FRUIT SHADE TREES.
rpel1a Chronicle.


A travelling man made the remark
the other day that. in his boyhood days,
his fathers yard had twelve cherry
trees in 1t, and that these furnished
fruit enough for the family. Now"
he said, "a yard has nothing in it but
grass, absolutely nothing but lawn"
Isn't that the truth? How may years
has it been snice Pella shipped thou
sand bushels Of cherries year? How
many do we ship now? Not two hum
dred. The cherry trees are allowed to
die out and are not replaced by others.
Our yards are full of grass, and we
spend more time keeping the lawn
trimmed than it would take to pick and
preserve the cherries. But we've got to
be in style: we must keep up with the
Joneses. We may forget how cherry
pie tastes, but the compliment passed
on the appearance of our front yard
by the passing observer is rolled as
sweet morsel under our tongue. TO
pick and can our own cherries is bour-
geois and recalls the days when we had
to economize, while to work just as
hard or. harder, to keep the lawn
smooth is not reproach at all, be-
cause everybody's doing it. That's what
makes the difference.

Mr.. Good tells. an interesting story
about coal. The price Of coal in Feb
ruary, 1915, at the mines, bought for
the government, was $1,s4 per ton.
The coal committee, Chairman Pea
body and members Of other large coal
companies, jumped the price to N.eS
at the mines. On May 5, 1916, It was
$3.50; Oh May 5, 1917, $40. On May
1s, 1915, it ranged from $1.42 to $1.5S;
on May 10, 1917, it stood at S5.oS TO

course: They were offered job of
slowing away coal and demanded
40 cents an hour When one or
them saw that he would have to work
in basement he refused utterly 20
have anything to do with such work.
The other tramp declared he had
changed his mind and would not do
the work for less than so cents an

and then he Grated few minutes on

then he was told he couldn't have
the Job at any price and he was also
informed that If the proper officials
could be reached he would have to
explain his presence and business In
the village. Both Of the skunks then
departed in considerable haste. The
reason this newspaper is telling the
story and the point at issue Is this:
Are the people of this town going to
stand any longer for all this loafing
and lettering by buns that come in and
20 out Of town via the railroad ties?
This newspaper now calls upon the
town officials to Immediately assert
their authority and keep those fellows
moving. or else see to 1t that they go
to work inside of very few hours
after they hit the town, and go to
work Immediately II work ls offered

The Webster City Freeman-Tribune
insists that Congress ought to enact
a law providing that any citizen of this
country who is not loyal to it during
war shall be excluded from its Dor
ders. Every American native born or
naturalized. who is not true to his own
country is not entitled to live here and
should be made to leave when the war
is over. His property should also be
confiscated, and we believe it will come
to that before peace is restored. There
is absolutely no room in the United
States for pro-Germans. pro- Austrians,
or pro-anything of an enemy nature,
and the sooner this fact is driven home
to the few traitors who are showing
their heads. the better will it be for all

will cite something the government
has done or something that has not
been done as his excuse for withhold

city's legal department will assist the
representatives of the Chamber Of
Commerce and the board of city COM

FRITZ KREISLER IS
MUSIC PATHFINDER
Works Diligently to Find Most
Beautiful Compositions
for Violin.

To Fritz Kreisler. who Is making
his fifth successive tour of America,
under the direction of G. A. Ellis Of
Boston. violinists of today owe a
great debt. The repertoire of this in
strument is surprisingly small com
pared with that of the piano. for ex
ample, and those who have gone to
violin recitals in the past and have
had to content themselves with unac-
ccmpanied Bach pieces, realize that
they were not the most stirring OF
musical events.
4 Deep student,
Kreisler. who Is deep student Of
the literature Of music, realized this
years ago and he decided to mark
out IA new path for himself. Buried in
libraries and musical collections in
Italy, Austria and Germany were vast
quantities Of music by composers long
forgotten who flourished, particu-
larry in italy during the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. AT that
time the violin was more generally
cultivated than It is today and vast
amount of music was written for II.
For years Kreisler gave n great part
of his time to hunting up and going
over this. separating the wheat from
the chaff. As result of his search
he unearthed much very beautiful
music which was well worthy of a
place on = recital program.
Programs Model.
Moreover, he made a number OF ar
rangcments of small compositions 10y
modern composers with the result
that his recital programs became n
model which all other violinists are
| following. with Porpora and Chami-
made Pugnani and Dvorak and Others

given to the slighter portions Of pro-
grams which invariably include works

NEW REAR-ADMIRAL NATIVE OF
FRANKFORT,

Captain Hugh Rodman, U. S. N,
who has been recommended by the
President for promotion to the rank
OF Rear Admiral, has seen more sea
duty than any other officer on the
active list of the navy. Since he was
commissioned as an ensign in 1892
he has spent more than twenty-six
years at sea. He is fifty-eight years
old and native of Frankfort. KeT,
lucky.
He entered the Naval Academy in
1875 and was assigned to the Yantic
in 1880. 1t was Captain Rodman
whom Admiral Dewey sent to demand
the surrender of the Spanish batter
les on Corragidor Island, outside of
the Manila Bay in 1893. In recent
years he has commanded the battle
ships Delaware and New York and
has also served as a member of the
General Board.
