There is an average of 35 per cent loss, but in spite of this present in- dications are that the number of farmers who will plant trees to make new wood. lots next spring will be double what it has ever been before, according to County Agent, J. N. Robinson, State College is sending Prof, C. R. Anderson throughout the state as its specialist in forestry extension work, and he has in- formed the county agent that many re- quests for seedlings have been received and forwarded to the State Department of Forestry. Farmers are ordering trees in amounts from 200 to 22,000 and in several counties campaigns will be put on to have farmers begin planting their idle lands next spring. It is not advised to plant trees in the fall as frost is likely to heave them out of the ground, Trespass notices, printed on heavy cardboard, for sale at this office, § | All Houses Have Tablet Telling Name of the Responsible Dweller Within the Walls In Japan you can learn a good many things about the resident of a house merely by looking at his door. Ac cording to police regulations, says a writer In Chambers’ Journal the en- trance to every residence must have a small wooden tablet affixed to it. This tablet has the name and the number of the house on it, and on another tablet is the name of the responsible house- holder, who In many cases is an in- fant, a younger brother of a relative. Sometimes, though rarely, the names of other inmates are placed over the door, but there is no police regulation that requires it, except in the case of boarding houses, which have to place thelr boarders’ names outside for all to see, A person fortunate enough to possess a telephone always has the mumber proudly displayed over his en- trance. Near it you will often see a quaint enameled or tin disk. That is the fire Insurance mark. Every fire insurance company has its own special metal plate, which it nails to the lintel when It insures a house. There are always several small pleces of pauper pasted over the door, placed there by the police. One Is to certify that the periodical oshofl, or great cleaning, has taken place. An- other paper tells us, perhaps, that the sanitary conditions are satisfactory. What others stand for is known only to the police themselves; that they give secret Information about the in- mates is certain. Formerly it was the ru'e that, if there was a well upon the premises, the fact had to be proclaimed by a square board marked with the charac- ter for well—ido. This was to show where people could obtain water in case of fire In the neighborhood. The regulation may still be In force in country places, but owing to water now being piped, it is no longer enforced in the cities. HELPED PAY AMERICA'S DEBT How Mra. Monroe Was Instrumental in Saving the Life of Madame Lafayette, An Interesting sidelight on history les In the story of how the wife of James Monroe, fifth President, saved the life of Madame Lafayette at the time Monroe was American ambassa- dor to France. Lafayette himself was tn prison in Germany, and kept in a foul dungeon. Mme. Lafayette had been seized by the Revolutionists, and was confined in the prison of La Force, and a date had been set for her execu- tion. The Monroes were very much alive to the great debt America owed the young aristocrat, and Mrs. Monroe determined to do what she could. She ordered the state coach of the embassy, with its flaring coat of arms, to deliver her to the doors of the prison of La Force, and once there, calmly requested an interview with the unfortunate prisoner, An interview with a person sentenced to the knife was unheard of, but the dawning power of the United States was such that the officials dared not refuse the request of the ambassador's wife. A few words were exchanged between the women, and Mrs. Monroe drove away. The next morning she was berated, the French Revolutionists fearing to execute her, and desiring thus to secure the friendly attention of the new nation. It was a daring thing to do, for the results might have been disastrous and all sorts of In- ternational complications might have arisen. Oysters Have Many Enemies, Between the planting and the har- vest, an interval of from two to five years, the oyster culturist assumes many hazards. On the New England const, after all his material is down, the fickle “set” may not appear, pos- sibly because at the critical time some weather disturbance may have killed the baby oysters while they were yet swimming near the surface. In the Gulf of Mexico the “set” may be so heavy that there is scant room for the oysters to grow, and many dle, while those that are left are half starved and misshapen from crowding. Even when the little oysters or “spat,” have attached themselves in favorable num- bers, their perils have just begun. They are never safe from other ene mies until they fall into the hands of their arch foes. When the Ships Come In, In Hawaii, the Philippines and Cuba one of the chief topics of interest to the Islanders ls the arrival and de- parture of steamers. Newspapers de vote whole pages to these boat move ments, to lists of the passengers, interviews with notables on board and stories of the voyage by members of the officers’ staffs and crews. In fact the arrival of the evening train in a mainland country town holds no more interest for the residents than_the maritime news has for the people of Honolulu, Manila and Havana. The Cuban capital has a new object of interest In this regard in the lately instituted dally air serv. foe between that city and Key West. The planes are of the United States navy scout type, each carrying eight passengers.
