 The Niagara Barrier
 We overcame another barrier on the Great Lakes when we dredged the St. Clair flats and Detroit River. This cost sixteen million dollars, but it Is done and this and the thirty-two mil lion dollars that we spent for the Soo unlocked the upper lakes and paid for itself many times over. The next improvement to get to the ocean will be the crossing the barrier at Mia gara. This is nearly done.

town intersect with Q circular drive way outside the coping This is a natural setting which Vineland was fortunate in having by systematic tree-planting and parking fifty years ago. Within this circle the memorial was built. Twenty-two evergreen trees, Roster Blue Spruce and Douglas Fir were planted alternately on an inner circle, each tree personifying soldier or sailor who gave his life in the World War. Each tree is desig- mated by a granite marker fourteen inches wide and eighteen inches long and twenty inches high. A bronze plate attached to the beveled top of the marker bears the name, age and data relative to the army or naval service.
 Around the circle a cement walk runs close to the markers from which the inscription may be read. Cement walks lead from the four entrances to the center where there is flower bed fifteen feet in diameter. At the south entrance there is a granite stone seven feet high, bearing the dedicatory in scription in bronze

The pupils planted a tree in memory. of the. former pupil, the only one to lose his NIcWilIiam appointed a member of each class on a committee to care for the tree. Each one of these twelve pupils, upon graduating from his class appoints for the incoming class a member of the Quentin Roosevelt Memorial Tree Committee. Thus there will be at Force School forever a com mittse to care for this tree for the son of the former president.
 Schools of Louisville have taken the lead thus far in tree-planting. More than a thousand trees have been plant- ed by the victory gardeners. At In dianapolis the Technical High School planted 223 memorial trees in honor of her boys in the service.
 The Women's Clubs of the country have organized for statewide tree planting this spring. In Georgia the tree-planting was done in the winter by the Georgia Federation, when S1 memorial groves were planted. In Delaware the Federation is co-operat- ing with the great road building pro gram there in order to have the high ways of the State become one big Road of Remembrance'.

superhuman achievement. The United States and Canada spent thirty-two million dollars getting from Superior to Huron, but it was worth that and more, for it developed a traffic that amounts to over ninety million tons yearly. Lake Superior by this became an integral part of the great chain of lakes, and was no longer left to one side. It is estimated that the Soo has paid for itself five times over in
 one season. The saving on freight that otherwise would go by rail is trem endous. It is so large that every year the necessity for more facilities at the Soo becomes apparent The new lock now building is twenty-four feet. The next one will be thirty feet. It will be needed for wheat, iron. meat, foodstuffs, forest products,
 metals, dry goods-hundreds of com modities that pass daily through the Soo. The agriculture and industry of our country depend largely on it. It

Kennedy, of Charlottesville, Ind, has a tree that he has been watching for sixty years and in telling the American Forestry Association at Washington about it MT. Kennedy, doubtless with out thinking, put a very valuable ser mon into his letter. This part of the letter reads: 'I had twelve trees planted in May, 1902. I placed them in a circle on a slightly rising mound and set them so as to leave a center at least 100 feet across. This will make fine place for a house some day and everybody who sees it ex- claims: What a fine building place." I think those twelve trees have added at least $1,000 to this acre lot. Before I set them out it was a COW lot worth about $2O0. I have talked trees all my life, tried to get all the school boys and
 others to buy a small tract of ground and begin while young to set out trees, but it is difficult to get a boy to
 understand that he will ever be a man and that he ought to prepare for old
 age while he has the strength and am-
 bition. A boy thinks it will take so
 long for tree to grow. but he never thinks the time will go anyway. even
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-05-01

if he does not set out a tree'' There is a great fund for thought in that last sentence. Miss Florence King, the president of the National Woman's As sociation of Commerce of Chicago, told me the other day that in her opinion the living, growing tree was the best example of thrift before the country today for every year it gave forth it's fruit and foliage and its seeds in abundance in it's year by year endeavor to provide more of it's kind.
 Country Is Awake
 That the people are awakening to this view is easily seen in the tree planting reports being received by the American Forestry Association, which is registering all memorial trees plant ed in a national honor roll. This ap- plies to individuals schools, churches, patriotic organizations or clubs plant ing trees Roads of Rem endurance are being planted in various parts of the country. No finer memorial can be erected to the men who offered their lives to their country.

Give any memorial adopted the proper setting of memorial trees and let the people have an intimate part in the commu- nity's memorials part that signing a subscription list cannot give In tree-planting you have started one of the mightiest forces working for characterization.

