When it comes to a question of vaccination or vacation, leave it to the school child to have a well-established opinion. We need not fear the possibility of this becoming a land of pessimists so long as people go to picnics without their raincoats. New Jersey Plants Trees State Forester Wilber of New Jer sey is able to announce that residents of his state planted a million pine, spruce and fir seedlings on 1,100 unproductive acres this spring. Distribution of seedlings began In 19*23; in that year 800,000 of them were set out In; the taain they have done well; each year sees more land owners Interested, more applicants for seedlings, more Intelligent care of the plantations. Nothings better, nothing more profitable can be done with much of the land in every state than to plant it to trees. Trees pay dividends ito foil enrichment in water conservation, in protection of wild life, in cash. Trees cause posterity to rise up and bless the generation that planted them, says the New York Sun. A great deal would be forgiven the man who consistently planted "trees; but the man who plants trees is not the kind of man who needs forgiveness. He leaves that for the man who requires it--the man who by carelessness, In Ignorant greed or otherwise, fails to 4o what he can to preserve and extend the forests of the land. h*: - CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS USE THE CLASSIFIED COLUMNS FOE QUICK RESULTS FOR SALE "The man on horseback" has been a figure in popular political romance.

Every year--and ever year In increasing quantity--thousands of tons of the deep fruit layer of surface soil are Washed away to the sea. ... If the country's watersheds were covered with a sufficiently dense mantle of trees, the rainfall would be stored and the flow of the rivers regulated, says the Johannesburg Times. The surface soil, instead of being washed awayt would be gently and consistently moistened.

' In considering the future of the automobile business it Is well to remember that this great industry begins I each year with an assured basic market of from 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 cars ' which represent replacement sales.

Some employers prefer dirty-faced boys to begin with. One employer wrote to the committee: "I want an honest little tough ^Ith ruther dirty knees and a soiled face'and thorough understanding tliat life is a struggle and the devil take the hindmost. I prefer them (I. e., boys, not devils) to be short, sturdily built, either fair and dirty faced, or dark and red faced with just a suspicion of a cold in the head." The advisory committee, commenting on the request for a "little tough," says: "All employers are not so easy to satisfy,' by any means.** Loud Speaker Drives Pests From Orchard Ordinary scarecrows will frighten away almost any sort of bird that damages crops but common, street variety sparrows are no respecters of scarecrows. Discovering this to his sorrow, Gustav Schmltz, owner of a huge orchard near Hornburg, Germany, has been in despair for some time past, according to the Chicago Tribune, and could only stand by and watch his fruit devoured by hungry hordes of the pesky little birds until he thought of his radio. Moving a raucous loud speaker into the orchard and turning the amplifier on his set up to its fullest pitch he defeated the birds with the first blast of radio sound and at last reports the or chord was still clear. TERSE TRUTHS Love is a thing full of anxious jears. --Ovid. How we enjoy a man who has no tale of woe to tell! An evil may be popular simply because it is under cover. Beware of the human who rarely laughs.--Forbes Magazine. It's a queer world; those who aren't dodging taxes are dodging taxis. Some men's natural bent seems to be patterned after a corkscrew. Some people find it easier to please others than to please themselves. It goes without saying that the less said about some things the better. The pace that kills wouldn't be so bad if it killed only the pacemaker.. If you are without sentiment, you are not a success.--Forbes Magazine. You must have a genius for charity as well as for anything else.--Thoreau. Why shouldn't an automobile be built to last a lifetime? A piano does. When a man acts like a mule the latter would be Justified iu kicking him. » What a monotonous old world this would be were it not for the delusions therein. Conscience gets a megaphone when it wants to remind jou afterward of what it said before. We all know we ought to»vote; and that's one compulsion that not many would complain under.
