Trees Keep re (bot.
Everyone knows that a house
standing among trees is far cooler to ,
summer than one that elands bars
and unprotected, but if asked the rea-
son moatpeople would answer, ' Why,
because trees give shade and keep I
off the sun." j
This is only half an answer, for
trees do very much mare than give
shade. They tend to lower the tem-
perature .tn their neighborhood, for
during the day they give out large
guaaUUes of moisture and so cool!
and purity the surrounding air. ,
A certain botanist who has given ,
much thong to the matter estimates
that a good-sized foliage tree such
1as an elm may produce a crop of 1
no fewer than seven million loaves..
The combined surface of all these ,
i..amounts .to... no.._lass than 200,000

! tree may expose to the air nearly Ave
1 acres of foliage, and during a hot
summer day the whole of thin tm-
f mem* area of gr.rnery la exhaling '

trees around a house, and to realise
how Important they are in towns.
Even In Britain, where they get a

years. the advantage of planting
trees In streets is self-evident; In
warmer countries trees In towns are
not a luxury, but a necessity. and to

new reeldentlal street Is planned, the -
i first thing done is to plant a row a

We are exporting 815,567,234 more
manufactured goods than we are
importing. Our railways are piling
up new records. In 1921 the Cana-
dian National Railways had an
operating deficit of $11,(00,000. In
1923 it was changed to a surplus
of $32,000,900. Our taxes have
been reduced by $25,000,000.
Government expenditure has
been lowered, effecting a saving of
$108,341,766 in 1925 as compared
with the last year under Meighen.
Our budget has been balanced.
Our dollar is worth a dollar, and
sometimes more, in all parts of
