TREE DENTISTRY IN COLUMBIA

TREE DENTISTRY IN COLUMBIA.
Tree dentistry preserves the trees
like dentistry does the teeth. There
are many decaying trees in Columbia
that are badly In need of care. Trees
are one of the features for which Co
lumbia is noted.
Because tree has large decayed
place is no sign that it can't be saved
and live for many years. Trees are
being treated on the University Cam
pus every day at very small cost
The decayed spots are chiseled out.
Then the hollow place is filled with a
mixture of cement. This cement
hardens so solidly that water can't
seep in to continue the decaying pro-
cess.
If branch is sawed off, the stump
that is left on the tree is painted with
coal tar to prevent water from en-
tering the cracks. By this simple
process the lives of the trees are pre-
served.
Citizens of Columbia should adopt
this new profession and thereby in
sure one of COlumbia's most valuable
assets. 1t requires no particular
skill to be a tree dentist. A little
time, hatchet and some cement will
do much for those decayed spots on
your trees.

F|vE-ACT COMEDY FOR
WIGWAM PROGRAM
TOMORROW

On May 10 the World Film Corpo.
ration presents the 5-act comedy
What Happened to Jones', founded
upon George II. Broadhurst's play OF
the same name. When produced by
w. A. Brady a few years ago, the
play was received with great success.
The story and situations, the charact.
erization and the acting made the
piece laughmaker and a money.mak.
er. The fame of the play has sur
Yived and in film form it will also
probably be a success.
Fred Mace directs the comedy and
Fred Mace directs himself in it as
Jones the drummer, to whom so many
things happen. Mace, of all men,
holds the reversion to this part In a
film play which has been inevitable
for years, of course. Mace graduated
in the Biograph School of comedy
then he became a keystone favorite,
now he puts the seal on his reputa-
ton by succeeding Lew Fields in a
big comedy in the World Film Cor
poration program. Farce, perhaps,
more accurately describes What Hap
pened to Jones'" The situations are
ludicrous. "a scream" is the term
perhaps more accurately than any 9TH
Prescription applies to the story.
Fred Mace, as Jones, sells Bibles
and playing cards; falls in love at
first sight; goes to a prize fight; is
badly mauled, hides in a young ladies'
academy; frightens a girl in her bath;
interferes in a girls pillow fight, i'm
personates Bishop; becomes teach
er and finally elopes with his girl, an
Heiress.
There are lots of other characters in
the comedy, but Fred Mace as Jones
has the lions share of the work.
The Pathe Daily News is also as
sured of place in the interest OF
every motion picture fan. If you are
alive to what is going on in the world
today you will never miss a chance to
see one of these latest news films.

COMPLAINT MADE
ON WATER RATES

Attorney M. Badt appeared before
the Board of County Commissioners
this morning and on behalf of certain
citizens of Elko asked the board to
make a formal request of the public
utility commission that the water
rates and service of Elko be investi-
gated. He presented written COM
plant for the signatures of the mem
bers of the board, in which a number
OF charges are made that rates charg-
ed by the company are excessive and
that there has been unjust discrimina-
ton. He said that he represented
certain citizens of Elko who did not
for various reasons wish to personal
ly make the complaint, but who de-
sired the board to do so. No action
had been taken by the board at our
latest account.
The complaint presented Is based on
information and belief, and simply
asks for a hearing. Mr.. Badt stated
that in the event of an investigation
1t might be shown that rates are
reasonable and that the company is
earning only a fair amount on the
money invested.

MoNEYED INTERESTS PREPARE

NEW YORK, May 14.-Apprehen-
sion arising from the latest interna-
tional complications was reflected to
no uncertain extent in today'B stock
market. Standard shares broke from
three to five points and those war
Bpecialties which recently made high
record quotations, largely as result
OF speculative excesses, declined flve
to ten points. Bethlehem Steel losing
the most ground.
Wall street was outwardly In full
possession Of its habitual poise, but
an undercurrent Of uneasiness was
everywhere manifest Recent liduida-
tlon Of many speculative accounts has
put the market In a strong technical
position and II Is the general under
standing that the moneyed interests
are prepared for almost any eventu'
ality.
Today's decline lost little OF its BE-
verify from the fact that IL was more
or less gradual. Opening prices failed
to measure the degree of anxiety
shown after the first hour, when a
steady ebbing away of values set in
continuing to the end. Indeed, lowest
prices were registered in tn last
hour, with few fltful and unimport
ant recoverles at the close.

