teen and eighteen miles long, In St. Joseph county will be a memorial to the men and women who served In the world war. The cross will be composed of 5,000 trees one for each man or woman in fhe service. The Lincoln and Dixie highways, which intersect in this county, will be lined with elms, maples and other suitable trees to form memorial avenues. This township is believed to be the first in the United States to present

a definite organization in which citizens will have full charge of memorial plans, relieving the American Legion, which had taken first steps. "More trees will be planted this fall in St. Joseph county than In any

ether in the Union, unless other vicinities do some remarkably fast work in the meantime." said Mrs. J. E. Neff, Jr.', whose mind the plan of organization, to be used here, was first formulated. Legion Relieved of Work. Mrs. Neff, who has been active in local civic movements, first thought of the plan when she learned that the American Legion had voted for a memorial tree project. ' It seemed unfair that the soldiers should supply their own memorial," she said. Accordingly after working out a plan, she laid it before a number of business men here, who heartily indorsed the project. The

j region giaaiy reunquisnea icaaersnip to a citizens' committee, to which it

pledged full co-operation

A permanent organization has been

formed with an executive committee

of fifteen, including a vice-president

from each township. The treasurer

has been bonded. An organizatien

committee of seventy-five is being

formed, including members from each

township

Each township, whether on the memorial highways or not, will partici

pate. Certain parts of the avenues will be assigned to each township, and

thereon trees will be planted, honoring their own service men and women. Records to Be Kept. Every tree will definitely represent a soldier, sailor or Red Cross nurse who served. The trees will be bought by individual families, and full records of ownership will be kept in the county offices. Citizens who buy tree3 can choose their location on special detail maps, which also will be a part of the permanent . record. Each tree will be numbered and prices will be low enough so that every citizen will have an opportunity to "line up" on a basis of absolute equality. "There will be little solicitation, but much publicity will be given to the plan," said Mrs. Neff. "We are trying to make the system so attractive that when it is presented to individuals they will be anxious to volunteer to do their part." Not only those who gave their lives, but those who were willing to do so, although not called on to make this sacrifice, will have memorials. Each living soldier will have a tree,' and

when he dies it will become a monument to his memory. Quota for Townships. The townships will be assigned their quota of trees in accordance -with the number of men who served. Trees will be planted only under the super- ' vision of the association. As far as possible existing natural beauties will be retained, and no trees now standing which have a chance to live will be removed. The association will act only after obtaining the best advice available from local and out-of-town experts and

state officials. The trees will be uniform in size and variety, conforming to the soil and to local conditions. E. C. Bird, county agricultural agent, making a test of soil along the Lincoln highway, which will be the first of the two roads to be planted. Rights of traffic, drainage, telegraph and telephone poles will be taken into consideration in planting the trees. A landscape gardenpr has been inspecting the route of the highway to ascertain how many miles of trees can be planted without grading and filling. Recommendations from experts in Washington, D. C. Chicago and other cities indicate that the white elm, NorA PRETTY YOKE FROCK FOR SMALL GIRLS' .

To Preserve Individualities. While the trees will be planted closely enough to obtain an avenue effect, they will be far enough apart to preserve the individuality of each tree. The association will co-operate with state forestry and other state officials, including Richard Lieber, state conservation commission; R H. Hinkle. chief engineer of maintenance, and L. B. Dean, state forestry, and tho latter have been invited to come to South Bend soon for conference. Governor Warren T. McCray has given his approval to Mrs. Neffs plan, and has expressed the hope that it will be adopted along the entire route of the Lincoln highway in Indiana. "After the plan is a proved, suc

cess, we will be glad to assist any county if they feel that any part of

our plan will prove useful to them," Mrs. Neff said. Indorsed by A. R. Erskine. A. R. Erskine, president of the Studebaker corporation, which has its general offices at South Bend, was one

of the first to indorse the project after it had been explained to bim by Mrs. Neff. Other members of the executive committee are George O'Brien, H. Gail Davis, F. A. Miller, H. W. Eldridge, Joseph M. Stephenson, C. C. Shafer, George Williams, M. T. Calef (state representative), J. C. Ellsworth, Mrs. Neff, Mrs. John Reynolds, Mrs. F. R. Whitehall, all of South Bend, and Mrs. W. E. Butterworth and L. W. Chandler, of Mishawauka. The officers of the association are: Mrs. Neff, president; Mrs. John Reynolds, secretary, Edgar L. Kelsev, treasurer ,and Mrs. Frank Whitehall, assistant treasurer. "Five thousand trees, planted by 5,000 families for 5,000 boys," is ,he slogan which has been adopted. While full details have not been worked out, it is thoneht rcrnhahlo

that the first township to volunteer its full quota of trees will receive the privilege of plaintlng the first tree. A trowel in the possession of Mrs. Warren G. Harding .wife of the Pres. ident, will be used.

SAY WARFEL REMOVAL

OBJECT OF CAMPAIGN The Boston Transcript, in an article on political conditions in Indiana, has the following to say about a change in the state oil inspection department: "For the last week there has been a renewed and persistent drive on the governor to get him 'to make changes' in the oil inspection ' department. What the campaigners most desire is

the discharge of Edward Warfel, who

is now the man on the job, working under the management of the food

and drug commissioner. The cam

paigners have even gone so far, it is

said, as to suggest a man for the place. The presumption is, of course.

that with a proper substitute for War

fel it would be easy enough to get

control of the subordinates."

Mr. Warfel is a former resident of Richmond, and has been active in po

litical anairs.
