CAMDEN. THE CITY BEAUTIFUL
Spring coming as it did late this
year made possibly. a riot of color in
the yards and parka of Camden. Nature
ha* been lavish with her paint
j>ot. Wistaria, the vine that swing*
so gracefully from trees and trellises
has been loaded with its beautiful
lilac flowers. Trees in the
yards of the homes of C. P. DuBose,
K. K. Holland, W. A. Bush and VV.
H. Zeinp liave made motorists stop
to admire.
Green Leaf Villa is especially beautiful
at this season with its porches
covered with wistaria. The handsome
homes of H. G. Harrison, Sr., on
Broad street an<l ('. J. Shannon, Jr.,
on Chesnut, are lovely to behold. The
home of Mrs. W. L. Wright on (Ticsnut
street has wistaria of white festooned
upon the porches.
Azaleas of gorgeous hue can be
seen in the yards of (lus Hirsch and
L. T. Mills. In Holly Hedge, the
l>eautiful estate of K. L. Woodward,
n riot of colors, azaleas in all their
lovely shades are seen and from trees
and bushes blaze all colors of the
raintx>w.
Yellow jasamine sets the keynote
of the cclfir scheme of the gardens
of Harry I). Kirkovcr. and W. J. May
field. A peigola in the yard of W
H. Haile is intertwiued with yellow
jasamne, the ^weet sine ol ti'.c

of evergreen shrubs the flowers of

side and against the house is a perfect
glory of graceful wistaria blossoms.
Mrs. W. N. Kerr's home on Green
street has the lovely Banksia rose
trained over the doorway as has also
Mrs. G. G. Alexander's home on
Isiurens street, where Baivksia and
wistaria rival one another in lovo'iness.
At Frank F.. Goursen's home in
Kirk wood and in R. B. Deljoaehe'*
yard the wistaria is lovely where it
clambers over pine and oak in festoons.

BEHOLD THE HEN!
Did you ever stop to think?that
hard times mean nothing to a hen?
She just keeps on digging worms and
laying eggs regardless of what the
newspapers say about conditions. If
the ground is tyml she scratches
harder. If it's dry .-he digs deeper.
If she strikes a r<x*k, she digs around
it. But. always she dies up worms
and turns them into hard-shelled
profits, as well as temper broiler*.

A 110-year prison sentence Wed
nesday was imposed on Haul \Vupper,
bigamist-banker, who immigrated
front Germany to become president
of the Beeiner, Neb., State bank,
which collapsed in 1928. He pleaded
guilty in district court in West Point,
Neb., to ten forgery offenses, each of
which contained two counts. For
each off ems e he was fined $;">00. For
the first offense he was sentonced to
20 years in prison, and for each
of the nine others ten years. The
state charged Wupper/embezzled approximately
a million dollars fromi the
bank before he disappeared in September,
1928. He told authorities
that money which disappeared from

that he now was penniless.

PERSHING'S WAR STORY
The memoirs of General Pershing
are a graphic record of the \\ orld
War. Their chapters, the first of
which appear in today's (chronicle,
survey the great conflict from a
broad viewpoint with an intimate understanding
of the influences that led
to the major decisions of the Allies
in regard to the conduct of the canipaign-i
against the enemy.
Now that more than a dozen years
have passed since the termination of
the war. there is an opportunity to
review its episodes in the calnuv
light of today. Wartime reports and
those immediately following the war
were coiwiou>!y or Tim Mseiously a

