CUT DOWN DEAD
TREES IN CITY
This is Suggestion Made by Man
Who Makes a Tour of Many
Blocks During the
Week.

"Why don't people cut down the old
dead trees around their property"
This question was asked yesterday
by a man who covers considerable
portion of the city in his work every
week, and who has noticed the num-
her OF dead trees which people have
allowed to stand around their property.
There was an epidemic of deaths
among elm trees couple of years ago.
and these poor old ghosts OF trees are
still standing. A number Of trees
have died this year, and the citizen
who has been making the observations
suggests that saw and ak could be
used to advantage. 1t would be an
improvement to the property and to
the streets to have this dead wood re-
moved, he thinks. Perhaps some of
the property owners will take the
came view &C tho matter.

The Term "NationaI Guard.r

The name national guard" is said
to have originated at the time La
fayette visited America in 1924, says
the writer of an Historical Survey of
tie Militia in Iowa, 183S-1S65," pub
lished recently by the State Historical
society Of Iowa. At that time the
name was adopted by the Seventh
regiment Of New York militia in honor
of the distinguished visitor, after the
"garde rationale" of France. In 1852
New York adopted the term national
guard to describe the organized mil
itia of the state.
The first Iowa company known to
have used the name was the volunteer
company called the Sabula national
guards, whose officers were commits
