War Memorial Tree Planting Increases Throughout T. S

. Rec planting as a memorial in
honor of the men who offered
u their lives to their country is
being taken up widely this fall, and
the custom is one which is not of this
year but of every year. Tree planting
should form a permanent part of the
Improvement programme of every city
and town in the United Statesr says
the American Forestry Association Of
Washington, which is registering all
memorial trees in a national honor
roll and sending certificates of regis
tration to individuals, churches, schools
and patriotic organizations doing the
planting.
The association announces that in
almost every city and town where a
memorial of some kind Is to be adopted
the proper setting OF memorial trees
will be given that memorial.
Another phase OF tree planting is
the Roads of Remembrance" idea
which the American Forestry Associa-
ton finds is being taken up through
out the country. This roadside tree
planting goes hand in hand with the
big good roads building programme OF
the nation. In many States the Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs has
apportioned one mile OF the Lincoln
Highway to a member who Is to look
after the memorial tree planting for
her unit. There Is another plan to
erect a memorial drive in the Lake
Placid country to connect with the
roads leading out of the town. This
plan includes the planting OF memorial
trees in honor Of the men and women
OF Essex county.
The American Forestry Association
will send to any one free a suggested
tree planting day programme. which
gives opportunity for members Of
schools, clubs or patriotic organlza-
tions to take part. 1t urges that all
memorial tree planting be reported
that it may keep its honor roll COM
plete.
Rules for Tree Planting.
For tree planting the following
qualities should DO considered IN about
the order named: Form. hardness or
adaptability. rapidity Of growth. shade
protection. neatness and beauty. At
best tree on a city street is some-
what at a disadvantage and SO some
care should be used In selecting the
best variety for the particular locality
and then they should be planted care
fully and well cared for. Trees are
beautiful or otherwise as they harmo-
nize with their surroundings.
Those that will look well on a narrow
street may not be suited for q wider

among them numbered 33s, and by
gallantry they gained 416 decorations.
These figures are not yet complete.
Nor have any thought that Harvard
men served any more faithfully or
with a greater distinction than other
college men.
The Football Fields Contribution.
THAT much for the service which
the institutions of the higher learning
rendered during the great war. The
story, as we all know now, might be
expanded indefinitely. Any man who
has talked to Pershing, to the British
commanders, to the French command
ers, knows In what a high esteem
they hold the college men OF their re-
spective nations. The cricket fields Of
Eton and Harrow are reputed to have
made the man who forced the Ger
mans back after their great first rush;
the baseball and the football fields of

very poor as from the very rich. and
exactly from the very rich as from the
very poor. In fact American univer-
stiles as a whole clearly typify Amer
lean democracy.
THAT not all Harvard students are
rich boys was proved some years ago
when we attempted to discover how
much money our students earned dur
ing the year, including scholarships.
Rich boys in college are not money
,earners; they are money spenders-
properly so too. The figures remained
incomplete, for not every earning stu
dent reported for the record, but the
total of the Harvard students earn
ings for the year as learned was
$4,000.
THAT showed that a large percent
age, probably from upward of one
third, of Harvard students were
working their way through the uni
versity. And again 1 say that what is
true in this respect of Harvard is
true of the other colleges Of the coun-
try.
"a score of years ago a belief was
current among many people that col
lege was merely a place in which
boys spent very pleasantly four years
in harmless idleness. This was not
true then and certainly it is no more
true now. Any one who lives on the
inside of an American college knows
that the vast bulk of the students are
serious, earnest and industrious. In
deed, II this were not the case, the col
lege boys of the United States would
not have displayed the qualities In war
which now are on the record to their
credit"
Why Help Is Needed.
I asked President Lowell why, with
collegiate affairs progressing at the
favorable rate at which they have pro-
crossed of late years it should be
necessary to call on the public fol-
continuous and increasing support
Because a nations universities are
very precious to it." he replied. Lord
Bacon used to call the university the
| eyes of the nation, and certainly II
is worth while for the nation and fol
/ the individual to keep the eyes in

"The universities are the nations

tons to learning. particularly tc
scientific knowledge, are made within
the universities of the world.
very nearly and very naturally al
the advances in mans control, and
kman's control has been the source Of
our prosperity and well being, have
resulted from discoveries made in the
universities.
And there is still another sense ir
which the universities are a nations
eyes, for nations must see through
men who think, and the object of the
universities is to make men think
to think correctly, to marshal facts
to draw correct conclusions from
accurate premises. 1t cannot bt
denied that the great danger threat
ening civilization at the present mo.
ment is careless thinking, which in

quent consultations WITH her lawyers.
The divorce action was filed and the
kindly judge issued an order that
Col. King pay temporary alimony and
lawyer costs, as is customary
Col. King made no reply to the
action for divorce. Hon. Ben Gold
berg, Madam Kings, able attorney, in
due course, took steps to have the
case tried.
Hon. Herschel B. Freyberger, with
a face registering surprise, asked
what all that meant. Judge. Gold
berg told him. The very competent
Fryberger declared that an answer
had been made and that he was not
in default. When shown that he was
mistaken, Fryberged dug up his an
swer to the complaint from his files,
his face and voice still registering
surprise that things were as they
were.
Then Bess Cairncross, who. had
done detective work for Madam King,
began to cool off and to suffer from
lapses of memory. A woman in
Superior, at whose house it was al
legged Col. King and Madam Garceau
had lived as man and wife, became
bashful to an extent that she refused
to come to Duluth as a witness.
Madam Garceau, too, showed
spunk. She did what she could to