conflict. He \\;s m em>e communication
at all times with the leaderof
the forces co-cq>eraiing with the
Americans and knows the details of
the formal and informal discussions
preceding the determination of the
policies to be followed. The general
throws a light upon many incidents
that lhave been clouded in mystery.
He describes the early arguments about
the American participation and
the squabble over whether our soldiers
should fight as a unit or be
merged with the French and British
troops.
The first of the Pershing articles
is published. in The Chronicle today.
It is well to read them from the
start in order to obtain a comprehensive
picture of the entire situation.
Twenty Houm? In One Tree
California redwood occaaionally
reaches a di#met*r of fcW*rto<y fa*tabout
5 feet from the swelling near,
er the ground. Import* of >yen larger
tinea are common, but too frequently
their dimeneione ehrink
when large butteneaee, femg* or{root
swelling* are discounted.
it is of particular Inteanet, writes
Emanuel KriU in American Forests
(Washington) to look over the dimensions
of what is actually a twentyfoot
tree, and to learn what an Inconceivably
large amount of lumber
such a tree might yield. We read:
"Recently, Capt. A. W. Klam, a
forest engineer of Humboldt county,
California, came across ? large and
particularly fine tree while cruising
on the company's holdings. This report
created so much interest among
his employers that he was instructed
to make careful measurements of the
tree, oven though it w^as in a remote
portion of the property.
"He found this tree to be 30H feet
high and to have a diameter of twenty
feet, measured five feet above the
ground. The bark measured eleven
inches in thickness, leaving the diameter
of the wroody portion eighteen
feet, two inches.
"Captain Flam's tree is not unusual
us to height', a number of individual
trees have been measured by foresters
and lumbermen that greatly exceeded
IKK) feet, but they lack the
diameter and gentle taper of the-tree
here described. For example,' one
tree recently measured by engineers
of the Pacific Lumber company, was
found to have a height of 3i64 feet,
but its diameter was only twelve feet.!
''Particularly remarkable is the
fullness of the trunk of the Humboldt
county tree. The taper from the
ground is so slight, that at a point
230 feet from the ground (the diameter
is still over twelve feet. Up to
this point the -tree would give fourteen
logs, each of the standard sixteen-foot
length.
"If the tree is jwrfectly sound
throughout, these fourteen logs should
yield the astounding total of over
3f>0,000 hoard feet of merchantable
lumber?sufficient for the lumber requirements
o? twenty-two average
homes. Captain Elam made n)lowance
for some breakage in falling,
and for the heavy bark.
"Many years ago a large church
was built in Santa Rosa, California,
every stick of which is s&id to ha\e
bee.n cut from the same tree. Not
long ago, a scaler, measuring the
logs on a recently felled track, found
portions of it to contain as much as
1,000,000 board feet an acre.
"This figure may mean very little
to one not accustomed to estimating
timber, but, when it is recalled that
very little timber in the eastern
United States and many portions
of the West will average 25,000 board
feet an acre over large areas, it is
easy to visualize such an acre of
redwond n- equivalent t" forty good
acres elsewhere, or to see in < ap;
tain Flam's one tree the equivalent of
| nearly fifteen acres of rather good
' eastern timber.

j SMALLEST CHURCH IN AMERICA
It Seats Only Eight Persons and Still
Has Services Held In It
What is probably the smallest
church in America has been discovered
in a corner of Iowa by a newspaper
writer who says:
Our place off interest takes us to
the northeastern part of Iowa. Take
the map and locate Winneshiek county.
Now notice a amall town named
Fesftina in the southern part of the
county, only a few miles from the
south lino ami not far from t^sian.
Near the little town of Festina we
will find a tiny chapel, said to be
the smallest of churches in existence.
It has all the appearances of a big
church?a church yard, church steeple,
entry way. pulpit, pews, an aisle, reg!
ular church windows, and in fact ev!

John Gartner, a soldier under Na;h>leon.
led a troupe of settlers front Indiana
to this southern Winneshiek
county land in the spring of 184D.
F. J. Huber, Jacoib Rausch. Anton
Stattle, Andrew Meyer, George Rec.tel
and Joseph Spielman with their
families made up this band. They
bought their larrd from Indian agents
and began their task of settlement.
Their great worry, however, was the
lack of a church. Finally, a rude log
Church was constructed and a priest
came now and then to ,?ay mass Tor
i these pioneers. In ISM the church
| burned, and the settlers began at
tending other churches In v nearby
towns and neighborhood*. Out in
in 18ti? John Gartner and Frank Ifuber
built ^another churoh, the little
stone church or cbapel near Feetina, j
called ?<*. Anthony's Chapel. Only |
eight persons can be seated in It.
The altar is in miniature. Through
the year* that have followed, the relative*
of John Gartner and Frank
Huber have kept up the chapel. #r.ery
year on Jimq. 13, the Feast of
St. Anthony, mass is said on its alI
tar.
Thougn divorced, Charles B. Woodring
and Florence I^awrence of Holly- \
wood, Calif., remained partners in a
cosmetic manufacturing business.
