TAKE CARE Or THE rnEEs.

When the Cotton manufacturers
were here last week they were greatly
impressed BY the beauty OF Richmond
ana its substantial in limos
every direction. They talked freely
and with enthusiasm TO John Al.
Miller. ce-l'rcsident OF the First
National Bank, and he has been good
enough to write a note to the editor
Of this newspaper ABOUT their obser-
Servations, saying:
Il recall the remarks OF Two OF
them in particular in reference to the
beauty and number OF shade trees.
One OF the gentlemen who travels a
great deal. says that never in his life
before mas he seen such evidence OF
tree planting as shown along our
streets and parks, and the suggestion
was made that the City OF Richmond
should pay close attention TO the pres
erVatlon OF these trees, both young
and old. to prevent destruction by
insects. pests. etc. Prevention OF such
trouble is. OF course. much easier and
more economical than cure. L do not
know Whit the policy OF system of
the city in this regard is. but L do
know the beauty of Richmond, Its
l'd fS duu trees are one or Its most
valuable assets
That is all true, and 1t is commended
10 the careful consideration of the au-
thorities. What Is needed here is tree
conservation, ana moro trees and ever
more and more trees. Ii one die, an
OTHER should be planted in Its place
Immediately. and those that we have
should not be trimmed 10 death when
ever the axe brigade gets busy in the
Spring time. 1t is the habit in many
of the so-calied 'progressive" cities
not TO allow trees to be planted in the
main business streets, and instead
miles of WING of all sorts and
colors are put UP TO Shield you'd
be customers and promenaders from
the rays OF the sun. Trees would look
far better tina these Mapping and
often torn and ragged and abominabiy

there are thousands OF trees OF nlnnt-

TIE BARRIERS AND THEIR rIrs

AT a mass meeting OF bosses and
iourneymen BARRIERS held in 81. Louis
on Sunday. a ban was placed on the
tipping habit. the meeting in ST. Louis
having acted upon the mandate it
had received from the officers OF the
International Union of J~ourneymen
BARRIERS of America, representing the
United states, Canada and Porto Rico.
This action was taken, IT is explained,
because of the complaints that have
been received from BARRIERS all over
the country OF a great falling off in
the number of customers brought
about by the use of the safety razor.
James G, Shannesy. General Organizer
OF the international Union, declared
to the meeting in ST. Louis that the
fault is among the BARRIERS themselves,
the custom OF tipping having become
so much abused in the profession that
men were driven to take care OF their
own chins. In the opinion OF this
wise man.. the man who does not tip
rs entitled TO Just as courteous and
ciicient service as The man who tips.
a clerk in n clothing store receives no
Zip for his service. Nowhere else is
tipping SO much abused al In tho
barber shop"
The men who get shaved. however,
ere really to blame for this custom.
Some OF them think It Is a big thing
TO give tips TO every ono who waits
on them II is done in all the fashion,
able resorts and hotels. and ice cream
parlors. and the largest tips are often
given by those who can least afford
TO give any. II is about the only
chance some persons have OF adverlis-
Ing themselves, but 81 IS gratifying

The agitation of Manager Shuster Of

formation of baseball league is being
favorably considered on this side Of the
line, and if plans materialize the people
on the circuit will see an article of the
great game the coming summer that
will make them sit up and take notice.
Manager Shuster's plan is to form a
league comprised of Moosejaw, Regina,
and Saskatoon, in Canada, and Valley
City, Fargo, Devils Lake, Bismarck
and Minot in North Dakota. The sal
airy limit would be placed at $500 and
a regular schedule would be arranged.
. A league Of this. kind would be an ex-
cellent thing for this section Of the
country and by paying good salaries
some excellent players could be secured.
The sentiment in Devils Lake is strong
for she league and it is hoped that Mr..
shuster's plan will work out in the de-
sired results, AS far as baseball in
Devils Lake is concerned the coming
year should be banner one as far as
enthusiasm is concerned. Already let
ters are being received from applicants
