How Many of Spaniard's Daughters
Were Missing Had to Be Left to
the Imagination.
In Spain, and particularly in the
province of Andalusia, families are so
large that even Theodore Roosevelt
would have been appalled.
Hamilton Fyfe, the well-known
writer, was touring Andalusia on
horseback one winter and i-pent the
night in a fonda near Los Boliches.
At dinner over his hominy coup, Mr
Fyfe was amazed to see the multitudd
of daughters that the innkeeper pos
sessed.
"You have a fine, a very fine fam
Ily of daughters there," he said.
"Ah, senor," said the innkeeper,
"we've been very unfortunate with
our daughters. During a 1917 terral,
the chimney fell in and killed all but
eleven of them."

of the newspapers. I saw an adver

"I called the telephone number

She said her brother had advertised
the machine; that he had bought the

TREES SERVE TWO PURPOSES
Give Beauty to Town and Will Be
Source of Revenue to Future
Generations.
The women's clubs of the country
have organized for state-wide tree
planting. In California each district
of the federated clubs has been sup
plied with tree-planting data from the
association. In Georgia the tree plant
ing was done in the winter by the
Georgia federation, when thirty-one
memorial groves were planted under
the direction of Julia Lester Dillon.
In Delaware the federation is co-op
erating with the great road-building
program there in order to have the
highways of the state become one big
"road of remembrance." '`This is one
of the biggest programs before any
state," says Charles Lathrop Pack,
president of the American Forestry
association. "Every state should
watch what General du Pont and the
state of Delaware does. Samuel C.
Lancaster, the highway engineer who
built the Columbia river highway, has
submitted a comprehensive plan to
General du Pont. This includes tree
planting on an intelligent scale.
"The greatest educational campaign
the country ever saw is being worked
out through the schools of the country.
The coming generation will know the
value of ferestry to the country in
which it lives. Our forests are like
a bank. We must deposit in them if
we hope to draw out. Through the
planting of trees and the study of
outdoor life the children will easily
take up the economic side of the sub
ject and understand what must be
done toward saving our forests."
MAKE WAR ON TREE PESTS
Method by Which School Children May
Be of Great Service to
the Community.
Public school children of Trenton,
N. ~J., are setting a good example to
the country in their war on the tus
sock moth. The American Forestry
association at Washington wants to
receive reports on what other cities
are doing in this regard and would
like to fihd the city with the best ree
ord in collections. In the Trenton
Times this account is found.
"Boys and girls of the public schools
of the city are still continuing their
activities in the tussock moth cam
paign, and their last report shows
that during the month the boys and
girls have collected 1.284,809 cocoons.
Last year the pupils collected 2,000,000
during the entire campaign, and their
total this year will far exceed that.
"A splendid record has been made
by the Mc4gllan school pupils, who
head the lit with 1,186,795 cocoons.
The other schools reported as follows:
Centennial, 2,237; Cook, 15,049; Ham
ilton, 13,050; Hewitt, 46,000; Jeffer'
son, 2,867; McClellan, 1:186,795; Mc
Kinley, 5.093; Parker, 953; Washing=
ton, 2;810; Columbus, 11,152; total,
1,285,809."
Poisoning Field Mice.
Field mice are very destructive to
fruit trees this year and do not over
look some ornamental trees. The
mice can be poisoned by cutting ap.
plea into pfeces about an inch square
and placing a small amount ,of pow
dered strychnine in each piece.
Poisoned wheat can also be used to
kill mice. Bailey gives the following
formula: Scald five quarts of clean
wheat and drain. Take two-thirds of
a cupful of white sugar, dissolve with
sufficient water to make a syrup, add
powdered strychnine, stir thoroughly
until a thin paste is formed. Pour
this on the damp wheat. Stir thorough
ly for at least fifteen minutes. Add
one pint of powdered sugar, stir; add
five to ten drops of rhodium and the
same quantity of oil of aniseed. Scat
ter where the mice are troublesome.
Washing the trunks ct trees in
mild weather with lime wash in which
is placed paris green, sulphur and
tobacco dust will usually keep rabbits
and mice away.
On Tearing Down Houses.
Property is the fruit of labor; prop
erty is desirable; is a positive good in
the world. That some should be rich
shows that others may become rich
and hence is just encouragement to
industry and enterprise. Let not hi.h
who is homeless pull down the house
of another, but let him work diligent
ly and build one for himself, thus by
example assuring that his own shall
be safe from violence when built.

Plants Along Walls.
Soils near walls are usually too dry
in summer and too poor. Before
planting take out the soil to a depth
and width of three feet, adding ma
nure, ani leaf mold if it is to be had.
After mixing, return the soil and allow
it to settle. Climbers and other plants
may then be grown there successfully.
Water will be required daily during
hot weather.
