THE VALUE OF SHADE TBEE3-
Few farmers place any value on
shade trees. la riding over the
oouatry it is painful to observe the
average farm house standing In the
bleak, bare yard, scorched by th«s
summer sun or rauked and lashed
by the winds of winter. Bometimea
a tall, haggard pear tree or a few.
soraggly apple trees are eeea, or may
bsan evergreen that makesthedoor
y »rd look more like a cemetery than
aiythir.g else.
But very few, large, spreading,
ho spitable shade trees exist. The
farmer does not seem to think of
such a thing. As a rule, he is very
negligent of personal comforts, but
in no other item is he ao absolute
ly heedless of the beauty of his sur
roundings and the comfort of his
dwelling as in his neglect to provide
shade trees.
Out in the fiMd, peihaps, there
are a few shade trees. In cutting
timber from his land he has allowed
here and there a shade tree to re
main, but around his house every
thing remains bare.
The bard maple makes a beautiful
shades tree, and even a beech tree
if allowed to grow up as Nature in
tended will become symmetrical.
L’hev are not ideal shade trees, how
ever, for the hard maple is of slow
growth, while the beech is liable to
shed burrs during the latter part of
the season. The elm trees and
many varieties of the poplar are
h >rdy, grow rapidly and make beau
tiful shade trees. Os course, where
an oik tree already exists, or any
symmetrical tree, it should al
owed to remain.
However, all over this fair coun
try are seen large, commodious
f irmhouses with littlo or no shade.
Iu order to make up for tnisdefi
ciency tho farmer ought to be urg
ed to plant shade tree.-, says tho
R jtna Tribune. The most practical
and quick growing shade tree is ths
p plat. Not the cottonwood tree
n>r ths sycamore, but the silver
poplar, the Norway popular, ths
North Carolina poplar, or someone
of tho poplars that ai j of quick
growth and have lures leaves, if
kepte properly trimmed make a
symmetrical and beautiful tree.
Shade trees ought to b ’planted
for the health, Unless the shade
is too abundant, it is a protection
against many diseases. Is is a pro
tection in the winter against the
grip and other winter diseases. In
the summer it protects against
many d seasea that are directly
caused’ by torrid heat. Shade trees,
then, are what the farmers need.
They are also within easy reach, if
h i only hes abort of appreciation of
them. It is strange that our cities
and towns cultivate the shade tree,
while our farmers in the country
who are best able to afford them
neglect them entir. ly. ’
OBMAN’S BID-
Tho s“ i oh of Senator Gorman in
Maryland, the other day, in which
he severely attickeu President
Roosevelt on the negro question, is
according to the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Her

parties in Washington as a bld for
the nomination for the presidency
and at the same time a pace-maker
for tbe Democratic national catn
prign next. year.
President Roosevelt’s closest per
sonal and political friends regard
tin; GoTnm.ii speech as the begin

make the race problem a great issue

too, accept Mr, Gorman’s attack

issue.

AL IS A-
Although Alaska has been in pos
session ot the United States for
more than thirty years, but veiy
little is generally known of that re
gion It cost the United States about
$8,000,000, and it is worth billions.
Development has been slow until
the past few years, but the construc
tion of railroads, the groat develop
ers and pioneers of improvements
and civilization, is having an almost
magic effect on the country. The
wintars in Alaska are less severe
t in in Mmi.-na and Wyoming.
They havo more snow and ice in
New FiOglind than in Alaska. The
valley of Peace River Les nearly
1.000 miles north of the boundary

Northwest. la this valley are 15,-
000.000 acres of good wheat b ad,
and wheat, oats and barley are rais
ing there in quantities limited only
by the number of farmers.
Alaska is a rion country—rich in
farming land and minerals, includ
ing gold. In certain sections the
cold at times is intense, but a zast
area offers comfortable home- to
industrious farmers. Last year the
value of the Alaska salmon catch
was equal to what the United States
paid fur the entire territory.

Some Historical Truths-
Rome Tribune.
An Atlanta paper recently made tl e
following bad break-
“Atlanta is just thirty six hours be
hind New York in style.”
We haven’t inquired into the mit
ter, but we would suggest to those ;
hasty' contemporaries who are prone
to jump at conclusions that the paper
probably meant that Atlanta is already
one loop ahead of New York in style
and is now just thirty six hours be
hind New York on her second loop
ahead!
That explains how it is that Atlanta
can be both ahead and behind at th e
same time.
Recent excavations around the an
cient union depot in Atlanta disclose a
stone covered with hieroglyphics which
plainly indicate that Ananias was hus
tled off on the wings of a thunderbolt
not because he was the world’s most
conspicuous and magnificent liar, but
because he had the nerve to butt into
history before he had done a thing en
titling him to swing gracefully down
the corridors of time as “An Atlanta
ma n.”
Ananias is, therefore, doubly the
world’s most horrible example.
Disastrous Wrecks.
Carelessness is responsible for
many a railway wreck and the same
causes are making human wrecks of
sufferers from Throat and Lung
troubles. But since the advent of
Dr King’s New Discovery tor Con
sumption, Coughs and Colds, ev?n
the worst cases can be cured, and
bopelesc resignation is no longer
necessary. Mrs. Lois Crag?, of Dor
cheater, Mass, is one of many
whose life was saved by Dr. Kmg’s
New Discovery. This great yemedy
is guaranteed for all Throat- and
Lung diseases by Carlisle & Ward
and Brooks Drug Store. Price 50c
and $1 00. Trial bottles tree.
The Convict Trust-
Augusta Herald.
v The charge made in the last legisla
ture that there was a convict trust in
Georgia, makes one look askance at the
glee and noise and jubilation in certain
quarters that the price of convict labor
is up and at the top notch in the State
this year. The Herald believes that
the people of Georgia are heartily sick
am! tired of these periodic auctions of
jouvict labor—that the convict question
is not ono wholly of dollars and cents
and that there is much more to the
proposition than the contractors and the
prison commission seem to think when
they point with pride to the fact that
the average price obtained for convict
labor in Georgia is $225 per annum as
against--? 175, or $lB5, etc. The prison
comurssion has been in existence for
some years—they cannot juet’fy a con
tinuance of the’r office or at least of the
personnel of the present commission iu
office, if they continue to advocate
these periodic auctions of the State’s
criminals. Georgia expects something
more of the prison commission than oc
casionally o.iffing for bids for convict
leases;
