Roadside Planting In Treeless
Sections Requires Careful Study

able distances than similar paintings
in towns and cities. In the country
longer stretches Of road are visible and
travel is faster SO that short stretches
of individual paintings would appear
more jumbled than beautiful. Hence
the need for united action by groups
or communities.
The planting of roads between towns
or over comparatively long stretches
should be planned as unit. This does
not necessarily mean that the plant
ing throughout the entire length OF
the unit should be uniform. A change
of type of country or change OF ele-
walton or other factors influencing the
growth of trees usually requires a
change in the species to be planted
and perhaps difference in arrange
ment.

Short Play Feature
Of Clubs Program

Fifty women, members of the Wo-
mans club and their guests, enjoyed
a delightful afternoon Wednesday at
the annual Guest Day held in Liberty
hall This was the last study meeting
of the club year and was in charge
of Mrs. F. A. English and Mrs. Alike
Parke.
The afternoon was devoted to mu-
steal resume of the years work and
a fifteen minute playlet, Company
Cake, which was used to illustrate
the drama program. Mrs. Roy Gibbins,
club president, welcomed the guests
and then turned the meeting over to
Mrs. English, who introduced the fol-
lowing numbers:
"Home on the Range vocal solo by
Mrs. English.
Garry Me Back to Old Virginny,"
and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" vocal
solos by Mrs. j. E. Leander
"By the Waters of the Minnetonka..
sung by Mrs. Alex Parke.
'Trees," vocal solo, Mrs. English. ii
my Old Kentucky Home" sung by
the entire group. Mrs. Alex Parke ana
Mrs. r. s. Reierson served as accom-
panists for the singers.
The playlet was very amusing little
comedy dealing with young bride,
Ivy played by Miss Dorothea Shinn,
and four neighbor women, Mrs. w. H.
Real, Mrs. Harry Smith, Mrs. Fred Gill
huly and Mrs w. j. Jenkins, who were
assisting her in preparing for mis-
sionary picnic being held in her yard
The brides only offering for the pic
mic is piece Of "store" cheese, which
falls far short of the farm women
idea of suitable picnic fare. When they
learn that Ivy has no aptitude for
cookery they begin to commiserate
| with her and draw fearsome picture
of the difficulties she will encounter
when her mother in-law arrives the
next day. The situation which develops
is clinaxed by surprise ending in
which the mother-in-laW, Mrs. w. j
Kincaid turns out to be not such an
ogre as poor Ivy had been led to be-
lieve.
At the conclusion of the program
Mrs. Edmund Anderson and Mrs. E
F. Newton served tea and cookies tt
the group.

With the holding of political party
conventions and the drive to obtain
signatures to various initiative petit
tions, marking the approach of an
other general election, registration of
voters is again increasing in this valley.
Residents who voted at the last
general election, or who have regis
tered since January l, 1882, will not
need to re-register this year, but all
residents who have moved into a pre-
cinct since registering last, who have
become eligible to vote recently, must
register before August 81 to vote at the
primary election, or before October 16
to vote at the general election.
E. N. Hutchinson, Secretary OF State,
issued a statement recently that all
who wish to sign initiative petitions
should be very careful to sign them in
the same manner in which they have
signed the registration books.

In this state roadside tree planting
is most needed in the treeless sec
lions where the conditions for tree
growth are naturally adverse, points
out E. H. Stegen, head Of the forestry
and range management division, state

The adoption Of proper tree plant
ing scheme for the beautifying Of any

Under adverse conditions it may not

the class who has been leader, both
in scholastic and extra curricular ac-
tivities, during the four years Of high
school. Her name will be engraved
upon silver plaque, along with those
of other years who have been out
standing in their classes.
Scholarship honors, awarded to the
class which has the highest average
grade during the year, went to the
Senior class, which also won the award
in 1893. The Sophomore class ranked
second with the Junior and Freshman
classes following, all separated by only
a few points

