A BUST OF BYRON ROBINSON

The students and pupils of Byron
Robinson are subscribing a fund for
the purpose of having executed a
bronze bust of their distinguished
master and teacher. The undertake
ing is purely voluntary and spon-
taneous one, designed to serve as an
expression of the high esteem in which
DR.. Robinson is held and as tribute
to the far-reaching value of his contri-
buttons to medical science. Although
primarily a project OF students and
pupils, there will doubtless be many
other admirers Of Byron Robinson and
his work who will take the opportunity
of participating in this mode Of doing
honor to his person and achievements
The amount Of the subscription, how
ever, will be kept within modest
limit so as to ensure thorough demo-
cracy of spirit in the affair; the limit,
we understand, Is between Is cents
and S25. The chairman and treasurer
of the fund is DIR. Benjamin Fl. Orn.

AND THE COAL MAN WEARS
A PLEASANT SMILE

The good natured goldman, and his
worthy assistants, with grimy hands
and faces and coal stained apparel.
were every where in evidence this
morning working like Trojans.
Throughout the long hot. sultry
summer days, so abruptly brought to
close by the cool refreshing showers
that visited this section Saturday
night and all day Sunday, the coal
man has been alternating, so to speak,
but the rains, followed by breath of
Boreas, awakened him from his let
hargy into renewed life and activity
His doughty rival, the iceman, who
reigned supreme during the hot sum-
mer months. has been quickly rele-
gated to the rear, and the goldman
again come into his own.
The sudden drop in the temperature
from sweltering summers heat to
winters freezing cold. necessitated a
hurried call for artificial heat to take
the chill off the air. Empty coal bins,
whose very existance was almost for
gotten, are to be hastily replenished,
and the coal man and his worthy help
ers. are now busily engaged from
early morn to late at night, dispens-
ing their wares to rich and poor alike.
The heavy rumble of the coal cart
and the rattle and bang of the coal
as it glides down the long metal chute
into the bin below. is borne to our
ears even here in the seclusicn Of the
Office.
Verify this is the coalman's day,
and he has again come into his own.
From now on until the first of May
he will be much sought for individ-
ual; and his dusky wares, the trans
muted sunshine of primordial days,
greatly In demand.

TREE PLANTING EXPERT
MENT IN LAKE STATES

In no section of the country is the
problem of reforesting denuded lands
likely to be given more serious con-
sideration in the future than in the
Lake States, where so much of the
land has already been made bare by
waSteful numbering and forest fires.
That we'll directed planting is sure to
do much for this region is proven by
many VINO have already had success
in the work.
One of the interesting accounts Of
recent experiments in planting forest
trees has just been given by cores
ponGent of the United States Forest
Service living in Lac Qui Parle County
Minnesota. This planting was done
with the principal object in view of
establishing shelter belts for the pro-
lection of farm buildings and stock,
and the results will doubtless interest
many farmers of the northern prairie
region.
" first planting was zone in Apr J,
., and consisted of two forest plan
G"..OnS, one of five acres and one Of
one and one-half acres. Both Of these
plantations are located on level. deep,
upland soil. The first comprises an
equal m'Xture of green ash and white
elm planted III rows six feet apart
with the trees four feet apart in the
rows. One-yeaT-old nurSery-grown
seedlings, Is inches high, were used.
The smaller plantation was of western
yellow pine planted in rows 10 feet
apart with the trees eight feet apart
in the rows. Young trans planted
trees of foot or more in height were
used Thorough and careful cultiva-
zion has been given both plantations
with a Small-Shoyeled, one-horse cult
vator. There have been no losses at
all in the ash and elm plantation and
the trees now average about six feet
high. The stand of pine is 9S per cent
perfect and the trees average about y
inches high. 1t is likely that the
spacing of the time plantation will be
found too wide for the best develop
ment of the pines, and considerably
closer spacing is generally advisable.
In April, 1908. near the same loca.
tiou two acres were planted with jack
pine. The stock was three-year-old
trans planted trees grown on the farm
by the owner. They were planted six
feet apart each way. At the sams
time four acres Of black walnut and
box elder were planted in mixture, al
sernating the trees IN rows six feet
apart each way. 1t is the intention
of the owner to remove the box elder
trees as soon as crowding begins, Sc

PARCELS POST
Demand for it Selfish---WouId
increase Postal Deficit, Des-
troy Values and lnjure Citi-
1ane

By H. NJ Bushnell of the Lincoln tNeb.)
Trade Review.
The postofice department was es-
tablished for the purpose Of safe and
speedy transmission Of cOmmuni-
cations between the people. To make
the postal service freight carrying
proposition is to depart from the
spirit purpose OF this branch of COVER
ment. The demand fer extension of
parcel post comes from special inter
ests and not from the people. The
demand comes from the mail order
house Of the large cities and first
found voice through John Wana-
maker, himself the head Of gigantic
mail order propositions IN two cities.
1t is now and always has been a sell
fish demand on the part of selfish in
terests for special legislation. 1t is a
demand for the direct benefit of the
tens against the direct interests of
thousands. When voiced by repre-
sentatives Of the government it is a de-
mand along theoretical lines. along the
lines of expanding government function
the enlargement OF paternalism and
the destruction of individualism.
Today the record of the committees
of congress will show petition ten to
one against this legislation, and yet
it is urged on by those in authority.
The people as whole are not asking
the legislation, but are overwhelming
| ly against it. Directly the demand
for parcels post legislation is self iD.
tereSt demand; directly the opposition
to parcels post is one of self protection
Indirectly the demand comes from a
government department anxious to ex'
pand that department to more gigantic
proportions; indirectly the opposition
| to the proposed legislation comes from
every thinking man who grasps the
spirit Of this government and the in.
herent elements which differentiate
this people and nation from other
people and nations.
