lOWDEN ARRIVES
J FOR FOREST STUDY.
Ex-Governor to Preside Over
! Committee Arranging Ma
tionaI Celebration.
BY ROBERT 7. SMALL.

The man who wouldn't be Vice
President of the United States has
come to Washington at last. Neither
would he be Secretary of the Navy.
Since a trick of fate cheated him out
Of what appeared to be certain nomi-
nation and election to the presidency
in 1920 he has been the great decliner.
President Harding wanted him in his
cabinet, but he shook his head. The
Republican national convention at
Cleveland last year would not believe
there lived a man who would turn
down the nomination for Vice Presi-
dent. The delegates named Frank o.
Lowden of Illinois. He gave them
the shock of their lives. He not only
declined, but he declined in manner
which left no room for doubt.
BY that declination Charles Gates
Dawes got his great opportunity not
only to preside over the Senate, but to
tell that august body exactly what he
thought of it-and why.
: ExGov. Lowden likes to picture
himself as contented old farmer, and
1t is in that role that he has come
to Washington to preside today over
b meeting of the national committee,
which is arranging for the celebration
of American Forest week, proclaimed
by President Coolidge for April 27 to
May 8. Gov. Lowden does not pre-

Gov. Lowden's farm, which he calls

respects. Some idea of it's size and
variety may be gained by the fact

made and which, It is believed, the
department win adopt, contemplate
the continuation of the rural service
for localities which cannot be reached
by city carriers. For the immediate
Battery Park-Bethesda district mail
Will be distributed twice daily. Motor
trucks will carry the Bethesda mail
from the downtown Washington office
and the outlying Wisconsin avenue
section will receive service on a par
with that of the closer city districts.
Residents OF Edgemoor and Battery
Park have been attempting for some
time to obtain better postal service
on the theory that the city has now
grown to and beyond them, that their
development is now established and
that II should share in all city
privileges. Improvsd postal facilities
have been requested by the Battery
Park Citizens Association. Branch
post offices have been established in
Chevy Chase and elsewhere across
the District of Columbia line.
May Change Street Names.
When the contemplated arrange
ment goes into effect 1t will necessi

streets in Battery Park because oi

the planting Of 100000 Northern pine
trees on it,
Pine trees are a somewhat unusual
crop on a Midwest farm, but all who
look upon those trees today would
feel the owners pride in them and
understand his interest in forestry.
The Lowden trees have grown to an
almost uniform height of 25 feet, and
are clean, straight and dense. They
have become a legally protected game
preserve under the laws of Illinois.
AS he gazed down Pennsylvania
avenue today toward the stately dome
of the Capitol, a broad grin came to
Frank Lowden. Perhaps he was
thinking of Charlie Dawes. Perhaps
he was thinking of Sinnissippi But
in any event he was happy, and he
was certain he had got the better of
that argument at Cleveland last June.

FLORIDA CENSUS JUMPS.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TALLAHASSEE, F''a., April fS.-
Florida's census as of Ferburay Is,
1875, was 1858 800, as compared with
96S,470 in 1920, it was announced in
preliminary figures yesterday by the
State Census Bureau. This repre-
sents an increase of approximately 80
per cent, a rate said to be almost un-
precedented in the Eastern United
States in the last half of three-quar-
ters of a century. The figures may
vary one or two thousand when the
flnal total is compiled, the statement

In the midst of a busy life. which
led him through a self earned educa'
ton at college, which took him from
the country school to the law office,
to Congress and to the governor e
mansion at Springfield, where Lincoln
lies, Frank Lowden always has found
time to take something more than an
academic interest IN his fellow man
and to give concrete expression to
an Unborn love for animals and all the
creatures of the great out-of-doors,
whether furred or feathered or just
merely barked.
In the beautiful Rock River Valley
of Illinois Gov. Lowden has one of
the finest farms in all the country.
It is a model establishment and more
than once ii has lured its owner away
from the toll and trouble of politics.
There was the lure OF the White
House for a time. but no position in
the cabinet, no presiding chair in the
Senate has been able to tempt him
in recent years away from the soil
and the birds and the animals and
the trees. They are his life. He has
been willing to serve the public and
the country by taking up the duties
of chairman OF the Forest week COM
mittee, for he believes in the forests
and the trees and the other works
of nature and is desirous that the
need of trees and forests shall be
borne in upon the public.
Planted 100000 Trees.

END OF CAMPAIGN

Exciting Election Contest at
 Boys Club Brought to Close

William FreSen was elected first mayor of the Boys club city in the .eection held Saturday, upsettng all
 the prediction dope by defeating Matty Mieszkowski, 6l votes to 54. When the two boys were nominated, it was thought that Matty would make runaway of the election, but Fresen's popularity during the past few weeks has increased so rapidly that on Saturday morning he was conceded an even chance and at night was found to have been elected.
 Harry ,Rudman was elected city clerk over Harold Sandquist, GO votes Ito J5. The important position of judge went to Pete Kerelejza, who won a G3-52 victory from Pete Silva. Abe Aronson had the big walkover, Itrouncing Jacob Parparian, 74 votes |to 41, in the race for sheriff. Dave Lipman was elected prosecuting at ItOrney, having a 66-49 margin over Harry Wrinkle.
 Mike Luke, the basketball captain, received his expected big vote, S3 votes, the largest number obtained by any of the candidates for any of- flee and was elected alderman from the first (senior) ward. Andy Yaku- bowicz. captain of the Reserves, re- Cciyed J6 votes and was the other ,tlJ T phnSGn h nr1 while Stanley Gotowala and Frank Arburr trailed the winners with 47 and 38 votes respectively. A feature of the election was that three bal lots were marked for Stanley Goto- Wala and no other first ward alder manic candidate, although two should have been voted for. This odd quirk is accounted for by fam fly conspiracy, Gotowala having three younger brothers in the club.
 Leonard Anderson. with so votes. was chosen alderman for the second
 Gntermediate) ward. and Andy Kobela received 53 and took the other berth from Leonard Appell, who had 5l. Kenneth Frost re- ceivcd 46.
 Jacob Wink'e and Paul Kobela, with 79 and G6 votes respectively, were elected from the third Gunior) ward over Walter Rowinski and Ed ward Synder, who had 43 and 42.
 The fourth (kcnsington) ward elected James McQueency and Henry Clark, giving them G5 and GO votes respectively, while Frank Wright received 5S and Lester Stuhlman 43.
 Superintendent Dwight Skinner Is pleased with the results, as the boys showed great interest In balIoting and no votes had 10 be thrown out
 on account of incorrect marking. The light vote is attributed to the
 early closing of the polls at 5:30 ?. m.. before q good number of the
 boys could leave their positions in stores Mir. Skinner is undecided as to whether there will be any inaug- ural ceremonies or not
 It is planned 10 have Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa, Chief of Police William c.
 Hart, Fire Chief William J. Noble, and other city officials visit thetclub and speak 10 the boys and to have
New Britain herald., 1925-02-09

the youngsters sit In on meetings of the city organizations. In this way, Mir skinner hopes to enable the boys to take more intelligent interest Tn both club and civic affairs. The candidates were nominated by the club leaders this year. but next year 1t Is planned to have the boys do this themselves in regular caucuses.
