PEACH TREE IN KEY.
WEST STILL BEARING

Though at one time there
were many bearing peach
trees in Key West, but few
of them remain budding and
bearing now. One of these
is in the rear of the bake
shop of Luis Gonzalez on An
gela street.
Many peaches have been
taken from the tree during
the past few weeks, and there
is still number on the
branches. Two of these, on
the branch, were presented
The Citizen yesterday.
The fruit is of the free
stone variety, deliciously
sweet, though not very large,
with that distinctive natural
flavor which is found only in
healthy fruit ripened on the
tree.

STRATEGIC NORTH
SEA ROCK TO Get
new GERMAN GUNS
FOREIGN NAVAL EXPERTS
NOW BELIEVE ISLAND WILL
BE REFORTIFIED IN NAZI
PROGRAM
By M. K. WHITELEATHER

BERLIN, June 1O.-Helgoland,
the rock strategically placed off
the German and Danish coasts,
soon again may have heavy guns
to bark at enemy fleets which ap-
proach too closely to Germany's
Kiel canal and the ports of Bre-
men and Hamburg.
Foreign naval experts here be-
lieve that the ifth-of-a-square
mile island, which figured so
heavily in the World War, will be
refortified by the nazis and the
naval harbor reconstructed.
The island possessed heavy for
tifications and harbor until
Germany was obliged to destroy
them by the treaty of Versailles.
But with the military provisions
OF that treaty torn up by the Hit
Ter regime, naval experts look for
the island to be rc-lnstated in Ger
man naval strategy.
Old Smugglers' Handout
The cliffs rise from the North
sea 35 miles from the Schleswig-
Holstein coast. They are in
habited by fewer than 5000 per-
sons, but they have been fixed in
the worlds imagination by naval
battles and smugglers
The English seized the island
from Denmark and used it for a
smuggling base during the CONT
mental blockade of the Napoleonic
wars.
When Bismarck came to power
in Germany in 1871 he set plans
to get it. But he had to wait a
long time. 1t finally came 10
Germany at the end OF Bismarck 5
career in 1890 through a treaty
with Britain which exchanged
Helgoland for the African island
of Zanzibar.
Seas Entertainment Halted
AS the kaiser's naval power
grew. the island was fortified and
in 1910 a sea wall % feet high
was built at a cost OF S30.000,00C
to halt the gnawing of the sea
which was slowly reducing the is
lands size. 1t used to be five
times as large as it now is.
Several World war naval bat
ties were fought near the island
The British never succeeded in
capturing Helgoland-which com
mands the mouths of the Elbe
! Weser and Elder rivers-but in
the Versailles treaty they in
sisted that its military features be
dismantled.

TEXAS RANGERS
Use SIX GUNS
LIKE OLD DAYS
SHOWN THAT IN MANY CASES
OLD METHOD OF ATTACK
AND DEFENSE is BETTER
THAN THAT OF PRESENT
DAY
(I,y Associated PressD

AUSTIN, Tex, June 1O.-Texas
rangers, unlike their imitators on
the stage and screen, have little
time for song and horse play
they're too busy enforcing the law
in the good old western way-with
six guns.
Horses generally have been
abandoned in favor of the faster
motor car, but the spirit Of the
organization, born in the early
days of Texas history as protec-
ton against "bad men and cattle
rustlers, lives on.
Captain J. w. Mccormick, new
chief of the rangers, is carrying
on the old traditions. He admits a
hankering for old-fashioned shoot
ing irons where quickness of the
draw and sureness of aim mean
the difference between life and
death.
Gin a tight spot, 1 guess 1
wouldn't care for one of those
new-fangled machine guns" he
explains. "Give me two good six
shooters and rifle or so and l
reckon | can take care Of myself" "
Story-Book Type
The captain, tall, wiry, story
book type of Ranger, nearly
always wears two six-shooters, one
double action for shooting and
one single action for a club, in hip
holsters.
When expecting trouble, he
frequently carries a third pistol
in shoulder holster and a fourth
in a coat pocket, and sometimes
takes along a sawed-off shotgun
and couple of rifles.
"There are some things you
learn from experience and not in
schools" he said, explaining his
habits of armament.
81 aim to be practical"
He is remarkably fast in pulling
a gun, fellow Rangers say; and
others probably would so testify,
if they could.
The captain drew two guns re-
Gently when he exterminated a
gang in the East Texas piney
woods. Gov. James V. Alfred
termed the action one of the most
remarkable pieces of law enforce
ment in Ranger history.
The gang was reported to have
so terrorfzed the country that
property values had declined. Nc
! Cormick said no one ever would
know how many persons had been
murdered over a long period.
Forty Go To Prison
Captain Mccormick and two as.
sistants moved into the San Au.
gustine area, arrested all members
of the gang and obtained peniten-
tiary punishment for 40.
He didn't kill anyone in this ex.
plot, but he had ''to lay awake
nights figuring ways to avoid it.
he says.

