TREES ARE A BLESSING
Not Only Beautify, But Temper Ali
and Make for Health

Men and animals have good reason
for their fondness for trees. 1t is not
only because the trees add so much to
the attractiveness of rivers and lakes
and even of the seashore depends large
ly upon the trees, that we look upon
them as silent friends, says the Kan
sas City Star. They help us in a more
material way than with their beauty,
great as that help may be. They add
TO our physical comfort and to our
health
The side of the street having the
most trees is the popular side in sum-
mer That is because it is the coolest
by about 20 degrees, Mr.. Farwell tells
US, for "a full grown tree sends out
1877 gallons of water through its leaves
into the air" Shading the ground also
serves to moderate the heat. And the
air around the trees is more pure.
The tempering effect of trees on the
climate is not confined to summer. In
winter they actually radiate heat, in ad-
dition to their benefits as windbreak $
when planted in clumps and groves
That it pays to have trees in the
town and city and on the farmstead is
shown by the fact that real estate on
shaoed trees and that on which trees
are growing sells for a better price.
No l'ttle of welfare and prosperity of
town, city or country depends upon it's
trees, land there is a direct connec-
tion between the attractiveness of the
village or of the home on the farm
and the love of the citizens for their
village or of the children on the farm
Tor their home"

WANTS TO PROTECT
COTTON AND COPPER
Col. Thompson Points Out
New Feature From Ex-
port Point of View

Washington, February 2l.-(Speeial)
In a statement submitted to Chairman
Henry d. Clayton of the judiciary COM
mittee of the House, which has been hay
ing hearings on the proposed trust legis-
lation, Col. Robert NJ. Thompson of New
York and Washington develops the most
surprising theory that it would be adj
visable for the United States to prevent
undue competition and a corresponding
lowering of prices on commodities of
which We export more than we consume.
Colonel Thompson statement was in
the main in defense of the copper indus
try of the United States and a plea for
its protection, on the theory that 60 per
cent of the copper products of this coun-
try was exported. But he also spoke in
terestingly of cotton production. He said
in part:
''Will the Judiciary committee allow me
to make one suggestion? In no debate
that has taken place has it ever been
pointed out that distinction should be
made between commodities consumed in
our own market and commodities that
we export. 1t may be wise to pass laws
the operation of which will depress the
price of commodities consumed at home
If we believe that by so doing we will
benefit the great mass of our citizens;
but is it wise to use the same machinery
to depress the price of commodities that
we export. because this means that the
amount of commodities which we receive
in return from foreign countries will be
lessened and thereby the whole of our
people will be to that extent injured.
1.-TWO commodities in particular may be
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-22

noted-eopper and cotton. In each case
We export 65 per cent of our product. The
application of the principles of the Sher-
man law in the case of copper is exact
opposite of the methods of the German
government in the potash case.
I'm the case of cotton he said, the
condition is much the same The inereas-
ing demand for cotton goods readily ab-
serbs the continual increasing product of
the world. Sixty-five per cent of each OF
our cotton crops is exported. The peo-
pie interested in the production of cot
ton compare as 10 to ! to the people in
terested in the manufacture of cotton The
methods employed in marketing this crop
in the past have been such that the farm
CT and planter have been forced to receive
less than the economic value of their cot
ton. The great bulk of the tenant farlfAr
-ers have made but a seanty living, and
often the result of y months work of
themselves and family was a debt and not
profit. | have always regarded this as
a serious evil; the stability of govern
ment depends upon the man owning and
living on the land being satisfied; the
farmer is the foundation upon which so
ciety rests. Men engaged in transporta-
ton, in manufacturing and distribution,
are mere adjunets to the man who works
directly with the powers of nature in
producing real things upon which we de-
pend for our existence.
THE Sherman law" he declared en-
phatically, "has been used with great
strictness to prevent the farmers and
planters of the south obtaining a reason
able price for their product. After care
f,,I I
manipulation of the so-called cotton in
dictment suits cost the south at least
500 100000, of which s65, 100000 was a loss
to the entire nation.

Decorating the Canal

With the digging nearly done and
the Qualifications well under way, the
decoration of the Panama canal is a
subject of renewed attention, aroused
particularly by the suggestion from
France that the early work of Ferdi-
nand De Lesseps, the French engi-
neer, be commemorated by statue
to him at some conspicuous point on
the canal, says the Grand Rapids
Press. This is but one of many ideas,
however, and the whole question OF
embellishments of the waterway is still
open.
Artists generally agree with engi-
neem that the canal Is a monument to
itself, but at the same time there has
been no lack of suggestion for beau
tifying the waterway. One proposition
is for colossal pillars at the outermost
roints of the Atlantic and Pacific en-
frances, surmounted by staues OF he
roic proportions of Columbus, Balboa
and others whose names have been in
