The pupils in the city schools axe undergoing the annual phys ical examination, which embraces tests of the eyes and •ears and in weight and height. The results of the examination are carefully recorded in blanks prepared for the purpose and preserved for future reference.

It is interesting to note the increase in height and weight of the boys and girls from year to year. "Fairbanks personal scales, as accurate as it is possible to make a machine of the kind, is used, and a patented measuring rod records the height of the pupil and the desk that should be used

the hearing and much good has resulted from this feature. Two pupils in particular were discovered to be'very much defective in their hearing which had not been known. The teachers were able to arrange their work in a. way that heretofore they T^rould haye not thought necessary.

All of the tests prove of advantage to the teacher and pu pil. Those who are found to have defective seeing and hear ing are given positions in the room that are better for them and the same is done in the assignment of seats to suit the measurements of the child. This physical examination would under no circumstances be abandoned.

Has no peer or competitor. Stands alone as the most attractive and highest finished base burner in the world. The reflector top, revolving fire-pot, doubleswing cover and very large hot air flues, area combination of good features found only on Garlands.

"Wednesday morning he was seen before daylight by Mrs. Jacob Hedrick at their residence but before Mr, Hedrick could be called fromthe barn,he had disappe^re| iin^ th^ dUtjk-

The observance of Arbor Day at the East Greenfield school Friday afternoob, proved much more interesting and enjoyable than was contemplated. There were quite a number of visitors, several o.f whom were teachers in other parts of the city. The 55 trees set out by the pupilseach pupil putting out a treewere furnished by Volney Caldwell. Mr. Caldwell also kflndly superintended the transplanting of the trees. The pupils of the school had prepared, and presented an interesting program Superintendent W. C. Goble -talked to the school of famous trees he had seen.

Rev. Blair, of the Christian church, talked of trees and compared them to people, drawing some interesting lessons therefrom. gjv-.

Mor^' thari' common interest

has been taken in the E as nurseries this fall foot up over Greenfield school, whictk was instituted this fall with Mrs. Ada New as teacher.

Fifty Men Busy at Work Shipping Out Fruit Trees.

No busier place about this city can be found just now than the big nursery of J.j K. Henby & Son, west ot" town. It is the time of the fall shipment of trees, plants, vines, etc. The season commenced on the first of the month and will continue until the middle of November.

This is one- of the largest nurseries in Indiana and shipments have been made this fall to Ohio, Illinois, New York, Michigan, Kentucky, Minnesota and Iowa. More than fifty men are packing the stock to go to these many points. This work is done with care. The trees go out to agents in bills that have been sold for delivery at certain places. They are packed in damp moss and covered with burlap. The bodies are completely wrapped in long straight rye straw to prevent their being bruised in carriage. Most of them go from Greenfield by freight, but many express cars are laden at the Pennsylvania station with trees that demand a quick trip.,

The electric cars are found to be of advantage in handling the product from this nursery that is billed out over other roads than the Panihandle. The early morning cars take them to Indianapolis where they are loaded at the freight depots and sent at once on their way, a saving of several hours that would be consumed in the transfer about the various yards if they left here over the Pennsylvania.

Eighty acres are planted in trees at this farm and 140 acres are devoted to the growing. It is necessary to rotate and hence but apart of the farm is in use.

There is a great falling off recently in the demand for fruit trees and a corresponding increase in the sale of forest tree seedlings. We don't like th is," said M. Henby, "for there is more money in handling fruit trees, butwfarmers are growing catalpa and black locust for fence posts and we must supply their demands."

ONE FUllTICKET BUSY SPOT NOW A STRANGE CROP HAD ID NERVE

Raising Trees for Fuel is a Paying justness.

William Wilstm and family, who have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. John Riley, Miss Sue Wilson and other relatives and friends in this city for a few weeks, will start for their home at Long Branch, California, the first of next week. Mr. Wilson says many prosper raising .their own wood in California. They plant the eucalyptus or bluegum tree, and within five or six years it is large enough for wood. The trees are set about five feet apart, and cultivated for one year, after which they are allowed to grow without further attention until ready for use. Some producers set out their trees and cut off a portion one year, another portion the next year and so on until they have cut the entire grove. By the time they have finished the last part, the first has sprouted up voluntarily and is again ready for harvest. The wood brings $10 per cord,and the business of raising it is very profitable. It is raised in the cheap land.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

BY W. C. GOBLE,

Supt. Christian Sunday School.

Jesus Annointed at Bethany. Mafct. 26: ,6-16. GOLDEN TEXI She hath wrought a good work upon me. Matt. 26:10.

The aim in this lesson should be to teach the little ones that if we are doing our best for Jesus, he knows and is pleased with what we do. Tell them the story of the little home where Mary, Martha and Laza-| rus lived. Let them understand that they gave him their loving hearts and watchful eyes and helping hands. Tell them of: the visit of Jesus to the grave of Lazarus and of the Master's work in bringing him to life again.

Some time after this Jesus and his disciples were the guests of this family. During the supper hour Mary broke an alabaster box and poured precious ointment on the Master. The ointment cost a great deal of money but Mary loved the Master so dearly that she wanted to express her love for him and took this means of doing soLittle children sometimes show their love for their parents and friends by giving them gifts.

Sonke of the people who were present thought it very unwise^ for Mary to waste this precious ointment. They said it should have been sold and the money given to the poor, but Jesus, could understand the acts of Mary better than they and ha said he was very much pleased with what she had done.

Jesus knew that he Wets not to live very long and he said Mary had given it to him that he might enjoy it while he was yet alive. He told them that they would always have a chance to give presents to the poor people but that he would not always be here.

Jesus was pleased and told1 the company so. He said that wherever in all the world the story of Jesus was told, people would talk about the box of precious ointment that Mary had poured' upon the head and feet of her Lord.

That happened a long, long ago, and your teachertr will tell you about it in your Sunday School class tomorrow. Whatever Jesus said then was true and it is just as true today. Whenever our helpful hands do anything because we love Jesus, he understands and is pleased
