Preservation Of City Trees.

The Twentieth Century club wants
the city to spend $4,000 a year on
caring for the shade trees in ou1
streets. The demand is modest one,
We have thousands of trees worth
$500 each or more, not to speak OF
the commoner ones of less value.
What manufacturer who had invest
ed hundreds of thousands of dollars
in plant would allow 1t to go to
wreck for lack Of few thousand dol.

that Is what we are doing with our
trees. We spend money freely in set
ting them out and then we leave
them to the mercy of insects and
other pests It would be far wiser tc
spend what money we can spare in
taking care Of the trees we have rath.
er than go on setting out more, know
ing that in few years they will in
all probability have succumbed to the
unnatural conditions in which they
are set. BY all means preserve our
trees. There is nothing which beauti
fies city more, nothing which, witt
a proper annual expenditure, yields 2
better return.-Detroit Journal

italian chauffeur. native of the town

an indemnity in each case my new

Mr. Labouchere spoke to a friend
about it. and the friend asked for a
description Of the chauffeur. When
Mr.. Labouchere had given it his friend
aughed.

ADvERTISING-G0OD AND BAD
Every Merchant Should Give Careful
Attention to This important Branch
of His Business.

It is pretty generally conceded that
no business that is growing can be
we'll run without organization and sys-
tenn. No man gets the full results out
of his business organization, or is
able to make his business system
work perfectly, unless he deputies
special duties to his employees special.
ly qualified to fulfill them, and gives
himself freedom to oversee the whole
and direct the main policies. But no
amount of organization or system is
sufficient. The most perfectly equip
ped piece of commercial machinery
will lie idle unless it has business.
The way to get business is to ad.
vertise
There is good advertising and bad
advertising-and advertising that is
best. There is no good cause in which
man or a company can waste more
money than in bad advertising, while
good advertising never fails to get
business for any firm, which has some
thing that people would really want if
they knew about it.
The practical advertising expert to-
day must not only have an artistic
sense of Illustration and type display
but he must have the newspaper mans
specially developed faculty. for seiz
ing features of news value and his gift
of tense, striking description. That
IS, the best advertising ideas come to-
day from the newspaper office.
No man Is a great power alone No
matter what his strength may be, that
strength Is doubled when he allies
himself with another man for - com.
mon purpose. When hundred men
combine, the strength is increased a
hundredfold. Ideas do not spring spon-
taneously out of nothing. They are
born of suggestion Ideas are like flint
and steel; they strike sparks from
each other. Men combined for a com.
mon purpose not only increase their
strength, but sharpen each others wits
and generate ideas in each other,
Many places of business as a whole,
says the Williamsport (Pa) Sun, are
not advertising as they should be, as
the stores deserve. in order to get the
best results. The merchant who does
not give as much time and attention to
the subject of advertising and sales
manship in disposing Of his goods as
he does to other departments of his
store, is truly lost in his efforts to
serve the buying public as well as in
successfully disposing Of his merchan-
disc.

NEWSPAPER ADS FOUND BEST
{. P. Lampkin Tells Publicity Men His
Experiences as Country
Merchant.

Newspaper advertising gets the best
results for the merchant, is the con-
victton of E. P. Lampkin. the we'll
known advertising man who addressed
the st. Louis Advertising Mems
League recently. His subject was "My
Experience as Country Merchant and
Advertiser" He said 1t had been his
experience, covering a period of 25
years, that sales were larger on Mon
day than on any other day excepting
Saturday. He said this was because
he patronized the advertising columns
of the newspapers on Sunday. He
strongly upheld honest advertising,
which. he said, was nothing more
than common sense advice.

TAR's BAD EFFECT ON TREES
Road surfaeing, So Common In This
Country and Europe, Shown to
Be Injurious.

The tarring of the roads has come
to be common practice In this coun-
try and in Europe, especially In the
neighborhood Of cities where the auto
mobile traffic has been heaviest. A
few years ago the French botanist, DR..
Gatin, made study of the trees along
the roadway in the Bois de Boulogne
in Paris to find whether the treatment
given the roads had any influence upon
the vegetation. This examination
brought out the fact that the trees
that had received the dust from such
roads were much affected; their
growth was stunted, the leaves small,
shriveled up, and became spotted. In
Investigations made subsequently he
tried to find out whether there were
not other effects upon more deep
lying parts, and gave special atten-
tion to the catalpa, or Indian bean"
as it is called in this country,
Comparing the twigs Of normal trees
with those Of affected trees, all hav-
ing been cut off on the 1st of July, he
found that those on the normal trees
were considerably larger at the base.
The reduction in the affected trees is
particularly confined to the woody lay
ers, as the bark is Of the same thick
ness on all the twigs, says q writer in
Harper's Weekly The wood cells are
much smaller, whereas the layers i'm
ed much more in the trees attacked by
tar dust. Specimens gathered in the
autumn showed more important differ
ences. In the normal trees the twigs
had the usual deposits Of reserve
starch, whereas in the trees grow.
ing along the tarred roads no starch
was present.
Other trees showed parallel effects.
Thus the black locust and the one-leaf
locust, whether collected in the early
GUNNER or in the autumn, showed un-
favorable effects upon the twigs and
with dust from the tarred roads. The
corky layers Of the bark developed ir
regularly, and the starch was less
abundant than normally. Finally, alb
normal cork formations appeared upon
the veins of the leaves of pe1argenium
and in the leaf stalks of sycamore and
chestnut trees.
These effects upon the growth of the
trees, and especially the inhibition Of
the starch formation, explain why it
is that the effects Of road tarring have
not been observed soon after the ap.
n1ication of the far The it1i11rio11s ef.
feet upon tree is cumulative. For
two or three seasons the tree can put
forth new shoots at the expense Of re
serve food Of previous years: but grad
ually the noxious tar dust brings about
the unfavorable symptoms. IF some
thing were to be introduced as sub
stitute for tarring, It would again be
several years before we could be quite
sure that it did not have an undesir-
able effect upon the vegetation of our
parks and roadsides.

By Ed. W. Smith.

~HICAGO, Sept. 13.-Tom Jones.
manager of Ad Wolgast, sees
little in sight to seriously
threaten the present standing of
the Cadillac gladiator
Indeed the champion is to have
some easy picking for the next six
ar eight months if he retains his
nhvsical condition and nothing fur
Their happens to him. Jones always
has his fingers crossed when he
sneaks about the future, because
the lightweight champion is re-
earded now as the most unlucky
man in the business.
Thomas Edward has canvassed
the situation pretty thoroughly. He
remained over in Los Angeles, de-
spite urgent calls from Cadillac for
his presence, to see the MandOt-
Rivers battle and figure out the
chance of Mandot against VOL
CAST
Bets Heavily on Mandot.
Also r. Edward had his eye on
the main chance by wagering $1,000
on the French boy against Rivers.
Outside of the affair at Reno over
two years ago, Jonesey has not
booked a loser of any consequence.
Hence he was feeling pretty good
when he left for Cadillac. He had
LOT of things to say about the
lightweight class outside of Packey

of the hgntweights fight Jones
