WOULD SET OUT NUT TREES
idea Of New York MAN. for Practical
" and Beautiful >Adorhment Of
The. Highways.

A correspondent writing to the edi-
tor of a New York paper suggests a
thought that has probably occurred to
very few persons interested in the
adornment Of Observation-Disclosures with
trees, but that may be the ~forerunner
Of a new" idea in such decoration, re-
marks the Christian Science Monitor.
His suggestion, in brief, looks to the
planting Of productive as well as SIM
ply ornamental trees, preferably nut
trees, because the 'common fruit trees,
having been cultivated for generations,
are more or less spoiled children, re-
quiring continued cultivation If they
are to be happy" Such planting, he
says would combine the Greek idea Of
utility and beauty; yet his WI expe-
rience with fruit trees on the border
of a private estate suggests a diff
Guilty. for the trees were ruined by the
Needless way in which a miscellaneous
public gathered the fruit. Nuts would,
perhaps, present less temptation, and
there is, of course. hope that the pub
I:c. once 1t individually realized that
Identifying the common highway was
one important function of the trees,
would be more careful in its treatment
of them. Meantime, the setting out Of
any trees at all is an important step
in the right direction. =

Advantage in Owning Home.

- Aside from the manifest advantage
Of owning a house when houses are at
a premium, the family which owns its
W home strikes roots deeper into the
sOii than do those who move from one
part OF the city to another as convent.
enc Dictates Their children go to the
same school and the same Sunday
school year. after year. Teachers and
friends have time to grow interested in
them and to make plans for their i'm
provement or pleasure. The heads of
the family take their duties as citizens
seriously. because bad government
reacts on them directly in the form of
increased taxes which they see and
feel. Of curse. the rentpayer pays
taxes indirectly. but so many other
elements cOmplicate the rate of rent.
ais that he hardly thinks of taxation
as one of them. The home owner, too.
takes a greater interest in local i'm
provements, because he expects to
stay in the neighborhood long enough
to get the benefit of them. Home own
ing involves responsibilities. but the
man who faces responsibilities is u.s.
ually a stronger man, a better hus-
band and a better. citizen than the
man who lodges them.

BOTTINEAU. NORTH DAKOTA

the supreme court justices is thoroly
in line with such a policy. It is true
the forces that control the I. v. A.
have always been bitterly opposed to
the recall, especially in reference Of
Judges. They have contended that
judges must have the utmost freedom
in making decisions. The people, they
have argued, cannot intelligently pass
upon intricate points of law.
But the supreme court, in the rail-
road rate cases, sinned past all. for
giving, from the big business stand
point. The supreme court made it pos
sible for the people of North Dakota
to save from $2,O00,O 900 per year in
intrastate fares and rates-which sum
the railroads ~perforce lose. So a ma
jority of the supreme court must go.
Of course, if a recall is held, it will
not be based upon the courts decision
in the rate case. That decision was
unanimous, and the railroads propose,
according to report, to recall only
three Of the five justices. But the rate
decision would not be a popular one
or which to go before the voters. The
recall will be sought, on the contrary,
on the ground that the three justices
are free lovers, Socialists, subservient
to Townley lin spite of the fact that
the I. V. A. press has recently read
him out of the League) and all the
rest of the I. V. A. "arguments."
Ordinarily the railroads and their
attorneys would know there could be
no hope of. such a recall. But they
believe at present the League is fl
nancially embarrassed, and that, with
a good healthy I. v. A. campaign
fund, victory can be achieved, and q
supmere court and attorney general
be elected that will be able to complete
the destruction of the farmers pro-
gram, which the gambler-big banker
raid of farmers prices and the I. v.
A. initiated laws have begun, as they
hope.-The Courier News.

AMERICAN LEGION NEWS

Establishment of a radio depart
ment for receiving wireless news and
keeping in touch with American Lee
gion posts throughout Louisiana is
announced in a recent issue of The
Pelicanaire, the official newspaper Of
the Louisiana department of the Le-
gion.
Through cooperation with amateurs
in towns in which there are Legion
posts, a constant liaison will be main
tanned between the Legion newspaper
and the local posts. Arrangements
have already been made for this SER
vie from Shreveport, Opelouses and
Franklinton to New Orleans where
The Pelicanaire is published. BY the
use of the radio service, the press
sheets Of news from all over the world
sent out daily from the Arlington sta
ton will be received by the Legion
organ. This service is conducted by
the United States Navy for it's bat
tleships and stations.

A RECALL?

Undoubtedly there are many enc
mics of the farmers program who
welcomed as a godsend the attack of
the grain gamblers on farm prices.
They saw in that slashing of farm
values the coming Of a financial crisis
that would enable them the more ef-
fectively to push their plan, in connec-
tion with Wall Street, to deny all
credit to the state Of North Dakota
and so crush the farmers program.
And the alleged proposal to recall

Although the victim of, a murder in.
Jacksonville, Mo-, was a former ser
vice man, members of the American
Legion post at Moberly, Mo-, a town
nearby, were c6ol-headed enough to
quiet~a mob Of enraged citizens, which
threatened to resort to mob violence.
The Legionaires were successful in
persdading the angry crowd to per-
NIT the man accused Of the murder
to be placed safely in jail to await
trial.
Following the action Of the United
Service Post Of the American Legion
in Bronx county, N. Y, which sent
representatives to Washington to fight
the passage Of the proposed "blue
laws by Congress, other posts in all
five boroughs Of New York have put
themselves on record against the pro-
posed legislation. In New Jersey,
Hubert Rookie Post, Of Teaneck, ex-
pressed, a similar sentiment.
