did II happen that they were planted
These questions. Of interest to pres

Elms" appeared as follows:
Editor Times Republican: 1t was
something longer than two decades ago
that the citizens of Marshalltown were
discussing the utility OF setting youns
shade trees on the public square. Ed
Chaplin was then street commissioner
and he agreed to furnish the youns
trees il the citizens would set them
out.
"Chapin went over Into the Iowa
river bottom and dug up the small
trees and brought them over. according
to agreement.
The young trees lay on the public
square one day without being set out
and were likely to spoil. Chaplin said
he had performed his part, and If they
were not set they miSht go TO bllsium

Uncle DAVIS tree history. This
communication follows:
"Editcr Times Republican. I noticed

Among others was that ~ the tree
planting and the kind Of trees that
should be set out to beautify tho city.
Reverend DeLoss advocated the sugar
maple; 50 did Mr.. Abel. ! insisted
that the water, or hickory elm. the
ornamental tree Of New England. was
the best. most graceful. and longest
lived. Others advocated the soft silver
maple, box elder and various other
kinds.
THE discussion was quite an AMI
mated one, and the society failed to
agree o, the kind. and by vote the day
was picked for procuring tbs trees. and
each one was 10 bring those OF his Sc

ESTATE
FUTURE GOOD
IN DISTRICT
Declares One Who Has Looked
ever the District of Column
bia Carefully.

A prominent citizen Of Clarksburg
who recently visited Washington, has
the following to say:
My advice to all fortunate hold
ers of lots within the District of CO.
lumbia, is to hold onto them and II
possible, all of them. My source of
reasoning is as follows:
THE District OF Columbia is six
by ten miles. which makes sixty
square miles; six hundred and forty
acres, in one. square mile would make
thirty-eight thousand four hundred
acres in the entire district. From
this we take the acreage owned by
various institutions. The federal
government owns about sixty per
cent of the entire district, or about
nineteen thousand acres, and no
Congress has eeva rdiourned without
buying more land in the district.
Churches, schools, hospitals, ho-
tells, theaters, Potomac river, bust
ness houses, mansions and embas-
sizes own about twenty per cent OF
about eight thousand acres for prt-
vate homes.
Washington now has about 400,-
600 population and allowing four
persons to a family would take up
this building space about S.400 acres,
which leaves only about $500 acres
vacant, or allowing twelve lots to
the acre leaves only $4,000 lots va
cant, and of these over 10000 have
already been sold to investors, leav-
ing only about 1900 lots than can
be had at first price.
1.-The population is increasing at
the rate of about fifteen thousand a
year and in a few years it is obvious
what will become Of the few remain
ing lots in the district, supply and
demand will have met and prices will
go up very rapidly, SO my advice as
see 1t, is hold all you have and get
all you can.
"I have often been in Washington
but knew very little Of this city, OF
beauty, until had the pleasure of
motoring over the entire district and
observed the beautiful parks, speed
ways, boulevards, etc. The real
beaut yof Washington does not lay
around the capitol. but out in the
suburban parks When the improve
ments are made and the great park
system is completed we can all feel
proud that "oURS" is the most
beautiful in the world"

The statement shows that 2,019,73c
tons were shipped during the month

BANK IMPROVEMENT
INTERFERES WITH TRAVEL

F. c. Hibbs, of Columbus, who has the
contract for installing the new waste
weir in the west bank of the reservoir at
the mouth of Beaver began work on the
improvement this week and incidentally
closed traffic once more on the Bank
road. For the past three years the bank
road has been closed to traffic for sever
al months during the fall and it looks as
though the road will be tied up again un-
til the middle of winter, as the contem,
plated improvement is big job.

meat, potatoes and onions. Stew ev-
cry day is better than planked steak
and mashed potatoes every other day."
Since 1909 the Prussians have been
working on the machine with which
the kaiser is confronting the alliance
of great and little powers today. They
call the ration weighing four pounds
and fourteen ounces their iron" ra-
ton. 1t must last three days. Six
hundred carloads Of food must leave
CoblentZ, Cologne, Aix-la-Chapelle, or
whatever for the time being is the
commissary depot, daily for the 100000
men supposed to be operating In Bel
GUM, Luxembourg and possibly HOl-
land. That is the minimum. The
chances are that 900 cars are being
used for the conveyance of one days
'fron" ration. For ammunition there
must be a minimum of 300 cars. For
forage and other quartermaster stores
there must be a minimum Of at least
1000 cars, although the probabilities
are that much larger number are be-
ing used.
If the army is being kept supplied
by less than $500 carloads Of material
every day the statisticians and others
who have worked on the machine and
its handling have achieved great vic
tory. Probably 200 locomotives are In
use.
All these things are being used to
start the supplies from the great de-
pots at the base or bases to the tenn
porary distributing depots. The cities
mentioned are probably the temporary
depots.
The Belgian railroads probably are
being used to get the supplies to the
advanced bases or depots, which are
es near the rear Of the army as Is
consistent with safety.
Fifry-fve thousand wagons drawn
by 100000 animals, or their equiva-
lent in motor vehicles. are needed to
get supplies to a force such as is sup
posed to be operating in Belgium.
Kaiser Wilhelm takes Frederick the
Great as his example, Frederick once
fought all Europe and the Hohenzol-
lefn OF today believes that he. too. can
DO It with his wonderful army and Its
.ommissariat.
