TREES TO ADORN HIGHWAYS
Common Sense Plan That Has Been
Accepted With Enthusiasm by
Many States and Cities.

when 1t comes to a memorial to
the soldier-dead, what on earth could
begin to equal a fine parkway with its
array of trees of remembrance?" asks
American Forestry (Washington). A
thing of beauty and a joy for many
generations, 1t will keep green the
memory of the heroes of the great con-
fiict and be as well a source of comfort
to the living, argues this magazine, and
adds eloquently:
by all means let us have trees Of
remembrance. Let us have them
abundantly and for every possible
memorial. They are the true monu-
ments, the living memorials God has
provided to hallow the hottest mem
cries of every person and of every
race"
Much is being done all through the
country to this good end. Chambers
of and similar organizations
have been quick to see the value Of
the idea. In many places fruit and
~nut-bearing trees are being planted in
memorial highways. The state of
Michigan, for example. will plant its
Victory highway from Port Huron to
Chicago with apple trees. One can
easily picture how such a highway
will look when those trees are in full
bloom. A cross of living trees along
roads county-long and countrywide Is
planned by Bibbs county. Ga, as her
memorial. Hamilton, Ohio, proposes
for her tribute n beautiful boulevard
along a river, planted with trees;
Brooklyn, too, plans to honor a his
toric road as a memorial boulevard

CARE FOR BREEDING CATTLE
Have Both Cows and Herd Bull in
Good Physical Condition to Insure
Uniform Calf Crop.

If 1t is desired to have calves
dropped In the fall or early winter
months-November-the cows should
be bred In February and March. One
way to insure a uniform calf crop Is
to have both the breeding cows and
herd bull In good physical condition
at this time. A herd bull that has
been left with the wIntering herd to
shift for himself is, as a rule, in poor
condition when the breeding season
arrives, and the chances are that he
will not be a sure, vigorous sire.
The ration for the herd bull should
consist of a liberal amount of rough
ages, such as corn silage, legume hay,
slower, or straw, and in most In
stances, unless In good condition, a
small allowance Of grain. The breed
ing cows should be healthy and vigor-
III at time of calving, otherwise they
should receive in addition to n lib
eral supply of silage, legume hay, or
other roughage, and a small amount OF
grain, in order that they may give suf-
fcient milk to nourish the calves prop
erly and at the same time maintain
their w condition.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
Il is that so many products that are ex-
.ensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
The promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
IN endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of ii.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation 1 nave sold for many years
md never hesitate to recommend. for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
mlts, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
nle."
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of Thousands who have
lsed the preparation, the success Of DR..
Rilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
10 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; ~corrects uri-
larry troubles and neutralizes the uric
icid which causes rheumatism.

SAVING for Homes.

1t is CHEEKY and inspiring to read
that many hundreds of small deposit
tor are starting savings accounts with
the banks in the city, their purpose
being to accumulate funds with which
to purchase or construct homes. Their
action is n substantial contribution to
the solution of the housing problem In
the city. They are beginning at the
foundation, a very solid foundation.
Their plan will aid the city and they
will have n vast benefit personally
from systematic savings. They will
have n new purpose in life, a plan to
be completed, a task to be done. The
man who nurses his ambition to live
under his own roof has made himself
a better citizen by developing that am
bition. He will be n better citizen
for the community, because he will
have a deep interest In the right de-
velopment of the city.-Ohio State

BEAUTlFY THE RURAL SCHOOL
With Careful Planning, the Cost Of
Making Building and Grounds
Attractive Is Negligible.

Did o ever see a rural school that
had a winding and attractive path that
led to Its door? If you have it is well,
for 1t is rare, remarks Elizabeth L.
Cowan in the indianapolis Star.
Usually there is no semblance of q
walk, but should there be one, 1t is the
stiff, straight, concrete one that Is
suited to the artificiallty Of city life.
In connection with the, campaign that
the state department of education
expects to put on for the improvement
Of rural schools, 1t might not be amlss
to focus some attention upon the ex-
terror of these schools as well as upon
their lengths of term and their cur
riculi. Every teacher who is now
drawing a salary in a rural school has
unlimited opportunity to leave a me
mortal to her name, in tangible form.
and at the anne time to do great COM
munity service, by setting an example
for all householders in the district.
A new schoolhouse fairly shouts its
newness from the landscape, and for
some strange reason even the old ones
are ugly and unadapted to their sur
r%oundings, even after years of service.
1t is possible to make the school
grounds the most attractive place In
the Northumberland all of this with
out money cost. To be sure 1t Will re-
quire some planning and forethought
on the teachers part, perhaps even a
little physical work, but the most OF
1t will serve as u means of nature
study, agriculture and landscape gar
dening for the girls and boys. They
will be tremendously interested In
making contributions of plants from
their own gardens and in doing the
actual work OF planting and pruning.

PERFECTION OF MODERN ART
Small Wonder Young Lady Artist Elk
uited as She Gazed on Her
Completed Painting.