CT developed from the St. Lawrence River will repay the entire cost of the waterway. The days of OK teams were followed by water transportation, then came the railroads. now we must real ize that if our country is to be per mitted to produce to capacity we must have deeper and more commodious waterways to help out the rail faci1i- ties.
 We dimly realized this years ago and began work on the Great Lakes, deepening channels and connecting rivers, but this is not enough. We had a barrier between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. shoals between Lake Huron and Lake Erie and another bar Tier between Lake Erie and Lake On tario. These have been conquered, but there still remains the task of conquering the rapids of the St. Law renee between Ontario and the Sea. How were these barriers conquered 7? That is a story of tremendous-a1mos

scheme has been practically given up. This Niagara barrier has a fall of 326 feet and the fourteen feet of the old Welland Canal will not admit ordinary lake traffic. The new Welland Canal will open the way for their own and United States commodities to the sea.
 As long ago as 1910 the Hon. Charles B. Townsend introduced into the Senate a resolution requesting the President of the United States to en- ter intoC relations with Canada and Great Britain. looking to the develop ment of the St. Lawrence as an ocean waterway from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic.
 Get your map out, MT. Doubter, and look at those wonderful bodies of wa ter which we call ''the unsalted seas'' The map does not show it but already there flows on them an astounding tide of world commerce. Note how easily they can be connected with the ocean. Finish the Welland Canal and overcome the rapids of the St. Law renee with locks and every farm be- tween the Rockies and the AlIeghanies will increase in value and we shall have an American Mediterranean.
 Canada And United States Work Together
 Now, as to the question of making the St. Lawrence a part of the Great Lakes system. We see great Lake S1- perior, with it's large ports of Duluth and Superior, and other smaller har- bors. We note Lake Michigan, with many harbors besides it's great ones of Chicago and Milwaukee. Iooline down the map we come to Lake Hu- ron and the Detroit river, with the City of Detroit, and to the east, Lake Erie, with Toledo and Cleveland and Buffalo, and up above on the map we see the important port of Montreal connected by rivers
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-05-01

You will note that the St. Law renee can be divided into two sections one an international section of one hundred and thirteen miles along the boundary between the United States and Canada from Lake Ontario to St. Regis, the other a Canadian section. It is the opinion of engineers that the river along the international boundary ought to be improved by works that serve navigation and power simultaneous while the lower river can be more economically inn proved by separate canals for water and power. In other words, while nothing is definitely settled, it is pre- stunned that the plans will provide for drowning out the rapids in the inter national river by two dams, that some way will be devised to improve the Canadian section and that the mini mum depth of the waters will be twenty-five feet. the locks thirty feet in depth and eight hundred feet long, The international part of the river has horsepower equal to that of three Niagaras.
 This project has many adherents Canada and the United States are working together in harmony and such a route will benefit both coun- tries. It is an international and na- tionaI undertaking. Many members i of the United States Senate are in | favor of it, governors of states bor- dering on the Great Lakes support 1t and those interested in Canada claim that with a deep waterway from Fort William to Montreal the reduction of rates on wheat from the west to Liver pool would amount to five cents a bushel. So important was it to get boats to the sea by this route during the war that vessels were sawed in two, fioated down light, riveted to- gether again and put into ocean ser vice

the world. This is not a Western movement. It is national and it's op- ponents are having a hard time hold ing their own. In advocating this movement, John Barton Payne, Chair man of the U. S. Shipping Board, says
 The importance of Chicago alone not only as a manufacturing and packing center, but also as a clearing house for shippers generally west of Illinois, argues strongly for bringing to the highest possible state of accessibil- lty and efficiency all means of freight transportation" Only a few rapids in the St. Lawrence now constitute the barrier that prevents Great Lake boats from going-say from Duluth at the head of the lalSes-to the Atlantic Ocean, and these rapids must be done away with to allow vessels which can be used on the sea to pass. They will be done away with if the efforts of those interested in the Great Lakes are successful. If both nations will unite in the effort to bring about conditions that will enable sea-going vessels to get to the head of the Great Lakes the project can be completed within eighteen months and in possibly three years we shall see boats from Great Lakes ports laden with flour and other merchandise steaming into Montreal harbor and out into the ocean.
 No Great Difficulties In Way
 No staggering engineering problem is presented, the harbor of Montreal has already had much money expend- ed on it, it's site is advantageous and deep water connections with Chicago, Duluth, Detroit, Cleveland and other ports will add material wealth to Canada and the United States. It is already estimated that the water DOW

But, says the man on the street, How does this concern me? I am not interested in the lake traffic or in the sea, have never been on either and don't expect to-how does it concern me?" MT.
