I TREES NEEDED ON ROADWAYS No Reason Why the United States i " “'8hould_Be Behind Europe In 5 . 7 Matter of Beautification. { One of the pleasant impressions b i which our soldiers brought back with them.from overseas was of miles of pountry _ roadways beautified . with magnificent’ trees. ‘In this country a shade tree by the roadside is so rare * as to cause comment. Once In a while during a trip of many miles one will come to.a place where some wise man of the past has set out in a row along the ;slde of - the road maples or oakh or elms. But an even commoner sight are the stretches where somebody has €nt down: the trees and left the. road- way bare and unsightly. Not infre- guently . telegraph vior telephone com- panies have gone backing: their way fhrough 4 stretch of fine old trees, It appears that a land owner resid- ing on any country road may cut down trees along hl&!lw?v or cord W and, plow the 1afd {8 the very of the road without Interference, and ¥ that the law has permitted him to #ét | out saplings in the ‘spring and get 25 } { cents each in reduction of taxes, Pub- e service corporations, it s stated, also have certain rights under the law which seem to work to the disadvan- tage of private citizens, seeking .to beautify the highway adjoining thelr property by planting valuable trees. The State Forestry .association: will submit a proposition to “its entire membership this fall by letter ballot, with a view to determining whether codification and revision of the state’s shade tree laws shall-be one of the objectives in the campaign for neces- i smary forestry legislation. The assocla- & tlon Is appealing for the support of ¥ all citizensInterested, This Is soniething which may well copmand our fayorable attention. The movement should'provide not only for 3 tge protection of such roadside trees a8 still exist, but should also make provision for the replacing of those al- ready destroyed.—Buffalo Express. BACKYARD ORCHARD AN ASSET Can Bevbopended Upon-to Pay Divi- dends of Pleasure and Health for Many Years. The orchard behind the village home has always heen an assef of great value. We: knew one once that had cherries, pears, plums and apples for the entire fruit season—early and late —and it yielded enormous dividends o Ppleasure and health for a full quarter of a century. A few frult trees may be grown with profit in the back yards of cities not 100 closely bullt. One exiSts in a near- by city, where ten years ago a wise husbandman planted frult trees in his back yard, and for ornfiment set out Japanese apricots and dwarf quinces in his front yard. From his trees he now has two crops, one of surpassing beau- ty during blossom time and an- other of .palatable and healthful: fruit later. There are also berries on his lot In anbundance, and a wild goose plum ‘tree that - carries -prodigious crops. > It may be stated as a fact that no man ever planted frult trees who did rot thereby become a benefactor. There is.room for -thousands of them fo the rear of Omaha homes.—Omaha Bee, E i Roads of Remembrance. + The {rees plaited at the technical high school wgrg [n honor of former ' pupils in the sgl'v!cg_nnJ not: for the dead.

No more beautiful way of paying tribute to the boys_who went to war could be devised than. the planting of trees, and it is-an under- taking to be encouraged." Memory ‘- trees, singly or In groups, -or, along “roads of remembrance” will be known for what they are quite as well as a carved. monument and,K may be far more beautiful.—Indianapolis Star. ; Vacant-Lot Qardens. _ According to C. O. Davis of the Mil- waukee garden commission, more than it 1,000 vacant lots are now under cultl-. 8 Lok vation. One’ of the benefits of the ‘planting of gardens. is that 1t stops people from using the vacant lots as dumping grounds for their -garbage 2 : and_ rubbish. The heaps of refuse ¢ often form breeding places for files : and . mosquitoes. 3 Yet greater benefits are realized in the profits derived from the garden produce, and the healthful exercise gained In caring for the tracts. ¢ | tian king.

Its upper jaw has a long beak or ram; by means of which it can plerce not only fish but the sides of timber-bullt ships. Even the plants have forestalled human . inventions. Nearly everybody perhaps ‘has won- dered why ~the’ stems -of nearly all plants and the trunks and branches of trees are round instead of any other shape. The ‘existence of tall plants and trees depends largely on the wind. force.. And a tree with a,square trunk and branches would ofter so much re- sistance to the wind that it would-he continually having- its branches snapped.

The oldest work of fiction extant s thought to he “The Tale of Two Broth: ers,” written 3,200 years ago by the Theban scribe Enana, librarian of the palace of King Menepthah, -the sfip- posed Pharaoh of the Exodus. The tale, it appears, was written for the entertainment of "the;! crown prince, who' subsequently reigned .as Set II.

EREHEE KKK KE KKK KK X * CLEARBROOK * T e e S ] A large number of Clearbrook peo- ple attended the Indian fair at the Red Lake Agency last Tuesday, which was. designated.-as. “Bemidji Day,” but failed 'to materialize be- cause Bemidji failed to show up.

The exhibits as a Whole were fine. g N ‘Wednesday was -Gonvick day at the Red Lake Indian fair. A good sized bunch of baosters from there took it in and played the Red Lake base ball team. Gonvick had the best of the Red Lakers until the last-half of the eighth inning when the Red Lakers under a splurt of super play- ing and heavy batting tied Gonvick six to -six. In tue last half of the ninth inning Gonvick quit the dia- feiting the game to their opponents. Arthur C.
