The Grtxlnft Deficit.
The IKeal year which closed with
June showed a deficit in the national
treasury of 900,000,000. Tor July, the
Hrst month of the new fiscal year, the
deficit is almost 523,000,000.
This speaks eloquently of the "re
publican penhis for financiering and
statesmanship" that we hear so much
about.
In the midst of hard times the re
publican administration, after having
Issued 150,000,000 of Interest-bearing
bonds, Jr plunging the country head
over heels Into debt.
It is not only collecting In ta.es. a
vastly larger amount of revenues than
ever were collected before from the
people of the United States, but it is
spending recklessly a good deal more
than it is collecting.
Navy expenses have risen in
years, from 34 millions to 118 millions.
Army expenses have risen from 48 mil
lions to 110 millions. This Is merely
a sample. In the last three years of
republican rule congress lias appropri
ated 83,428,000,000, or 35 millions more
than was appropriated during the four
years of the civil war!
Is it wonderful If times arc hard?
These tremendous taxes arc a constant
drain on the resources of the country.
They are piling up by leaps and
bounds. Now we shall have to tax
ourselves not only to pay enormous
expenses, but to clean up this heavy
and fast-growing republican deficit
In this connection it is well to bear
In mind thnt there Is no faintest prom
ise of economy made in the lepublican
platfoun, nor by republican candi
dates. Slide; Schiil Sesslin.

1005. It was a five-act comedy, "A
Modern Woodman," given under the
auspices of Guide Hock camp No, 1064,

Lieut. Walter M. Ellis of Rock Island.
Illinois. He and his sou Ray each
take part in the play and Mr. Ellis
drills other players for the perform
nnc. He usually gives ten rehersals,
but here he gave but five which shows
that Guide Rock has some splendid
local talent. The play was interesting
throughout and points out most em
phatically the advantage of fraternal
insurance. The Guide Rock orchestra
furnished splendid music. The mem
bers are: Miss Lou Watt, piano; E.
Charles Moore, cornet; Goo. Simpson,
violin; Ernest Hayes, clarinet; Don

were: act 1, the run on the Clti.cns

die west. When trees adapted to
local conditions have been planted,
und where the cltl7ens have cared for
them and taken an interest in them,
the results have been remarknble.
A public spirited man residing lu a
city in Missouri has been doing com
mendable work along this line, In con
nection with the Civic Improvement
League of his city. In tho year 1001
he planted a large quantity of seeds of
various trees in nursery rows. He
carefully tended the young seedlings,
and, a few years later dug them up,
labeled them, anil turned them over to
to the school children free, upon con
dition thai they ah&nld be plantcifnnd
cared for.
Since tho trees started life with tins
beginning of tho present century, they
were called "century trees", and this
gave them additional interest.
Each child was given printed direct
Ions, which were headed an follows:
"Ornament your homes Plant Cent
ury Trees, seedlings 1001 they are
living monuments; watch them develop
uiey ncgaii with the century, und
the century, as It advances, marks the
record of their age year by year."
Those who received trees were dl
reeled to dig holes tw o feet In diamtter
and one and one-half feet deep. They
were told to keep the loots of the
trees moist and covered until planted,
to see that all torn ends of roots weru
cut off smoothly, and to cut back the
side branches about a quarter or third
of their length, or, if the tree wnN a
straight shoot without branches, to
cut back the tip a few inches. Thla
pruning wo to balance the loss f
roots in digging up thfi treea.
In planting the tree, ther wrrtr to'
to spread the roots out into natuni'
position, and' to set tha tree about a
inch deeper than it stood in the nur
sery; to use good rich soil, bat to allow
no fertilizer or mulch to come in dlreet'
contaet with the roots; to work the
soil carefully about the roots, and
water the tree plentifully every few
days after it was set out, and dnriag
the dry weather of summer.
Five or six thousand trees were give
away in this manner. Two or three
trees were given to each ohlld who
asked for them, and almost every
child did so. There were many species
and naturally some died, but few
children lost all they planted. Each
child who received trees was required
to fill out a slip giving his name Und
address, and the place where the tree
was planted. The trees In public
places will be labeled when they have
grown somewhat larger.
The town is now dotted with Hhese
little "century trees", which have be
come the pride of those who planted
them,

Grain Dealers Interested.
The gruin dealers of the country are
lined up in support of the National
Corn Exposition to be held at Omaha,
December 0 to 10. No class of persons
associated with the grain growing in
dustry, from the farmer to the consum
er, is more elated over the constantly
developing prospects of an immense
show than these men whose business
it is to take the grain from the farmer
and turn it into the channels of com
mercial trade.
The grain dealer is an important
factor in this great industry; his time
and money arc employed in pushing
the grain forward to the manufacturer.
The miller, the wholesale dealer, are
each performing a service in the line
of commercial trade that educates to
an appreciation of the effort that the
National Corn Exposition Is making
for better grain, from which bettor
flour and better food products can be
manufactured.
