add: Except the mayor" Foote, the
comedian. having remarked at an inn |:

landlord had him hailed before mag
istrare. who fined him shilling for not
conforming TO the ancient custom.

BEAUTIFY THE ROADS

kShENCH national highways are
famous the world over for their
trees. Stately elms line them for miles
forming an arch Of green under
which the delighted motorist passes.
These tree lined highways have be-
come a French national institution,
almost as important as the palaces
at Versailles, the Eiffel Tower or the
Louvre.
We in America ought to initiate
this French method of identifying
the country. But it is not a job for
some organization-for some crowd
especially interested in the project.
1t is rather something to which every
property owner should give some thot.
Start a row of trees in front of
your home if you are living on an
important highway. Add few each
year, and take note of the results.
Passing motorists will pause for an
admiring look. Some of them may
like the looks of your place better be-
cause of the effect created by the
trees, and may even enquire if it is
for sale. Of course you may not want
to sell, but you may know by this that
trees add to the value of Your prop
erty.
Il wish you would call your read
ers' attention." writes valley SUBJ
scriber, ito the value in identifying
the countryside thru which motorists
from other places passing thru would
get favorable impression of Ben
ton county. They that would like
to see beautiful. l have a vision of a
long row of trees along the sides of
the River Road. People from other
places would get favorable impress
sion of the county. They would talk
about our county back home after the
summer tour, and that would be the
best kind of advertising"
Let's start tree planting cam
paign as community project.

this week. The school has a
Truog soil testing apparatus
which tests both acidity and de-
gree of acidity. Anyone wishing
to test soil can secure the appar-
atus.
Miss Sigrid Stendal, former
teacher of the Askov school, now
teaching in Brainerd, visited the
school Monday and Tuesday.
Monday morning she told the
fourth and fifth grades, her for
mer classes, of her journey in
Scandinavian countries three
years ago. The children enjoyed
the visit of their former teacher
very much.
Last Thursday Mr.. Theodore
Utne, Graded School and High
School Department Inspector,
spent an hour or so in looking
over the school. Mr.. Utne SEEM
ed well pleased with what he saw
and asked about; however, he did
state the school was very weak
in one place, namely, the high
school enrolment. The approx
mate average throughout the
state is one high school student
for every three or four grade pu-
pills while in Askov school it is
one high school student to seven
grade pupils; few schools have
so wide a range. Possibly the
range is too narrow in some
schools, but there is no doubt but
that the range here is entirely
too wide.
Evidently there is a misunder-
standing as to the motion pic
lures the school is showing. A
number seem to have the impress
sion that these pictures are pri-
marily for the children. The
school secured the machine in
order to keep out the many trav-
cling companies that were on the
road at that time showing almost
anything; thus there would be
some one in the community who
was responsible for what was
shown. All but two or three
of the pictures this year are pri-
marily for adult audiences. The
school is anxious to have sugges-
tons as to good wholesome pic
lures; two or three of the best
ones this year were suggested
by parties who had seen them,
