The Lucknow Sentinel, 1924-09-25, Page 3I Roadside Trees—Canada and France By R. B. Meredith.RED ROS In our maturer Canadian cities and in hundreds of progressive towns trees have become one of the principal fac­ tors in municipal beautification. The Canadian, countryside, however, too frequently shows no such systematic cultivation of tree life and th roads in consequence become little more than a lonely man-made motor path. It is interesting to study a country that has lived on its land for centuries and whose rural conditions are the results of mature development. Here at home, during the last century, the change has been drastic, and in parts we have passed from extreme to ex- j treme from a densely wooded land, to • a countryside barren of trees. The Old World is old, and old-fas-! hioned, but she has more to teach than ' she has to learn. In one respect, tree ’ preservation, she is particularly sane and wise and Canada would profit by i following suit. France and Germany are famed for their extensive forest re­ serves; but in France, the systematic utilization of the roadsides almost uni­ versally for tree plantation, is of chief concerned in the origin of the names interest to Canadians. The roads and canals are bordered by single, double, and sometimes triple rows of trees. In the North of France these are generally Plane or Poplar; and in the South more often Pine, Olive or Cork. In the table-lands the road dies in the distance holding an unswerving tree-framed vista to the horizon. In the hilly country, the avenues of trees writhe up and down the valley wall disappearing to reappear miles away on slope. The lower branches of the being constantly collected for faggot! fuel, and on many species a regular pruning is carried on by the thrifty farmers. Ranks of naked trunks, by the roadsides or separating field from field, are often seen, the limbs all hav­ ing been sawn close off, and the bald stubby post having not yet. sprouted its fresh crop of branches. This pol­ larding for fuel is carried out very' generally and on practically every kind of tree. The French are very thrifty. I re-; member one Frenchman from the North exclaiming with horror at the sight of ungathered twigs and branch­ es on the wooded hillsides by the Mediterranean. In the North, trees are scarce and the smallest limbs are collected. When the trees have reached a fair state of maturity they are cut and util­ ized. In their place are planted sap­ lings, and within a year a healthy avenue of young trees flourish in place of the old. One does not regret seeing them cut, they go into good use, and immediately young trees are planted to replace them. Here at home we treasure what groves of trees we find in the country and are furious when some selfish farmer “rings” a fine Elm, some tele­ phone line demands the slaughter of a row of trees, or a soulless road-fore­ man clears a clump from near his sacred ditch. We would not mind if the established custom was growing— cutting, and REPLACING—but it is short sighted butchery that irritates. TEA.

When pay day came Around in Per- i mas-ens, Germany, recently, the fac­ tory owners were up against it for cash. The scarcity of liquid capital is quite as acute in the shoe industry as it is in any branch of German trade. A novel way was .-(might out of the dilemma. Instead of paying the men off in marks, they gave*them each a pair of shoes as part payment of their wages. An hour later virtually the whole shoe working population had been transformed into a .sales aggregation. From store to store wandered heads of families, trying to dispose of their pair of slices in return for things to eat. i Music is a necessity, not a lux- Every child has an inherent right musical education Utility through music is a means abruptly, a distant trees are Autumn Days. “Then followed that beautiful season, Called by the pious Acadian peasants, the summer of All-Saints, Filled was the air with a dreamy and light; and the land-magical scape Lay as if new ness of Peace seemed created in all the fresh­ childhood. to reign upon earth, and the restless heart of the ocean Was for a moment consoled.

