prosperity and peace. With these should
come city pride, and we know Of no better
way to accomplish 20 iwporsaD, a quality
,hsn BY tree planting. The Kansas City
Journal makes the following wholesome
remarks:
Trees bring flowers. green leaves, rain,
shads, birds and beauty, and Use combined
in thousand ways. They educate people.
bring comsott and enjoyment to the family,
and are a source Of never-endipg delight to
young and old. They introduce nature into
cities and towne, and promote fertility ard
moisture in the fields. Some people talk
about poll tax a. q requisite for voting,
but IL man was each year required to plant
a tree, or observe arbor day, before being
permitted to vote, it would be far better
than Q poll tax. suppose every family in
Kansas City planted a tree each yesr for ten
years, what a magnificent city We would
have; and they could do 20 With LEES trouble
than it now requires to avoid the no, cum for
one hour in the dog-days. Bat if every
body cannot he induced to practice this gos-
pei one day io the year, let those Who believe
in il do 20, and that much good will be done.
