The name Bartholomew in its va
rious spellings is of Hebrew orig
in and has the picturesque mean
ing ''son of the burrows" writes
Florence A. Cowles in the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, thus fitting a farmer
or plowman. But many of its bear
ers have plowed the waves rather
than the fields. Less popular now
than in the past when its bearers
did great deeds, it is frequently
heard as a surname.

apolis, Aug. 18th. A very fast field of
players are entering the tourney. We
are expecting a record entrance for this
event, so therefore the committee would
like to urge all of those who have not
already entered to either register with
Bill Simms at the Phyllis Wheatley
House in Minneapolis or with yours truly
at the Halle Q. Brown House, St. Paul.
William Penn, now champion for many
moons, is bent on upsetting present
champion Willie Simms. Both are excel
lent tennis players and should they meet
at any time during the tournament a
battle can certainly be expected. Eel

OF MIR. J. H. Pratt
Yesterday.

The wedding yesterday afternoon of
Miss Berrice Stafford, daughter OF Mrs.
William E. Sanford and the late DR..
Stafford, to Mr.. John H. Pratt took
place at the home Of the brides
mother, at 1899 Mount Pleasant street.
Mr.. Pratt is the son OF Col. and Mrs.
H. B. Pratt Of San Diego, Calf.
The Rev. Father Wheeler Of st.
Matthew's Church of11ciated in the
presence of relatives and close friends,
and the drawing room. where the cere-
mony was performed, was decorated
with autumn flowers.
The bride was given in marriage by
her brother, the Rev. D. Wade Stafford
of Kensington, Md. She wore a we'd
ding gown that her aunt, Mrs. A. N.
Stats, had worn. 1t had a close
fitting bodice and skirt that was
very full from the knees Her veil of
tulle was becomingly arranged about
her hair and she carried a bouquet OF

hard. The Romans used the wood to
make wedges, pixies and furniture.
The second part of the name refers
to its sweet sirup.
The wood is valuable and is known
to the lumber trade as white maple.
Most Of the wood we use is from this
special species. The heartwood is a
light reddish brown and its luster is
a key to identify the sugar maple.
Sometimes there are strange acci-
dents during the growth of this tree
which cause the grain to curl. Then
it is sold at higher price and called
bird's-eye or curly maple, and used
for specially fine pieces of cabinet
work
Maple sugar sirup and sugar are
very important spring crops on farms
where many sugar naples grow. YER
mont, New York. Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Michigan have fine sugar NAPLES.
Ten years ago the value of the sugar
production was something like $780,
900. and this was from the production
of 13,285.000 pounds Of sugar and
sirup.
Seedlings and small trees transplant
easily. You may find several seed
children coming along in vigorous
manner under the shadow of their
mother. They will not be able to do
their best, and you would be benfit-
ing mankind as we'll as the little tree
by giving il a new home
Somehow this tree has fewer foes
than many trees. The insects and
fungus pests do not make life so mis-
cradle for the tree or its owner. OF
course, there are times when a tree is
beset by horde of insects and the
maple borer is capable of killing large
limbs and even trees by boring under
the bark and in the outer sapwood
But the greater number Of the sugar
NAPLES can throw off the bad effect
of tent caterpillars, white marked tus-
sock moths and the green-striped
maple worms that feast upon the leaves
If you have a handsome sugar maple
watch it closely and spray if you find
leaf scales beginning to colonize upon
the bark But the foes are not SO
vigorous and determined that you
should delay planting these trees.

WOULD WARD OFF
: INQUIRY ON WPA

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. (UP)
President Roosevelt is considering
today the establishment of non
partisan boards in every county
to keep politics out of relief.
The plan, it was learned, was
outlined at recent White House
conferences. One usually we'll
informed source said that it was
designed to answer congressional
criticism of the Works Progress
administration and to soften de.
mands for an investigation OF
that agency. ~. s....
New attacks on WPA were ex-
pected to. follow publication OF
the report Of the senate campaign
expenditures committee, which in
vestigated charges of political &C
tivity among federal employees
during the last elections.
1t was learned that the report,
covering inquiries made in Id
states, would contain serious
charges involving politics in re-
lief in several states, notably
Kentucky, Tennessee and Penn
:s.slYaaia, A. coalition of Republic
cans and conservative Democrats
planned to use these charges as
ammunition in fight to prevent
senate confirmation of former
WPA Administrator Harry L..
Hopkins appointment as secretary
of commerce. 30.
A recent White House visitor,
commenting on the relief situa-
ton in his state, drew from the
president an outline of the pro-
posal to create non partisan
boards to investigate complaints
of political coercion and other
charges, and to advise the fed
eral agency. Actual administra-
ton of relief would remain in
control of WPA. Members of the
boards would serve without sal
airy.
Congressional opponents of the
present relief set-up contended
that Mr.. Roosevelt, in consider
ing such a plan, was admitting
weakness in the WPA which, they
said, permitted federal employees
in many states to play politics
with persons on relief rolls.
A strong group of senators, in
