FALL SET PLANT AND
SHRUB NEED CARE NOW

Fall set plants should be kept
wet as winter approaches. Mois-
ture may be conserved by
mulch of strawy manure in the
case of woody plants, and marsh
hay or straw in the case of many
perennials, says c. E. Cary, who
is in charge of the section of
landscape gardening of the hor-
ticultural division, University of
Minnesota. The mulch will pre-
vent the alternate freezing and
thawing of the ground which is
so damaging to fall set plants.
Smooth-barked trees, if fall
planted, should be wrapped with
loose burlap sacking or shaded in
some way from the sun which sti-.
mulates premature sap activity
in the late winter or early spring.
Trees like the Eastwood, maple
and mountain ash are particular
ly benefited by this protection,
says Mr.. Cary. 1t is also impor-
tant that fall planted trees of
large size be staked or supported
in some way so that winter winds
will not damage the root system
and keep it from becoming well
established.
Woody shrubs which make an
excessive growth the past sum-
mer might well be tied up to pre-
vent breakage from heavy snow
fall and winds. AS the action of
frost on newly prepared ground
is beneficial, areas that are to be
planted in the spring to flower
ing bulbs should be dug up at this
time.

81 NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT
minneapolis Daily starr

ihlnHthpoiiH baiiy cNoj
People who think at all, in
time will come TO think intelli-
gently.
But people who think at all
are in the minority.
The commonest excuse of the
blunderer whose mistakes have
cost himself or others great
deal of money or endless incon-
veniences is: Il never thought
Of that"
However trivial our own do
ings may be compared to those of
the entire race, they are of the
most tremendous Importance TO
us, for by them we must stand or
fall, survive or perish.
Not to think of them or to
think of them only in a careless
and haphazard way is the most
utter folly.
Out of every one hundred
young men who start in business,
not more than ten become really
successful.
Those ten are the ones who
think.
The others go through the mo-
tions of their work regularly
enough, but there are few of
them who cannot some day be
replaced by the marvellous ma
chimes which are being constant
ly devised TO reduce to the mini
mum the labor of human hands.
But no machine will ever re-
place the thinker.
The man in the front office who
is responsible for the business
that the concern has got, and
who has spent long days and
nights working out ways and
means to hold it and to get more
business can not be substituted
with any machine.
He got where he is now by Civ
ing every job entrusted to him
the amount of thought it re-
CURED.
He never had to say, Il never
thought of that" when a rival
concern introduced new system
of getting business.
He thought of il as soon or
sooner than the rival concern did,
and adopted it and got results
out of il.
During the war commanders
on both sides were often compel
led to say that they had never
thought of methods of warfare
which the enemy was putting in
to use with deadly results.
They We're not the commanders
who won the war.
The great leaders whose names
will go down into history for all
time did think of exactly what
ought to be done, and put it into
execution rs soon as they had
thought of il.
No man, by taking thought,
can make all the new inventions
or develop all the new systems
that are a part of modern pro-
gress.
But by taking thought he can
at least avoid costly blunders,
and gain the reputation for care
and trustworthiness which means
promotion and enlarged opportu-
nifty.
There is no task. however seem
ingly unimportant. which can be
done without some cerebration,

PROCLA NATION

Sunday. December seventh,

Golden Rule Sunday, by repre-
sentatives of twenty nations who
met recently at Geneva to deter
mine the best manner of alleviat-
ing the distress Of the tens of
thousands of sufferers in the
Near East who were victims of
the late World War.
President Coolidge has official
ly indorsed this movement and
urged the people of the United
States to participate, saying:
IL believe that the international OBJ
servance OF this day may not only
save lives OF thousands OF destitute.
but may possibly have an even great
er benefit In the way of reflex influ-
ence upon those who thus observe
the Golden Rule and help to establish
Il as a reality In daily living. -. The
might well contribute materially to
the betterment OF international rela-

The orphans and sufferers in
the Near East, are in sense, in
ternational wards, but our own
country is enjoying greater ma
terial prosperity than any other
nation, and should be able to do
more than its pro rata share. l
sincerely hope that Golden Rule
Sunday will be generally OBJ
served throughout Minnesota and
that the people of this state, who
are always generous, will be
especially liberal in this most
worthy cause.

Fate of New Railroad From
MeXicali to La Domba Hangs
In Balance as RumOrs Fly

just what will be the fate of the
proposed railroad between Mexicali
and La Bomba. on which work has
been progressing for several months,
is a question that is causing con
siderable rumor and gossip in the VI
cinity of Calexico and Mexicali.
The road branches off from the
Inter California line at Pascualitos,
nine miles east of Mexicali. and
from that point the roadbed has
been constructed for distance Of
II miles. \ mile and half of steel
has been laid and at present there
gre 20 ears of rails at Pascualito3,
waiting to be unloaded. Fourteen
ears have already been unloaded.
These rails were purchased by, the
National Railways of Mexico in
Belgium and were brought through
the Panama Canal to San Diego,
from where they were hauled over
the San Diego and Arizona Railway
to Calexico and thence to Pascauli-
toS.

