to go back
home after his schooling is completed
and start his work there. Formerly
all the young men went to the cities.
The lack of employment which started
over a year ago stimulated endeavor

Camera Is Mystery to indians.

In Chiapas, the most southern and
probably the least developed state of
Mexico, there are IA dist net tribes of
Indians. Each of these tribes has a
language of it's own, but they all have
one characteristic in common. They
do not mingle with the white people
who live in that part of the country,
and it is difficult to learn much about
their life and habits. Cameras are
mysterious and terrible to them, and
it is seldom possible to persuade a ma
tive to have his picture taken. There
Is an unverifed but persistent report.
among the white, inhabitants of
Chiapas, that these Indians have some
means of communicating across dis
tances of many miles.

tives and for the United States Sen
ate, then by what logic are they de-
prived of the right to select in the
same way their candidates for Presi-
dent?
The President is the most impor-
tant office of ALL He has more to do
both with the making of the laws
and their administration than any
other official in the country. He is
part of the legislative machinery of
the federal government. He helps to
make the laws under which all of
the people must live.
The President is practically SUI
preme in the enforcement of these
laws He appoints all of the execu-
tive officials in the entire country. He
likewise. appoints all of the judges of
the United States courts and thus has
an indirect influence upon the inter
probation of laws as well as their
enactment and their enforcement.
National Conventions Ignore
Wishes of Rank and File
Everybody knows that the national
conventions of both of the great politi
cal parties pay but little heed to the
wishes of the rank and file of those
parties.
We have seen a great political party
practically dominated and controlled
by a sick man a thousand miles away
from the place where the convention
was held
We have seen a great national CON
vention of a great political party com
pletely changed in the sentiment of its
membership by the contests and the
arbitrary rules of a national commit
tee in making up the temporary roll
Of the convention.
Every intelligent American citizen
knows that national conventions are
not controlled by the people but by
the political machines and the politi-
cal machines and the political bosses
and when the two conventions of the
dominant political parties are thus con
trolIed, there is nothing left for the
people except choice between two
evils.
When the people do not nominate,
the people cannot elect
In the case of our President, the
work of the national convention is
the last and the final act, There is
nothing left except ratification of
one or another. There is no appeal
from their decree.
Independent Candidates Cannot
Be Elected
It is true that in theory an independ
ent candidate might run for the office
of President after the conventions had
disregarded the wishes of the people.
AS a matter of practice, however,
this theoretical right is nothing but
a myth, and it is practically impos-
sible for an independent candidate to
make any Roadway running for

that the fight still was merely a
