Nut Trees for WaYslde.

The American Tree association, an
organization devoted to the encourage.
ment Of arboriculture, asks why nut
trees should not be planted along the
waysldes Of this country, both for use
and beauty. The obvious answer is
that they should. 1t happens that the
nut trees of this country are almost
without exception desirable, not only
for their nuts, but for every reason
that makes tree planting worth while.
They are mostly trees Of large size
they are beautiful; and when they are
cut the timber which they supply Is of
high quality.
In his recent work on Trees as
Good Citizens" Charles Lathrop Pack
mentions an instance where a black
walnut grew from the seed In Penn
sylvania and bore seven nuts in its
fourth year. That, of course, was an
extraordinarily precocious walnut, but
the tree In ordinary cases grows rap
idly enough to satisfy any reasonable
man, and, unlike the growth OF pop
lars and soft naples, II lives to a great
old age.-Detroit Free Press.

200 ROOTLEGGERS ARE SENT TO FEDERAL
PRISON AS RESULT OF WILLIAMSON RAIDS

HERRIN. ILL, May 18.-With the
smoke of battle in Williamson coun-
ty cleared away, revealing the over
wbelminp victory of the forces of
law and order in this community, the
metropolitan press seems to have lost
Ali interest in the actual results that
have been achieved. Williamson
county is no longer on the map in
their estimation. But this disturbs
but little the minds of the law-abid-
ing, moral citizenry Of this county,
who, as the result of the determine
tion to wipe out Haunting violations
of law, have placed zoo bootleggers
behind the federal prison bars for
terms varying from six months to two
years, with fines ranging from $500
to $500, closed rs open saloons and
roadhouses, and caused many unde-
sirable characters to leave the county.
The trials of the bootleggers and
their consequent convictions at Dan
Vile was emphatic proof that the
people were not to be swerved from
their purpose to clean up Williamson
county. The assistance of the ku
Klux Khan given to S. Glenn Young,
federal prohibition agent, was not
only countenanced but gladly well
coined and proved most valuable in
the rounding up Of the lawless ele-
ments. 1t was the activities of the
Khan which interested the metropol-
itan press in what was going on in
Williamson county, rather than the
intention of the citizens led by >.
Glenn Young and Klansmen, to pre-
serve law and order in the commun-
ity.
When it was clearly shown that the
reign of lawlessness, which for the
time being held full sway, was about
to be ended and that citizens gener-
ally were giving the Khan a generous
share of the credit for the suppress
sion of the criminal element, the dali
ly newspapers promptly lost all in
terest in Williamson county as a
source of news.
But the people of the county are
proud of the knights of the Ku klux
Khan and the part they took in tax.
ing the reins of government out OF
the hands of scoffers of the law.
They ae grateful to S. Glenn Young,
the federal agent, whose fearlessness
and energy in the pursuit of the boot
logging fraternity has routed the liq-
nor gang out of the county, and are
more than satisfied that the daily
press, finding it could not fasten any
thing on the Khan more than the

were about to cross the tracks when
she heard the train.
She ran in front of the car, she said,
waved and called to them to stop, and
then jumped to avoid being run down.
Acee, driving apparently did not see
or hear her and sent the car forward
in the path of the onrushing train.
Mrs. Acee and her son Thomas were
caught on the locomotive pilot and
carried almost into this city before

CONFER[ES YIELD
ON JAP EXCLUSION
Agree With President Cool.
idge to Make March,
1925, the Date.

Washington.-President Coolidge, by
strenuous last-mlnute efforts. obtained
from senate and house immigration
bill conferees an agreement to recon
mend postponement OF statutory Jap
anese exclusion until March /, 1928.
Such a postponement would give the
State department opportunity to nego-
tiate with japan for exclusion by
treaty.
Confronted with the prospects OF ex-
clusion effective July / next, as agreed
to by the cOnferees, the President held
number of hurried conferences, with
the result that the conference commit
tee' at session late in the day, re-
scinded their previous action and voted
Tor the new effect date.
Yield to White House.
lnsistence by the President for the
delay In operation of the exclusion sec
ton was the reason give by the con
ferees for their unusual action. Sena-
tor Reed (Rep.. Pa.), as spoil esman for
the conference, said the new provision
had been proposed by tn" house men,
bers at the request of the President.
and had been accepted by the senate
members for that reason.
The provision for exclusion as now
agreed on Is In the following language:
This subdivision shall not take eff
feet as to exclusion until March l.,
1925. before which time the President
Is requested to negotiate with the Jap
anese government In relation to the
abrogatiOn of the present agreement
on this subject"
Coolidge Call: Leaders
The new effective date was suggest
ed by the President to Chairman John
son of the house confereeG, during a
conference at the White House. Sena-
or Reed was also called to discuss the
question with Mr.. Coolidge, and previ-
Gus TO- his conversations with the I'm
migration conference chairman, the
President had sought to enlist the sup
port of Republican leaders Of the
house In a move to make a fight on
the house floor in behalf Of deferred
date.

EXPLORERS TO CHART
ARCTIC WILDERNESS
Geological Survey Men to
Fill in Blank Spot on Map.

Nenana, Alaska.-Through the Bit
ter weather Of late winter In the Arc
tic circle and the peril Of an unsettled,
unknown region, party Of the United
States geological survey, headed by
DR.. Phillip S. Smith, Is bound for the
remote ColvIlle river basin.
This probably Is the most hazardous
mission ever undertaken by this branch
Of the government service. The pur-
pose is to I'LL In big blank spot on the
map Of Alaska containing $4,000
square miles Of unexplored wilderness,
and also to determine by meteorological
tests the scope of an oil-bearing struc.
ture known to exist between Point
Barrow, on the Arctic coast, and the
ColvIlle basin.
Territory Uninhabited.
According to Gerald FITZGERALD.
typographical engineer with the party.
the barren stretch is uninhabited eX-
cept along the Arctic shores, where is
plated bands of Eskimos exc out liv-
ing by beachcombing. The country Is
devoid Of timber, but overlain by tln
dra moss, save where streams cut the
structure and reveal coal beds and oil
seepages.
FitzGerald has penetrated far enough
in the direction TO learn that game ap-
parently is negligible, except for ptar-
mlgan and an occasional colony of
beaver and muskrat. Without timber,
the party will be compelled to rely on
exposed coal for fuel and, lacking that,
on the meager supply Of gasoline and
alcohol they can transport.
Seek Oil Deposits.
Before leaving herea Doctor Smith
wilderness by way of the Colville river
to the Arctic ocean. He explained that
the party would have to depend on
being picked up by stray whaling
vessel and conveyed to the regular
lines of steamer travel at Nome. If
no whaler appears, the explorers will
cast their lot with the Eskimos until
relief is sent.
The region to be explored Is believed
to contain vast deposits Of oil. A lake
filed with bitumen has been dlscov-
cred near Point Barrow, and the sur
vey party will try to determine the
origin of this oil and Its commercial
importance.
Take Dog Teams and Canoes.
The expedition was organized with
the care of polar journey. No sur
plus was carried, either In men or ma
terials. Doctor Smith contracted with
a company to transport his supplies to
the headwaters of the Alatna In the
Alaskan Rockies. At this point the
party is TO plunge into the wilderness
Besides the dozen dog teams, knock
down canoes were taken to be assem-
bled and used when the streams are
free from Ice Doctor Smith hoped to
reach the headwaters OF the Colvllle
about May /, so that the principal ex-
plorations could be made In the brief
Arctic summer.
The biologists and topographers In
the party include Or. ]. b. Mertie, Il.

enough to permit the flow Of $50 gal
