ECONOMIC VALUE OF BEAUTY
Good Points Made by Governor Lake
of Connecticut in Arbor and
Bird Day Proclamation.

Governor Lake of Connecticut in his
proclamation appointing Arbor and
Bird day made some excellent points.
He recommended that all citizens, but
particularly the teachers and pupils
in schools, observe the day and-added Z:
Let the pupils of our schools be
taught that the planting and care of
shade trees, tile projection of birds and
their eggs, Is not only an economic
measure, but contributes to the beauty
of our state and the enjoyment of our
homes. further recommend the for
nation of town and village improve
ment associations to encourage tree
planting and bird protection and to
exercise interested care over matters
relating to the scenic beauty of our
towns and cities. ,Well-kept roads,
streets and lawns enhance the value
of property and promote the general
welfare of towns and villages"
Observe especially the last sentence (:
"Well-kept roads, streets and lawns
enhance the value of property and
promote the general welfare Of towns
and villages"
Here 10 official recognition Of the
economic value Of teauty. Common
experience shows that Governor Lake
is right. II every community continues
it's cleanup until every lawn is we'll

The editor of the Townley organ
in Walsh county, the Park River
Peoples Press, has been criticising
the present state administration for
not making farm loans in Walsh
county. Editor Hager Of the Graf
ton Record retorted by showing that
the Townley Industrial Commission
did not make a single farm loan in
that county during the five years
they were in Office. Since then the
Nonpartisan editor has been like the
little boy who was asked a direct
question-he had nothing to say.

SELECT TREES WITH CARE


tom with most people to plant trees
without regard to the ultimate purpose
they would serve. Little thought has
been given as to the most suitable va
rieties for planting or that there might
be sections along the roadway where
1t would be of advantage; to cut the
existing trees, and in this way make
the roadside scenery more interesting
and attractive. A closer study of the
problem, however, shows that there
are two distinct types of roadside
scenery. The first may re said to be
where the trees, shrubs, buildings and
other objects that border the highway
form the element of the picture, with
the roadway as a central feature.
Many places along the roadside have
no inducements whatever as to special
.attractiveness, and in fact, the seen
cry may be Of decidedly monotonous
character. It is in such q place that
one may feel at liberty to plant ac-
'cording to the so-called closed type.
: The second type can be used where
the wide meadows, fields and distant
landscape compose the picture, with
the roadside trees as frames. Exam
piles of this type may be found In
many sections of the state, where
beautiful vistas could be enhanced by
the presence of suitable shade trees.
In many cases, trees along the high
way form screens so as to break up
the long stretches of views along
openings here and there which make
more attractive the roadside scenery.

week that the Chronicle published
the commissioners proceedings a
week before the Pioneer Express,
the official paper. At the same time
the Chronicle was printing the pro-
cecdings in condensed form, the
same week the Pioneer Express prin-
ted them vervatim. The editor of
the Chronicle is true to the advise
Mr.. Townley gave to Senator Mees.

Three Cheers for the High School.

The following was taken from the
Streator (Illinois) Free Press, and
is pblished at the request of Prof,
Lish, of the Toilette schools:
1t has come-our first great grand.
child.
For many years now the advent Of
each alumni baby has been heralded;
then later came few grand children,
but this is the first, if our informa-
tion is correct, great grandchild.
Unfortunately the first class can
not claim her, that honor coming to
one of the second class graduates. 4
Mrs. Ella Cooper Lish, the first
grandmother, has now the additional
honor of being the first great grand
mother The order is Ella Cooper
Lish, Lucille Lish Foster, Mildred
Foster Weeks, and now the latest,
Patricia Lou Weeks.
Patricia Lou should have silver
cup from the alumni. Who will at
tend TO- it?
The Weeks family live N Chicago,
Mr.. Weeks being the manager Of one
of the Piggly Wiggly stores there.
The little lady arrived last Friday,
missing her cousin, Dorothy Cool
idge's birthday, by one day. Just
what degree of cousinship and how
far removed has not been worked
out.
But it certainly makes us all feel .
little older when we think that Ella
lash is a great grandmother. Why
it was only the other day that she
wrote poem for some Of our liter
ary societies on the sublime subject,
"The Sloppy Tea.' -
Mrs. Lish taught in the Streator
schools both before and after her
marriage, II I am not mistaken.
Patricia Lou, we welcome you.
We're glad tho stork has brought
her,
Alumni crowd Is very proud
OF it's first great granddaughter.

HARDIN NGFIGHT|NG
 POLITICS PLAY ) BY HOUSE MEMBERS
ResentS Attitude of Repub- licanS on Bonus and Army
 Measures - DiSlikeS
 "SChOolboy" Tactics
Ky HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The AEe-Herald.
 800 Davidson BuIldiua

Washington, March 24.-(SpeciaIN ! For the first time since his inagura- tion. President Harding has his back up" in determined fight against the members of his own party in the House.
 It Is understood that he has ex- pressed resentment at the statement alleged to have been made by cer- tain House leaders that irrespective of his attitude he would accept any kind of a bonus bill, or any drastic reductions in the army and navy.
 At any rate, it Is learned that he disapproved of the intention of House leaders to play politics for it's effect cn the forthcoming elections, anl ab- soiutely declined to join with them in their game.
 It is reliably reported that if the Senate concurs in the action of the House in favoring bonus bill which carries no legislation for the raising of the money necessary to pay the bonus, he will veto the bill; and that If the bill finally to emerge deal ing with the army and navy unneces- sartiy cripples those branches of the service, and tentatively assails his pferogatiNe as commander-in-c chief, he will likewise veto that bill.
 The House is evidently under im- precision that irrespective of the fate of these measures. it's individual record will be satisfactory to the country. The President, il is under stood, had found no pleasure and has sc expressed himself, in such school boy tactics.
 The House has a constant friend in the Senate. It can enact any kind of legislation in knowledge that the Senate will give 1t consideration, It daily passes it's responsibility to the Senate.
 Respecting the bonus, it is likely that the Senate will attempt either to provide revenue for it's payment, or suffer it to finger in committee. The House was afraid to consider new revenue features for fear lest democrats and independent republi- cans would amend the bill by attach ing a provision increasing excess profit and surtax rates.
