Tree Warden for Frederick and
Vicinity.

Under a new State law all of the
trees standing within the right.of-wa Of
public highways and along the sidewalks
of the incorporated towns become public
shade trees, under the care and protec-
ton of the State through the State Board
of Forestry. Heretofore the authority
over such trees has not been clearly de-
fined and generally the property owner
who owns the abutting property claimed
them as his trees, the town or road SUI
pervsors. as the case might be, claimed
certain amount of jurisdiction. because
they were along the public highway or
street. while the pole line companies,
which have franchise or permit to use
the roads or streets. claimed that when
ever such trees interfered with their
wires that they had right to cut or trim
them. This has led to much i'll feeling
and many controversies and has proven
very unsatisfactory. Now the status Of
these trees is clearly defined, and they
are recognized as part of the improve
ments of the road or street, belonging
not to the individual but to the public gen.
orally.
This new law makes it a misde-
meanor for any one to cut. trim or in
any way injure one Of these trees. without
a permit from the State Board of Fores-
try The purpose of the law is to pre-
vent the mutilation or reckless cutting of
these trees, which add so much to the
attractiveness of the streets and road
sides and are source OF comfort 10 the
people. 1t takes many years to growa a
shade tree and they are worthy of the
very best care and protection OF the
State.
For the town of Frederick and the
outlying sections the Governor Of the
State upon the recommendation of the
State Forester has commissioned Mr..
Charles E. Klein, of Frederick. to act
as the local Tree Warden. Every one
interested in the protection of trees
should cooperate with Mr.. Klein in this
good work to see that the law is strictly
enforced and to see that the community
receives the full benefits under its pro-
visions.

THE IDEAL HOME.

The following is our second contribu-
ton on the Ideal Home. We received
many compliments on the first one pub
lished and the following is certainly
equally as good. Editor.
The head of nv ideal home" is a
father possessing firmness of character
without being a tyrant He gives the
best that he is socially and mentally to
his father. The mother is patient, kind
and courageous. the children obedient.
The home is not the home of wealth,
neither is it the home of poverty. Order
and system prevail in every department.
The radiance of truth rests upon each
face. There is refinement and culture.
The mother tongue is spoken in all of
its purity. The ideal home.is christian
home. The Bible is read here and its
precepts are lived up to. Books and pa
pers are to be seen everywhere. The
books are selected with care so that they
may entertain and instruct without cor
rupting the reader. No profanity or
slang is heard here. The cup that ine-
briates has never had place in this
home. The children honor their parents
and the parents respect the rights OF the
children, and life is made as bright as
possible for them, They are early Taught
to love the beautiful in art as well as in
nature. Flowers aad music help to re.
fine and beautify their home This fam
lily is taught to deal Justly and they
weigh their fellow man by what he is
and not by what he has. This ideal
home" is so attractive that the children
are not tempted to spend their evenings
on the street or in doubtful places OF
amusement.

THERE'S ROOM AT THE BOTTOM.

Many and Welghty are the editorials
that have been written on There is AL
wavs Room at the Top" Our greatest
writers have pointed young men to the top
round of the ladder. That is well, but it
is time TO call halt. There are too
many at the top and none at the bottom.
There's room at the top has been
preachvd by our preachers;
Been sung by our poets and taught by
onr teachers,
Until by such teaching, grown wiser
and sadder,
We have almost forgotten the foot OF
life's ladder.
Young men have desire to enter
some profession. They imagine that only
lawyers, editors or politicians ever reach
the top of the ladder. Young ladies who
have from youth been pointed to the
top of the ladder, shun the dish pan and
the broom as they would the cholera The
piano and music books to speak French
correctly and waltz gracefully they con-
slider the only stepping stones leading to
the top OF the ladder. The time has
come when it is almost impossible TO find
young man or young woman at the
foot of the ladder, willing to labor a. any
calling that is honorable and earn their
living by the sweat of their brow.
There's room at the bottom, o men
Be not drawn aside by their trite itera-
tions

at the bottom.

Let us learn to tip our hats as politely
to the young lady who sews for living
or earns it by any honest toll as to the
one who teaches French or chews gum

as warm a clasp of the hand to the hon

doctor Let us recognize honesty and
industry wherever found, and the time
will soon come when there will be an
army of bright, intelligent, honest young
men and women at the bottom of the
ladder, ready to do labor al any honor

most beautiful lives have blossomed in
