Arbor Day mid n due observance
thereof, was suggested at the ladies
Auxiliary at its last meeting. It
takes place April 12, so that there
is not much time to lose. Kvcry
residence street and grounds, pub
lic or private, is enhanced in value
and improved in beauty and com
fort by the use and adornment of
trees, and for this reason each per
son should feel an interest in giving
it their individual attention.
t
One year from todny the presi
dent will hnve been inaugurated
just eleven days. Who will it be?
That is the question now agitating
the public mind, but November
will soon roll around, and March
4th will follow soon thereafter. In
the meantime let the wheels of in
dustry continue revolving nnd busi
ness keep on growing, trustfully as
Nil red that our country is safe and a
still greater and more promising fu
ture is in store for it.
It doesn't seem as if the county
court is treating this city right iii
regard to the free ferry. It agreed
to oficratc the old boat until the
new one is ready to be placed in
comtniNsiou, but no attempt has been
made to do this. It is ti tie that
the approaches needed fixing, and
that it waH necessary to drive pil
ing wider amrt to admit the wider
boat that is being built. Vet need
this interfere very materially with
operating the old boat at the same
time? As is usual, the county work
is dragging along mighty slow, and
if it is ucccflmiry to wait until it
complete the two approaches and
sm, it in doubtful if a free ferry
will be in oeratioti inside of six
weeks. Surely a shaking up in the
county comuiiHHiouers' officers would
not be out of order. (Since the
above was in type the county court
has agreed to have the old boat in
commission by Wednesday. Kd.)

According to the city papers the
socialis or I. W. W.'s played a
a very .scurvy trick upon Baden
Powell, the great Hoy Scout organ
i.ur and promoter, Satuiday. Ily

held in the Gipsy Smith audito
rium was disturbed to such an ex
tuul that it was almost impossible
to hear what he had to my. The
firNl melitioiied strongly advocate
and demand free and undisturbed
speech in Portland, but it seems
they believe this wune free and tin
disturbed kihiccIi should be reserv-
til e.NchiNively for their leaders nnd

The regular oiouthly meeting of
the Commercial club held Wednes
day evening was unusually interest
ing and entertaining. Owing to
the absence of both the president
and vice president, J. N. Edlefscu
was elected to preside, which he did
in a capable and faultless manner.
A synopsis of the business trans
acted by the board of governors
during the past month was read.
It .showed a number of imortaut
matters taken tin and disposed of,
Seven new members were added to
the enrollment.
John E. Grntkc, vice president
of the State Development League,
and also holding the same position
in the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, was present upon invita
tion of his old friend, , P. Craw
shavv. He proved a ready, easy
and most pleasing speaker, and ad
vanced a number of valuable sug
gestions relative to the successful
woi king and ierpctuity of a com
mercial club. He extolled the vir
tues of St, Johns from its position
011 the map, likening it to Manhat
tan Island, New Vork city. Mr.
Oratke Mated that while its prog
ress could be greatly accelerated by
push and energy back of it, yet St.
Johns is bound to wax larger and
larger by reason of its environment.
He congratulated the club upon .se
curing the services of Mr. Craw
shaw, whom he has known for
years. His address was received
with close attention and pleasure.

Among the most popular books
in tne library at present are three
slender little volumes by Arnold
Hemictt. The people who want
something to while nway the time
they must spend on the car like
these books for three reasons:
First, they are small enough to be
slipped into the pocket; second,
they are short enough to be read
through in an hour or so; third,
they arc so brightly and so wittily
written as to hold the attention
against distractions. Moreover
they arc full of thoughts that are
worth remembering. The first of
these books is one especially for
for those people who "haven't
time." It is called: "How to Live
on 24 Hours a Day."
Ior years the magazines and pa
pers have been telling us how we
may live 011 so many dollars per
day. Here is something that con
cerns us more deeply. People have
been known to increase their finan
cial incoiiic.biit whoever succeeded,
honest men or gratter, in getting
hold of more than 2.1 hours a day?
So the only alternative for those of
us who have not been able to make
out a living on that allowance
(and we are not few) has been to
dispense with living and put up
with a mere meagre existence. For
who would call it living wlicu wc
never have time to do the things we
most want to uof Hut there is
help in sight. Here comes Arnold
Iieuuett with news of how wc may
not exist only, but really live on
the hours which the gods allow us.
Head it.
The other books which are
gestivc in their way as the
are: The Human Machine
Mental Efficiency.
Two books 'have recently
donated to the library by patrons.
They ate: "Doc Gordon," by
Mury 15. Wilkius Freeman and
"Just Patty," by Wells.
The gardening books are in great
demand. Several new ones have
been added during the week. Ask
for the special lists 011 sweet peas
or any flower or vegetable in which
you are interested.