The young lady looked before her
with entraEced gaze. She looked low
tngly on the purple sun as it rose In
the West.
Her eyes fingered appreciatively on
the bright green sky, with splotches of
red and orange stretched across its
spacious breadth.
Clasping her hands with joy, she
gazed at the fiimsy, odd-looking clouds
Of yellow. splashed across the heavens.
Several fishes were flying in the sky,
while birds could be seer in the waters
below, swimming and drinking.
Then her eyes turned toward where
a few cea liners sped across the
horizon, with sails unfurled; a fisher
mans castle. with the lowly fisher out
side cleaning some fish, seated on a
o~ne-legged stool in a patch of red
grass.

nearly every kind of dairy community
that can be found. The annual report
of the dairy division shows that there
are now about 100 bull associations in
30 different states of the Union, and
among all classes of communities.
The extension men of the dairy d.
vision find that in very many cases,
when the idea of n bull association is
discussed, people think that, while
such an organization is clearly a good
thing on general principles, the con-
ditions in their particular community
are not suitable. Many times, in such
places, 1t has been tried, and to the
surprise of some 1t has been found
that the conditions did not stand In
the way at all. There are many such
communities. They have men en-
gagged in dairying; they have scrub or
other inferior bulls which should be
replaced and they have the need for
better bulls.
Any community in which there are
200 or more cows can better afford
to have a bull association than It can
afford to be without one; and If the
people Of the community are neighbor-
ly and able to work together In every
day business affairs, they can Just as
well have a strong association with
all Its benefits.

COLOR PREFERRED IN BUTTER
That Which Is Not Too Pale is Gen.
orally Favored-ouality Not
Always Affected.

The color Of good butter should be
clear and even throughout. Although
the shade of the color does not always
affect the quality Of the butter, pref
erence is generally given to hat which
is not too pale In color. When the
ream Is churned at too high n tenn
perature, the butter quickly,
but loses much of its natural color.
Churning at too low n temperature,
and consequently for too long a time,
also destroys the color Of the butter
produced. Color in butter is often
spoiled through ~overwashing or over
working It. Butter is of n paler color
from sweet cream than from rlpened.
as In the former case there Is more
buttermilk in the finished product.

FOR CLEANING MILK BOTTLES
Cold or Lukewarm Water Prevents
Hardening and Sticking OF Albu-
men and Casein.

When milk bottles are allowed to
stand, the caseln hardens on them and
when 1t is burned on by the use OF hot
water. If II is necessary to let your
milk bottles stand for any length of
time, II is best to pour cold, or luke
warm water into them, which will pre-
rent the hardening and sticking of the
nlbumen and caseln. Then, when It be-
comes time to wash them, lukewarm
water can be used followed by hot
water, boiling water or live steam.
BY this method. the bottles Will be
.lean, and ali bacteria will be killed
y the hot water.

Obituary.
MRS. w. H. MORRISSEY.

Miss Della Commons was born in
Pittsfeld, Mass, Aug. 10, 1856. When
eight years of age she came west with
her parents who settled near Edgerton.
She received her education in the Ed
gerton public schools, and on Jan. %,
1875, was married to w. H. Morrissey.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morrissey went to Colo
RADIO to live, staying for seven years,
when they returned to Edgerton. They
then built the house on West Fulton
street where they resided until Oct. 22,
1919, when Mr.. Morrissey died.
Mrs. Morrissey has been afflicted with
very severe type of rheumatism for
20 years and has been practically help
less for the past 10 years, yet she pos
sessed a shrewd intellect to the last,
was we'll read and could discuss all the
questions of the day with an under
standing which was astounding. Her
quick wit, clever sallies and good humor
could be excelled by none, and her gen.
ial disposition won for her host of
friends who were always glad to be in
her presence She made her home one
of cheerfulness and kindness, all ma
ture delighted her, flowers and birds
being her particular hobbies. During
her 20 years of suffering she was never
known to complain, but bore her cross
most bravely. Since Mr.. Morrissey's
death she has failed in health quite
rapidly and when pneumonia developed
last week her overtaxed strength could
not battle the disease, so she lived only
a few days.
Mrs. Morrissey died on Saturday, Jan.
18th, at 10 o'clock in the morning. Be-
sides the wide circle of friends who
will mourn her loss, she leaves five
daughters Mrs. P. H. Donovan. Albert
Lea, Mimi, Misses Mary and Rose
Morrissey of Racine, Miss Alice Nor
rissey of Oshkosh, Miss Jessie Morris
sey of this city, and one son, Henry
Merrissey of Milwaukee. She also
leaves three grandchildren, five sisters
and two brothers.
The funeral was held at st. Joseph's
church Monday morning at 10 o'clock,
interment being made in st. Joseph's
cemetery. The pallbearers were the
Messrs. Henry Johnson, William Bead
ley, B. C. Wilson, James Conway,
Chas. Sweeney and Thos. Westlake.

"A large crowd attended the meet
ing of the Congregational Mems club
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Menhall last Friday evening. The ad-
dress was given by Mr.. Kleist, sales
manager of the Continental Axle COM
pany, who chose for his topic Ancient
Religions and Modern Christianity.
He introduced his talk by saying that
he did not speak as theologian or as
an orator, but as man who has trav-
eied weary road in search and be-
lieved he had found it. As young
man he discovered that he could not
adhere to the doctrines to which his
parents gave allegiance. He went
down the depths to atheism. but was
still more unsatisfed. Through study
and wide reading, the research of
man who wants to know, he has come
to believe Christianity the final religion
ard the solution of our difficulties. Mr..
Kleist reviewed the doctrines Buddhism
and Confucianism and spoke briefly of
the religion of pagan Rome. He point
ed out that the Nirvana of the Buddh-
lists and the Heaven" of Confucius
were in their essence thoroughly self
ish, which is the exact opposite of es-
sential Christianity. Mr.. Kleist frank
ly confessed that he did not know how
tho Uumorn,,o 1op0n;ro fi0rS vuovo 40
ing to resolve, their difficulties and ad-
mitted that he did not believe that the
ritual and "trappings" of churches
were able to make any one Christian,
but concluded as he began, by saying
that because it taught Brotherhood and
Universal Fraternity, therefore Chris
tianity would endure. The address was
received with absorbed attention and
everyone was impressed with Mr..
Kleist's sincerity, no less his study.
