OAK FRESHEST FOR CITY STREETS
 IN ALL SECTIONS
Government Issues Bulletin on Most DelSrahIe Fol- lage For Street
 Planting

Oaks arc considered by the United States department of agriculture to be the best trees for street planting It Is probable that oaks have not been more widely planted because of the prevalent belief that they are slow growers .and because in the north they are rather difficult to transplant. A white oak. however. which Is one of the slow-growing varieties, will reach the same height as 6 sugar maple ins the same period of time, and naples have been used much more widely than oaks for street ornamen- tation, despite many unsatisfactory characteristics.
 A new farmers bulletin. No. 1908. Trees for Town and City Streets" by F. L. Mulford, horticulturist, issued by the United States department of ag- riculture, describes in detail the va- rious oaks for street use in different regions. as well as about 100 other trees or varieties. Films are given

AFT AIRS OF ANATOL. GALAX ATTRACTION
Gloria SWanSo and Wallace Reid Co., Stars in DeMilIe'S
 Comedy Drama

"The Affairs of Anatol." one of the greatest comedy dramas ever film ed with a cast of incomparable mag nitude and directed by Cecil B. De- Mile. will be the attraction at the Galax theatre. Few pictures ever released have boated of so many stars in the cast. while critics have withheld no praise in describing this attraction.
 Gloria Swanson and Wallace Reid have the main roles. but the cast con- tains names almost equally famous in parts which call for the best that is in them. Anatol is young mar ried man who still lives in the age of chivalry, when knights went around rescuing ladies in distress. This Is the role MT. Reid portrays and he getin many amusing situations and complications. while Miss Swanson is delightful as the wife, who has to see her husband saving ladies.
 The story as a whole is a drama with comedy that brings out the most refreshing entertainment. And it Is staged with the artistry which has made MT. DeMille famous. In addi- tion to the stars mentioned above the list of famous players includes such celebrities as Wanda Hawley, Theo- dore Roberts, Bebe Daniels, Elliott Dexter, Monte Blue, Julia Faye, Theodore Kosloff and others.

There are some men in Con-
gress who are conscientious in
their stand for the soldier bonus.
They are relatively few. The
New York Herald respects them,
as it always respects men who
stand for and fight for the thing
they believe in. The sickening
fact about this bonus legislation
is that an overwhelming per-
centage of the men in Congress
openly for the bonus are secretly
opposed to the bonus. In private
conversation they declare them
selves against it; in public utter
ances they declare themselves
for it. One Congressman recent
ly went so far as to say that, if
a poll of congress were taken be-
hind closed doors, it would show
more than 80 percent of Con-
gress was against the bonus.
Pressed as to his own stand, he
