along the sides of the cabin. I slid

in his teeth floated on his back, keep

would recognize them as the legally
appointed successors to the three
members whose terms expired touay.
IL that is so, then 1t will be up to

also said that the legal proceedings
could be FASTENED by friendly CO.

Value of a Shade Tree

According to a bulletin of the Massa- chusetts Forestry association, to deter mine the value of shade trees on streets the advice of practical real estate men was sought says the New York Sun. A large number of these men were asked this question: How much, in your judg- ment, do full grown shade trees along the street improve the value of the adjoin- ing land for house lots?" The majority of answers ranged from 10 to 50 per cent while some went so far as to state that a house lot would be worth 100 per cent more if full grown shade trees were standing In front of it. A fair average of these answers falls between 25 and 40 per cent. Expert tree appraisers say that shade tree in good condition and well placed is worth s1 per square inch of cross section measured at breast height. At that rate @ tree one foot In diameter Is worth SIS. while a tree two feet in diameter Is worth $452. For the sake of illustration suppose that we take a good sized house lot, 50x100 feet or 5000 square feet, worth 25 cents foot. This land value Is s1250. If the trees are spaced 50 feet apart on the street there would be one tree in front of the property. The tree is two feet in diam- eter and worth s452 which would increase the value of the lot 38 per cent.

RIVALRY IS KEEN
 AMONG COWGIRLS
Riders with 1O1 Ranch Wild West Show to Compete for Medal Of
 fered by Arlington

There is a three-cornered battle in the ranks of the female contingent Of the 1O1 Ranch Wild West show, which makes known its strenuous features to Birmingham Thursday. November 12. The three participants in this battle royal are cowgirls and they lay claim to the rather attractive names of Bes- sic Herberg, Idgie Lindsay and Beat rice Brosseau.
 These girls, 1t is said, are all clever and daring riders. They do stunts in the arena that would make the ordi- nary cowboy hesitate. They ride "out- law horses. They lasso wild ponies, dash around the arena on long horned steers and perform other startling feats that create excitement among the spectators.
 But the girls are rivals. When Bes- sic Herberg springs on an "outlaw" horse that has tested the skill and daring of the most reckless among the cowboys. Idgie Lindsay insists on riding a horse that Is even more vicious and unmanageab1e, and Beat rice Brosseau shows her daring spirit ,-and incidentally the spirit of rivalry by duplicating the feat.
 Of course. all this makes strenuous entertainment for the public and adds to the thrills of the performance. Dur ing the next two weeks the girls are to be given an opportunity to com pete for a gold medal offered by Jo- seph C. Miller and his partner, Ed ward Arlington. for the best and clev- crest bucking horse riding in the arena.

HEAVY SENTENCE
 FOR ]. B. BURGESS
Pleads Guilty to Desertion of Chil- dren-Fined s20O and Given Six
 Months at Hard Labor

Charged with the assertion of his young family, J. B. Burgess, a white man residing at Palos, was given a fine of s200 and an additional sentence of six months hard labor by Judge Gun ningham Hickman of the court of com mon pleas yesterday. Burgess was arr rested by Officer $. B. willingham of the juvenile court, who appeared yes- terday as prosecutor In the case.
 Burgess wife died about 12 months ago, leaving him with a family of six children. ranging in age from 15 to 2 years old. Officer Willingham testified that about five months ago Burgess left his home. leaving the children des- titute and unprovided for. He left a note addressed to the oldest child, a boy telling him to take the children to Birmingham and leave them at one of the children's institutions. They were entirely unprovided for, both as to food and raiment. The officials of the juvenile court were notified of their condition and four of the chill dren were brought to the Boys Home. The other two were able to make their own living.
 Burgess returned to Birmingham last week and made no effort to To- cate his children or do anything for them, it was alleged. He was located by Officer Willingham and brought to trial yesterday. He pleaded guilty to the charge of assertion.
