Westminster Adopts Shade Tree
Policy.

In a conference with Mayor H. E.
Koontz on Tuesday afternoon, State
Forester F. w. Besley, outlined plan
for the systematic handling of the
shade tree work in Westminster.
A State law enacted in 1914 places
all trees standing on public highways,
and those in towns standing between
curb line and property line, under
public control. Such trees cannot be
cut down or trimmed without State
permit, which is only issued after a
competent examination and favorable
report has been made
Any one who wants to take down or
trim street tree must make written
application on a blank form which
can be obtained from the Town Clerk
or from Chief of Police, and submit it
to the Mayor and Council for approx
al The endorsement Of the property
owners living on either side of the ap-
plicant's property will usually be re-
quired before a permit for the remov-
al of the tree is issued, and then only
with the Mayors approval. This
plan has been adopted to facilitate the
handling of the local shade tree prob
lem, to simplify the method of secur-
ing permits, and to secure the cooper
alton of town and State authorities in
enforcing the law, a law that places
street trees under public protection
not subject to mutilation or destruc-
tion by the individual who may not
appreciate it's value to the community
as a whole.
There have been recent violations
Of the law through ignorance and
every resident of the town is urged
to cooperate with the town officials
in protecting the shade trees. The
State Forester will cooperate with
the mayor and council in giving ex-
pert assistance in working out the
shade tree problems Of the town

WHAT SUNDAY SCHOOL PRO-
NOTES
Lessons Crime and Brings Cheer to
Community.

NOmWuHltys
Governor Frank B. Willis, of Ohio,
says the Sunday school promotes
square business dealing, lessons
crime and brings good cheer to a
community" In letter to the Rev.
DR.. Rufus w. Miller. General Secre-
tary of the Publication and Sunday
School Board of the Reformed Church,
the Governor commends the Sunday
School Increase Campaign by which
the Reformed churches expect to in
crease their Sunday school member
ship to 100000 in connection with the
400th anniversary of the Reformation.
COmmendatiOn of this campaign"
the Governor writes, on the part of
most any one would be natural and
to be expected, but | want to assure
you that | take an especial pleasure
in commencing and congratulating
you upon your efforts, because Of the
fact that during my term of service
as chief executive of this State, /
have been afforded some opportunity
to realize the great work the Sunday
schools of churches in the city of
Columbus are accomplishing.
TO my way of thinking, the Sun
day school is not only the greatest
asset the church has, but it is also
one of the greatest assets Of the COM
munity. The Sunday school has not
alone a religious value, it has as we'll
a value of sentiment and | might even
venture to suggest that the Sunday
school has in addition a monetary
and economic value.
That community in which the Sun
day school furnishes is one in which
we are not surprised to find a larger
percentage of square business deal
ing, less crime and more of good
cheer. The Sunday school fosters
friendships which ring true, and af-
ter all the one thing most worth
while in life is loyal friend"
In connection with the celebration
of Reformation Day, January 81,
committees will make a canvass in
many Reformed Churches in behalf
of the 100000 Children's Endowment
Fund for the Schaff Memorial Build
ing. In some Of the churches, every
Sunday school class and every family
will be asked to subscribe S. for one
participating share

Alfalfa Soil Preparation.

In a recent bulletin of the Agri-
cultural Department, Washington, an
article on the preparation Of soil for
alfalfa recommends that lime should
be applied after plowing, and prefer
ably three or four weeks before
seeding, in order that it may become
through more frequent harroW1ngs
thoroughly incorporated with the soil.
1t is often practical, especially when
using ground limestone, to apply the
lime to the crop preceding, in order
that there may be time for 1t to be-
come thoroughly available for the
alfalfa.
