sturdy monarch Of the forest these
have an educating. refining influence

THE VALUE or TREES.
Protection From Sun and Wind and
aeautifisrs For Every Home.

Protection From Sun and Wind and
seautifisrs For Every Home.
The value Of trees on the farm, aside
from their use as lumber, fence posts
and fuel, Is rarely considered. They
furnish shade for live stock during the
sweltering heat Of the summer days.
They add TO the home comforts by
warding Off the suns ra-s In summer
and the cold blasts Of wi ter.
But what Is OF ecu; Importance,
they add to the beauty Of rural scene
that which nothing else can give 1t.
A landscape without tree included
is like an unfinished picture. 1t lacks
the natural beauty that catches the
eye. rests the mind and appeals to the
best IN q man.
Too many farmers overlook the vat
ue Of trees, especially from the artfs-
tic point Of view. This is financial
mistake. A farm well provided with
shade trees in pastures, around build
ings and along highways is worth
more as a home and will sell five times
where 1t would sell once ii without
trees. Not only will 1t sell quicker, but
at much higher price.
There is demand for beautiful coun.
try homes everywhere. Near cities this
demand is much greater than the sup
ply. City men are buying farms in In.
creasing numbers every year.
A real estate dealer who handles
hundreds OF thousands OF dollars
worth OF suburban property annually
SAYS: "When city man asks about q
farm the first question is, How are
the shade trees? 1t is almost impossi.
Bile to sell farm to city man II bare
of trees, and / will not list such farm
unless at very low price"
Plant trees along fences, highways,
In pastures and especially around build
ings. Plant the long livers-the elm.
red and white oak, chestnut, hickory.
walnut wild cherry, locust, catalpa
and hard maple. These trees will
stand as a monument to your good
sense long after you are dead, delight
and comfort to future generations.
For shelter belts the spruces, espe-
cially Norway and Colorado, are excel
lent evergreens. Deciduous trees, with
a row Of arbor vitaes planted along the
leeward side, come into use much soon
er than the spruces and are almost as
good. Plant evergreens In two rows
ten feet apart, with trees twenty feet
apart In the row and SO planted that q
tree In one row comes opposite point
In the other row midway between two
trees. Plant deciduous trees eight feet
apart and thin later as seems neces-
sary
II you have no shade trees at all,
plant quick growers, like the cotton
wood and Carolina poplar, wide enough
apart to allow the slow growing but
more hardy kinds to be planted be-
tween. Cut out the quick growers
when they begin to crowd the others
and allow the permanent trees to &C.

Several ottumwa Dealers In Trouble

Upon information fled by M. s.

ter In the employ Of Carrow's meat
market, was arrested and taken. be-

noon charged with obstructing and
hindering an officer in the performance

The new law provides that an in
spector shall lhave the right to procure
any article in the stock Of any jobber
or dealer | nthe state Of Iowa for in
spection purposes and that the dealer
must either give or sell the article to
the inspector, as he may see fit.
Mr.. Flynn asserts that he visited
the meat market yesterday afternoon
with the purpose OF procuring certain
samples. Neither Of the proprietors
were in. Mr.. Flynn resented his card
to Mr.. Lerche. he stated today and
requested cans Of different brands Of
baking powder Mr.. Lerche refused
to give them to him-neither would
he sell them The inspector then
went to Justice Melick's office and
filed information against Lerche.
Constable Criswell arrested Lerche
and took him before Justice Melink
where he was fined $40 and costs.

Subsequently, Mr.. Flynn procured
three cans of baking powders he

forth as the actual owner of all the
property that now stands in the name
of some seventy underlying corporal
ions Of the Standard System. Then,
when the government secured an or
der of court to dissolve the Standard
Oil company of Indiana, the managers
would smile cheerfully, comply. and
distribute to themselves, In lieu of
their cancelled holdings in the Stand
ard Oil Of New Jersey, the shares of
actual, bona fide owner of the whole
property that once was held by the
seventy subsidiary concerns. What
could be easier?
The government knows by exper-
fence how it is, and so proposed to in
terpose the receivership plan, if pos
s!ble, in order to assure that there

clearly as possible, to abstain from
violating the antitrust laws. and
meanwhile to cast about and make ar
rangeine nts for disposing Of the differ
ent producing units OF the property to
independent concerns plant here, a
concern there, and so on.
This is the scheme First there
arises the tremendous uncertainty
whether a court will listen to IT.; and
on this point the first case will I'M
qnestionably go to the highest court

But after this is the larger question,
whether when the plan is sustained
and receiver auctions off one by one
the units Of the great corporations

b. good and go to cutting each others
threats by competing and losing mon
ey when they could violate the law,
get together and make money? That is
the bottom of all trust organization

At this point, then, the evolution will
have completed It's circle, and come
back to the original gentlemen's agree

ducing units Of property do not yet to-

One more interesting question arises
How will the receiver compel the sew

Can a man compete with himself? II
he can, will he? Even if he is a re-
ceiver, named by a federal court, viii
