Tree PLANTING IN !.
ONE Ohio VILLAGE
How Citizens OVGTCame Diff
CuItieS In Hudson.
TOTAL COST VERY SMALL.

Town Might Well Be Called Elm City,
Not Until This Spring That a GEN.
eral Movement Started to Improve
Vacant Streets and Bare Places, but
Work Went With a Rush.
The village of Hudson, o.. might
well be called Elm City. Some sixty
years ago, under the inspiration of the
president and professors of the col
lege then located there. the citizens
set more than mile of the streets, on
both sides, with young elms eight to
ten feet high and about fifty feet
apart Those little elms now arch and
span and meet at the top giving splen-
did shaded drives.
Since then until this spring little
tree planting was done except here
and there by enterprising citizens as
individuals. chiefly along their own
frontages. This spring, however, a
. general movement started, says w. L.
Chamberlain in the National Stock
man and Farmer, and tree com
mittee" of fifteen was appointed by
the village mayor and asked to fill in
single vacancies and the vacant streets
to the corporation line in all directions
The village funds were low. and so all
property owners were asked by the
committee to "chip in and pay actual
cost of all trees set along their front
ages (seven and q half feet from tht
fence line to give room for sidewalk
at a cost not to exceed 81 per tree
Most of the property owners cheerfully

The supreme court decision of the
Minnesota rate case is generally dis
because it does not make
clear the control of rates. There may
stin be endless controversies between
the state and the federal governments
The states are still allowed to make
such rates as they see fit, provided
they do not confscate the property,
and the federal government is to say
whether any rates are confseatory. The
object of the states in making the
rates is to favor the distribution of
merchandise from their larger cities
This decision does not check this prac-
tiee and so we shall have eontinu-
ance of conflict between the state and
lack Of uniformity in rates. The
iealously of the states over centraliz-
ing authority in the federal govern
ment is, in the matter of railroad rate
making, a source of much unsettle-
ment of railroad rates and manage
ment.

How and when did the song :" John
Brown 5 Body originate?
The tune of this song is thought to
be an old Methodist air. The words
appear to have been formulated more
by chance than otherwise one evening
in May, 1861 by a company of re
cruits quartered at Fort Warren, Bos-
ton harbor. No thought of John
Brown of Ossawatomie inspired them.
The boys had been singing words
adapted to the air-something like
when My Poor Body Lies a Moulder-
in in the Grave, Etc with the
Glory, Glory Hallelujah chorus.
Among the recruits was one of whom
the rest were constantly making fun
His name was John Brown and some
one struck up John Brown 5 Body
Lies a Moulderinng, Etc This yer
sion made an instant hit and this, il
is claimed was the way in which this
song was originated.

OUR QUESTION BOX

Small red ants are destroying my
lawn. Can you suggest some method
of getting rid of them?
An expert suggests pouring a little
kerosene oil on the hills, being careful
not to get much of it on the grass.
incidentally he says that the lawn is
not well nourished or the soil suitable
if there are red ants.

FULFILLMENT.

Lined up against defeat and tears,
One little day of hope deferred.
Seems like a thousand years
But with the goal onswinging into

What though the hours wax late,
And all around the waning light,
Once ours the thing for which we wait,
A thousand years is as a dream at
night.