HUTTON Racial Origin-—English. Source—A locality, also a character-’ istic. This is a family name, which, if one ' judged it by one of its meanings alone should be classified as a variation of ( the names Houghton and Haughton, ’ for in a large number of cases it is de- i rived from a place name which means I “high-town.” Both the place and the name, however (which is Hutton),’ have an Identity distinct from those Hoghton and Haughton. But there Is another derivation of the family name, from the old Norman- French word “hutain,” meaning “proud.” The mention of such char­ acteristics as this in connection with a man’s name with the same given name, was quite common in the middle 1 ages. At that period, just prior to the development of family names and co­ incident with it, populations were in­ creasing so rapidly, and shifting as well, and the same given names were . applied to so many persons, that some further method of differentiation, such ■ as mention of the place whence a man had come, or of some personal char- ; acteristic of his, was the rule rather ■ than the exception. Those who can trace their ancestry back to a form of the name prefixed either by “de” or “le” will have no dif- , Acuity in determining whether their family names developed from the ! place name or the nickname. The “de” ' indicates the former and the “le” the i latter. MUNSON. Variations—Monson, Manson. Racial Origin—English, also Scottish. Source—Given names. Munson is a family name of quite simple and regular origin, but you’d hardly guess the given name from which it comes unless you were fa­ miliar with the manner in which the English of the Middle Ages abbrevi­ ated their given names. Many of the shortened forms of given names were the same as those we use to-day, such as Dick for Richard, Har- I ry for Henry, Ed. for Edward, Edgar or Edmond, and so on. But there was ■ also a method of using other syllables of a name than the first, for purposes ■ of abbreviation and variation. This j has virtually disappeared among Eng­ lish-speaking peoples, though it re­ mains among the Germans, among whom Hans for John (from .Johannes) is widespread. In medieval England “Munn,” “Mun” and “Mon” were regular variations of Edmond and Edmund, and the simple addition of the ending ‘son” to one or the other of these forms has given us the patronymics Munson, Monson and in some cases, through further varia­ tion, Manson Manson, however, is more likely be of Scottish origin, a development “Magnus-son.” This is the name one‘of the septs or branches of the Clan Gunn, that clan which rose to pro­ minence in the fifteenth century as the followers of George Gunn, the “Crown- er” or Coroner, a historic figure in Scottish history. to of of Cautious Horse. Harris prided himself on a thorough knowledge of horses and their habits, and so he was interested when, on a visit to the country, he saw a farmer having some trouble with his mount. It would start, amble along slowly for a short distance and then stop. Then the farmer' would have great dif­ ficulty in getting it started again. Finally Harris approached the farmer and asked kindly: “Is your horse sick?” “Not reply. Is he “No. as I know of,” was the short balky?” But he’s so afraid I’ll say; ‘Whoa!’ and he won’t hear me that he stops every once in a while to listen.” ----------------------- Patients did better in tents than in' any other accommodation—this is one - of the lessons of the Great War. - -Longfellow. Summer Night. Night stealthily stirs with motion, A black panther switching its tail Restlessly to and fro. It crouches ready to spring, But Dawn steals near And with soft stroking fingers Turns it into a tame tabby cat, Stretching sleepily. Night is full of a boating silence The half remembered drumming of surf Along a sloping beach. Night gathers itself To burst into crashing noise But ever is held by the endless rhythm, The ebb and flow of its long throbbing silence; Pierced and shattered at last By the slir’il cry of waking birds. ■ -Helen Danforth Prudden.

Here is a musical creed worthy of the attention of all Canadians. We believe that: 1. ury. 2. to a 3. to civic improvement. 4 Patriotism is developed by music. 5. The spirit of comradeship—re­ gardless of race or creed, is induced by music. 6. Music is the most useful medium in constructive work in any com­ munity. Inferior places of entertain­ ment are being rapidly abolished, there must be established in their stead places cf cican amusement. 7. Music tends to encourage a high­ er form of citizenship. 8. Music is a powerful curative for mental, moral and physical ailments 9. Every city cf 10,000 or more should build a memorial community club house, as the fountain head for branches of music, and social activity for the entertainment of the peoples of that locality. And in these serious days of un­ rest, it is well to remember that by giving greater encouragement to music, much of the present discontent, now existing among -the masses, will be done away with. More music and kindlier co-operation between the vari­ ous sections of our communities will make Canada the envy of the world.

In California, if you grow a mari­ huana bush you risk imprisonment for three months. Marihuana is the Span­ ish-American name for hasheesh, or Indian hemp. It grows freely, and its smaller leaves and seeds are dried, crushed, and made up into cigarettes. Although the cost of production is much less than that of ordinary tobac­ co cigarettes, the retail price in underworld is as much as ten or teen cents each. The drug first exhilarates smoker, and then completely upsets his self-control.

A colony of beavers repaired a dam near Bellefort, Pa., that was 200 feet wide and from four to ten feet deep. Fishermen and fanners had consider­ ed repairing the dam for several years, but were deterred because of the expense involved. The beavers performed as good a job as the aver­ age dam builder.A Boy With a Big Conscience. A curious thing happened to me when I was a lad!” remarked old Mr. Markham. “When I was ten years old my father died, leaving my mother in straitened circumstances With a large family to support. My older sisters at once began to teach, and as soon as I was old enough I found a job in a clothing store. The work hard, but one thing .troubled me. father was a teetotaler and had taught me to think it wlong to drink. Well, there was an old gentleman who stopped daily at the store on his way home and took a drink of whiskey. We did not sell whiskey, but he kept his bottle and glass there because it was convenient. As I was the young­ est clerk, it was my duty to bring the bottle and glass when he came in. “Well, I worried about it a good deal and finally went to the head of the firm and told him my conscience I would not allow me to encourage any ■ man to drink. He looked at me in amazement; then his face turned red, and he cried, ‘See here, boy, are you trying to be impudent?’ “ ‘No, sir,’ I replied, ‘but I just don’t think it’s right.’ “ ‘Well,’ he said, ‘no one stays in my store who can’t take orders from me! You may get your pay and leave at the end of the week.’ “That was a blow! When I went home I told my mother the news. She sighed and said: ‘You were quite right, my son. I would not have you disobey your conscience for all the money in the world!’ “When the week ended and I was paid in full I was told to my great as­ tonishment that the firm would pre­ sent me with any suit of clothes in the store that I wished to have. I was much pleased and walked out with my new suit under my arm, feeling almost cheerful. “I had not gone two stepe before one of the owners next door accosted he asked. “I was too much wer. “I hear you’re leaving Brown’s on account of an •-conscience!’ he the kind of a. needing in our too much conscience in a drug store.
