SAVE THE STREET TREES.
Injurious Forms of Mutilation That
Should Be Prohibited.


Should Re Prohibited.
Trees. especially In large cities and
along roadways. are subject to many
forms Of mutilation. Horses are al
lowed to eat the bark and new wood
telephone and telegraph companies cut
away Unfortunately, and when side
walk or paving is to be laid the roots
are, hacked and cut away without any
regard for the tree,
In some Of our large progressive
cities clubs have been formed with the
ain of putting before the careless pub
lie ideas which will tend to put an end
to all needless cruelty. Small cities
and villages should heed this move
ment, as it Is much easier to accom-
Eplish results in small places than in
the larger and results are more notice
able.
An injurious method, which Is not
so noticeable and not so well known
to the inexperienced, is that Of improp-
er pruning. A tree is not only injured
by cutting off large branches, but
when it Is done so that large, ragged
stumps are left the injury Is incalcula
bic. Although it Is true that pruning
must be practiced to produce sym
'metrical shape, still the best rule Is te
prune as little as possible This exam
pie should be followed by rural com
lmunities to protect these trees. which
play such an important part In orna
menting and shading the principal

A GOOD BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

John q. Shedd makes very salts
factory business forecast With COOL
crops, he says, we should have good
volume of business in the fall. This
is the prediction of merchant based
on the conditions in his own business,
for Mr. Shedd expressly states that
he takes the trade of Marshall Field
& Co. as an index
His confidence is shared however
by business men generally and by
bankers. The latter, who have to
keep a sharp lookout, have a feeling
OF perfect security at the present
time. Chicago bankers declare that
the country is sound financially and
that there are no danger signels in
sight. The fall months will find the
country in excellent shape, and with
the safe start there should be inereas-
ed activity and large and profit
able trade.
AS regards the crops, it is now eyi
dent that early predictions were toe
pessimistic. Neither the spring fros
nor summer drought has caused as
much damage as the anxious propnS's
feared. There may still, of course
be change for the worse, but to an
ticipate Ii now is to hunt trouble
Judging by the experience Of tn
country from year 10 year we SHOULD
lie reasonably sure OF favorable
outcome this season. Record-Herald
