TREES OF HEAVEN
by
JESSE STUART

Jesse Stuart is young, vital and
writes with the freshness and
vividness such qualities impart.
Professor William Lyons Phelps of
Yale lists "Trees of Heaven
among the years ten best works of
fiction.
The novel contrasts the lives of
two men and their families that
became inextricably interviewer
through circumstances-old Anse
Bushman, a hard, thrifty Kentucky
farmer and Boliver Tussie, indol-
ent happygo-glucky sQuatter who
had a "purty" daughter.
Anse Bushman wanted the land
Boliver Tussie squatted on; young
Tarvin Bushman wanted Boliver's
daughter. The working out OF
these two problems against back
ground of hill-country farm life is
handled with rugged deftness that
gives us a novel as powerful as the

proceedings, filed and impending,
attracted the political spotlight to
the capitol this week.
Gov. Sidney P. Osborn finally
opened fire on the State Industrial
commission when a long series OF
charges against the three COM
missioners were handed to the
chief executive.
Reports were current earlier In
| the week that one of the com
missioners accused of political ac
tivities planned a counter-offensive
against the governor
| Other reports indicated that
four of the state highway commits
sfoners plan bit of action them
selves rather than sit back and
wait for the governor to begin an
offensive action designed at their
removal.
Among the stereotyped, all-in
elusive charges of misfeasance,
nonfeasance, malfeasance, ETC..
etc. hurled at the industrial com
missioners was the specific charge
against Commissioner Lynn Lock
hart that he engaged in political
activity.
The commissioner reputedly ex
pressed considerable surprise thai
Governor Osborn should accuse an
industrial commissioner OF playing
politics.
Behind the commissioners pro
fessed surprise was the hint thai
the governor himself probably will
be named defendant in suit
charging conspiracy to violate the
statute which bars industrial com
missioners from engaging in
politics.
! Friends of Commissioner Lock
hart were quick to point out thai
the names of two industrial com
missioners-L. G. (CarD Holmes
present chairman, and j. Ney
Miles. former commissioner, are
on the list of campaign contrl
butors filed with the secretary OF
state by Mr.. Osborn in his un
successful campaign for the COVER
norship two years ago.
@D Holmes
and Miles, Mr.. Osborn personally
solicited them for campaign con
! tributions- an act which several
attorneys says might suggest the
incumbent governor was an &C
cessory to a conspiracy to violate
the simon-pure political complex
ion of commissioner Plus tnls
fact. it is emphasized, the contrl'
buttons of these commissioners are
matter of record in the office OF
the secretary of state.
Mr.. Lockhard, this column was
informed by a usually rellaDle
source, is in possession of other
"evidence" connecting the COVER
nor with activities identical with
the charges he will consider IN
connection with the present action
against the commissioners.
1t is an open secret at the capl-
tol that the first draft of charges
against the commissioner was pre-
pared by Burt H. Clingan, Phoenix
attorney and former Republican
member of the commission, and D.
Kelly Turner, another attorney,
who was Mr.. Osborn's campaign
manager in 1888.
The governors advisers, the
Watchtower was informed, con-
sidered the Clingan-Turner draft
as insufficient. The job was turn
ed over to another attorney, Frank
w Beer, former member of the
house of Representatives

self, will be solemly heard by the
governor.
1t is easily anticipated the chief
executive will find at least two of
the commissioners and
Lockhard-guilty. The commission
ers then have the right to review
before the State Supreme court,
which will consider the charges
from a legal rather than a poll
tical viewpoint.

