PEOPLES FORUM

To the Editor:
On driving over our state, espec-
tally along the Missouri Slope, one
can not help noticing the lack OF
trees. And, trees being one Of the
most useful as we'll as ornamental OF
earth's products, the thought came
to me that it should be an easy mat
ter to get more trees planted in our
state. and at the same time help out
those who were willing to see that
the trees were planted and taken
care Of. Why not have q law put
upon our statutes to this effect:
Anyone who would agree to plant
and care for a ten acre grove OF
trees suitable to this states climate
would have his taxes on said quarter
of land either considerably reduced,
or have it free Of taxes altogether
for q term of years.
At one time in our states history,
q quarter section known as tree
claim was given those who would
plant . ten acre grove on it. Many
times the state was taken advantage
of, there being many tree claims"
without trees But, if some law were
provided along the lines have mem
toned, believe it would result in
countless good to the state. It is q
we'll known fact that trees help con-
serve moisture, and I. believe have
more or less effect on the climate.
The winter doesn't seem nearly SO
severe when in timber country, al
though in actual fact it is oftentimes
colder than on the prairies. The
prairies being open get all the force
of the cold Winds, while the timber
country is sheltered I would like
to have some one who is better in
formed than am to discuss this
question at some length.
We at one time gave the land away
to get trees planted, can we not at
this time think up some way to get
more trees where they are needed
most?
FLORENCE BORNER,
Baldwin, N. D.
N. B. In order to make sure the
proper sort Of trees were planted,
the state could furnish them free
to those wishing to take. advantage
Of the tree law, and an inspector
| should be Furnished to examine the
groves at stated intervals.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CARE
OF THE SECRET DRAWER

I knew it, knew it. littlet Mar
quise. l knew something was go
ing to happen. But sorneway ]
thought the terror which overshad-
owed me concerned Jack. 1t snever
entered my mind that my baby was
threatened.
Yesterday, little Marquise, a-letter
came addressed to Junior and it con-
tanned only five hunderd dollar
bill. There was not a scratch of the
pen by which could by any possi-
bility know the sender. u
l reached down for the envelope
which had dropped from my nerve
less fingers and found the post
office stamp was SO terribly blurred
that l had no way Of finding out
even the town from which it had
come. Yet l know in my own heart
| that no one but my baby's own
mother could have sent him this
money.
When Jack camel home and told
him the story, thought he was go
ing to faint. He looked the bill all
over carefully. He even went and
got the magnifying glass to see if
he could not discern the letters on
the postoffice stamp, but there was
nothing.
We were in the nursery when he
heard this for had asked him to
come near Juniors cradle while I
told him the wonderful news. Look
ing down upon the unconscious baby
head Jack said, "Well, my boy, you
are a rich little chap. If you were
not born with the proverbial silver
spoon in your mouth you are GER
tainly having it handed to you
now"
"But, jack" l said, emo one but
his mother could have sent it,"

WINS s67,5oo FROM
= DUPONT COMPANY
Coal Purchaser Awarded Verdict
by District Court of
Appeals.

The E. I. DUPONT deNemours d Co.
a Delaware corporation, must pay
s6T.500 to Philip NJ. Riefkin, who was
coal purchasing agent for the COM
pany during the world war. The
District Court of Appeals so decided
yesterday in an opinion by Justice
Robb, which reversed the decision OF
the District Supreme Court. A spe-
cial verdict of the jury was taken in
the lower court subject to the deci-
sion of the trial justice as 10 the
right of the piaintif to recover. The
trial court held against the Ipiaintln
and rendered a verdict for the com
pany~ from which Feiefkin appealed.
The Appellate Court says the tudg-
ment should be rendered for the
amount fixed by the jury. The yer-
dict carries interest from December
13. 1920. s,--
Mr. Riefkin left a lucrative posi-
tion with the government in NoNem-
ber. 1917. at the solicitation of the
company on contract for permanent
employment as long as he rendered
satisfactory services and was loyal
to the interests: of the company. He
purchased for the company more than
5000. 900 tons Of coal. yet the company
discharged him in 1919. The com
pany simply concluded that 1T could
get along without. the plaintiffs serN-
ices and. therefore, exercising a
right it assumed it possessed, dis
charged him. This. in the circum-
stances. concludes the court, the COM
pany had no right to do.
