ruins Of the national bank, which
went into liquidation about a year
ago. and each has its president. H. w.
Wheeler. and cashier, E. r. Wheeler
David charges a deep-laid conspiracy
to loot the national bank, and Cor
that purpose. he says. the state bank
was organized, while the national bank
still mintained a corporate existence.
He cites many instances of transac-
tons, which, he says, were in further
ance of the conspiracy, the practice
OF the Wheelers being from time to
time to realize on the assets of the
national bank. deposit the money in
the state bank. and then borrow it
on their individual account from the
state bank, giving in return their own
paper unsecured. At present Receiver
David says the brothers are individ-
ually liable to the national bank as
follows:
II. w. Wheeler, s2.S67; Lee Wheeler
S2.301; L. H. Wheeler, S1,516; E. r.
Wheeler, $500.
During all the time the Wheelers
have drawn double and triple salaries

why Preserve the Trees9

An additional reason why America
should preserve her trees is being con-
tributed by scientists, who anticipate
that in the not far distant future the
great motive power of civilization will
be water, as related to gravitation and
electricity.
Trees are the greatest water Eifters.
The wise men tell us that an oak tree
of average size, with 700, 900 leaves,
lifts from the earth into the air about
1913 tons of water during the five
months it displays its foliage.
From the leaves the water is evapo-
rated and formed into clouds, which,
depositing their weight Of moisture,
ultimately supply the Niagara, capa-
bic of supplying large part of the
motive power of the country.
Trees are especially designed to
facilitate evaporation through the
moisture spread over their myriad
leaves. The new prospects as to COM
ing motive power offer a very potent
reason why they should be preserved
and cultivated
Spare the trees. The destruction o.
our remaining forest areas would be @
step toward economic suicide. = Boston
