This proves several things : first, that 

 Recreation goes into every State in the 

 Union : second, that people read the adver- 

 tisements in Recreation, for this puzzle 

 was set in the midst of them ; third, that 

 women and children read the advertisements 

 as well as busy men. 



Moral — It pays to advertise in Recrea- 

 tion, especially if you have anything to sell. 



A resident of the Pecos Valley, New 

 Mexico writing to a friend, says: 



"Apple trees do not succeed at all in this 

 country. Those planted last fall and this 

 spring are nearly all dead. I am very 

 anxious to leave here, and I am not alone in 

 my wishes."
