DR.. Edwards, a student of interna-
tional affairs, views the new law as
a declaration Of economic war
upon the whole world" squirting
harmful retaliations.
20 Billions in Loans
1.-THE value of the commodities
exchanged by the nations of the
earth is annually about $35, G0O,-
000000," commented DR.. Edwards
today. "Of this, the United States
supplies about IS per cent of the
total exports and u per cent Of the
imports.
The value of the loans made by
citizens Of the United States to
foreign countries is estimated at
$20,OO0,O000 900.
About 8 per cent of the total
domestic production of the United
States is exported; but small as is
this proportion, it determines the
value Of the total product.
Then, too the United States is
dependent upon imports for many
of her industries. The purchase Of
these imports is, at least in part
provided for by exports.
These simple facts will show at a
glance how important any tariff law
may become in its influence upon
these factors in the relation of the
United States to those countries
with which she trades.

Change in the method of paying
poor relief applicants who worked

caused the reduction from $4,000

Found Inspiration in
the Hours Of Darkness

Rarely did Balzac spend the eve
ming with his guests. He never did
so when he was pressed by work.
Immediately after dessert he said
goodnight and went to bed. Even in
summer have known him to leave
us at seven o'clock of beautiful
evening and climb pensively to his
room where he would force himself
to sleep, that he might rise at mid
night and work until morning.
Probably no one ever lived more at
night than Balzac. The complete 81
lence of life and nature gave him the
composure necessary to the creation
of his masterpiece. A great ship
seeks the wide sea and the limitless
depths. 1t was while traversing the
lonely woods of Vile d'Avray and
Versailles that he carried on his med
itations. He confessed to me that
many times he found himself in
dressing gown and slippers bare
headed, in the Place du Carrousel,
after having spent the night wander
ing through woods and villages, over
roads and across meadows. He would
then mount a Versailles coach and
return to Vile d'Avray by way of
Sevres, only forgetting to pay the
conductor for the simple reason that
he had left Les Jardies without a
cent in his pocket.
This annoying discovery never sur
prised anyone, for all the conductors
knew him, and Balzac himself was
used to going about without any
money on him. Another habit of his
was never to carry a watch.-Leon
Gozlan in "Balzac in Slippers"

FOR COLDS
ALKALINIzE
YOUR SYSTEM

Doctors everywhere are prescrib-
ing this new treatment for colds:
Begin when you feel cold COM
ing. Take a tablespoonful of Phil
lips Milk Of Magnesia, morning,
noon and night, the first day. Do the
same second day. Then only at night.
Colds reduce the alkalinity of your
system. That's what makes you feel
achy, feverish, weak, half-sick. Phil
lips Milk of Magnesia is alkali in
harmless, palatable form. 1t checks
the symptoms of colds by restoring
the alkalinity Of your system.
Relieves sour stomach, Indigestion,
gas, over-acidity. All drugstores.

the public, or that part of 1t which
uses the forests, was instructed in the
necessary care to guard the forests
againt destructive fires.
President Coolidge followed suit with
American Forest week, going even
deeper into the forest problems, and
urging that farmers plant vacant and
unproductive land with trees, and de-
velop, and tend their present woodlots.
If ]. Sterling Morton is honored as
"the Father Of Arbor Day." some kin
dred title should be devised for
Charles Lathrop Pack who has been
outstanding in carrying on the work
started by Morton. For years Mr..
Pack has gone up and down the coun-
try preaching the doctrine of plant
trees! Plant trees! Plant trees !
AS president of the American Tree as
ISOLATION he has originated many plans
for awakening the interest of the
American people in trees-no only in
conserving such forests as we have
now, but in planting trees to provide
for the forests of the future. He has
sponsored "Hall of Fame for Trees"
wherein may be registered those trees.
which have been connected with some
historic event or which have some sim
liar claim to fame. He has promoted
the idea of planting memorial trees
and creating Roads of Remembrance"
in honor Of the soldiers of the World
war.
On the fiftieth anniversary of the
founding of Arbor day in 1922 Mr..
Pack announced his far-seeing plan for
celebrating the centennial of Arbor
day in 1912. His idea is summed up
in these words. "Plant a centennial
tree and register it with the American
Tree association so that your name
will be on the honor roll of tree plant
ers and good citizens so years from
now" Since then the association has
urged this idea upon Americans so
that thousands of trees will be planted
and marked by 1872 and the centennial
celebration of that year may be made
the greatest ever held in this country.
His latest idea is that of joining in
the bicentennial celebration of the
birth of George Washington next year
by planting ten millions Of trees this
year and next in honor of the Father
of His Country, who was also tree
lover-a living memorial to "a great
man stretching clear across the coun-
try.
Arbor day is observed in the war;
GUS states throughout the country as

Next year will be celebrated his cen
tennial, for he was born in Adams,
Jefferson county, N. Y, in 1882. When
young Morton was two years old his
parents moved to Michigan and there
he grew up, attending private school
in Monroe and then Methodist semi
nary in Albion. In 1850 he entered
the University Nof Michigan and re-
manned there for most of the course,
but withdrew in his senior year and
was graduated from Union college in
his native state in 1854.
In the same year he was married to
a Michigan girl and the young couple
decided to Ego West and grow up with
the country" They settled first at
Bellevue in the territory of Nebraska,
but moved later to what is now Ne
braska City, where Morton was
member Of the town company, which
surveyed and established that town.
Adjacent to the townsite he pre-empt-
ed a tract of land half mile square
and upon that site he built his home
which he called "Arbor Lodge"
Morton was the founder and first
editor Of the first newspaper in Ne
braska City, the Nebraska City News
and was prominent figure in Nebras-
ka during its territorial days. In 1858
President Buchanan made him Sec
Rotary Of the territory. and upon the
resignation of Gov. William A. Rich
ardson he became acting governor.
He was, however, more interested in
other matters than in politics. He was
an original member Of the Nebraska
Territorial Board of Agriculture and
the Territorial Horticultural society.
Coming from two heavily-wooded
states, New York and Michigan, Nor
ton was struck by the bleakness of
the .'treeless state" as Nebraska was
called at that time.
The result was that at a meeting
OF the state board of agriculture on
January A, 1872, Morton introduced
a resolution setting aside April 10 for
tree planting so that Nebraska would
be a ''treeless state" no longer. More
than million trees were planted that
year and several million more during
the following years.
In 1885 the Nebraska legislature,
wishing to further honor the man who
had originated the idea Of Arbor day,
passed an act changing the date of its
observance to April %, Morton's birth
day, and making it legal holiday in
that state.
In 1898 Morton entered the cabinet
Of President Grover Cleveland as Sec
rotary Of agriculture, remaining in
Office until 1897.
By 1895 the Nebraska legislature
was able to proclaim to Nebraska's sis
ter states that henceforth she was to
be known as the 'Tree-Planter State"
because this commonwealth, which
had once been so markedly destitute
of this form of verdure, now had more
than 100000 acres planted in trees.
President Roosevelt was strongly
impressed with the wisdom of an Ar
Dor day program and threw the influ-
ence Of his Office strongly behind the
movement. The aid he gave the tree
planting received fresh impetus under
President Harding. through setting
aside Forest Protection week, when
