CoNQUERING THE WASTE SAND
European Countries Solving Great
Problem by Planting Vast Areas
With Trees.

Europe is conquering the waste land
problem by planting trees. Every year
thousands of acres of land are being
reclaimed in this way by the leading
countries and put In condition
preparatory to profitable timber har
vest in the years to come.
Not only many previously forested
areas which have been cut over have
been planted up, but a number of the
countries are also devoting their ener-
g1es to establishing forest cover on
dunes and other waste lands, and. in
fact, on all land which Is more valu-
able for producing timber than for
other purposes.
France has been one of the foremost
European countries in reforestatioD,
especially in the mountains, whore
planting has been powerful factor in
controlling torrents and regulating
stream flow. The state each year buys
uncultivated lands, in the mountain
regions, and up to January, 1907, it
had acquired $4,000 acres In this way.
Communes, associations and private
individuals are also assisted in re-
forestation work by grants of money
and by supplies of plants and seeds
Altogether $4,000 acres have been
planted through this public assistance
Complete exemption from taxation for
long period of years is granted in
the case of plantations made on the
tops of slopes of mountains. reduc

Sanders.
YARDS DISMISSED
Sanders Let Them Out Because They
Dlsoheyed Orders and Attended
Encampment at
Iowa City.

AS Keokuk is trying to secure
company of national guards an Incl
dent relative to Fort Madisons Co. A
bath Iowa, promises to be followed
here with almost equal interest as
over the state. The matter has been
! brought before proper state Officials
| for investigation, and is the alleged
dismissal of three members of that
company from guardship at the pris-
on because they attended camp at
Iowa City this year after having been
given to understand by Tarden San
! ders that should they attend they
could expect discharge. Following are
the circumstances Of the case as re-
| ported:
/ In June the adjutant general of the
state issued an order for the annual
encampment of the 54th Regiment, J..
NJ G. at Iowa City, commencing July
! is and continuing for ten days Com
pany A. located at Fort Madison,
obeyed this order, but when 1t reach
ed the encampment it was found that
it numbered less than the required
quota, some of the members being I'M
able to attend. Among these were
three guards, Fred Werner, James
Hayes and William Sweeney, at the
| Iowa state prison When they applied
! for leave to attend, the waSden Sefus.
ed to grant them leave and told them
he would discharge them If they
went. Finding that the company was
short in its number, its captain, after
reaching Iowa City, notified the non
Ipresent members that their presence
was required at Iowa City to bring
/ company camp muster to the desired
| standing. Under these circumstances
4 these three men reported at Iowa
i CITY. together with several ether
1 members of the company welo obeyed
this order. Upon their return and at
i tempt to enter the prison to report
for work. they were told to report tc
the wardens office. On doing sc
they were given their time.
The laws of several states make II
an offense for an employer to al
charge man for performing his du
ties as member of the Natlona
Guard. The state of Iowa, however
has no such law, but it would seem
peculiar thing for an officer of the
state to. discharge employees OF
state institution for obeying orders
issued by the military department o.
the state, and for performing then
duty as members of the natDna
guard of the state, especially in view
of the fact that the governor of thf
state is commander-in-chief of the ma
tional guard. This is probably The
first incident of the kind in Iowa.
The matter has been reported t.
the adjutant general. who will doubt
less take it up with the board o
control or other proper state officials

So Declared Governor Carroll Yester-
day at Dcs Moines In Discussing
the Iowa Dairy
Question.
NEWBERRY DIsAGREEs
Declares That More stringent Laws
are Required In Order to Raise
the Standard of
Iowa.

Increased interest on the part of the
farmer is more needed than addition
al legislation to promote dairy inter
ests in Iowa was the declaration made
by Governor B. F. Carroll in an adj
dress delivered at the Iowa Dairy
association rally yesterday afternoon.
The governors remarks were consid-
erably different from those of State
Senator B. w. Newberry of Strawber-
ry Point, who followed the governor
on the program. The senator advo-
Gated the Strengthening of many OF
the laws. declaring that such action
was greatly needed.
The governor qualified his remarks
somewhat by saying: Possibly we
need some legislation with regard to
the dairying interests. ! do not say
we do not, but what we need more is
interest in dairying"

SHOOT THE HAT"
IT'S SEPT. FIRST
That Day Has Passed and straws
Should Be Discarded as No Ex-
tension of Time is Given.

The first of September marks the
hats. The we'll dressed citizen who
trails the sartorial code would just
as soon be found barefooted as wear
ing his straw hat today. There are
plenty of others who are not SO par
ticular but it is an unwritten law that
the bizarre lid of straw that has
perched so jauntily on the locks of
the male population should be showed
into the discard and the latest crea.
tions of felt and fur and derby be sub
stituted.
Last season it will be remembered
that the weather was as hot on the
first of Selxember as on the Fourth
of July, and the mayors Of many OF
the cities issued proclamations pro
longing the straw hat season until
September 81. This year, however,
September has arrived in a decorous
and a proper manner with lowered
temperature and the straw hat has
little or no excuse to survive the
prescribed date.
The haberdashers are displaying in
tempting array the fall styles of head
gear, and those who have the price
or the good will of the proprietors OF
such places have invested. Others
are holding off until perhaps the frs
frost. However, mans hat is his
own business, and If there are citi
zens who desire to wear their straw
lids until Christmas, they are privi
legged to do so.

How long your light summer clothes
last depends not on how much they are
worn, but on how often they are washed.
That is, if they are washed in the old-fash-
toned way.
If they are washed with Fels-Naptha
in cold or lukewarm water, the washing
won't harm them bit
Boiling hurts any clothes, but it is par
ticularly hard on light stufs, such as sheer
linens, lawns, laces and muslins-rots the
fabric SO they will tear easily. And hard
rubbing on the dashboard wears them out
and trays them.
You avoid this by washing the
Fels-Naptha way in cold or lukewarm
water. Boiling and hard-rubbing arc I'M
necessary, because Fels-Naptha dissokes the
dirt into tiny particles which are sent flying
by light rubbing and thorough rinsing.
Then, too, the clothes are cleaner,
whittier and sweeter, as we'll as longer-wear-

CLASH OVER
PARK MONEY

Issue seems to be joining between
the Board of Supervisors and the Ho-
nolulu Park Commission over the do
nation of $500 from the municipal
treasury for Kapiolani park.
1t comes from the rider to the item
in the appropriation bill. reading, ITO
be expended under the direction OF
the Board of Supervisors" This was
inserted at the request of Chairman
Quinn of the road committee, who con.
tended that Park superintendent Young
should expend money on the park
roads which he is putting into certain
other park Improvement work.
Last night letter was received by
the Board from Henry E. Cooper ask
ing, on behalf of the Commission, for
a statement of how the Board of Sup
ervisors construed the condition at
tached to the donation. On motion of
Supervisor Quinn the letter was re-
ferred to the road committee.
This donation is all the financial
support the Commission receives, the
Territory aiding it otherwise with pri-
! son labor.
1T was decided long ago." Judge
Cooper said in talking about the mat
ter, that the belt road through the
park Was part of the common road
system, and its upkeep therefore not a
part of the work OF the Park Commits
sion 1t is strictly a county matter,
and the Commission should not xe-
pend any park money on that road"
