BEARDED YOUTHS;
BEARDLESS MEN
MARRIAGE CLERKS HAVE MANY
TROUBLES
AGE QUESTION Is PERPLEXING
Young Men Appear Well Along in
Years, and Guesses Are Often
Very Far From the
Mark
AGE QUESTION IS PERPLEXING

Because the young men of Los An
geles are following a recent fad and
wearing boards, and because the older
men, following a still more recent fad,
are shaving their faces, the clerks in
the marriage license department of the
county clerks office are having untold
troubles in issuing licenses.
The first question now put to a man
as he asks for a marriage license is
How old are your This rule has
been established after many valuable
certificate of marriage blanks have
been destroyed through the mistakes
in the Judgment of the clerks.
A recent case caused considerable
CONSERVATION in the clerks Office. A
well dressed ,man of apparently 30
years of age and with a clerical bear
ing entered and asked for a license.
The clerk started to fill out the required
document without ever a thought as
to the age of the man until he reached
the age question. II am 20 years old,'
said the applicant. But I have the
consent of both mother and father"
The clerk gazed in astonishment at the
heavily bearded prospective groom.
Several instances have occurred when
the clerks have had doubts as to the
age of a man and were astounded
when the applicant would produce
proof that he was about thirty years
old when he appeared to be under age.

The Chadwick Jewels.

Toledo, O., June Mime different
suits have been instituted by District
United States Attorney John ]. Sulli-
van for the purpose of forfeiting the
much discussed Chadwick collection of
jewels.
No defendants are named in person.
The petitions simply ask for authority
to forfeit and sell certain diamonds,
pearls and valuable laces alleged to
have been imported to this country by
Cassie L. Chadwick without payment
of duty. 1t is charged that Mrs. Chad
wick turned this property over to diff
ferent people throughout the country
as collateral for loans made by her.
These people insist that duty has been
paid and the court fight will be over
the question of payment of duty.

shot wound inflicted by his little eleven

said to the fourteen year old boy:

BLIND TIGERS


The mayor and city officials are
making it exceedingly warm for those
who sell, or attempt to sell, whiskey
in this city. AS an evidence of this
fact there will be two defendants to
face the charge in the police court this
morning. Both of the defendants are
colored women and they are charged
with selling a pint of whiskey each.
Both the defendants express surprise
at the charges which are against them
and say that it must evidently be spite

sold drop of whiskey in their lives.

TREES ON PRAIRIES.
Bureau of Forestry Doing Good Work
in This Direction Better
Methods in Use.

In the states of the middle west
there is pressing need of more trees.
both for wood and for windbreaks and
shelter belts. This need has been felt
since the prairies were first settled but
the attempts made to supply it have,
as a rule, fallen short of the benefits
which might have been secured The
early planting was done chiefly for the
sake of ornament or shade; the useful
ness of the species for wood was sell
dom considered. In many cases, also
trees were planted outside of the range
to which they were adapted. and on
soil and in locations unfavorable TO
them. On the other hand, many valu-
able species were neglected.
Experience has now furnished the
basis for better practice. Various kinds
Cf trees can be grown in these regions
which will serve just as well for pro-
lection and ornament as those which
have been most used and which at the
same time will furnish valuable wood
For several years the forest service
has been been investigating this sub
ject, says the Prairie Farmer. with re-
suits which are recognized throughout
the prairie region as of great practical
value. The work consists of field
studies of the existing forest growth,
10th natural and planted, of it's rela-
ton to soil and climatic conditions,
and of the effect of various cultural
methods.
In carrying on the work forest serv-
ice field parties examine and make
measurements of representative groves.
From these measurements volume and
yield tables are made which show the
returns in cordwood, posts, stakes and
lumber to be expected in a given time
for each of the species studied. In adj
dition to the measurements, the char
acteristics of growth and reproduction
of the trees are noted, and valuable
data on the natural distribution and adj
vsable planting range obtained.
The work in the eastern part of the
two Dakotas, western Minnesota, Hi
nois, eastern Nebraska and western
Kansas has been published. giving in
formation concerning the species most
suitable to the locality. and telling
now and where to plan them. Bulletins
CT the same character covering other
states are in preparation. This sum
mer Iowa was studied, and later other
states of the middle west, until the
whole region is covered. Considerable
tree planting has been done in some OF
these states, occasionally with com
plete success; but there have been
many total failures, and many at
tempts successful only in part. AS a
rule, the lack of success was due to
lack of knowledge how and what to
Plant But these plantations, whether
successful or not provide valuable OBJ
lect lessons in respect to future plant