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10
Especial to the Ripsaw, Iceboat Dis
patch, via the Craig Lake-to-Ocean
Route. .)-Gustaf Lindqvist, of Min
nesota, is at the Capital. Gustaf
Lindqvist, maker of generals, gov
erncrs, vice-presidents, private secre-.
tary to Gov. Burnqvist, of the Gopher
state, and former Skandia Life Insur-
ance magnate. has just arrived at the
seat of federal government.
Mr.. Lindqvist is in Washington to
confer with other prominent national
republican leaders on matters per-
tanning to the approaching presiden-
tial campaign; also for completing
arrangements with Republican Ma
tional Chairman Hays to give Gov.
Burnqvist second place on the na-
tional ticket of the G.. O. P. next year.
Although a power in Western poll
tics, Mr.. Lindqvist modestly disclaims
personal credit for the approaching
G. o. P. landslide. His mission in
detail is best understood from a state
ment most graciously given your cor
respondent by the Mark Hanna Of
the West. In a formal interview to-
night, he said:

All these things had the effect of
shaking Madam Kings nerve. Kind
ly kinfolks came up here from Mich
igan and advised her to get out Of the
mixup as quickly and as advantag-
eous1y as she could and then 60 back
to her aged mother.
AS the result of some mighty fine
wire-pulling, Madam King finally
agreed to accept a divorce and make
a private money settlement with the
youngest old man in these parts. She
turned him back his house, furnish
ings, engagement ring and large por-
trait and, in lieu thereof and her
dover right, accepted between $4,000
and $1,000 of Kings cash.
Madam King Immediately went
back to Michigan and Col. King may
have started promptly for Oliver,
where he is creditited with being a
silent partner in the Ruth & Nc
Kinney saloon and where his profits
are running several thousand of dol
lars day, so some of the boys say.
"Never again for me-" shuddered
Madam King as the train rolled out

Colonel william Frank King, the
youngest old man in Duluth or Su-
perior, If not Oliver, is minus an
other helpmeet. BY decree of the
district court, William, Frank and
Lizzie King have been unscrambled.
Where they were one, they now are
two.
Less than two years ago, both
William and Lizzie were unattached,
unincumbered, with big, warm
hearts beating anxiously for soul
mate. They met, they loved, they
wed.
Mrs. Lizzie Young resided in
Vicksburg, Mich. As all well
know, Col. William Frank lived in
Duluth. When he was about to
go to his nuptials in the Wolverine
state, he engaged the bridal cham
ber at the Spalding and, with a
grand wave of his arms, exclaimed:
<"Get that room ready! I'm 60
ing after her!"
Although fifty summers had pass
ed over Madam Lizzie's, head and
she had picked one lemon in the
Garden of Love, her warm, tender
heart beat in anticipation.
II cannot but be happy with my
King" she exclaimed to her friends.
Col. King is represented as hav-
ing passed himself off as a promi-
nent Duluth millionaire. He also
got it into his 62-year-old head that
his prospective bride was possessed
of roll of long green entirely too
large to go into her silk stocking
leg bank.
Even before the marriage cere-
mony was read by fashionable
clergyman in the Michigan city, Col.
King got tip that his future wife
had much smaller roll than he
supposed and that it was tied up
entirely too tightly for him to get
his hands thereon.
On the way to Duluth, SO Madam
Young-King alleges, her newly &C
quired spouse told her that he had
been involved in, an Illicit amour
with one Madame Garceau, another
mans wife.
"That's all over with" declared
the colonel. II now am through
with her."
Soon after the couple settled
down in the Kingly castle at 1925
Jefferson ST., love seemed to take a
quick flight out of the window.
Madam King believed that Col. King
was consorting with his former
flame. Anyway she so charged in
her application for divorce; that he
staid out nights; that he failed to
come home for supper; and that he
was not at all a model, loving, pro-
tecting, generous hubby. -
Before Madam. King sued for di-
vorce. she took an automobile load
of officers, lawyers, detectives and
friends to 709 Eighth avenue E.,
where Col. King and Madame Gar
ceau were yanked out Of their warm
beds In chateau Garceau and hailed
to the cheerless police station. There
they cooled their heels until q late
breakfast hour, when they were
sprung" by the noted law firm of
Herschel B. Fryberger.
Fireworks followed. Col. King
swore like a trooper in ancient Flan-
ders. Mrs. King put firm resolu-
tion on her comely face and had fre-

peditious in examining and prescrib-
ing for his patients, was sought out
by an army man whom he "polished

the patient was leaving, he shook
hands heartily with the doctor and
said:

OLIVER SOON WILL HAVE
BUS SERVICE.

Oliver, Wisconsin, that famous
little playground for thirsty folk,
now has high promise of an eff
cient bus service between the end
of the trolley line at New Duluth
and the oasis across the river,
back of the big steel plant.
The city commissioners in Du.
luth refused to license a bus SER
vice proposed by three foreign
gentlemen. That meant walk,
walk, walk for bibulous boys not
owning their own Henry Fords.
Now comes Hon. Charles Rebek
with a promise that he will estab-
lish first-class bus service and
conduct same through Wisconsin

interstate matter and entirely be-
yond the jurisdiction Of the carp
