There is an old elm in the yard o:
the j. J. Selman home in Bloomfield
that is probably the largest tree in
the state. The writer has had inti-
mate acquaintance for over fifty years
with another old elm few miles
northwest of Bloomfield. This tree was

man set foot on Iowa soil. It was
known to the Indian and the wild beast
a hundred years before the indepen-
dence of our country. 1t is probably
800 years old. It. reached its splendid
proportions thru great tribulations, in
spite of wind and weather: We have
seen it's splendid branches whipped
almost to the breaking point by terrific
winds. 1t stands so high above sur
rounding objects that twice it has at
tracted the tightening and it is Scared

ground beneath its shade. 1t has with
stood droughts and storms, the rigors
Of many winters the assaults Of men

beauty and grandeur for miles around
There is majesty and gripping pathos
about a great tree. There is mystery
about it's everlasting silence, its tran
quill patience.
How fine. how great a thing 1t would
be to plant a tree to Withstand the
storms and beautify landscape and
shelter and refresh by its shade for
centuries. Plant trees on the school
grounds Of Iowa. Keep record OF the
planting-when and by whom-that fu-
ture generations may call your name

ber that, and contribute something to
make life in the coming years desir-
able, beautiful, great. Fail not to do so
in many ways, but plant trees. &,

that 1t be generally observed. but more
especially by those In charge Of our

deemed will best subserve the pur-

three bottles of whiskey from the cellar
of the National hotel, at Fourth and

Timberlake was tried and found guilty
and sentenced by Judge Kunkel to
serve IN the Eastern penitentiarv from
. months to ] 0 years.
At the next meeting of the Board of
Pardons Timberlake will present an ap-
plication for pardon through his attor,
ney, Ralph j. Baker, of Philadelphia.
The pardon is urged on the ground that
the prisoner has always been of good
character in twenty years residence
in Harrisburg and that the sentence
was excessive
The fact that he was sentenced after
the parole law went into effect and
could not take advantage of it is also
urged as reason for his pardon The
pardon is said to be recommended by
Judge kunkel, who sentenced him: bv
former District Attorney Weiss, who
tried him, and by Fred w. Ebel, who
prosecuted him, and there are strong
letters from friends asking his release.
