Trees.

Some years ago many of us were en-
thusiastic over the planting of trees
around the Boulevard. This plan origi-
mated in the Civic division of the
Womans club, and with the aid of
many of our leading citizens was sue
cessfully carried through Five hun
dred trees were planted. The Boule-
ward gave promise of becoming beau
tiful driveway, and the vision of the
two long lines of colonnades OF trees
glorious to behold was. in our minds
eye, only question of time.
The tree planted was the elm. As
it happens, this was the right tree
In an article that appeared in one
of the magazines, the advice given to
the people living in this section of the
country is;
IF you have room for but one tree,
let that be an elm. Its gracefulness
and length of years need no comment
| like to think of the elm as the ugly
duckling among trees, for its ungainly
growth in youth gives no promise of
its mature beauty.
"As a street tree it has no equal;
hut the street must be wide and the
tree not crowded.
The common American elm differs
according to location, and the rock
and water elms are one and the same
tree-on low, wet lands the wood is
soggy, while on dry land the wood is
dry and clear
After few years 1t became evident
that the trees of the Boulevard would
be taken better care of by the city
than by the ~ b, and finally all their
care and expens. were transferred to
local authorities and placed under the
protection of the park commissioners.
These trees are still in the ugly
duckling" stage. They need careful
trimming and mulching to help them
toward that mature beauty" sure to
come if rightly taken care of
Meanwhile, as a community we have
grown. A tree no longer means an
isolated tree, but its life, its purpose,
in streets, parks groups or forests
that rains, foods, droughts, famine,
depend upon either the presence or the
absence of tro in all countries where
they can grow-that even the atmos-
phere is influenced by them. These
determining causes have led finally to
the study of forestry in the United
States-a subject much better known
in Europe than with us. Many states
now have state forester. Iowa has
none but should have.
Next Tuesda evening q lecture will
be given at the Washington school by
Professor Beac' from Ames college,
Iowa. along the lines of forestry ex-
pertinent stations to be illustrated
with lantern slides. Please, everyone,
come and hear him, and help to Gre
ate an interest in trees.

Where He Got His Ideas.

For those who haye been merely
readers Of Civil war history, the task
OF arranging play similar to the
one which Mr.. Lock has devised for
presentation would have been task
of difficulty. Having seen service all
during the war, and connected with
many of the prominent history-making
deeds of that time, however, the au-
thor of the play successfully com
pleted his work about six weeks ago.
