Autumn Arbor Daj.
However little I may be
At least I, too, can plant a tree,
And some day It will grow so high
That It can whisper to the sky,
And spread its leafy branches wide
To make a shade on every side.
Then on a sultry summer day,
The people retting there will say
"Oh, good, and wise, and treat was lie
Whothoi'hMo plant this Messd tree."
Anonymous.
The time for the fall planting
of trees is again nigh st hand.
The custom of planting trees
' l the Tall and in the spring can
iot te urged too often or toe
strongly. Each year we cut sev
eral times as much timber as
grows. Fruit trees and shade
trees grow old and die. New
trees should be planted to take
the place of those which grow old
and useless.
The Legislature has added the
study of birds to the duties of
Arbor Day. In these days one
hears much about national prepa
ration for defense. Few have
any adequate conception of the
relentless war which insects
waging against the farmer
the fruit-grower. Birds are
best allies in fighting these de
structive enemies.
In accordance with a long es
tablished custom, Friday, Octo
ber 22, 1915, is hereby designated
as Autumn Arbor Day and all
persons connected with the school
are urged to observe the day by
the planting of trees, by the stu
dy of birds and by other suitable
exercises.

Nothing: adds more to the refinements of home than
good music. To have good music you must have a good
instrument. There are good bad. and indifferent instru
ments, and to the unskilled eye they look much alike.
The unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay
first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. 1 have
lived in this county since my birth, I am a taxpayer and
in a position to make good any business transactions.
Buy your piano, organ, or victrola from me and if it 15
not all right you can come tack at me.
There are families in every part of this county that
have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about
me.
Perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano
or Player Piano; or vour Plain Piano, for a Player. See
me. Let's talk it over.
