WILL PROTECT
SHADE TREES
Commission to Prevent Tack
ing Up of Signs.

Action to prevent the destruction
of shade trees about the city is be-
ing taken by the Shade Tree Com
mission and to that end 1t will pre-
vent further lacking Of signs of any
description on trees. That form of
advertising must cease, the commits
sioners contend, and If in the future
persons are arrested the board will
see to it that the cases are pushed to
the limit.
Many advertisers use trees and
poles to support signs of wood, pa
per and other material. Hereafter
the commission will allow no nails
to be driven in shade trees on pub
lie property, neither must signs OF
any description be placed on them,
The commissioners will ask the po-
lice to cooperate with them to the
end Of taking good care Of shade
trees.

FREDDIE GOES

Ais skeegy and the goose hangs

don't they ft-eh?) Miss Henry is
a dandy actress anyway, so 1 sup

The real hit of the bill as far as
Freddie Is concerned, is Fletcher
Norton and Audrey Maple. Miss
Maple is a beautiful blonde lady and
say, her dresses are stunning and
she wears three beauties. I'd hate
to pay the bill. Mr.. Norton is a
mighty swell looking fellow, too,
But I wish you'd hear them sing
well, words fail me-, and that's go
ing some. Their first song, 'Toddle
Along" is a new n and some class
to it. Mr.. Norton's solo, Beautiful
Love-" is fine, although 1 amt much
stuck on love songs. Then MISC I'D

Hunnewell, Kan.-The first meeting
of the city council of Hunnewell under
the new suffragist administration was
held Tuesday evening, Mrs. Ella Will

After the old council had disposed of
unfinished business, the new members
organized and the mayoress proceeded
to deliver an informal inaugural ad-
dress.
She pointed out conditions in Hume
well that needed rectifying and ex-
planned the hope that her associates in
the council would cooperate with hel
in seeking to improve the standard Of
morals by reforming certain abuses.
Mrs. Wilson's remarks were under.
stood to be directed especially toward
the pool halls, which Mrs. Wilson be-
lieves exert corrupting influence up
on young men. She wants to put the
institutions out of business with a
high license tax.
Mrs. Wilson said she would appoint
Mrs. Rosa Osborne, defeated candidate
for police judge, to the Office of chief
of police. Mrs. Osborne, it is under
stood, has agreed to accept that office,
provided she is given an assistant.
The councilmen have not shown
much warmth toward some of Mrs.
Wilson's plans.
One councilman went so far as to
say that the council would not support
Mrs. Wilson's appointments and that
there would be no license for the pool
halls.

BARS UP IN ASIA MINOR.
Russia Opposes American Railroad
Interests In Country.

st. Petersburg-That Russia is op-
posed to American railway projects in
Asia Minor is for the first time Off
cially acknowledged in an interview
which the editor of the Novoe Vremya
has had with the acting minister of
foreign affairs, M. Neratoff.
The minister said Russia regarded
the recent acquisition of railroad
outlet at Alexandretta by Germany
with indifference, as Alexandretta is
outside the direct sphere of Russian
interests.
On being asked why Russia, accord
ing to reports, had interviewed and in
sisted that Turkey reject the Ameri-
can railroad project of securing an
outlet at Mersina, the minister replied
that the American proposals intro
duced into Asia Minor an entirely new
element, which not only considerably
complicated the railroad problem, but
