TO BEAUT|FY COUNTRY
Every Highway to be Lined
With Delicious Fruits
Maybe.

The following from the Amer
lean City Magazine, New York
is based on an interview with
Frank W. Buffum, state high
way commissioner, when he was
in Macon:
An interesting campaign to
beautify public roads, parks,
church, school and cemetery
grounds is being carried on by
Frank w. Buffum, Missouri's
highway commissioner, in con-
nection with his activity for
better highways.
In Mr.. Buffum's home town of
Louisiana, Mo-, there is a big
concern known as the Stark Nur-
series. Mr.. Buffum has observ-
ed at the close of every shipping
season the nursery people burn
ed from so, 900 to co., young
trees that had not been sold. He
induced the nursery firm to give
him those trees for distributions
to towns and counties which
would agree to plant and look
after them. The freight is the
sole expense to those applying
for them.
AS a result of this idea many
miles of tree-bordered highways
can be seen in the counties of
Northern Central Missouri. The
first planting was in Lincoln and
Pike counties, where the trees
have reached the bearing stage.
They are planted 10 to the mile
on each side of the road. Coun-
ty courts or persons asking for
the trees are notified that they
will be expected to look after
them carefully; this means that
the weeds are to be kept down,
the trees regularly sprayed and
in dry weather the proper mulch
created for the roots. Where no
interest is shown in protecting
the trees the commissioner does
not repeat the gift.
The care of the trees by coun-
ty courts will in time more than
repay the early expenditure of
labor, and the produce, Mr.. Buff
fun figures, will yield a surplus
to be devoted to road improve
ment. No complaint has been
made that the fruit has been ap-
propriated by the general public
at least in the eastern counties
near Mr.. Buffum's home. The
public is appreciative of an en-.
terprise of that kind and will
nearly always respect it. 1t is
expected, of course, that the oc'
casional tourist will help himself
by the wayside to the fruit that
he needs for the moment, and
anyone who would steal the fruit
to sell would steal as readily from
a private orchard.
The proposition of the enter.
prising road commissioner is be-
ing eagerly accepted by county
courts, school and church boards
and, if suitable appreciation o:
the gifts is shown, in a few
years Missouri will become ia
nous for its beautiful highways
church and school grounds, ant
parks. The trees that hav,
been set out are apple, peach
cherry and plum. Missouri sol
is we'll adapted to all these va
rieties.
Last spring through the Brook
field Commercial Club, a larg,
amount of the trees were contri
buted to Linn county and tn,
farmers planted them along tn
highways.
This fruit tree idea of MI
Buffum's is timely in connection
with the statewide campaign fo
beautifying school grounds, bot
! in town and in the country. /

RECOGNIZED ADVANTAGES

You will find that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has recognized advan-
tages over most medicines in use for
coughs and colds. 1t does not sup
press a cough but loosens and reliev-
es it. 1T aids expectoration and opens
the secretions, which enables the sys-
tenn to throw off cold. It counter
acts any tendency of a cold to re-
suit in pneumonia. 1t contains no
opium or other narcotics, and may be
given to a child as confidently as to
an adult. For sale by all drug

WHAT IS AN AMATEUR?
BY HAL SHERIDAN.

With the spring opening of ath-
letics and the near advent of 'sum-
mer' baseball, sport mentors and
athletes are today facing new rul-
ings and interpretations of the old,
old question--"What is an anna
teur?"
New restrictions are cropping up
to hamper amateur athletes in gath
ering in the long green. New stand
ards of sport purity are about to be
established. The "good old summer
time this year promises to be finan-
cially barren, compared to former
years. Closer tab is to be kept on
the athletic activities of college ath-
letes during the vacation.
The newest rule in vogue is that
of a western college requiring an
"atiletes's OATH" pledging athletes
to take no money for their services.
The most drastic feature of this new
oath is that college letters may be re-
called if an athlete is found break
ing the money -acceptance rule.
Some strange contradictions in the
amateur" rulings are also cropping
up. One of these is that golfer may
take money for writing golf articles,
but a professional baseball player,
at least in some leagues, cannot earn
money by writing baseball articles.

QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SHOWING :
EFFECT OF BOND ISSUE

What makes bond issue necessary
at this time?
| Anticipated revenues last year
from sources other than tax levy, fell
short $4,000 on account of the Fed
eral closing. Anticipated revenues
from this source for this year approxi-
mating $4,000 are also lost on ac-
count of this closing. This combined
with outstanding warrants makes an
issue Of this kind advisable.
What is the bond issue for?
For the purpose of picking up out
standing warrants.
Does this tend to increase our in
debtedness?
No. For instance, the city has
from $4,000 to 100000 outstanding
| warrants for indebtedness that exists,
and these warrants draw per cent
interest. The arrangements for a
state loan merely would provide the
cash to retire these warrants, and
such loan is made at per cent.
You see it does not increase the in
debtedness, but reduces the interest
on such an amount from to 4 per
cent.
The City's Indebtedness.
What is the actual Indebtedness Of
the city?
At the beginning of the fiscal year
it was approximately $98,000. Now
this may seem high, but when you
consider that of this amount 100000
is for bonds for the water system,
and which is never considered as an
actual city Indebtedness, it being
strictly public utility, or a CONNER
cial enterprise and self-sustaining,
lit is not so very high. This then
leaves approximately an indebtedness
Of $4,000 for what is called the
city proper
What Offset has the city for this
Indebtedness?
It has every bit of the city prop
erty that can be given a physical
valuation, such as real estate, build
ings, equipment of all kinds, that is
owned by the city, and in addition to
this it represents every bit of perman-
ent improvements made, such as
bridges, grading streets and roads,
street and alley crossings, walks, pay
ing, sewers, septic tank and so on.
Will the indebtedness be greater at
The end of this fiscal year?
1t will be less, because there is a
bond issue of $4,000 due and payable
October first this year, which will he
paid and retired, money being avail
able in the sinking fund for that pur-
pose.
What rate of interest do these out
standing warrants draw?
Six per cent.
What rate of interest will the bonds
draw?
Four per cent.
Are these warrants taken at par?
No. They are usually discounted
at to 10 per cent-at the present
time 10 per cent is the rate of dis
count
Who Pays Discount?
Who stands this discount?
The individual to whom the war;
rants are issued.
Are all the expenses of the city
paid by warrants on over-drawn
funds?
Yes, and have been for the past
two or three years.
Who holds these warrants?
Banks, business houses, contractors
and private citizens.
What share of the 100000 is held
by the banks?
About $11, 900; the balance is held
by the others.
Will the issuance of the bonds be

vaded the court room, dominated the
proceedings, intimidiated the jury
and forced his conviction. Alleged
anti-Jewish racial prejudice also fig
ured largely.
Pending the long legal battle,
Frank has been confined, without
bail, in the Fulton county, Ca, jail.
Brought Against Sheriff.
Franks habeas corpus petition be-
fore the court today was technically
brought against Sheriff G. Wheeler
Mangum Of Fulton county, to COM
pei him to deliver Franks "body''
before the Federal district court of
Georgia for hearing and determina-
ton of his charges that he had been
denied Constitutional rights. Franks
attorneys claimed that the Georgia
courts had lost jurisdiction of him.
They cOntended that the habeas
corpus petition should be granted,
Frank given a hearing and allowed
to produce evidence Of alleged errors
in his trial, and if the charges were
substantiated, that Frank be dis
charged. Whether the state of
Georgia should have the right to re-
arrest and retry him on the murder
indictment, in case the habeas corpus
proceedings were in Franks favor,
was declared by lawyers a debating
question.
Frank was convicted almost solely
upon the evidence of James Conley,
negro, employed as sweeper in the
pencil factory. He gave widely va
ried versions of the murder, but on
the witness stand stuck unswervingly
to a story that Frank knocked the
girl victim unconscious, then
strangled her and forced him, Con-
ley, to help dispose of the body. The
defense's theory was that Conley
himself was the murderer and con-
cocted the story to save his own
neck by convicting Frank. Conley
was later convicted of being an &C.
cessory and sentenced to one year in
the Georgia penitentiary. -,
