ity that their planting is mark of
business sense to property owners.
We of this generation owe this to
our children and our children's chill
dren. Many Of Ottumwa's streets to-
day are lined with giant trees that
stood before these streets were laid
out, part of the primeval forests that
were cleared by the pioneers. Many
of these old trees are dying out. They
should be replaced with younger trees.
We will not be doing our duty unless
we plant tree for every one of these
old monarchs Of the forest cut down.
Ottumwa should enter into the spirit
of this campaign. First thoroughly
clean up the premises and then plant
a tree or trees in the yards or park
ings. If flower beds are set out, so
much the better, for they add wonder
fully to the appearance, not only OF
your property, but Of your locality.
