emphasis when the question was put
TO him as to wether the Democratic
national committee would take any
action with regard to the peace
treaty.
"The President Is reported to be
strongly opposed to accepting any
reservations whatever to the pact" II
was remarked. "Wiil the committee
express its approval OF that stand?"
"We' will undoubtedly support the
President in all he has done TO bring
permanent peace to the world" Chair
man Cummings replied. His position

returned from the conference he
made q tour Of the United States and
spoke very plainly. Still, I am

Chairman Cummings said the Demo-

be one Of vital importance to the

BACKYARD ORCHARD AN ASSET
Can Be Depended Upon to Pay Divl.
dends Of Pleasure and Health
for Many Years.

The orchard behind' the village home
has always been an asset of great
value. We knew one once that had
cherries, pears, plums and apples for
the entire fruit season-early and late
and it yielded enormous dividends of
pleasure and health for full quarter
Of a century.
A few fruit trees may be grown with
profit in the back yards Of cities not
too closely built. One exists in near
by city, where ten years ago a wise
husbandman planted fruit trees in his
back yard, and for ornament set out
Japanese apricots and dwarf ounces in
his front yard. From his trees he now
has two crops, one Of surprising beau
ty during blossom time and an
other of palatable and healthful fruit
later. There are also berries on his
lot in abundance, and a wild goose
plum tree that carries prodigious
crops.
1t may be stated as fact that no
man ever planted fruit trees who did
not thereby become a benefactor

TREES NEEDED ON RoADWAYs
No Reason Why the United States
Should Be Behind Europe In
Matter of Identification.

One of the pleasant impressions
which our soldiers brought back with
them from overseas was of miles of
country roadways beautified with
magnificent trees. In this country
shade tree by the roadside is so rare
as to cause comment. Once in while
during trip of many miles one will
come to a place where some wise man
Of the past has set out In row along
the side Of the road naples or oaks
or elms But an even commoner sight
are the stretches where somebody has
cut down the trees and left the road
way bare and unsightly. Not infre-
quently telegraph or telephone COM
pan1es have gone hacking their way
through stretch of fine old trees.
1t appears that land owner resid-
ing on any country road may cut down
trees along the highway for cord wood
and pillow the land to the very edge
of the road without interference, and
that the law has permitted him to Get
out, saplings in the spring and get %
cents each in reduction of taxes. Pub
lie service corporations, 1t is stated,
also have certain rights under the law
which seem to work to the disadvan-
tage Of private citizens seeking to
beautify the highway adjoining their
property by planting valuable trees.
The State Forestry association will
submit proposition to its entire
membership this fall by letter ballot,
with view to determining whether
codiication and revision Of the states
shade tree laws shall be one Of the
detectives in the campaign for neces-
saFy forestry legislation. The associa-
ton is appealing for the support of
all citizens interested.
This is something which may well
command our favorable attention. The
movement should provide not only for
the protection of such roadside trees
as still exist, but should also make
provision for the replacing of those al

According to G. o. Davis Of the Mil
waukee garden commission, more than
1000 vacant lots are now under cult
walton. One Of the benefits of the
planting of gardens is that it stops
people from using the vacant lots as
dumping grounds for their garbage
and rubbish. The heaps Of refuse
often form breeding places for flies
and mosquitoes.
Yet greater benefits are realized in
the profits derived from the garden
produce. and the healthful exercise
gained in caring for the tracts.

The slight gain effected by using

offset by the excessive deterioration
