To Protect Trees From Live Wires.

TO Protect frees from Live WHITES.
Injuries TO street trees by wires are
many. Often dead wires attached to
trees come in contact with live ones,
and all show exasperating powers
Of destruction. There is little ex-
cuse for the attaching Of any wire to
a tree, yet the very unsightly anchor
poles and wires lead many property
owners TO consent TO the use Of large
street or garden trees as anchors.
Where this is done blocks Of wood
should be placed between the wire and
the trees so that the wire will not cut
the living wood and will have non
conductor to protect It against injury
through the contact Of live wires with
guy wires.

The Current River Valley
"A Pieturesqgu .
Country.

With practically every hill in
the Ozark region sending forth
volumes Of water from its thous.
ands Of fresh springs, and espec.
tally that part Of the Ozark ups
lifting along the Current River,
the eyes Of the State have been
turned in that direction as q re-
suit Of the trip which Gov. Had
ley and, his exploitation party
concluded some time ago.
The Ozark region is famous for
its large supply of fresh spring
water, and those springs feeding
the Current River probably sur
pass any others. within the state
and equal any in the country.
Itwould be . hard thing to indi.
cate the number Of spsings along
the river. II likewise would BE-
difficult 10 determine the number
of caves which, with the springs,
constitute the main beauty Of the
ozarks. extending from Montauk
Springs, In southwestern Dsnl
county, the source Of Current
River. to where IL flows ints the
Black River, In Arkansas, about
10 miles from the Missouri bor.
der.
Nor would IL be easier to say
whether there are more springs
than caves. But one thing is q
certainty, and that is that q com-
biastion Of the two make the
country destined 10 popularity
with Q large part Of the popula-
Hon Of 81. Louis that cannot af-
ford to 60 TO more distant fresh
wster rescrts, but places which
at the same time do not possess
the same beauty and supply that
is available right ct the door Of
st. Louis.
Because Of dsnsmiting along
the river, there has been q large
destruction OF fish that at one
time filled the stream. Even to-
day the fish can be seen In the
water to . depth Of from four TO
dix feet. But, Gov. Hadlsy has
declared the stream Ia to. be re-
stocked and more attention paid
to those who violate the law BY
