Wilson has done or is doing in the

The greensboro Inquirer encour-
ages the habit of tree-planting
among the students of schools. IL
is certainly laudable enterprise
and should be generally practiced.
The trees should not only be plant
ed, but carefully attended 10 after
ward. We know of a certain fine
old Southern residence here in Hart
ford where half a dozen trees were
planted and each one given per-
sonal name. They are still thriving.
II is a splendid custom and deserves
emulation. Around each tree clus-
ter fond memories. II would in
crease the interest If schoolboys
would adopt this method.

heard or read about what happened
TO Lots wife when she failed to obey

ably. has such a marvellous physical
transformation occurred as that
described by the La Center Advo-

John Wood and Tom Stone met
on Broadway the other day and
stopped to chat a few minutes about
tobacco. Presently a young lady
wearing slit skirt came along.
Then Wood turned to Stone and
Stone turned to Wood, and they
both turned to rubber.

According to the complaint of a
young man from this city, the two
Hindus held him up and relieved him
of his pocketbook. The sheriff's Of
flee was notified and officers went to

resolution adopted August 21, 1912.
In 1913 followed a diversion of the
above amount to the Solano Irrigated
Farms project, colonizing scheme
Calhoun promoted.
The commissions statement con-
cludes:
"Unless some plan is put in effect
to thoroughly safeguard the revenues
of this company, so they will be
used for property purposes of pay
ing off obligations and producing eff
ficienr service, the history of the COM
pany indicates that it will proceed
with no property regard for its obli-
cations to the public until disaster
overtakes it's finances, and meantime
suffering will be caused the public
through it's failure to carry out its
functions. We say this, realizing that
the present president, Mr.. Lillienthal,
has given evidence of intention, 50
far a. he is empowered, to conserve
the finances of this company, but at
tentior. must be called to the fact that
his tenure in office and policy is alb
solute!y in the hands of the same
stockholders who ratified the peculiat,
act of Mr. Calhoun in taking a mil
lion dollars, and also the fact that
some of the officers who participated
with Calhoun still are officers of this

San Francisco, May 23.-Charging
that Patrick Calhoun, ex-president Of
the United Railroads of San Fran
cisco, had appropriated more than Il
milioE of the company's money to
finance private enterprises, and char
acterl2ing the transactions as 'loot
and fraud upon the public and upon
noteholders and bondholders of the
company the state railroad commits
sion handed down today a sensational
decision, scoring Calhoun and acqui-
escin;s directors in scathing terms.
The revelation is made following
an investigation in connection with
the application of the company to bor-
row money to build new cars. 1t
showed the company should have had
available money for the purpose.
A commentary on the company's
chance for regaining the money is con-
tained in the fact that Jesse Lillien-
thai, who succeeded Calhoun in the
companys' presidency, forced Calhoun
to execute a promissory note for ST.
09G,0C0 in favor of the United Rail
roads and then proceeded to list it
on the books at the value of 81.

power to divert the companys' funds

not eligible to reelection.
A cordial welcome was extended
Mrs. G.. S. Helms as treasurer and
Mrs. S. w. Dunaway and Mrs. A II.
Griswold as the newly elected direc-
tors of the club.
Mrs. D. V. Noland, as vice presi-
dent, and Mrs. r. B. Vaile, as past
president, were also paid pretty
tribute for their helpfulness ana 10y
atty.
In short, Mrs. Fawcett's address
,aused such mingling Of regret over
The close of the years work, and hope
and inspiration for the future, thae
it took ones thoughts back to the
time when our graduation days
marked the epoch of an old and .
new era.
Mrs. Fawcett's remarks were made
the occasion of a rising vote o. ap-
probation for her unsefiSh, efficient,
loyal service.
Mrs Violet Campbell, who has
partment of legislation, serving in
that capacity for both the County
Federation and the Ten Tho 1sand
Club, gave a short talk, impressine OH
he ladies the necessity of reg3ter-
ing before going away for the sum-
mer vacation. This applies to every
one who has not registered SINCE the
beginning of the year 1914.
Mrs. Campbell has wide insight
into her subject and can be depended
upon to lead her department. with
thorough efficiency and, as women are
more and more becoming convinced
of the necessity for careful training
in citizenship, the success of the rev
department of legislation, under the
leadership of Mrs. Campbell is as
sured from the start.
Mrs. A. H. Merrill, newly appoint
ed chairman of the drama section, ex-
planned that she would prefer her de-
partment to be known as the drama
study section. While it is hoped to
give one big production during the
year, with perhaps one or two-act
sketch, before, the club, the primary
object of the department will be the
study of the drama.
At the close of the program the phll-
anthropic section served ice cream ami
cake. Through the splendid generos-
itv of the Ell Centre Cream and But
ter Company, which donated the
cream, made of pasteurized products
also Purity water, the receipts fo'
he afternoon of something over 81"
will he largely profit.
The serving of the refreshments
which the ladies all declared was the
verv best" was an important factor
N making the hour which followed

ing the most of the opportunity to
visit and exchange fluctuations over
the success of the year just closed.
