Newark Is After Horses Which Mistake Trees For Food.
"Watch your horses. Don't let them lunch on your trees."
This is a sample of the mottoes on a series of blotters bearing pertinent illustrations that the Newark (N. J.) shade tree commission has been sending out lately.
The children of the playgrounds, having been informed of the trouble, were encouraged to form an organization, the members of which were to wear badges and be known as the shade tree commissioners. Both boys and girls are members, and they arrange a patrol of the little parks to warn children against doing damage and also to see that horses don't mistake tree trunks for something good to eat. The mere fact that the park is being watched has been sufficient to stop almost of itself the depredations which had long been in progress.
