The school board has had a crew of
men at work this week planting elms
around the school house grounds, and
it is the intention to cut down the
boX-elders. These trees have grown
to nice size, but they have a scraggly,
ungainly appearance and it is thought
that the elms will prove more satisfac-
tory. When the grounds were first
laid out years ago cottonwoods were
planted and these gave way later to the
present trees, SO that it is logical to
suppose that the elms will get the axe
within a few years.
In another column We publish an ar
ticle handed us by Roadmaster Erwin
and sent to him by the Safety epart-
ment of the North Western road. 1t
relates to the t~respassing on railroad

thing that every parent should serious

number of boys playing about the rail-
road yards and some day there may be
an accident. The recent wreck neal
volga was caused by children playing
on the right-of-way, one Of them plac-
ing a heavy burr on the track, which
derailed the train.
