TO PLANT I.nte autumn, just before the heavy frosts come, ia the best time for trans planting trees. The private individual who wants to lo something for his own plcnsuro nnd for the benefit of coming generations should send to the nurseryman or go to the woods and get a tree or two to set out in the yard. For amateur planting tho tree of one or two inches in diameter is best. A Inrge clump nf enrth should be taken up with the tree. The lower brunches should he pruned nwny so na to balance as nearly ns possible top nnd root aren. They should bo trans ported cnrefully so that the earth may lie shaken from tho roota as little an possible. The excavation for replanting should be generous, and the tree should be carefully watched ami wa tered. The watering should be con tinued on through tho first summer also, as the transplanted tree Is an In valid recovering from a surglcnl opcr ntion, nnd not quite strong enough to get along without a carefully admin istered liquid diet. Mere licnutlfylnff of his property Ik tho smallest reward which a trans planted tree gives to Its ownor. II gives him a healthy Interest, It stirs his curiosity, it takes his mind away from businnss enre out into the world of growing things nnd it no once gets out there ho will never enmo nil the way back. It will stir his imagination 1o dreams of those, who, when ho Is gone, will sit in the shade, of that tree nnd bless him for It. foreign buyers. It is a world shortage grent ranomment are empty.

Some aiithot Kies are talkirti of 10 in 2fi cents a pound nexfyear. Such prices are enough to givc.i heart failure to the housewife wh- thinks 11 or I2.eenls is an outrageous price, when she used to get the Ha me sugar for about half that miirh. Let us devoutly hope that these prophecie: will prove false. Nevertheless, if the; should be realized, or approximated there is some consolation to tie founi in the fart that the sugar may be real ly worth the money. The aerial food value of sugar j: something to which unscientific foil have given little thought It is. verj high. There is no waste in sugar, when it is not eaten to excess it is all dl gested nnd utilized. And without at tempting an exact comparison of cn lorifie units, it is probably safe to sa; that there is more actual fuel value, more potential energy, more work, in a pound of sugar than in a pound of any other foodstuff that can be bough, from the grocer or butcher for any where near the high -prices mentioned. akaw cm 2f i ailO DAY THAT IS WORTH CEUvlIKATINn. Tho La Grande I'ost of the Ameri an Legion propone h to put in the whole day, Novemher fl, in eelebnit iri(f. Thift i.s tho first annual Armi stice Day, a Hutu that nuiHt hence forth take on the nature of a holiday because if its importance and signifi cance as tho clone of the worM's greatest war." While the war will not have heon officially ended by thai time, tho fighting has stopped, and that was the main desire which reach ed a culminntion on that November morning but n short year ngo. Witn the confirmation of thin news flashed to the four corner of the world came the greatest ray of hope that had cheered tho dreary earth for nearly four and a half yonrn. And the glad tidings reached every corner of thin country, the big cities und the ohHcure hamlctn alike, for in them nil were anxious men and henrt-torn women. It is appropriate that tho.se who wore in the struggle, and know bv ex perience what war is, should lead off in this celebration. Primarily it their event, hut it is one in which a may Join, with tho utmost good will I nnd feeling of gratitude ns well n. high appreciation that it was the men or tho American- I.egmn who helped to force on Prussian militarism tho Armistice Pay. sort and of little more than the oi. ize, to tide over the interv.t! uitil r new, permanent military policy ah: have been adopted. Ami from prex'n indications, that "permanent" policy which will really t,e only temporary wili provide for a force only orie-terul or one-fifteenth of the, number rj'cynt !y in arms. ft meant a tremendous change ii American life and thought to nrn tho.e 4,0H)fOOO men. Their mobiliza tion was accordingly looked upon witl many misgivings. The nation had been so shaken up, and those fighting millions in particular had been s shaken up, what would happen whei Lhey returned home? Revolution, po litical or industrial? Crime? Vaga bondage? Radicalism of every kinr1 turned loose? Society shaken? Prop erty menaced ? The steady, perma nent foundations of liberty imperiled? Nobody Knew. Those 4,000,000 men have come back home and nothing has happened That is, nothing evil or disquieting har happened that can bo attributed U them. The armies of other nations may have gone home to raise red flags and flaunt lowered moral stand nrds and prench confiscation and tin overthrow of the old order. The Amer ican soldiers have come back and helped to steady things instead of setting them. They are better Amer icans than ever. Demobilization is u greater triumph than mobilization.

Joromo said that he read a intent medicine advertisement once which gave the symptoms of liver com plaint, and one of the symptoms was, ''A total disinclination to work of any kind." Then, for the first time in his life, Jerome declared, he knew what was the matter with him. He had a) ways thought it waR lnziness, but now he knew it was liver complaint! Now the medical fraternity has a new name for -it. The doctors call ii "encephalitis lethargia." It seems that this preference for resting rather than working, or fishing rather than figur ing, arises because a man is not work ing nt the right Job. When he finds hin own real job, tho symptoms will disappear and bo replaced by energy. It Is not laziness which mnkes tho feet big to the office, or t'le heart I grow heavy at th sight of the stack of dishes in the kitchen sink. Perish the thought!
