Among the distance men are Nree-

who will make a good showing. Dean

are showing up good this year.
In the high jump, Barnhart and

season, clearing the 5-foot five mark.
In the weights we have Walker,
Going. and Jackson; all three are
heaving the shot in fine form. Walker
is already heavng the shot nearly 40
feet.
In the javelin, Anderson alone is
the star, while in the discus Som

leading men. Both these men have
fine form and are heaving the discus
Is feet with ease
In the dashes and middle distance
runs there is much available material

Michigan's once splendid for

the part of wisdom to replant
with trees vast areas which
have grown little or nothing
since the timber was taken off,
but this project will require
many years for its accomplish
ment. In the meantime, our
cities and villages can add
greatly 10 their attractiveness
by planting shade trees along
their streets and in their parks
and squares. Young trees suit

obtained at small cost from the
