COM UNICATIONS

The following was received too late
for publication last week, and is SUBJ
mitted for the perusal of the public,
without comment.
A Crime Against the Community
Brookings is noted all v the state
for her many trees. Perhaps that fact
has made her reckless. In fact, so reck-
less that the best grove in the vicinity
has been purchased and is at present
being used as a city dump ground.
Municipal dump grounds are an eye
ore to any community. Rightly they
should be screened from public view
in some out of the way place unfit for
anything else, but perhaps the rubbish
of Brookings is worthy of a better rest
ing place than is usually provided, for
so it seems, for the highest, driest, and
most beautifully wooded knoll right in
the eastern path Of development Of the
city, has been selected for the new
dump grounds.
If Brookings were located in a heavi-
ly wooded country, if good trees grew
more quickly and easily, and Brook
ings were not so much in the neel of a
public park, there would be some logi-
cal excuse for locating the dump
grounds in this place.
Il l.; ,r,l1 - ,ooo1l that nranIipo c lie
a city without a park. Parks do not
grow up in a day. 1t takes years to
grow such trees as are found in this
grove. Bookings needs a public park
and play ground where not only the
boys and girls, but the grown-ups may
recreate during the summer months
pleasant shade away from the dust Of
the city streets.
This is the city's opportunity for 3
park we'll along in the making, a beau
tiful piece of woodland of well de-
veloped long lived trees one-half mile
from the resident part Of the city. All
that is needed to make this beauty spot
an ideal park, is the addition of some of
the artificial features, such as seats,
water works, fountains, drives and
paths.
Why not make it a dump ground for
humans rather than tin cans?
The dissertation of this beauty spot
is little short of a crime to the com
munity. F. e. MCCALL

rhubarb leaves for greens, and that
disastrous results have followed the
acceptance of the advice.

BERLIN, via London, Sept. 10,
President Wilson can bring i'm
mediate peace if he will prove by
acts of the faith in the German
people he has expressed in words,
Philip Scheidemann, leader of the
German socialist majority party
declared today in an exclusive in
terview with the United Press.
Further bloodshed is now un-
necessary, If America believes in
and does not underestimate the
reichstag's power and the strength
of the German movement which
pushes irresistibly toward demo
cratization of the entire public
life,' Scheidemann asserted. at
is pushing on, altho, as in Amer
lea, war offers the worst chance
for further development of demo-
cratic institutions.
THE German advance will be
quicker the sooner the obstacles
of war are removed"
Special significance attaches to
Scheidemann' views on the
American note and as to Ger
many's characterization. The Ger
man socialist majority leader is

mittee charged by the kaiser with

will require a proportion of
five allied machines 10 one

This ratio, it Is figured out,
would practically make it impos-
sible for any German machine to
cross the allied lines or to mount
to sufficient height behind the
German lines to enable the OBJ
server in a machine to do any
good.
That Germany is well equipped
with airplanes at present is quite
evident. Every few days reports
reach the American camp of air
battles between British and Ger
mans, and between French and
Germans. In most cases the num-
Der of German machines engaged
compares favorably with the oppo-
sition.
And 1t must not be forgotten
that in the air Germany is trying
to cope with both the French and
the British, who have gone in