llCdI view pOluI.
An unusually lively session of the
State Highway commission is an
| ticipated for next Tuesday. This
column learns from a reliable
source that the tour hold-over COM
missioners will assume an aggres-
sive role in their fight to retain
office.
According to the Watchtower's
source, the commissioners will ask
! Horace Moore, Governor Osborn's
appointee as highway patrol SUI
perintendent, to explain why three
patrolmen assertedly were permit
ted to travel to distant parts Of
the state on political missions.
The patrolmen are said to be
George Ash, former investigator
for John w. Corbin, Maricopa
county attorney during the social
ed graft cases; "Hi' Perry, former
ly connected with the state
registrar of contractors office, and
Tim Underwood, a former employe
in the state highway department
shops.
This trio, it is reported, were
excused from attending the high
way patrol school to tour the state
in an effort to obtain information
of highway commissioners engag-
ing in political activities. The
charge will be made, this column
is told, that the patrolmen made
their trips in plain clothes, in
state cars burning state-paid gaso-
line and turned in expense claims
against the state.
The commissioners, the Watch
tower was further informed, are
in possession of affidavits sub
stantiating their charges.
All of which indicates that a
political Roman holiday will be
held when the commission goes
into session next Tuesday.
Governor Osborn drew fire from
legislators this week in the wake
of his accusation that HB 1877,
which he vetoed after it was
speeded through both houses,
'evidently is to increase the length
OF time in which gambling is per-
mitted at the state fair grounds"
Legislators pointed out that the
present law provides that mo
meet shall be held for a period
longer than 80 days" but limits in
no way the number of horse race
meets that may be conducted dur
ing the year. HB 1877 limits rae
ing to two meets a year.
Legislators contend that had the
governor wanted to limit racing,
as he stated, he should have sign
ed the bill rather than veto it.
The only other provision in the
bill differing from the present
law is that it clarifies the ques-
ton of breaks" fixing them as
provided by law in most other
states.

April Financing Figures
Set New F. \. A. Record

Record breaking figures on F. H.
A. home-financing insurance oper-
atoms in April were announced to-
day by Federal Housing Admins
traitor Abner H. Ferguson.
During the month, 32,488 small
home mortgage insurance applica-
tons totaling $150,884,2 95 were re-
ceived, exceeding the previous high
established in March at 30,040 ap-
plications In the amount of sl38,-

Of this total, 25,506 mortgages
amounting to s120, 428,97O covered
new homes to be built under F. H

financed with mortgages insured
under Title II. This compared with
23,773 new-home applications in
the amount of S1IH.721190 in March
and 22,092 such applications in the
amount of S100,901,774 in April
1910. The increase over a year ago
was Is per cent in number and

New Home Building Firm
To Operate Talent Pool

A new plan not only for the pro-
duction of homes but of entire sub
divisions was announced here to-
day with the formation of a new
organization known as Southern
Homes Corp.
Headed by a group of leading
Washington financiers and business
men, the corporation will link to-
gether a chain of home develop
designed to produce homes on a
quantity basis between $4,000 and
$4,000.
One of the first subdivisions
which Southern Homes Corp. will
tie into its development program
is Woodmoor, on Colesville road in
nearby Montgomery County, an es-
tablished community operated for
the last several years by the Moss
Realty Co. The program in Wood
moor calls for the construction of
homes to be sold at prices ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Communities in all sections Of
the Washington area will be de-
veloped under the Southern Homes
Corp. plan. according to F. w.
Henderson, vice president. The
theory of the plan, he emphasized,
is to pool the best talents of archi-
tects, engineers, community plan
ners. builders, building material
manufacturers and developers in a
manner that permits that greatest
benefits accrue to the ultimate pur-
chaSers of the homes.

Children are so sophisticated to-
day with their knowledge of flying
model planes, propeller pitch and
miniature gasoline motors that the
making of an old-fashioned wind

strike them as definitely corny. But
those of us who are rather older

pile of kindling wood for a piece
the ak had left reasonably square
so I wouldn't have too much knife
work to do. Slanting the blades the
right way was an engineering
triumph and more than half the
time cut the mortiSes on the wrong
side. The fin was shaped from the
thin edge of a shingle, which in
variably split on me, or it was
pounded out of an old tin can.
When the blades were mounted on
the stick I can recall racing madly
around the back yard to see if it
would work, because there was no
wind blowing. In fact, the day 1t
was put up on the peak of the barn
roof and there wasn't breath of
air stirring; then, in the middle
of the night, would wake up to
hear it chattering away and know
the pride of job well done.
Chattering Its Chief Charm.
That chattering. I think, is Its
chief charm. The little. short
bladed windmill, with no pretense
of aerodynamic efficiency. whirls
merrily on its pin while its more
scientifically designed brothers turn
smoothly on brushed bearings in
complete silence.
The design shown in the accom-
panying illustration is as near these
boyhood windmill weather vanes as
I could get without recommending
split kindling wood for the material.
