.M HELPS
PAYS TO HAVE SHADE TREES
Their Worth to the Owners of Prop
, erty Can Be Shown In Actual
Dollars and Cents.

II q real estate dealer tells you that
the house or building lot you are think
ling Of buying is worth several hun
,dred dollars more because it is we'll
supplied with shade trees, don't be too
sure that he Is trying to take
advantage Of you until you have
counted and measured the trees. Very
probably he may be telling the truth,
for it has lately been discovered that
the right kind of trees do increase the
value of a piece of real estate.
In order to determine the value Of
trees In residential districts the Mas
sachusetts Forestry association re-
Gently sought the advice of number
of practical real estate men. These
men were asked this question: "How
much, in your judgment. do full-grown
shade trees along the street improve
the value of the adjoining land for
house lots?"
The majority Of answers ranged
from 10 to so per cent, while some
went so far as to state that a house
lot would be worth 100 per cent more
il fullgrown shade trees were stand
Ding in front of it. A fair average Of
the answers held that trees would
Improve the value of the adjoining
land 40 per cent.
Exnert tree appraisers say that a
shade tree in good condition and we'll
placed Is worth 81 per square inch
of cross-section measured at breast
height. At that rate, tree one foot
in diameter Is worth S113, while a
tree two feet in diameter is worth
$4h2.
For the sake of illustration. sup
pose that we take good-sized house
lot, so hv 100, or 5000 square feet,
worth 25 cents a foot. The land value
worth $2s 4 foot. The land value is
Is s1.250. IF the trees are spaced so
feet apart on the street there would
be one tree in front of the property.
The tree is two feet in diameter and
worth s452, which would increase the
value Of the lot 36 per cent.

WASHINGTON. D. C.-Bids for sub

bidders only the general requirements

that will not prevent bidders holding
patents from submitting alternative
bids, and between the two the navy
may make its choice. The fact that

CAPT. AXTON IS
CALLED BILLY
SUNDAY OF ARMY
Chaplain of 10th Infantry Has
Made Name For Himself BY
Aggressive Preaching

Capt. John T. Axiom of the 10th In
fantry is sometimes called the Billy
Sunday of the army He is unique
among army chaplains and is known
throughout the service as one of the
most active and most successful
preachers in Uncle Sans ranks.
So successful have been Capt Ak
tons services for soldiers at Fort
Bliss that a thousand or more people
come out from Ell Paso, seven miles
away, 10 attend. Gifted with a re-
markable voice, talking to 5000 or
more people in the open air is easy
for Capt. Axton. He Is highly educat-
ed, fluent, eloquent and convincing
a preacher who makes his work count.
His friends say that If Capt Axton
were not great preacher he would
be great general, for he is gifted
with much personal magnetism as q
natural leader of men and good ex-
ecutiye He takes keen interest In
the affairs of the enlisted men, con-
Quoting the camp exchange, which Is
said to be the best in the army He
encourages athletics and never misses
an opportunity to provide wholesome
amusement for the boys In khaki 1t
is said that the success of the 10th In
fantry in handling the big Mexican
refugee camp at Fort Bliss in 1914
was largely due to the chaplain. He
was chaplain of the 18th Infantry for
about 10 years.
His method of preaching verges on
the sensational He has been COM
pared to Billy Sunday and also to DR..
Talmadge. He is not so theatrical as
Sunday. but strong and convincing.

GARDNER Turns
UP HIS NOSE At
ANNUAL REPORT
Says Milk of Coconut on Nav
al Affairs is in Special Re-
port Still Kept Secret

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Interest in
the campaign for national prepared.
ness against war was intensified by
disclosure from Congressman A. p.
Gardner of Massachusetts that the
real root of discussion OF a naval pro-
gram lies In special report of the
General Board of the Navy made in
August, 1915, at the order of President
Wilson, rather than in the annual re-
port OF the general board. Widespread
demand has been made for publica-
ton OF the annual report, but the milk
of the coconut, says Mr.. Gardner, Is
contained in the special report.
Also, Mr.. Gardner points out the
fact that at the end of nine years the
United States would have under Sec
rotary Daniels plan "a dreadnoughts
and six battle-cruisers. This is the
first time the prospective strength
under the Daniels program has been
computed and disclosed.
Mr. Gardner said:
81 came to Washington early for
two purposes: First. to persuade con-
gressmen that Secretary Daniels nine
year building program for the navy
must be accelerated. It is not safe
to procrastinate.
Second, to lobby the members Of
the committee on naval affairs until
they consent to call in some expert
witnesses who are not in the imme-
date coterie of the navy department
What the public should demand If
1t wants to know the actual facts as to
the sort of navy we need" added Mr..
Gardner, els the special report Of the
General Board of the Navy, made in
August, 1915, in compliance with
President Wilson's orders. That is
the report which tells the whole story
mot the annual report of the general
board"
