LITIGATION as good and bad varieties of
trees found along the highways, views
and vistas obtained from the high
ways, the effects of the shade trees on
crops in adjacent fields, the possibili-
ties of the covering of barren embank-
ments and the planting of some de-
sirable sort of vegetation where over
head wires are in large numbers. One
Of the principal features studied was
the condition of the roadbed as af-
fected by the presence or absence of
shade trees.
Few people in the state will be able
to visit the wonderful national parks
of the West, but an increasing number
of people will own automobiles and
use the highways of the state. Many,
If not ell, of these highways may
easily become state parkways of beau
tiful trees and shrubs. Trees grow
like weeds under the climatic condi-
lions existent in New York and with
varied scenery of intense interest the
of the state will eventually
become as beautiful as those of any
other state in the Union.-Green's

SHADE TREES ON ROADSIDES
Nine-Tenths of Highways in New York
Entirely Void of Vegetation
Plan to Improve.

By investigations just completed by
the New York State College of For
estry at Syracuse, 1t has been found
that nine-tenths of the roadsides in
the rural districts of New York state
are entirely void of shade trees. When
this is considered along with the fact
that last year New York state paid out
of the state treasury about $30,000,000
Tor the construction and maintenance
Of road beds, it shows that the state
is not yet awake to the great need
and the great possibilities in rural
roadside improvement.
A preliminary survey has just been
made by 81. r. Francis in charge of
the landscape extension work of the
College of Forestry.
During the survey, studies were
made of such important features in
rural roadside improvement and beau

LOGGING TRUCKS MAKE ROAD
One Type of Car Used in Far West
Has Front Tires of Ten Inches and
Rear Ones of Twenty.

Powerful wide-tired trucks are now
being used in logging regions in Ore
gon and Washington, which virtually
make their own roads as they go. One
type of these cars is described In Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. 1t has front
tires 10 inches wide. An expert
enced driver carefully selects his
course as he goes over route for the
first time and the weight of his ma
chine makes a road as 1t moves along.
A few trips over the same line Of
travel serves to make hard. smooth
surface which will Withstand consid-
cradle bad weather. Four-wheeled
trailers are often used with these
trucks.

Thousands of Farmers Making Direct

The use of the automobile by farm
ers has completely changed the ru-
raj attitude toward motoring, and
tens of thousands Of men are making
direct profits by catering to the pass

there must be a good road, and thus
the lump of rural conservation is leav-
ened to surprising degree.

Peoples War

The one most distinctive quality of the
world war is the fact that 1t is a war or
peoples-that whole nations, so far as they
are physically able, man the fighting line,
and that the rest OF their populations is
organized to aid behind the line. The lead.
ership of great generals, OF great indus.
trial executives is important; but it is not
nearly as important as the whole-hearted
cooperation of every man, woman and
child. doing in their several Jobs the utmost
that is in them. France would fight on
without Joffre or Petain. She would be
lost if the flame of courage and patriotism
within the breasts of her poilus fIickered or
burnt low.
That is particularly true Of the Liberty
Loan, says the New York Tribune. The
most conspicuous announcements naturally
tell Of the large million dollar subscriptions.
But they are not the vitality important items.
They are not really essential to the success.
full financing Of the war. In themselves the
large investors could not possibly finance
the war throughout its course. The people
OF America could-alone. The true wealth
of the country is not in its few colossal
fortunes. 1t is in the rank and file of its
successful, prospecting workers. They CON
itrol the conduct of the war with their votes.
They control it equally by granting or with.
holding their financial support.
That is why the $50 BOND and the 800
bond are the big items in the present loan.
1t is right that the large fortunes should
loan great sums just as it is right that they
should be heavily taxed. But at the bottom
it is the small investor with his fdw dollars
to spare or save upon whom the country
relies. 1t is literal truth. Your 500 Is
quite as important to your country as an.
others millions. There are thousands of
such small savings to one of the large. With
out the small loans the whole undertaking
OF the country must collapse. 81
Therefore, save what you can and loan
what you can. Make the sum as large az
you can. But however small, don't fail to
devote it to your country's needs-to your
cause, to your loan, to the peoples war, the
world over.

