MAST TREES FOR THE CROWN
Mark Of the Broad Arrow Wac
Placed on Pines In the Plymouth
Colony.

In the provincial charter OF 1891.
under which the Plymouth colony and
the province of Maine were united
with Massachusetts,. 1t was provided
that all trees of the diameter Of "a
Inches and upward of IL inches frc...
the ground. growing upon land not
heretofore granted to any private per-
son, should be reserved to the crown
for the furnishing of masts for the
royal navy. Harper's Weekly OBJ
serves.
A surveyor general of woods was ap-
pointed to see that this provision Of
the charter was carried into effect.
Near the coast all white pines of suit
able dimensions were marked with the
cbroad arrow"-three cuts through the
bark With an ak, like the track Of .
crow. This was the kings mark. ,
Long after the revolution had oblit-
Grated the royal authority men who
had been taught In boyhood to re-
spect the kings mark hesitated to cut
such trees.
In telling a tree 1t was necessary
to bed it" to prevent It's breaking.
This was done by cutting the small
growth and placing small trees across
the hollow, so that there should be
no strain upon one section more than
upon another when the monster pine
struck ground.
The mast was hauled out Of the
woods on one strong sled, whether in
winter or summer. and so many oxen
were required that the hind pair were
often choked In crossing hollow, be-
ing hung up in their yoke by the pull
Ing of those ahead of them.
A, mast hauling was a great event,
and everybody within walking dis
lance came to see 1t.

HOW TO ERADICATE
COMMON BURD0CK
BY r. j. Baldwin.

One of the rankest growing and
most disagreeable weeds In Michigan
is the common burdock (Arctium
minus). 1t is not a bad weed In cul-
tivated fields and usually disappears
from land on which a crop rotation
is practised. Uncultivated places. such
as old pastures, roadsides, fence cor
ners, orchards and cut over timber
lands are places which favor the
growth Of burdock, and in such
places they become very great null
sance where farm animals, especially
sheep, come In contact with the
burs. Simply because 1t is not q

MAY ELECT

Dates for the meeting of the new

set, but candidate for examiner, un-

an election for the choosing of sue
cessors of state officers who have
died since the election of 1910.

the friends of Hugh Gerner, former
assistant under Taylor, would undoubt-

JUDGE PARKER
LAID TO REST

Business in all lines stopped in vi
nita this afternoon, while a whole city
paid last homage to one of her most
beloved citizens, Judge Luman F. Par
ker, whose funeral occurred at the
family residence on North Foreman
street at 2:S0 o'clock.
Judge Parker died at st. Louis Tues
day night, following a sickness lasting
several years, during which time,
knowing death was inevitable, the
Judge prepared his affairs on this earth
for that bourne whence no traveller
returns.
No citizen of Vinita was more loved
and respected than was Judge Parker.
He came to Vinita several years ago
and welded the daughter of one of the
oldest families of the Cherokee coun-
try, Miss Hall. A short time
later he began the practice Of law and
from the very first was successful He
had an undying love for Vinita, which
in a large measure was reciprocated
by the citizens, who elected him
mayor, an office which he filled with
much dignity and credit. 1t was dur
ing his administration as mayor that
fba firct ctroof povopaent x.roe Lola IN
j Vinita. This improvement consisted
of the paving of the intersection be-
tween Wilson street and Illinois ave-
nue., where at that time an artesian
fountain adorned the center of the
street intersection. The building of
this fountain had also been the result
of the efforts of Mayor Parker.
A few years later he was appointed
associate justice of the federal court
for the northern district of Indian
Territory. Here again he made a rec
ord as an able and just officer and won
lasting place in the heart of every
member of the bar. During his term
as judge came the break in health and
ever since that time he has been a
sufferer from malady whose only end
is death. However, he remained cheer
full unto the end For a time he en-.
gagged in the practice of law in the
firm of Parker & Rider and later un.
der the firm name of Parker, Rider &
Brown. Continued ill health caused
the dissolution of this firm several
months ago, since which time the de
ceased had devoted his business ac-
tivities to the Parker-Wise Investment
company and the Farmers State bank
of which he was vice president, hay.
ing been elected to that office last Jan
uary.
During the years of his falling health
the judges love for Vinita increased
and there was never time, unless his
health prevented that he was doing
something for the civic improvement
of the city. To his efforts is due the
acquisition of the beautiful park just
east OF the Grand theatre, which was
named Parker Plaza, in his honor His
last gift to the city was the sanitary
drinking fountain at the corner Of
Illinois avenue and Wilson street.
Although the inevitable summons
has come to Judge Parker ana while
his body has been taken from oul
midst, yet will his spirit be with III
forever and whole city for genera
tions will cherish his memory.
A large number of out of town peo
pie came to attend the funeral. al
Judge Parker had wide acquaintanc
in Missouri, Kansas Texas and othe
. states.
