Buenos Aires, July 27.-German
electrical goods, everything from
light globes to generators for huge
power plants, are pouring into this
port, and at cost, laid down in the
customs house, SO per cent lower
than prices quoted by American
firms for the same kind of goods. Ger

the electrical and steel line, from
small hardware to locomotive, at a
price from so to so per cent lower

American importers say they are
not alarmed at the influx of cheap
German goods. They attribute the
low prices at which the Germans, are
able to do business to the surplus
stock and the low value Of steel for

Decision That viii Be Of Interest to
Many Communities Throughout

In Salem, Mass, resident sued the
town gas light company for damages
caused by the killing of five shade
trees through the escape of gas from a
leaky main. A verdict for $1,000
against the company was rendered.
$500 a tree. The decision is said to
have been awaited with good deal
of interest by surrounding towns, for
tree killing from this cause is COM
mon thing. 1t has happened many
times in Indianapolis, according to re-
port, though complaints have not been
heard lately with the frequency that
characterized them lack in the days
when natural gas was piped through
the streets, hastily and no doubt often
carelessly. FL.
The killing Of thrifty, well-grown
shade tree is usually distinct loss to-
any property, commonly lowering it's
value. In view Of the time required
for the growth of such trees 5000 is
q moderate sum in the. way of damages,
and no amount of money, when it
comes to that, can really recompense
the owner of the trees. They have to
him, especially if he planted and cared
for them, sentimental value that dol
lars cannot measure. They have added
beauty to his home and he has counted
them among his treasures. To a real
tree lover, beautiful tree, whether
his own or not, seems almost to pos
sess personality Of it's own and to
see it struggle for life and gradually
die, brings real sorrow. 1t is to view
calamity.-Indianapolis Star.
