CUTTING CHRISTMAS
TREES HIT IN TALK

Christmas trees for children are all
right, but wholesale cutting of the
Yuletide evergreens by dealers is not.
So thinks DR.. Henry Schmitz, chief
of the division of forestry, University
of Minnesota. His thoughts were ex-
pressed Tuesday at luncheon Of the
Women's Welfare league at the Wo-
mems City club.
DIR. Schmitz spoke on Economic
Aspects of Forestry" He explained
that the idea of denying children the
Joy of the evergreen at Christmas
would be an injustice.
The speaker disapproved the whole
sale cutting of Christmas trees, be-
lieving that promiscuous cutting
should be abolished, which, he ex-
planned, can be done through the pro-
posed plan of tagging.
In attacking the theory that for
estry is trying to drive out agricul-
ture, he declared that the contrary is
true. DIR. Schmitz expressed conf
dence that the reforestation program

II would be a revelation to the
aviation enthusiast living in Texas
TO take a trip through the Western
and Eastern states and glimpse the
progress accomplished in aviation
within the last decade.
The Lone Star state boasts Of one
Of the largest aviation fields for
training pilots in the world, namely
the government fields at Brooks
Field and Kelly Field, San Antonio,
and while the government turns out
into civil life many competent and
expert pilots. they invariably take
I'D positions as pilots in some east
ern port Of activity. This is because
of the lack Of aviation activities IN
this state.
Flying Il now beyond the expert
mental stage and it will not he long
distant before we accept flying As
an indispensable means Of transpor-
tation in bringing US into closer and
quicker contcat In business relations
with our neighbors in distant cities.
Texas Needs Fields
While flying fields and air ports
in Texas are slow in realizing the
necessity Of establishing municipal
air parts, the growth OF popular in-
terest in flying in the Northwest
and on the Pacific coast generally
Is rapidly bringing about the estab-
lishment of a large number of ex-
cellent flying fields and municipal
air ports. There is hardly a good
sized city in the West which is not
building a flying field AZ the present
time, and at least $4,000. 900 is being
spent for this purpose in the large
cities alone. So determined are the
people Of the Pacific coast 10 have
good landing fields that they have
found a unique method of obtaining
the necessary funds. The Port Com
missioners Of a number Of cities,
notably Portland and Oakland, have
taken the position that a port is a
port, whether commerce comes in
through the air or over the water.
Acting on this assumption. they have
been using dock and other fees for
the building Of airports. So far the
legality of their action scent to
have been upheld.
Many Ports In West
Seattle is spending 100000 on
San Point Field; Portland is spend.
ing s1,250,o00 on Swan Island; San
Francisco ID spending 100000 and
Oakland Is spending $~1,250,0O0. Los
Angeles Is buying land at $4,000 an
acre for an air port near the city
and the total cost may reach $3.000.-
600. Other cities such as Santa

Onion Crop To Be

RAYMONDvILLE, Oct. 15.-Be-
tween 1000 and 5000 acres will be
planted to onions in the Raymond
Vile section, according TO estimates
by seed dealers and growers. Plant
ing is now in full swing in all parts
Of the unirrigated section.

than they have been for years, grow

prepared prior to the rains, and the
heavy rainfall has provided suf-
ficient moisture to assure q good
crop.
Some OF the largest growers are
planting from 40 to 80 acres "a
onions, and there will be scores OF
fields averaging from 10 to 20 acres,
In view of the excellent soil con-
ditions growers are confident they
will start shipping from two 70 three
weeks earlier than usual.

