TREES IN PLACE
AND OUT OF PLACE

Street trees should never be planted
to be ultimately less than forty feet
apart. Most of the better shade trees
are slow of growth. 1t is advisable
to plant quicker growing trees be-
tween them for immediate effect, to be
cut out later when they begin to crowd
each other.
Often when this time comes the
quick growing tree is so much larger
and finer looking that the owners
heart fails him and he compromises by
hacking the branches off all the row,
running them all and affording only
temporary relief. In a few years the
quicker growing varieties begin to die
and soon a straggly row of melancholy
cripples exists where might have been
noble specimens, good for generations
to come.
Trees should never be planted so as
to shade too densely building where
humans or animals abide. The sun
must reach every part of a dwelling
at least part of the day, or the doctor
will be a frequent visitor.
Trees must not be planted in the
center of a lawn. At the side-or the
rear is the place for them. A spreading
apple tree or two In the back yard is
good for shade and for fruit, If it is
sprayed to kill insects and fungous dis
eases.
If the house is too densely shaded,
use the axe ruthlessly and open up
place to admit air and light. If two
trees crowd each other select the best,
or the best located, and cut down the
other unless it is small enough to
move. Don't trim. Cut down. One
perfect tree is of more value than
yard full of crippled or stunted speci-
mems.

charge of having fired the shots with
intent to commit murder The quarrel,
in which Mrs. Walker nearly lost her
life, followed an evening of revelry in
Rock Island, and in which several
others were the principals. After re-
turning to Davenport late in the night,
the party adjourned to the Walker
house on East Fifth street, where the
merriment continued undated. The
dissension which resulted in Walker
drawing his revolver and firing two
shots, at his wife was of brief, duration
and the affair was over before those
nearby had become fully aware of what
had transpired. The police were called
as soon as possible and the man and
wife, Fay Deising and William John
son were brought to the station. The
last two named were booked on a
charge of vagrancy and will be held as
witnesses at Walkers trial which has
been set for Friday.