What the Soldiers Eat

(Belle Case Harrington in Leslie's)
The old idea that army diet should con-
sist largely on beans, bareback and coffee
is no longer approved. In the present train
.ng camps meat, preferably beef, is served
twice a day, with white bread baked in
the general camp bakery and kept "a hours
before serving. Where green vegetables can
BIZ obtained they are used, otherwise Gained
goods are substituted. Coffee is served at
breakfast, and butternilk, lemonade, tea,
cocoa or water at other meals. Meals, which
in the vernacular are mess or Chow are
served cafeteria style. Every soldier is fur
nished with an outfit which consists of a
meat pan, knife, fork and spoon and a long
handled cup. The cover of the meat pan
serves as a plate, and the outfit IS so ar
ranged that each man may do his own cooh
ing in care Of an emergency. Each man
takes Ills neat pan and passes beiore a Ia
bile where he is served with the various
tishrs L'tpared. He then goes to o tabIs
or if there is none, drops down on the
ground and eats IN absolute contentment.
Don't feel sorry for the boys, even if they
do write longingly home wishes for moth
er's cookies or James friend thicker. Men
In outdoor training have good appetites, and
they are far better off physically than if
fed on the salads and ices and sodas they
probably would have at home. What they
miss most is sweets. If you are sending
things from home put in cookies, candies
and jams or %jellies. MIX chocolate is one
|'of the things a soldier seems to crave, and
a jar Of matted milk will come handy if
he is not feeling well. Be sure not to send
food that is too rich. The boys are o N plain
diet, with extremes of climate, and some
times doubtful water supply-and boys
never do have sense when it comes to eat
ing.

WAGES or FIGHTING MEN
(Thomas F. Logan in Leslie's)

Capturing American "Sammies' is a de
cidedly more lucrative occupation for the
Prussian soldiers than fighting for the faith
erland. When the Kaiser offered O. bonus
of SIS to the first man of his forces in
France who captured an American soldier he
fixed a sum that represents more than
three years pay of a private in the German
army. The pay given American soldiers,
compared with the pay of the British
Tommy, the French poilu, the Italian Alpint.
the German boche and the other fighting
men of Europe, seems handsome wages. The
American second-class private will receive
s33 a month. The French soldier receives
exactly $3.50 less, or s1.50 a month. The
Russian private gets 32 cents a month; the
Austria-Hungarian troops are given 2 IL
a day. Great Britain allows her fight
ing men $3.50 a month at home with an
allowance for service in France.
Mesopotamia and other foreign territories.
Italy ranks second in generosity, allowing a
monthly minimum Of $3.50. Spain compen
safes her soldiers with a monthly wage OF
S4.42; Germany has a wage scale beginning
$1.65; Japan's soldiers at home receive,
IS a year, and Turkey grants her men Sill
a year..

Health of the Soldiers

one Or the comforting thoughts to the
friends at home is the fact that Uncle Sam
is bound to maintain good health among
his soldiers. Even II there were no hu-
name considerations, THIS would be neces-
shry from a purely economic standpoint. Sick
soldiers are a menace. and a regiment not
up to par in the matter of health is an aw-
full handicap. All men are v~accinated for
smallpox, and inoculated against typhoid as
soon as they enter service. Minor disor-
ders, such as blisters, bowel trouble, or
sore throat are carefully watched by the
officers in charge, and there is a hospital
with trained nurses in every camp. No fax
ing can pass. The officers have sharp eyes
to discriminate between real and simulated
illness. AS the boys say, There are only
two times q day when a fellow can get

Vanderlip on Booze

Frank A. Vanderbilt, president Of the Ma
tionaI City bank, New York, The largest
bank IN the country, recently said:
T strongly favor complete national pro
hibition. | believe we are facing a serious
test of our national character and efficiency,
and | am firmly convinced that a national
prohibition measure would be Of transcend
ent Importance in its effect Upon the ma
tional spirit in conserving and Increasing

of the nation.
The man power released from the liquor
industries could be directed into productive
channels, where the need Of labor will be
acute, and thus be readily absorbed.
THE plea that government revenue will
be seriously curtailed should not influence
action, or prohibition will induce a national
efficiency which will open new and far
richer sources OF revenue"

A Force for Progress

The Gallup convention of the New Mexico
Federation of Women's clubs called atten-
ton in a forcibIe manner to the leading
place which organized women are assuming
IN the affairs of the state. Nearly 1000 Of
the best and most progressive women of
New Mexico are enrolled in this organiza-
ton. These 1000 women have now practical.
1y suspended the ordinary club work to de-
vote themselves to patriotic activities sole
~. Their patriotism, as shown by the ex-
ercises and the resolutions at Gallup, is OF
the militant, determined variety. With
this tremendously influential Organization
doing its "bit' individually and collectively
with such a vim as indicated by the state
convention, it is bound to be a considerable
factor in anything New Mexico achieves for
the nations cause. Particularly does this
apply to conservation activities, in which
these women have already taken such a
useful part.