National Railways of Mexico, who
was in Mexicali for several days re-

May Abandon Road

One rumor, which has gained CON
siderable strength, though it's source
could not be determined, is to the
effect that report has been made
to the federal government of Mex
leo, that La Bomba cannot be made
a practical port, without the expen-
diture of several million dollars and
that the government has decided not
to build the road.
1t would not, however, stand in
the way of the road being finished
by the government of the northern
district Of Lower California. In the
event the federal government with
draws its support from the project,
1t is believed the material which
has been purchased, will be stored
and work on the line abandoned, a
railroad man in close touch with
affairs stated today.
Similar rumors have been heard
ever since the road was started last
spring, but work has gone on as
usual. None of the Mexican Off
cials will discuss the matter in any
way, giving as their reason that they
cannot say anything until Director
Perez returns to Mexicalf next week.
Meantime work is proceeding, and
the Mexican byword "Quien Sabep
seems to be IN force.

JOHNSON OPENS
CAMPAIC N FOR
COMING ELECTION
Launches Violent Attack
On Mellon Tax
Reduction
by United Press Leased Wire

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 4.-Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon S tax
reduction plan and the administra-
tiOn's attitude towards the soldiers
furnished ammunition for Senator
Hiram Johnson S opening campaign
speech here last night.
Speaking at the Masonic audi
torium before a packed audience,
the Californian bitterly attacked the
tax scheme and assailed President
Coolidge s veto of the soldier bonus.
The speech marked the formal OPP
en.ng of JohnsOn's campaign for
the Republican presidential nomina
ton and outlined the senator's plan
of carrying the fight direct to the
people.
Characterizing the tax plan as
"A big business measure and de
nving the earners of small incomes
would be benefited, johnson said:
"There are 100000 people in
this country who pay taxes on in
comes of less than $4,000; there
are only 100000 who pay taxes on
incomes over $1,000 The men who
have an income of $250,000 will
save, under the Mellon plan, $4,000
a year. He who pays on 100000
will save $4,000 year; those who
have incomes of 100000 will be re-
quired to pay $4,000 less.
Rich Will Save
The fortunate ones who have
an income of $1,000,000 will save by
the Mellon plan, $252,000 a year
and the few who pay an income of
$5,00O,00o will save $4,000 year.
"Who is it that is indulging IN
this propaganda that is sweeping
over the country today! At the
head of it are our bankers and the
United States Chambers of Com
merce. Do you ina agine that it is the
man who by reduction of taxes will
save $40, or $50 or $50, or 800, or
do YOU think it is the individual who
will save 100000, $4,000, 100000,
100000 or $3OO,000?' =.
Concerning the soldier bonus,
johnson said:
GA part of the propa ganda, par
ticularly among those of big bust
ness interest, is directed against the
so-called soldiers adjustment COM.
pensation bill. From my standpoint,
this subject is no longer debatable.
With very few exceptions the leaders
Of the Republican party have pledg-
ed themselves and the party to the
passage of the act. -

POULTRY SPECIALIST
SAYS NO BEST BREED

Which is the best breed is a ques-
ton often asked us. In answer we
have to say that there Is no best
breed. You can find good and poor
layers, large and small birds compare
lively in every breed. 1t is the strain
more than the breed that is really the
more important thing to consider.
There are three recognized general
classes of poultry, the small birds or
so-called egg producing class, the
medium-sized bird, or the so-called
dual purpose class, and the extremely
large or the meat class. There is no
great distinction between the egg
class or the dual so far as the egg
production is concerned, for many of
the medium meat breeds are good egg
layers. And in the small sized birds
which are considered for egg laying
only, there are oftentimes found in
dividuals that will weigh from five
to FIVE and one-half pounds, and
these would make a fairly good meat
bird
In, regard to the breed you would
like to have, it is suggested that you
decide upon whether you want eggs
primarily, or whether you want gen
eral purpose breeds. When you have
made this decision, pick out the breed
which you like best, because this is
the breed with which you will get the
best results. Then after you have
picked the breed that you like best,
buy your stock or eggs from breed
er whom you know has bred for the
thing that you desire. This may be
egg production, or it may be show
purposes, or it may be combination.
You can find many breeders who have
bred for egg production, but their
stock may not be worth very much
for show purposes. You can find
breeders who have bred for show pur-
poses and their stock, in turn, may
not be worth very much for egg pro-
'duction. You can find a small per cent
of breeders who have combined these
two qualities and, of course, their
stock would naturally be worth more
because Of this combination.
Just as a parting caution be sure
you know the breeder from whom you
are buying your stock and be sure
that he has the strain of birds which
have the qualities which you desire
