Porto Ricans have contributed to the

each town to receive the funds, and
no contribution was to be over 10
cents. The people Of the island re-
sponded at once. To each Of the con-
tributors will be presented a certifi-
cate, and in this manner pictures Of
Mckinley. the White House and the
Mckinley home at Canton will adorn
thousands of homes in Porto Rico.

COULDN'T FIND PICNIC.
So George KIauer Didn't Get Chance
to Be Confirmed.

Ex-Chief of Police Frank StahI and
George ,Klauer are bosom friends. Stahl
has arrested Klauer repeatedly on the
charge of running a joint but that does
not mar their friendship one bit.
Thursday was the day for the an
nual prohibition gathering near Auburn
known as the Stahl picnic Stahl gave
Klauer a special invitation to attend
and be converted. Klauer accepted the
invitation in good faith and with Louis
Plan ondin. the circus performer who is
at his home on account Of poor health
he started for the picnic grounds early
Thursday morning. There was not a
drop Of anything, even ginger ale, in the
carriage. But Klauer could not md the
picnic. In fact it is very hard for any
one to find it. Klauer knew that the
place was about % miles southwest Of
Topeka and he headed that way. He
inquired and people sent him this way
and that. He did his best but missed
the picnic and Stahl missed him.
Klauer was forced to return to town,
muddy and disgruntled without having
heard the prohibition speeches and with
out having eaten any of the celebrated
brand Of Stahl's yellow legged fried
chickens. Klauer was told that the
people who directed him threw him off
the road on purpose as they thought he
would break up the meeting

THE COTTONWOOD TREES.
There Are the Good Kind and the
other Variety.
70 the Editor Of the State Journal.


To the Editor Of the State Journal.
In most every question that comes Up
for discussion or action. the moderate
course between two extremes is best.
The enemies of the cottonwood trees.
who want to Immediately exterminate
all Of them would do a rash thing. The
sentimental old settlers who want all OF
them preserved, would perpetuate an
unbearable nuisance. Better now de-
stroy only some Of them. Look at that
noble old tree near the south side Of the
state house 1t is not nuisance but q
thing Of great beauty. It is a male
tree and grows no seed. Let all of that
gender live where they are not erowding
better varieties. A good plan would be
to Immediately girdle all the seed pro
ducing cOttanwoOds. That can easily
and quickly be done, they can easily be
distinguished now; then cut them down
at leisure at any time in the future.
Some Of this class are near the city IL
brary-one on the south is .. prolific seed
producer.
The cottonwoods are not the only
nuisance. In the early days the settlers
wanted shade quickly. Trees were plant
ed close together that they might shade
one another. It was a common habit to
plant elms and cottonwOOds alternately,
that the cottonWoods could give shade
quickly; the intention being to cut out
the less desirable trees after a few
years OF growth. But the latter day
saints have neglected to do thin. It
should be done now. 1t would be
righteous act for the park commission
to go through town and girdle all the
useless trees-about two thirds of them
are worse than usless The permanent
trees should not be closer together than
35 feet or 80 at the most. Notice the
trees in the state house grounds. how
beautiful they are when they have room
to grow to their natural shape. Trim
off the lower limbs. 1t Is the tops of the
houses that need shade, hence the trees
should be made to grow tall Branches
low enough to hit an umbrella are a
nuisance and do no good for shade or
anything else.
While driving, notice how many use
less trees there are where they have
grown too close together. You can cas-
lily imagine how much more beautiful
and beneficial the good trees would be

ial Marshalship.
It IS now stated that President Roose-
Velt is thinking of settling two Kansas
problems by a single act-the appoint
ment Of Fred Willard as United States
marshal for the northern district OF the
Indian Territory, which would leave the
way clear for the reappointment Of d.
II. Anthony, jr., as postmaster at Leav-
enWorth, the Job in which Congressman
Curtis is trying TO land Mr.. willard
This action would square Curtis with
willard. 1t would be treating Burton
and Long alike regarding the marshall
ship, and it would allow the president
70 carry out his personal wishes with
regard to Anthony.
If this is not agreed upon by the KAN
sas politicians, the marshaiship may
not come to Kansas at all. When SEN
ator Burton turned and switched from
J. =. Tomlinson to H z. Richter be-
cause Tomhnson refused to become q
traitor to the instructions Of his home
county, ana when Congressman Long
stayed by Tomlinson, 1t compelled the
president to either turn them both down
or choose between them.

ALFALFA AND BACTERIA.

incubation and Air Stacked Lime as
"Starter' For Good Crops.
The Illinois agricultural experiment
station seems to have established some
conclusions from experiment and OBJ
servation about the influence of the nj
trogen gathering bacteria in growing
alfalfa that are of general interest.
Many farmers have tried to grow al
falfa in various sections of Illinois, but
in most cases it has been pronounced a
failure. Where alfalfa has been grown
with success it has usually been neces-
sary to sow it on very rich ground or to
keep it well MANFRED. And this expert
cnce is common not in Illinois alone,
but from Indiana, Ohio. Michigan,
Wisconsin and Iowa come reports of
similar experience. The Illinois station
explains it as follows:
Alfalfa bacteria are not usually pres
ent in Illinois soil, consequently the al
falfa is not able to obtain nitrogen