Department Of State, Washington, May
13, 1915.
The Secretary of State to the Ameri
can Ambassador at Berlin:
Please call on the minister of for
eign affairs and after reading to hin
this communication, leave with him 6
copy.
In view of recent acts of the Ger
man authorities in violation of Ameri
can rights on the high seas, which
eliminated in the torpedoing and
sinking Of the British steamship Lusi
tenia on May 7, 1915, by which over
100 American citizens lost their lives
it is clearly wise and desirable that
the government of the United States
and the imperial German government
should come to a clear and full un
derstanding as to the grave situation
which has resulted.
The sinking Of the British pas
senger steamer Falabia by a German
OA DAoANA co. IAAOu6I
which Leon c. Thrasher, an American
citizen, was drowned; the attack on
April 2S on the American vessel Cush
ing by a German aeroplane; the tor
peGoinS on May 1 of the American
vessel Gulhight by a German subma
rine as a result of which two or more
American citizens met their death
and, finally, the torpedoing and sink
ing of the steamship Lusitania, con
stitute a series of events which the
government of the United States has
observed with growing concern, dis.
tress and amazement.
Recalling the humane and en-
lightened attitude hitherto assumed
by the imperial German government
in matters of international right. and
particularly with regard to the free
dom of the seas; having learned to
recognize the German views and the
German influence in the field of in.
ternational obligation as always en-.
gagged upon the side of justice and
humanity; and having understood the
instructions of the imperial German
government to its naval commanders
to be upon the same plane of humane
action prescribed by the naval codes
of other nations, the government of
the United States was loath to believe
1T cannot now bring itself to believe
that these acts, so absolutely con.
trary to the rules, the practices and
the spirit of modern warfare, could
have the countenance or sanction of
that great government. 1t feels II to
be its duty, therefore, to address the
imperial German government concern
ing them with the utmost frankness,
and in the earnest hope that 1t is not
mistaken in expecting action on the
part of the imperial German govern
ment which will correct the unfor-
tunate Impressions which have been
created, and vindicate once more the
position of that government with re-
gard to the sacred freedom of the
seas.

II EDDY SQUIRREL was cunning
~ little red-furred squirrel who lived
in a city park. He was chubby and
plump and so jolly that he had many
friends among the boys and girls (and
among the grown folks, too), who came
and went under the big trees of that park,
Many of these friends learned to watch
for Reddy and to save for him their
choicest nuts and goodies.
But among all these good friends Red
dy had no trouble in picking his favorite
and who do you suppose his choice
was? A sweet little curly-haired girl?
Or a strong, generous big boy? No. you
will have to guess again! His favorite
was dear little gray-haired old lady
who came every week to see him. And
why do you suppose he liked her the
best of all? Well, If Reddy could have
talked. he would have told you that he
liked her quiet ways, her patience and
her sociableness For every time she
came to see him, she sat down as though
she had all the whole day just for him,
then she laid the nuts she brought for
him on the ground beside her and took
out her book (she always had a book,
and began to read.
That was the signal for Reddy to come.
AS soon as she began reading he started
down from the tree overhead Down
he crept, till he reached her side; she
would look up and smile at him, but she
didn't move towards him or make him
jump, as the boys and girls usually did.
She just read on till he had eaten and
was ready for play. When that time
came, Reddy crept up on her shoulder
and kissed her ear with his softest kiss.
Then she put up her book and played
with him as long as he wished. oh, she
and Mr.. Reddy were great friends!
One day 1t occurred to Reddy that he
4 IL.
when the time came for her to go home,
he followed her to the edge of the park.
She was so pleased by that devotion that
always afterwards he took her as far as
the edge of the park. Then one day, when
he was feeling braver than usual, he
stood at the edge of the park and watched
to see where she went. Why she didn't
live far at all. She lived in that big gray
house right across the street from the
park entrance Reddy felt so comfort
