The Mexican government considers dictionaries as advertising matter and levies an import duty on them. A slogan of the Zionist movement is : “Lead the people without a coun try to the country without a people.” The movement from the farm to the city is estimated by the Depart ment of Agriculture to have been ap proximately 2,000,000 persons.

President Obregon issued two presi dential proclamations recently which decreed a ten-year absolute closed sea son for the rapidly disappearing mountain sheep and pronghorned antelope of the Republic of Mexico. Many Japanese are going to South America because of the American pre judice against them.

Atrostotle, the great Greek philo sopher, lived more than 2,000 years ago, said in his “Rhetorica” (11.-12) the following about the young people of his time: “Their faults are nearly all errors of exaggeration. They ov erdo in cases of love and in all other tilings. They imagine that they know everything, and stubbornly stand on their point. They like to crack jokes for joking is the bad-mannerdness of the well-mannered.” Dr. S. K. Mardis, head of the rural education of Ohio State University, at Columbus, said: “No person, either native or foreign born, should be per mitted to vote until able not only to read and to write the English lan guage intelligently but until they have a well grounded knowledge of our government and a patriotic concep tion of the true spirit of the free in stitutions of America.” , • HOW TO BUD \ FRUIT TREE. 1 Raleigh, June 9.—ls you want new fruit tiees of a desirable variety, these I may be secured by taking 1 buds from the desired varieties and inserting 1 them on seedling stocks or on new ! wood o? obi trees.

This usually means one year old wood with the peach and two year . wood with ilie apple. | “A - cut should be made on the stock about 3-8 inch around the tree and an other one about 1 1-2 inches long above, vertical to and dividing this horizontal cut so it will look like an inverted T. Id then be taken >wth where moved but part of the petiole left to be used as a hancke. A cut should, be made about 3-4 inch above the bud so that ;it will be about half way thru the stick when it reaches the lower end o 71 tl a barn should be o u Then taking hold f c remove it from the stick , nnd ir?w t on the tree to be budded i laps until the lower end conu s : : contact with the lower part of the inverted T.