MASTER ASSERTS THAT STATE
GRANGE MEMBERSHIP is
UP 30 PER CENT

Declaring that the membership OF
the Washington state Grange has in
creased more than 30 per cent during
the past year, swelling the total to
more than 100000, Erwin E. King, state
master, Tuesday morning discussed
national conditions and the status OF
the organizations projects in the an
nual masters address to the 46th con-
vention of the Grange, being held IN
Pullman this week.
King predicted that out of govern
ment control measures will come great
err respect for consumer temperatures,
and declared that in order to utilize
orr land to the best advantage we
must follow systematic program OF
development
"No one should be permitted to just
start farming wherever and whenever
s he wants if it can be definitely ana
conclusively shown that for some good
reason he is doomed to failure. No
one should be allowed to go on farm
in this day when it is certain that he,
his wife, and his family are committed
to slavery and want
"There are at least five problems
that must be solved" the state master
declared, eff we would place agriculture
in it's proper place as related to the
nation as a whole. These problems
are: the relation of the farmer to the
land; transportation and the cost OF
bringing the products of the farm to
market; credit; marketing agencies;
and organization. These problems could
be reduced to efficient production on
the one hand and the economical dis
tribution on the other, and they both
must be solved if the farmer is to
have his proper place in the social sys>
tenn.
In discussing governmental efforts to
improve conditions, King stated that
both the MIRA and the AAA have been
restraining influences on business.
"There is much yet to be done in Or
ganizing business on sound basis
and I believe that before we get
through with it, consumer cooperatives
will be looked upon with much more
favor than they are at present. II
greed and excessive profits were to DC
eliminated from the MIRA the con-
sumner would pay substantially less tol
the finished goods and at the same
time the AAA could be operated tt
give the producer larger share O.
the selling price of it's product II
other words, if we would cut out some
of the middle mems profits I would fee
much more confident of our permanen
recovery.
"Thus far we have been on an emer
gency drive to get out certain pro
portion of most of the crops, regard
less of whether any given part OF tn
country ought to be growing more
less of these certain crops. We, a
farmers, must organize for controlle
production and think in terms
farming together and not against on
another
ct seems only logical to me, if W
are to keep any land out of produc
ton, that we should keep the poore
land-that of a marginal character
out of production. In travelling over tn
state, I have seen many poor farm
where human lives are being Wastet
A great many farms now being opel
ated condemn the people there an
their children to worse than peasar
standards of living. I think 1t woul
be sensible if we would give such pee

The drift of the days went on. Troop trains

the casualty lists came back. One by one the
gold stars replaced the white
And 1917 drifted into 1918.
DR.. Nikoa Tesla was in his laboratory trying
hard to solve problem of ages. Once in
while he raised his head to listen. Then he
turned back to his experiments. He was going
to end war!
The noted inventor, 78 years old now, already
had TOO inventions to his credit. This was to
be his greatest.
Years marched on. The fanfare and the
drums were DONE The dead were buried. The
living came home.
h low, 16 years after the war has ended,
Tesla, one of the greatest inventors of all
time, has announced that his invention to end
all wars, by perfect means Of defense which
any nation can employ, is ready. Soon he
says, he will take it to Geneva to present it to
the Peace Conference.
Whether it is dream reality may soon
be known. He claims to have created new
agent, silent and invisible which kills without
trace and yet pierces the thickest armor. It is
a beam of death and destruction formed of mi
mute particles of matter carrying such tre-
mendous energy that they could bring down
fleet of 10000 attacking planes and wipe out
an army of millions at a distance of $50 miles.
"The invention" says DR.. Tesla, "will make
war impossible, for it will surround any country
using this means with an impenetrable, in
visible wall of protection. Plants for the gen.
Grating of this beam will be erected along
the coasts and near cities. One plant will
afford perfect safety within an area of 10000
square miles.

to the present.
THE picture of the protected world, in which
! men will devote their time to pursuits Of
peace, is a strangely fascinating one.
Imagine the map of the world, every coun-
try surrounded by great plants which will offer
absolute protection to the nation itself and in
slant death to any intruders. Only ships flying
white flags of peace can sail into foreign
harbor.
The power plants, resembling forts placed at
strategic distances along a country's border.
will be on guard. AS they are immovable, they
will constitute essentially means for defense,
and by making invasion impossible will greatly
advance the cause of peace.

must have war just for the thrill of a throbbing
drum and singing bugle, it can be staged on

the methods Of detecting them will be per-
fected to such degree that there will be
no longer any advantage in submerging When
a submarine is located the beams will function
under water, though not quite so effectively
in air.
TOUR new inventions of DR.. Tesla are in
volved in the creation of the beam.
"Brief1y, the first comprises q method and
apparatus for producing rays and other mani
festations of energy in free air, eliminating the
high vacuum heretofore indispensable" he
explains.
"The second one is the process for producing
electrical force of immense power.
"The third method amplifies the process, and
the fourth produces q tremendous electrical
repelling force"
In times of peace such plant can be used
to transmit power in any amount up to its full
capacity and to any place on the earth visible
through telescope, according to its inventor.
