 During the last two months there have been born in Vancouver hos pi.als and private homes mora than 30 pair of male twins.

Save Your Trees

would say, take care of your trees,
shade or fruit.
l have just finished trimming
some naples and other shade and
fruit trees at the corner of 18th
land G streets for Mrs. Stevens
and found all but two or three out
of 16 which had been topped some
four or five years ago, rotted
down in the limbs from two to
four feet, and two of them clear
down into the body four to six
feet.
The cost to save these two trees
in proper way would be at least
$25, and then you have not put
them back as good as they were,
nor ever can be.
1t takes years to grow them to
10 inches or more through, and |
do not believe you wish to lose
them.
Nine-tenths of the trees | have
seen trimmed are that way; the
one who did it either does not
care for you or the trees or does
not know anything about the life
of the tree.
Why do you top your trees if
it is to get rid of the dense shade?
Why not thin out the top and let
the light through and save the
beautiful shape top and not in
jure your trees by cutting the
top back, at least so far down as
to almost be sure of killing the
tree in the end?
Wherever you leave knot
sticking out on a limb or body of
the tree, you have a rotten spot.
In the first place, these trees l

the empire become forthwith q
republic? That is up to the peo-
pie of Germany to decide. II we
would fight for that, we must fight
also the car. King George and the
other allied royalties.
Then why should we go to war
with Germany? Because of her
militarism? WE MAY be able to
demand some restriction in that
regard after all is settled, provid-
ed we give her ample security
against future wars; but that isn't
what we will fight for; that isn't
necessarily going to be the result,
even if we win.
See here, Charley, we aren't
fighting yet; we're neutral. YOU
aren't, but Uncle Sammie Is. b,
The Germans are a different
people from us; their government
probably suits them better than
ours would.
I'm not excusing Germany for
her outrages; but let's be neutral
till It's time to fight, and then
fight for JUSTICE, PEACE and
LIBERTY-not for the German
people, who don't want our deliv-
erance, but for our own national
and international rights.
When these are secured, let
other nations adjust themselves.
