Use of stratihed Trees.

The trees of stratifed growth,
shelves, v~erticels, whorls or whatever
you may call these pe~culiarities, are
not to be indiscriminately planted.
Nearly all the araucarias and many
frs and spruces have this growth.
These may be used where the lines OF
buildings near by or in the background,
are mainly horizontal, for then har-
mony prevails. A billy Or cliff back
ground showing terraces or stratified
outcropping of rocks would also har-
monize with such trees, as would broad
sketches of plains, but rounded hill
and undulating mountain range do not
invite such trees. Sharp and jagged
peaks, however, would admit Of such.
especially those Of spirelike tips.

court at New York Saturday through

Mrs. Green, her son testified, were Mrs.
Dewey, Mrs. Warrington, Mrs. Norton,
Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Nash, Mrs. Martin,
Miss Hickey, and others he couldn t
recall. A list of checks drawn in 1915,
covering % weeks, showed the rich
woman paid from so to $14 week
for board and lodging. Asked if his
mother remained long at a time in her
boarding houses, Col. Green replied
No, sir; a short time. The news
paper men and the cranks used to get
after her, and the charity people would
get after her, and she would move,
kept moving around. Every place she
went she had a different name. Her
favorite name was Dewey. She had a

Co-Operative Agriculture.

The department of agriculture has
prepared draft of a bill for use by
states desiring to provide for the or
ganization Of non stock agricultural
and horticultural cooperative associa
tons, an effort being made in shaping
the bin TO conform to the Clayton
amendment to the antitrust laws.
which exempts from the operation Of
hese lawns labor, agricultural and hor-
ticultura organizations instituted FOR
the purpose of mutual help and not
having capital stock or conducted for
profit. 1t is stated that by the
principle OF agency it is sought to
safeguard the non profit feature Of
such an organization, which Is to act
exclusively as an agent for its mem
| hers, and, if L performs similar sery-
ices for a non member, IS to render
/ such services at cost It is declared
+ that this feature is absolutely essen
tial to thu operation Of associations
formed under such d law; although the
department takes pains to add that It
has no power to give authoritative
rulings as to the antitrust laws, and
+ that persons desiring to make use of
! its draft should seek the advice of
competent counsel.
The provisions of the department 5
/ bill are interesting. They would per-
nit the association, as agent for its
members, to perform services connect
ed with the production preservation,
drying, canning, storing, handling,
utilization marketing or sale of agrl-
cultural and horticultural products
produced by them. The bill would also
permit the association to perform for
its members, in a similar way, ser
vices connected with the purchase or
hiring of supplies, including live
stock, machinery and equipment, and
the hiring of labor. The membership
of such organizations would be limited
to persons engaged in agriculture OF
horticulture. Membership would be
non transferable. and each member
would be entitled to one vote only to
be delivered in person or by mailed
ballots. Voting by proxy would not
be permitted
Obviously, this bill aims to develop
on large scale a cooperative prln
ciple which is already in vogue II
some states. We have it exempilfiee
in New Hampshire in the Potato Grow
ers association and other agricultural
organizations. It's value has been fully
demonstrated, and so far as is known
its operation has never conficted will

A journalistic Tragedy.

Many a bitter journalistic tragedy has
