Trimming the Trees D. C. Stott, a railway mail clerk of this city, comes forward with a suggestion for improving the appearance of Richmond, which is well worth considering. . Our city has some of the finest shade trees in the state. Visitors are impressed with them and comment on the manner in which they enhance the beauty of the city. Mr. Stott calls attention to the unkempt appearance of many of the trees. He reports broken limbs that have been hanging in the trees for many months, ready to be dislodged by the weight of a heavy fall of snow, or i o be hurled to
the ground by a violent storm. Some limbs are so low that they interfere with the progress of pedestrians carrying umbrellas on rainy days. Others are so long that they spoil the symmetry of the tree. Many trees need to be trimmed badly, Mr. Stott says. If every resident would examine the trees standing in front of his property and do a little tree surgery, the beauty of the city would be enhanced immeasurably, Mr. Stott says. He calls attention to the beautifully trimmed trees of Columbus. When the attention of the residents of that city was called to the condition of their . shade trees, they at once undertook a process of trimming, which resulted in an improvement that is noticeable to every visitor. Richmond has been proud of her tree-lined streets. Our forefathers performed a good service for the community when they started to plant
trees along the streets in the early days. Their descendants have kept up the practice. But if the trees our forefathers planted demand care, it would be well for their descendants to devote a little time to them. A well kept tree is an ornament. Untrimmed trees, with broken branches, or with limbs that are dead, reflect on the tidiness of the city just as much as do the alleys that are filled with litter and trash.
Ready For Work The Chamber of Commerce is ready to execute its mission. Off to a flying start, the community wishes it success and hopes that it will move fast and effectively. No civic organization has been started with the enthusiasm and vim that accompanied the advent of the Chamber of Commerce. Its founders appreciate the fact, however, that it will succeed only in proportion to the interest which the citizens take in it. Their personal participation in its operations and aspirations are the requisites for its continued success. The broad basis of its organization invites a general participation of the citizenship, and it is sincerely to be hoped that the men and women of the community will realize how important it is for them not only to join but also to take part in the working of the chamber. Mere payment of the annual fee of membership does not bespeak real interest, for it merely indicates affiliation. What is needed and wanted is the active help, advice and work of the man or woman that stands back of the membership. That element is of infinitely greater importance to the ultimate welfare of the Chamber of Commerce than is the cold fact of having your name enrolled on the membership list.
The city has wanted an energetic Chamber of Commerce for many years. The realization of
that hope is here, but it remains for the citizens to prove by their membership and their participation that they were really in earnest when they expressed a desire for the formation of a Chamber of Commerce.
Answers to Questions
READER Who made famous the phrase "conspicuous by his absence?" Lord John Russell (1792-1878), the eminent British statesman, seems to have populariled this phrase by its use in an address to the electors of the cjty of London, but he averred that he' took it "from one of the greatest historians of antiquity," alluding, doubtless, to a passage in Tacitus describing the funeral of Junia, wife of Cassius and 6ister of Brutus, where he says that though the images of 20 illustrious families were carried before
the bier, those of Brutus and Cassius!
were not displayed, but for that very reason they shone with pre-eminent luster. R. B. N. Please describe the government of Haiti. The legislative power of Haiti is constituted in a national assembly, consisting of two chambers, the chamber of communes and the senate. Members of the former are elected for three years by direct vote, and the latter for six years by vote of the lower house. The two chambers in joint session, elect a president, whose term is seven years, and who is ineligible for re-election except after the interval of at least one term. The United States established a virtual protectorate over the republic by a treaty ratified by the Haitian national assembly in November. 1915, and by the United States senate in February, 1916.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
j THE BEAUTIFUL. If there really is another life beyond t he one winch we now live, it must be a very wonderful one for there is so much beauty in this one. It is true that many see but a little of the beauty here and now and even those of us who have been so blessed thai we see much, in reality see but a relatively small part of all that there Is to see. To those who are heavy in heart, or hungry in stomach, or poor in pocket book, beauty has little appeal. And are plenty of such. So that there is a responsibility that is thrust upon all of us on whom good fortune has smiled. In the first, place, the great Creator made a most beautiful world. Beauty is everywhere. The most barren desert has its points of beauty. And whether it be some perfect tree or flower or some dead and broken art of nature, still beauty does not die. It only changes form. And in the heart of every human there is planted the love of beauty. The savage early sought to bring it out in has carvings and scanty dress. And all down the path of civilization there is this strange development of the beautiful. It's the love and appreciation of the beautiful that adds zest and spirit to pn otherwise hard existence and makes us feel that there is very much more to this life than we understand.
Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON
NOT WANTED. With my twplve kids and aunt and wife I'm sadly wearing out my life in search of rooms where we may dwell, 'most any shelter, poor or swell. I have the price, I am not broke, but
landlords view me as a joke, and shoo me from them with a jeer, and cry, "No kids are wanted here!" They might accomodate my aunt, but take in kids they simply can't! And I have called at sundry fiats where there were plain and fancy cats; hand-fed Angoras slept and purred in luxury obscene, absurd, when human offspring were denied a needed resting place inside. And in apartments goods or mean fat pampered bow-wows I have seen; they idly played their canine games, the pets of fat and pampered dames; but landlords who thought daschunds right, and sheltered tomcats day and night, looked on my twelve assorted kids, and then turned clown my highest bids. All kinds of live stock find repose in modern flats and joints like those; and even monkeys and their ilk recline on sofas decked in silk, and noisy parrots caw and whoop in many a rich exclusive coop; but when I go with my twelve kids, resplendent in their Sunday lids, and my nice wife and queenly aunt, to find a dwelling place, I can't.

In "Main Street," Sinclair Lewis satirizes the old homo town for its smugness, carelessness and general illiteracy. It reminds me of the time when Sis Lasher came back to Half Moon mountain after her schooling down to Little Rock. She began correcting the grammar of the family. Grandpa Lasher with his "have saw" drove Sis wild. She corrected him a hundred times, and when it didn't take
she was ready to have a fit. Ma took Sis by the hair and pulled her off of the old timer, saying: "Nev er mind this 'have-saw' talk. Grandpap was 'have-sawMng long afore you was born, and if you don't shut up, he'll be 'have-sawing' at your funeral." "Grammar are all right, but hog and hominy comes afore grammar. We had corn to sell or you wouldn't ever a went to school. We wouldn't never had these corn fields if your have-saw grandpop hadn't cleared 'em. Ho have sawed and pap have sawed and the hull fambly have sawed to get money to eddicate you to come back here and ell us 'have sawed' ain't good gram mar. Wrell, it's a good livin', ain't it?" And that is the way with Main street and the old home toown. It gathered the alfalfa that educated its sons to come back and call it a hick town. A new point against the melodrama has been scored by Frank M. Colby. In melodrama devlish men are always trying to force a match with women who are so saintly that only a demigod could possibly live with them, Ahlf is a baker in Somerville, N. J. They say an Ahlf loaf is better than none.
Some time ago a young man called cn the father of a beautiful girl, and told him in a faltering voice that the greatest desire of his life was to become his son-in-law. "Ahem!" responded the fond father, turning a scowling expression on the matrimonial candidate. "So you want to marry my daughter, do you?" "Yes, sir," faltered the young man, "that is, if you have no objections." ".Tiist wait a minute" returned the
practical parent. "How are your
finances? Are you in a position to support a family?" "I don't know, sir," answered the

You were taught at school that your body undergoes a complete change of structure every seven years. This tearing down and building up process of body tissue continues without a moment's pause throughout life. And when a man gets into a physical condition that the tissues keep breaking down and wasting away faster than Nature can replace them, right then he begins to grow "old". This doesn't necessarily mean, however, that he has reached an advanced age. Thousands upon thousands of people begin to break down, their vital organs giving evidence of fast approaching decay, long before they reach middle age simply because they fail to give Nature, at the proper time, the needed help to rebuild. If you are beginning to show the slightest sign of a physical "let-down" ii you are losing your old time "pep" vim and vigor if high tension energy and nervous strain are beginning to tell on you it's a sure 6ign that you are growing "old" too old for your years. You've reached that stage where your vital forces need rebuilding. Don't make the seriousmistake
