PROTECT THE LAUREL

Our mountain laurel, Kalmia lati-
foIia, is one Of our most beautiful ma
tive shrubs, both when covered with
it's wonderful masses Of pink and
white flowers in early summer and
during the rest of the year on account
of it's rich foliage. Being an ever
green, which few Of our native shrubs
are, it makes g. striking feature in
winter landscape.
Laurel Is distributed from Canada
to Florida, and 10 a typical feature Of
our New England woods and pastures.
Not occurring in other countries, it Is
an essentially American plant, and 1t
should be our pleasure and duty to
protect it from destruction; but it's
very beauty and charm induce cutt-
ing to an alarming extent. It is gath
cred EXTENSIVELY twice a year. In sum-
mer the flowers are taken fcr church
and house decoration. In winter the
inroads are much more extensive and
dangerous, Enormous quantities are
then used for festoons, wreaths, ETC.,
in the Christmas dressing OF churches
and the decoration Of balloons. AS
it is. then cold weather, the foliage
keeps we'll and bears transportation
ito. a distance. SO that the quantity
eolleetsd ia only limited by the de-
mand and the available material. It
is to be noted that this cutting Ia all
from wild laurel growth. not from
plants which are grown for this pur-
pose, although it is a shrub easily
cultivated,
The flowers are borne only upon the
shoots of the previous years growth.
SO that if these are cut, a years
Towering is lost: and, when looking
at long festoons Of laurel leaves, it is
saddening to think of the great guam
tfty of blooms that has been destroyed
for the next summer in this truly ex-
travagant winter decoration.
The owner of laurel swamp re-
Gently gave permission to a florist to
get "a little Laurel for Christmas dec

and devasted the place, so that there

a most serious effect in localities

Of preserving for the enjoyment of
future generations the beauty of oul
woods, swamps, and pastures where

| When laurel is to be gathered al

moderation, not in excess; cut at a
distance from the roadsides, thus
leaving uninjured these plants which

be done to check it's use as a winter

MAYOR WILSON
ON DEFENSIVE

Defends His Warrenite
Pavement Contracts and
Bonding Measure.

The 10 questions hurled by William
p. Kirk, Democratic mayoralty can
didate. at Mayor Clifford B. Wilson
have thrown the Republican machine
On the defensive. Mayor Wilson. I'M
like himself in former campaigns. has
condescended to recognize the oppos-
ing candidate. He tried to answer all
of Kinks questions with the excep-
ton of one, the fourth, at a rally last
night.
Although he and John T. King have
the ruling word over the Common
Council, which now has a, Republican
membership of 81, Wilson laid the
blame on the aldermen in answering
Kinks seventh question, which was:
DO you still believe that the people
should be prevented from voting on
bonding measures?" In passing the
buck to the council the mayor failed
to explain that all matters were
thresaed out in caucus and that al
dermen were reprimanded if they
voted contrary to Orders
In answering the warrenite question
the mayor said waivers were granted
because 1t was a patented pavement
and was the best obtainable at $1.20
a square yard AS a matter OF fact
the city has paid on the average OF
$1.s0 a square yard. Wilson did not
tell his listeners the latter fact.

TURN TO HAYTI
FOR SUGAR SUPPLY

Co-incident with the urgent appeal
OF Food Administrator Hoover to re-
duce the consumption of sugar, is a
concerted effort of American interests
to increase the growing of sugar cane
in the Republic of Hayti, reviving,
even in greater volume than historic
ally recorded, its production Of raw
sugar.
P. W. Chapman, New York and
Chicago banker, who is president of
the Haytian American Corporation,
has written a letter to Mr.. Hoover, Of
fering, the government full co-opera-
ton of his interest to stimulate sugar
production in Hayti at the earliest
POSSIBLE moment.
1t is estimated that Hayti will, I'M
der favorable conditions, assist ma
terially in relieving the sugar shortage
condition by February or March of
the coming year:
In 1904 Hayti supplied all the cane
sugar consumed in France and much
for the rest Of the world, but from
the time Hayti declared its indepen-
dence in 1904 until the United States
tab1ished it's protectorate in 1915,
political restrictions deferred the de-
velopment Of this Island. conceded to
be the most fertile Of the West In
dies. However. as soon as the United
States government assumed control
new energy and capital asserted it
self. especially in the sugar indus
try.
The United States consumption OF
sugar averages about 90 pounds per
year per person. The Food Admin
ist,ation has asked the saving Of seven
ounces per -sek per person, and II
this were done, it would still leave us
per capita consumption of 81 pounds
per annuna, as compared with the 26
pounds in England, IS pounds in
France. and IL pounds In Italy that is
now being allowed their people.
