Butchering Trepjt Ruins Their Beauty iifileijrh, Apr. 7.—The practice of topping old trees is doing much to ruin the beauty of home (grounds, yet many examples of this butchering are seen in different parts of North Carolina at this time of the year, states Prof. J. P. Pillsburg, horticul turist at the State college of agricul ture. Professor Pillsbury says that he recently visited a town which is re 'earkable for the number of beauti ful trees ir, the neighborhood. There was one grove of about 20 oaks which because of their beauty had attract ed his atention many times. Oaks are! taprooted and not liikely to blow over. Those in this grove were relatively voung and in the prime of life anil beauty. If anything, they may have been a little too thick, but the re moval of five or six or more would have let in sufficient light and air and made it possible for the remainder to! thicken up in trunk and foliage and continue to fo>’m a grove which with I towering neight and magnificent pro portions would have been impressive and sublime. "Istead,” says Professor pillsbury “every one of the trees had been lop ned off a few feet above the olwest branches, leaving a jagged mass of noles and naked stubs! The destruc tion seemed a desecration in this in stance, since on all sides were groves of untouched beauty and grandeur. “Topping such trees is both injurious and needless hutcherv of the very ob jects which make North Carolina homes so wonderfully attractive in outward appearance. There may he some instance* in which cutting back the limbs of old trees may he desir able, and heading in poplars and oth er tall and quick growing kinds, when young, may cause them to thicken up and becomh stronger, hut in the ma jority of cases this practice should be severely avoided. “The chief beauty of a tree is Its form, and ‘heading in’ may he done in such fi way as to preserve this! characteristic of every kind of tree,! but ‘topping’ as here practiced do- j “troys it for all time. If tree’tops! must be reduced, do it by cutting bark several of the longest limbs and to a branch in each case. This method will reduce the top weight and yet preserve the form of the head. The wounds should be made clos<> to the fork, he smoothed, and painted with (food thick tar or asphalt paint to I preserve them from disease and pro- ^ mote healing. In any ease, never leave a ‘stub’ with no branches, but at least) a cluster of twigs near its end, to con 1 tinue its growth! If trees are too numerous, cut some of them out hot i do not butcher them. We ought to! have a society for the prevention of j cruelty to trees." Tricks of Fate. James Buckley and Josephine Buck ley met at a dance in Boston a year ago. They were naturally attracted by the similarity of their names. In the course of time James confessed his boundless love for her. “I love you too. James,” she told him. They went to their parish priest to he married. He investigated their birth records— And found they were brother and Sister; more than that, twins! Fifteen years ago they were in mates of the same orphans’ home They did not remember being separ atee!. They are very happy now. “I d rather have a brother than a husband, anyhow,” Josephine smil ingly announced. The world of business, like the world of social life, is so regulated that only by paying attention to the needs of our neighbors can we gain good for ourselves. * In the last issue of The Star two of i the prize-winning essays in the Milk for-Health campaign were carried. A1 though written by school children of | the county they were instructive and | informing. Today, two more essays | are carried. The first, “The Use of Milk in th ■ Home,” is by Ethelyn Padgett, of the fifth grade, Braver ; Dam school, and fhe second, “Food Value in Milk', 4s by Wyan Washburn i ixth grade. Double Springs school. “Milk in the Home.” (By Ethelyn Padgett.) Milk should be used in every home | atid at every meal. Milk is a whole diet for people to drink. It makes people healthy and strong. Milk helps to build up the body and resistance to disease■■ germs. I'; also supplies energy which enables the body to work and develop ihe muscles of the young. Mill: is readily digested and needs no cooking or other preparation for the table. Every child should drink at least a quart of milk each day. Milk is a nourishing food and rich in body building substances. Don't skim milk, drink it whole. Mi'k is this one common food which supplk 5 all vltamincs. The lack of fresh milk in a child’s diet is liable to have serious consequences not only is he deprived of the best of foods for normal growth and development, but often he receives injurious substitutes instead. In many families where the children receive no milk, tea and coffee are used to take its place. Con equently the children are pale and apt fully developed. It is a common pla-e : aying that milk is a perfect food and should be used in every home. “Food Value in Milk.” (By Wynn Washburn.)

One quart of I milk contains in energy and protein | as: 9 oz. steak; 7 eggs; 22 oz. fowl. Milk has such a soothing effect up on a weak rundown person that it is sometimes said persons having tuber culosis have been started on the road to health again, by drinking milk, while it is warm. Many children of today do not have the right kind of food as is shown by the large percentage suffering from malnutrition. Improper feeding of children means decreased vitality and i lowered resistance to disease. If they could have plenty of whole milk to drink, there would be no such suffer ing. The first food a family should have j is milk, and the la t food to be dis-. pensed is Milk. It is not the only food, but it is the most important food. It is indispensable for children and within reasonable limits, econo-! mical and desirable in the daily food of adults. OVERMAN ONCE STOPPED HECKLERS AT SPEAKING! I Philadelphi a Public Ledger. ! Senator Overman of North Caro-' lina, is one of the most aristocratic: i looking members of the upper house' !—to say nothing of being the most I berygn and easy-going. But you earn | never tell what lies beneath a man’s! pique vest. When h? was a member of the state legislature, Overman was spon sor for a measure providing that all farms should be fenced in, and a num ber of people were inconvenienced by the expense—and very much vexed. At a meeting in the midst of a heated campaign, half the audience began to veil and gihe when Overman started to speak, intending r.ot to allow him to he heard at all. Overman drew a large revolver out of his pocket and laid it on the table table in front of him as casuqlly as if it were a glass of water. The uproar cc?«ed for a momen, and Overman said: “There are a number of people here who came because they desired to1 hear me sneak, I propose that they shall not be disappointed. Anyone who does not wish to hear what I have to say mav now' withdraw quietly. And the first man to make a disturbance is going to hear from me in a way that will not be relished by either himself or his family.” The meeting proceeded in as or derly and pleasant a manner as a Methodist picnic. ' A dental student was arrested re cently for killing and then robbing i man. It’s a habit young men have of becoming over-enthusiastic in their work.
