TREES ALONG HIGHWAYS.
CCa6ar Ranids Ren,,frfcan

In Iowa trees along highways have
not been looked upon with much favor.
The hedges and willows have been or
dered cut down. 1t was found that
they harbored snow drifts in winter
and prolonged the mud ir summer.
These objections are valid enough
against hedges but rows OF trees
planted far enough apart would do no
such damage and might not fall under
even the Iowa legislative ban.
In Massac husetts they look with
favor upon the trees along their roads,
We read that there is nowGa move
u1ent under way for the planting of
trees-where there are none now
along 800 miles extent. covering GER
tain automobile roads. The Massa-
chusetts Forestry association is back
OF the undertaking and will supervise
the work, which will be commenced in
the spring. But for this purpose a
landscape engineer has been engaged
and he will decide where and what
trees are to be planted. Where the
wires might be interfered with dwarf
trees will be planted and where there
are bluffs, towering shrubs and hang
ing vines are to be used. The object
is to beautify the highways and TO
make them more attractive to travel
ers 1t is called an inexpensive re-
finement of scenery. A Connecticut
railroad is cited that has planted roses
along its embankments and instead OF
yellow dirt and rocks, there are now
green vines and blossoms during a
large part Of the year. The railroad
has found that it pays for many per-
sons travel over 1t just to see the
flowers.
We need to learn a few such things
here out west. Here we have spec
tacular barrenness for the most part.
There is nothing so dreary as an I'M
relieved road thru a fiat country. Trees
here and there would relieve the
monotony and they might be useful
trees, such as walnuts, while the wild
crab might be used where dwarf trees
are advisable. Our railroad strips are
also apt to be eye sores, except where
the native wild flowers still cover them
| and are allowed to come to bloom.
These wild flowers present an almost
endless round Of blooms, from early
spring to the golden rod Of the autumn.
There is much to be done along such
lines and we should not be too prac-
teal, nor too greedy to begin to do
some work of this kind. II we Will
make life more worth living we will
be increasing our population as well
as by securing new factories.

called:
One afternoon two young women
were talking hats. servants picture

OF them casually referred to certain
Mrs. Smith.

the other. she is a perfect dear OF

Iowa collects huge amounts every
year from her automobile owners, yet

GIVE THE FORMULA.

The American Institute of Home
opathy held convention in Chicago
last week. One of the speakers threw
a scare into the assembled physicians
when he advocated advertising for his
school of medicine. He did not mean
that the individual physician should
advertise, but he felt that the system
should. And why not? Why should
not all schools of medicine advertise
and thus familiarize the public with
their various claims for it's patronage?

1t is hard to find any sort of evil
dence to use against Cosson other than
riff-raf Of stuff that always can be
collected about any man who has held
public Office for a reasonable period.
Cosson hews to the line. He works all
the time and more than earns his
money. He gives the people of the
state what they pay for, and more,
which is not always the way with
public servants. His heart is in his
work, because a position of trust to
him means an opportunity to accom-
plish things worth while to the COM
munity, not only to himself. He sees
beyond the end of his own nose.
1t is because he takes his office
seriously that Cosson lays himself open
TO some criticism. Any man who does
that always is the target for the cheap
politicians jeers.