Texas Behind IN AIR
Development; West
Leads, Says Conrad

Monica, Cal; Boise. Idaho; Medford,
Ore: Salt Lake City, Utah; Fres-
no, CAL; Phoenix and Tucson, IN
Arizona, are some Of the Northwest
ern ports and are also spending con-
siderable money in building perma-
nent municipal air ports.
Perhaps the most unusual of all
these projects is that Of Kern coun-
ty in California, which has adopted
the policy Of IAN air port in every
town.
One unexpected result of the trans
continental races 10 Spokane has
been the establishment Of a chain
of flying fields through a country
where none previously existed. Three
was no flying field along this route
when Major Jack Fancher. who ra-
ranged the National Air Derby, flew
last a few months ago TO blaze a
trail for the race. Everyone in the
towns over which he passed 4 out
doors to see him as planes were so
unusual a sight. Now there is a line
Of flying fields from ST. Paul 70
| Spokane, and these are probably as
good as those on n commercial
route in the country. They were
built almost overnight by cities that
suddenly realized that aviation was
about TO bring them in closer con-
tact with one another. In one city q
wealthy mar offered to pay all the
expenses Of building the field, but
the other citizens would not let him.
They wanted to pay their share.
PablIe Enthusiastic
The public has taken to aviation
with SO much enthusiasm on the Pa
cific coast chat seats in airplanes on
several routes are booked many days
ahead. Even the officials Of some
lines are unable TO ride over them
free, the demand for paid transporta-
ton being so great. When can
save from twelve to twenty-four
hours between cities by using air
planes instead Of the train there is a
real incentive to fly.
There are very few municipal air
ports in Texas and not one air line
that is operating on n schedule basis
but il is believed that the time is
not far distant when the people Of
Texas will sc e naet Of airways con-
Meeting the principal cities of the
state; when the business mar in
Brownsville will be able TO attend
a conference in Dallas and return
home for dinner the same day.
Another notable feature Of the
progress Of aviation Is the fact that
there are more than $50 air ports
and intermediate landing fields Of
permanent character already estab-
lished in different cities Of the Unit
ed States. This number Is rapidly
increasing and it is predicted that
every city Of 5000 population OF
more will soon have air port facili.

Had to Be Satisfied
With Seeing the "Lion'

Matthew Arnold, the English poet
and essayist, came to the United
States and gave 100 lectures, but even
the manager Of the tour admitted that
Arnold's voice was extremely weak and
that it was unlikely that any person In
the audience ever heard word Of the
lectures, a writer in the Kansas City
Star asserts. At ArnOld's first appear
ance in Chickering hall, New York
city, every seat was sold at high
price. Chauncey M. Depew introduced
the speaker and Arnold stepped for
ward. He had been well advertised
and the audience was breathlessly still
with interest. Arnold opened his
manuscript and his lips began to
move, but not sound was audible.
The audience craned necks and put
hands to ears, but with no results
Some, fearing deafness had overtaken
them, even looked around to see how
others were reacting to the silence,
but were treasured by the Impotence
manifested by their neighbOrs. Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant was among those
present. After few minutes he said
to Mrs. Grant, "Well, wife, we have
paid to see the British lion; we can
not hear him roar, so let us 60 home. "
They left the hall and soon there was
a stream of people leaving.

Modern Type of Girl
as One Man Sees Her

The modern girl Is more alluring
than any feminine type Of history
and serious-minded, reasoning young
men are avoiding matrimony more
than ever before.
That's the conclusion Of youIl,
business man, eligible, earning $4,000
year, who, writing in Smart Set
Magazine, points to three types Of
girls as his reasons for lodging the
marriage bond.
First Of them, he says, is the one
who believes that girl has the same
right to freedom in her sex life as a
man. Not only believes it but says SO
and does so, for all 1 know. Maybe
she will make some man a mighty
good wife-but not me-"
No. 2 is the girl, usually petted
only daughter, restless and with the
idea that money is just made to be
spent. AS a wife she'd be a wonder
full sweetheart, but we'd both be in
the pOorhouse inside of year or
two"
!. And third is the intellectual girl who
insists upon showing it. "She has
ideas and beliefs about everything
from Bolshevism to birth control. AS
q wife she'd have her clubs to 60 to,
her political meetings, her papers on
various subjects to prepare. I'm
afraid we wouldn't be happy together"

Got His Photographs,
But "Neuer Repeated''

L. A. Huffman, as official photog-
rapher at Fort Keogh, Mont, in the
period when Gen. Nelson A. Miles was
commander of that army post, came in
personal contact with the heads Of
both Indian and American fighting
forces in one day.
Huffman had become friendly with
Rain-fn-the-Face, of Custer battle
fame, who was prisoner Of war at
the fort, and after considerable diff
Guilty Huffman had arranged to photo
graph this leader Of the Indian tribes.
The Indian chieftain remained at Huff
mans studio for three hours, having
been taken from the army's Indian
prison camp surreptitiously. In his
prolonged absence, the other Indians
feared their leader had been hanged
by American soldiers and an investiga-
ton was started by General Miles.
Rain-in-the-Face returned to the camp
and Huffman was summoned before
General Miles.
Young man." said Miles, addressing
Huffman, ''if you ever take another
prisoner of war out of camp without
permission from the adjutant or my
self, you will find yourself in very
serious trouble"

afterward, but had gained some fine
pictures of Rain-in-the-Face Neil N.
