"NONSENSE GIRLIES." "
To Have Trees Grow.
When planting trees the soil should
be carefully worked around the roots
with a pointed stick. No air spaces
should be left, and it is as well to soak
the soil around the roots so that the
tree will stand , firmly, Most trees
should be planted two or three inches
lower than they w'ere in the nursery
or the woodlot.
Thfre can be no fixed rules for
spacing trees. .Along streets they will
range from 30 to 80 feet apart, de
pending upon the variety used,
If the tree planter has not pruned
his tree before he put it in the ground,
it should be done immediately after
wards. Frequently there is too little
rather than too much pruning at the
top,. The tree top should balamce the
root f.ystcnis. Many tre4 planfers finJ
it best to remove all the side branches
of the deciduous tree, leaving only
the leader or main shoot.

Fish Scales.
Andy MacDonald live
vabin he had built witlnis own hands
on the banks of a famous salinon
river in the highland
He claimed to have made most of
the record rish. catches in that vicinity
during the last twenty years, and he
keot a hix record book containing
dates and weights to impress vi.sitors.
Last . summer a young married
couple from London were occupying
a small bungalow near Andy's cabin
A baby was born to them, and the
t . '(. i .11
only scales tne proua tamer couiu
obtain on which, to. weigh the, new
arrival were those on which Andy
had weighed all the big fish he had
caught in twenty years.
The baby tipped' the scales at
twenty-five pounds!
Little Jamie Hyatt.
A place is vacant in the home,
Little Jamie was called one
day,
We wanted to keep him with us
But the angels bore him away,
We miss his little prattling,
His smiles and dimples rare,
But he's resting in love- with the
angels above, V
With God Jn His tender care.
We can hear his little voice
It will ever live on the breeze,
He's a bright little star to guide us
Over the stormy seas.
Happy and gay is Jamie today,
Pom conflict and suffering he's free
So why feel sad when Jamie is glad,
And some day with him we'll be.
The farewell was full of sadness
But think of the -wonderful joy,
When face to face at the.beautifu
..gate
We meet our darling boy;
He's a shining jewel in heaven,
Like a flower ,in the morning dew.
He has life s burdens escaped, found
, a happier place,
-Up there with the good and the
. true.
Jamie sang a sweet song just before
he died,
There was nothing more beautiful
... . to see, : .... .. . .. ... . ' -,
His .iace upturned, his angelic voice
binjnng "Little ones like me."
Some day we shall hear that heavenly
chord , , .
Harmonious its echoes shall ring,
But only in heaven is such to- be
heard,
With Jmie we ever shall sing.
M RS, FLORENCE DOWNS:
In Memory of Butler
Jenkins, Who Died July 26
Remember, friends, and think of me,
Who had, a dying friend,
Your! pleasures can not always be
Your joy must have an end.
My dear companion snatched away,
And I am left alone,
In grief and sorrow here-1 stay,
And like a dove I mourn.
A mourning here like Noah's dove
When from the ark was sent.
And when the evening shade comes on
My time is .almost spent. '
But when I lay my body down
Upon my bed to sleep, ,
My dear companion soon I find,
Which causeth me to weep.
Then sleep departeth from my eyes
While J do he and mourn
Non'e can express my secret thoughts
Except tjrie Lord- alone.
My little children stand around
They hang upon my knees
And with their little tongues
They give me some relief.
Then, O, my children who are dear
Remember what I say,
Don't be too hard nor too severe
On those whose power's above.
But praise the Lord that rules on high
tie works tor all btr good,
He sent His Own Begotten Son
To purchase us with blood.
MRS. BUTLER JENKINS.

Essay on Pants.
, Pants are made for men and not
for women.
Women are made, for men and not
for. pants. v
When a man pants' for, a woman
and a woman pants for a man that
makes a pair of pants. '
Pants are like molasses; they are
thinner in hot weather and .thicker
in cold 'weathet. . '
There has been much discussion
as tb whether pants is singular or
plural; but it seems to us that when
men wear pants it's plural; and when
they don't it's singular.
If you want to make the pants last,
make the coat first. Exchange.

Traffic Man Salutes STAR.
Atlanta, Ga., July 9, 1924.
I must tell you of the very excel
lent performance of the STAR Car
Model C bought of you in late May
by my son Thomas through John W.'
Lloyd. ,
We left Atlanta 5:00 A. M. of July
4th and spent that night in the little
mountain town of Clayton, Ga., andV
the following morning went over to
Franklin, N.. C,; where the gas was
measured and we proceeded thence
over the 28 miles of wonderful North
Carolina roa,ds to Bryson City, N. C,
in time for lunch, where the gas- was
again measured and ve had con
sumed exactly ONE GALLON on the
28 mjles. It is true road conditions
were perfect and no attempt at speed
was made but on account of the ter
rific curvature and the necessity for
frecuen.t' low-gear, it strikes me this
was an, excellent showing.
Returning from Franklin, N. C, af
ter visiting the Cherokee' Indian Res
ervation beyond Bryson City, a total
mileage of 211 miles from Atlanta,
we faced the most awful, road condi
tions I have ever experienced, leaving
Franklin at 8:00 A. M. of Sunday
July 6th and reaching Atlanta that
evening at 9:00 P. M.,. with' this mo
tor purring as sweetly as at the start,
driving contitiuously with two-thirds
of the distance in low-gear and
through mud up to the . runningr
board, turning completely over a
five-foot embankment (in which luck
was with us), pullim? one Cadillac
and two Fords out of the mire at in
tervals and fighting every inch of the
way, makes me have a really affec
tionate regard for this low-priced car
and likewise for its driver through
that awful nightmare. To my son
and to the STAR car-I salute both
of them 1 , Cordially' yours, ' .
