SAVE TREES IN TOWN
Down on Franklin avenue, below
The Bulletin office, stands a dying,
if not already dead, pine tree. The
tree happened to be just in the curb
line and when the curbs were pnt
in in connection with the street pav
ing Its roots were cut so that the
curb could run aong in a straight
line and without Interruption. When
the work was done there was some
thought given to saving the tree.
That is evident In the fact of what
was done theYe.' Had no thought been
given the pine would merely have;
been cut down and the roots grubbed
out. There was not sufficient!
thought, however, or what there was!
did not have behind It sufficient
knowledge. Too much root was cut
away and the pine is dying.
It was a small pine and not an es
pecially beautiful one. Perhaps its
loss will not be greatly noticed. The
way it has gone, however, and the
needlessness of it suggests a thought
for saving like trees that may be
left. We have offered this plan be
fore. The fact that nothing has been
done toward bringing it about indi
cates an indifference that should be
changed if Bend wants to preserve
one of its great natural assets. It is
simply that the office of tree warden
be provided by ordinance and a suit
able person appointed to the Job. It
should be easy to find someone suf
ficiently Interested to serve without
pay.
The care of street trees is a mun
icipal function, says a recent govern
ment publication, which is mentioned
In an article in this paper. This rec
ommends the appointment of a com
mission to have charge of the work.
A commission is not necessary here.
However, the park board might be
given supervision of all trees on the
streets. This board, or a warden,
should have full authority In the
matter and there should be heavy,
penalties for cutting a root or a
branch without permission.
A little intelligent action, such as
has been shown on Congress street
would have saved the Franklin aven
ue pine. May we have it for our other
trees?

Evil Report
I hold that Amos Aikensidc is all pure wool and
three feet wide. I've dealt with him for many moons
and got the worth of my doubloons. He's sold me
milk and melted ice, and always at a decent price.
Men say that Amos must be watched; his moral
character is botched, and if he pets a chance, they
say, he'l bring his harpoon into play. My neighbors
sometimes say, "Gadzooks, why patronize that
prince of crooks?" Perhaps the truth has not been
told; who knows what grudges they may hold
against this Amos Aikenside, who sells fresh hen
fruit, plain or fried? Terhaps their hatred is be
stowed .because he asked for what they owed; for
many people's heads get sore when they lose credit
at the store: Perhaps they hate this Amos jay be
cause he doesn't vote their way. A score of reasons
might be found why they rear up when he's around,
but while old Amos treats me right I shall not say
to him, "Good night." What others say about a
gent does not impress me worth a cent, so long as
he seems good and straight, and gives full measure,
honest weight. Of worth man cannot be a judge if
he is moved by every grudge that drooling gossips
may expound, with futile heat and empty sound.

PLANTING AND CARE OF TREES
DECLARED MUNICIPAL FUNCTION
One of the characters in an early
day Americans romance of the time
when the Stamp Act was causing all
kinds ot trouble is recorded as de
claring that New York never would
be a real business city because Broad
way and Maiden Lane were lined
with trees. The Van Vrooms, the
Stuyvesants, the Artavelts, and other
early settlers of the country saved
fine trees about their homes, on the
village greens, along the country
roads, and in the fields. But one will
see no trees nowadays on Broadway,
and Maiden Lane has been transform
ed from the pleasant, tree-bordered
region of Dutch homes with flower
gardens into the busiest wholesale
jewelry district in America, If not the
world.
Beauty and comfort gave way to
the inroads of commerce, not only
in New York but in most of Amer
ica's great cities, so that today trees
In a business street are a rare sight.
There are elm-shaded villages in New
England; maple-shaded towns in New
York and the Ohio Valley, and there
are oak tree streets to be seen In the
Southeastern states, but for the most
part this refers only to small towns
or cities never to the congested
centers of population where they
should have been preserved. Wash
ington, the National Capital, is one
of the exceptions, and even there
the plantings were not always wisely
arranged.
The tree growth on the streets of
the average American town or city
is ragged and unkempt In appearance.
while that of the suburb or small,
village often is not much better un-1
less the planting has been done under 1
j municipal control, and the plantings j
on a street have been confined to a
.single kind of tree. The telegraph.!
the telephone, the electric light, and (
l the trolley car have added their share j
.toward the mutilation or destruction
of the good trees that were In exist
ence at the time of their coming.
Faulty methods of pruning have
caused disfigurement and ruin. "Sue-1
cess follows the careful planting of
good trees which are given adequate
protection and timely attention,"!
says Farmers' Bulletin 1209, Plant
ing and Care of Street Trees, just Is
sued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. "Every tree
should be trained to its proper form
while young, so that severe pruning
will not be necessary later. Guards
are necessary, too. for several years.
"To the mutilation of severe prun
ing has been added the destruction
of many trees in centers of business
because they excluded a little light,
or made the store less prominent, or
were somewhat In the way of using
'the sidewalk for merchandise."
The bulletin insists that providing
'shade on city streets Is as much a
'municipal function as providing
lights and sidewalks, and should,
therefore, be cared for by public of
ficials. Probably the most efficient
; way of arranging for proper super-'
vision. It says, is through an unpaid
.commission of three or five members,
I which In turn employs an executive
GOSSIP FORM OF INSANITY?
City Authorities Who Have Dealt
. With the Problem Ar 8trongly
of That Opinion.
Men and women who gossip, said
Dr. E. H. Bullock of Chicago, city
health director, cannot he In tlielr
light mind, and should be given the
closest attention to get them back to
normal. They have been called "as
sassins of character." and R. C. B.
Jenkins, a psychologist and secretary
to the board of police commissioners,
Chicago, says. In the Detective, Febru
ary, 1921, that the nelghborhool gossip
and the anonymous letter writer have
one of the nastiest, lowest and most
vicious forms of Insanity known to
medical circles. Their distorted Imag
ination visualises scenes which they
would have come true, and their In
sane mind Immediately grasps the
tory and they repeat It as if It were
true.
' Gossip snd anonymous letters, says
the New York Medical Journal, are a
constant pest at police heuditiarters,
but reports registered with police olrt

by these means or false telephonic
reports are a fnllure; In fact, the po
