BAD SOIL IS GOOD
 FOR SOME TREES
Barren Lands Often Will Grow
 Timber

superior. Wis, July 2f RIA model reservation project has been established on the barren sand lands of southern Douglas county. Wis consin. on the summer home pro- perty of Ray J. Nye, federal pro- hibition director for the western dis trict of the state.
 Forest Lodge, Mfr. Yves summer home. attracts foresters and conser. from distant points to see the projects.
 In 1914, Mir. Nye planted 5000 white and Norway pines on land that was so sterile it was fitted only for raising grass. and anything but blue grass had difficult time forming a sod.
 After twelve years of growth the trees are from twenty to twenty-five feet high. all thriving nightly. and from five to seven inches in dj- ameter at the base. Tn 1915-16 and again this spring. others were plant ed. Now there are more than 1000 trees, most of them Norways and white pines, with here and there a few Scotch pines. Not ten of the 1000 trees planted have died.
 "The whole business of conserva- ton" said Mir. Nye. "is fire pro- lection. Plant the trees on the hun dreds of acres of sandy barren land In North Wisconsin and protect them from fire and in from thirty 10 forty years there will be merchant able timber"

 Stolen dogs are traced through cooperation with police and detec- tive agencies. Dogs found injured anywhere in the city or vicinity are given surgical attention and hospi- tai care by the association.
 Calls for assistance in caring for dogs run to a goodly number each month, and the secretary finds plenty Of work to do in assuring the animals of proper treatment.
 Cooperative Ownership
 When home is found for an ownerless dog, the new owner be- comes a member of the association and takes the canine waif under the agreement that he will be given pro- per care and treatment and will be surrendered should the real owner be located.

RECKLESS DRIVER
 CAUSES COLLISION Girl Injured When Cars Crash
 Near Center Of Town ARREST DRYERS BROTHER
Old Resident Dies-SeIectmen Meet Boys Club Total Not Reached Valise Excites Crowd-Items.

The necessity for the suppression of speeding through this place made itself manifest early yesterday morn- ing when car driven by Victor J. Vitus of 192 Jefferson street, Hart ford, collided with a car driven by Tracy Nickerson of Berlin near the Bell place north of the center. Both cars were badly damaged and girl in the Vitus car was cut about the face and taken to the Hartford hos pital. Nickerson's car was over ' turned and was struck by the car following him, driven by Edward Crandwell of 17 Trumbull street, New Haven.
 Officer Frank Brown arrested Vii tus on the charge of reckless driving and also took into custody Harry Vitus, the drivers brother on the charge of drunkenness. Harry is now out on bail and Victor will appear in court tomorrow evening before Judge G. G. Griswold.
 Berlin seems to be the mecca of every speedster in the state and they can be seen any time during the day or night endangering the lives of the residents, here and of other motorists. Berlin street, be- ing well paved, entices drivers to step on the accelerator while pass ing through and as there is very little police protection against this evil the habit of doing 50 miles an hour through the town is spreading.
 It is not the transient tourists that speed througt here. Personal in- vestigation showed that the out-of- state cars are wary because of past experiences with speed traps and keep their cars down to a sensible pace. The drivers familiar with the situation. however. have no fear of being stopped and take their cars through the town at its best speed. Another Reckless Driver Arrested
 John Henry Sullivan of 20 Park Side avenue, Springfield, Mass. was cutting in and out of the line of cars going through Berlin until stopped by Officer Frank Brown yesterday morning. He was charged with reckless driving and will be summoned before Judge Griswold in the Berlin town court this evening.
 Old Resident Passes
 Frank Dutton, an old resident of West Cromwell, just across the Ber- lin town line, passed away in the Middlesex hospital. Middletown after long illness. He is well known in Berlin, being an employe at the the past. The funeral was held from his late home yesterday afternoon. hnd burial was in the Wilcox ceme- Eery in West Cromwell.
 Berlin Street Beautiful
 With the painting of the Berlin Congregational church, Berlinites can point with pride to the street hat most tourists pass through. Nowhere in New England can a finer example of a typically beautiful Connecticut town be found. The rees are thick with foliage giving q cooling shade in even the hottest of weather. the lawns are kept free bf weeds and ragged grass until they .ssume the properties of a green tarpet that spreads from the neat walk up to the spotlessly kept Pouses
 The colonial atmosphere Is endur- ng, even in this day of the automo-

COTTON REACTION
FOLLOWS ADVANCE
Consumption Figures Held
BuI|ish, But Hedging
Is Encountered.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 14.-The
cotton market opened firm today at
an advance of to II points on a
renewal Of yesterdays buying move
ment and covering promoted by COM
paratively steady Liverpool cables and
the census report showing domestic
consumption of 5S3,95O bales for No
vember, compared with 56S,532 for
October and 543 .48S for November last
year. The advance seemed to meet
Southern hedging and realizing, and.
after selling at 1905 for January and
1852 for May. prices reacted or 3
points from the best by the end of
the first hour.
Private cables said there had been
some covering and London buying in
Liverpool, but that fears OF lower
prices were checking business In cot
ton goods.
The reaction from the early advance
carried prices off to 11.97 for January
and 1912 for May, near yesterdays
closing quotation. Offerings remained
light, however, and the market at
midday was quiet, with the active
months holding or points net
higher. Conflicting spot advices were
received from the South, but very lit
tie Southern hedging was reported
here during the morning.
New Orleans Market.
NEW ORLEANS. December IA Op).
The cotton market opened easy
here today, with January 2 points
down. AS the November consumption
report proved bL.lish later months
opened 4 to 6 points up. All active
months improved after the call, but
the market lacked strength and soon
eased off. At the highest January
traded at 1900. March at 1926 and
May at 1912. or to points above
yesterdays close. Liverpool cables
were favorable.
