PALISADES GOLDEN OAKS.
Perpetuation of Old European Gus
tom Marking An Event.

The legend of the golden oak is
one of the old customs Of France
and Germany, associated with great
national events of those countries.
Whenever any great event took place,
such as the one hundredth anniver-
sary of some institution or occur
renee, a golden oak was planted to
commemorate it. 1t was a work of
sentiment perpetuated through very
beautiful tree, and the custom still
maintains in some section of Eu-
rope.
The golden oak is something like
the ordinary pin oak, except that its
leaves are a rich yellow or golden,
and are considered the rarest of all
the oak tree family.
In appropriate suggestion of an
event of some Importance to Pals
ade, Mr. Charles T. Logan has planted
two golden oaks to commemorate
the fourth anniversary of Palisade,
April II, 90.

MATCH FACTS.

joan Walker, an English chemist,
was xperimenting in 1927 with an in
fiammable mixture for use on ship
board
One day Mr.. Walker happened to
rub stick dipped in this mixture
across table There was a report,
the stick took fire, and, because John
Walker was no fool, the match was
born.
John Walker, the match IS inventor,
put his wonderful invention on the
market in April, 1927. The Walker
match was as big as leadpencil and
it cost shilling box. Because it
could only be lighted by drawing it
through a piece of sand-paper folded
in two, the Holden match supplanted
it is 1888. The Holden was lucifer;
it ignited more easily than the Walker;
so it put the Walker out of business.
sweden is today the home Of the
match industry. Sweden exports an
nually two billion boxes of incompar-
able matches
But there is no statue to John
Walker.

ALLIANCES FOR PEACE.

Mr.. Carnegie viii find plenty of sym
pathy for his desire TO organize a
league of peace among the nations of
the world, but he has vet to point the
way to the realization Of his dream.
It is perfectly clear that if the United
States and several others of the great
powers could be brought to the point
Of mutually abandoning all ambitions
that are likely to bring them into CON
fiict with one another, and TO form
league for the forcible imposition or
arbitration upon the rest. OF the world,
we should have international peace OF
a sort. But the premises call fer so
many things that are at present i'm
practicable that Mr. Carnegie cannot
justly complain if his aspirations are
still regarded as an iridescent dream.
