I ti. an k i n KUTI *1 NG K KIMI Rn I-: AT ATI % i:� 90 states is highly productive, A noted American agri� cultural expert, after a visit to all these states, ventured the Opinion that, given even a half� hearted effort to extend the neglected farming industry. Mexico by 1950 will be one of the first countries of the world in the volume of its agri� cultural products. The prosperity of Mexico is linked with thut of the Hinted States. The American people cannot but feel the deadening weight of a pauper nation next door to them ; similarly they cannot but feel a beneficial effect from a pros� perous nation next door. It is to be sincerely hoped that the troubles in Mexico will keep on dwindling, and that she will soon start on her upward career. bring to your land by reason of their decorative affect. Arbor Day is not far away. Plan to plant one or more trees on your lot. "Entered an second ria** m i te r at (hr- po-t little* *1 Ma*1 Moil, bb l*rrtn�jn, under the Aet of March a. IST'.1."

In 18 years those 12 trees have grown to fine size, their branches spreading beautifully around that central spot The acre on which those trees grow was worth $200 as a cowlo'.. Today it is worth $1000 as a building site, entirely because of the trees that Mayor Kennedy planted. Trees are a joy forever. They are worth planting for the pleasure of seeing them grow; they are worth planting for the value they E P RIPLEY IS DEAD I P. RIPLEY, chairman of the board of di- .-* . rectors of the Santa Pe railway system, was president of the road for many years. The biography printed in connection with the report of las death says: He started his career as a clerk iii a w h o l e � sale house in Poston. He entered the railway business as a elerk when he was 21 in the freight department of the Boston odic** of th*1 Pennsyl� vania system. ' He learned the business step by step- win� ning promotion after promotion, until Ie- be came president of the road He attained sin cess because at all times he studied the railway business, and ei^kualP the job just next higher than his own, and Im was ready to till vacancies efficiently when they occurred. Ripley belonged to that school o f workers who believe that studs and work is what counts, that initiative is recognized and that r e s p o n s i � bility is placed on only those who know what to do. There was no thought in his mind about ti .. world owing him a living; he was one of those who thought he owed a living to h im s e l f , aud lie worked to get it. ANT AND MAN \ I r ATC ll the ant at work. He has h is world. V t his work, Ills problems as we have. H oif far does his world extend? How far into his environment does his power of p e r c e p � tion penetrate? He doesn t know you arc near. Your immeiiHif v is beyond his comprehension. (iii the ut her side of t lie hill, a stone 'n i lit ow away, is another ant hill. The creature under your observation does not know it exist' Ile will complete the span of his brief life witlxflit ever learning what is beyond the little sphere of hi a activities. How like the ant are humans What wond� erfully immense things there may be iii the uni- verst' of which humans cannot conceive any more than the ant can conceive of the human sphere. There may be even a race of beings a s high above man as man is above the ant.