flowers with the leaves in late spring
with hairy, long1stenined, gfeenish,
small blossoms, without petals, mono

in clustered keys, plump seeds with
one-inch wings that carry far: the
hard maple is at home anywhere from
Newfoundland TO Florida. The sap
makes maple sugar. It is admittedly
the best of all the naples.
Another excellent shade tree, also
an aristocrat, is the Eastwood, or
American Linden. These trees, plant
ed one before every house, at twenty
five feet, will meet within five to
eight years, and will arch the street
within ten to fifteen years. But the
wood is soft. and the tree prefers
richer soil than we have here.
I would advise against the Elm.
It is one of the most graceful shade
trees, and grows rapidly. But. is is
destructive of city sewers and its
quest for water Wilson authorit- es
had to tear up a fourth of it's streets
because of elm roots entering the
underground piping. A spongy growth
filled the pipes for more than hun
dred feet from single large tree. 1t
is better fc- farm and park planting.
My last cho ce would be the Caro-
lima Poplar. A tree authority says
none but short-sighted persons would
plant it, except for temporary shade,
while more permanent kinds are get
ting a start. Plant Balm of Gilead
(Balsam. or Tacemahac) instead,
even for short periods. A Carolina
Poplar breaks with every windstorm.
The town will make no mistake in
planting Water Oak, Maple, Ash,
Beech, or any of the nut or hard
wood trees. The heavy winds here
in spring and fall. ought to be fore

tree by the people. Broken soft

TREES

To the Editor:
We enjoyed last evenings article
on City Trees by Mr.. S. T. Peace.
This proposed Improvement of our
city is a source Of JOY, think, to
every thoughtful citizen. Trees are
one of Heavens own gifts, yielding
both pleasure and benefit. If we had
observed Germany's practice to
plant tree for every tree taken
down." we should have no erosion.
Trees hold moisture in the earth
from rainfall to rainfall, hold the
ground in form, enrich the SOIL de-
light the eye of man, and yield shade,
fruit, adornment, and inspirat- on.
Washington Irving wrote admirab-
ly of "the lordly Hudson Valley"
What makes that vast "millionaires'
row so lordly and impressive in
grandeur is the wealth of majestic
trees. Other states have similar hills
but few states have trees equal to the
majestic growth Of the Hudson Val
ley. We had six years of student
life, at Esopus, opposite Hyde Park,
and for SIX years pursued the per-
sonai hobby of studying trees. So
we ask the privilege of a suggestion
or two.
Mr.. Peace suggested water oaks
for Henderson. Excellent! As he
says, they are susceptible to disease,
and they need little care. They soon
erow large, shady, and dignified.
Splendid water oaks may be seen.

the streets of Wilmington, and they
are seldom broken by the winds Be
sides, they are more typically South
ern than the tree I would suggest. I
mean the hard maple.
The hard maple, Sugar maple, is
the tree sk:rting most roads and
drives Of the Hudson Valley estates
It is, next to the slow-growing black
walnut, the tree most recommended
for parks and lawns by tree fanc.ers.
The hard maple is beautiful even at
two or three years. It grows sixty
to a hundred twenty feet. Hand
