ganized labor is opposed to. and is n
standing protest against, violence and
crime committed by any one or by any
force or authority. No one could but
have felt and still feel the horror of the
destruction of human life and of prop
erty. but we can none the less feel the
great outrage which has been committed
against the accused men.
The detective agency engaged in pre-
senting these charges against the men

fancy or scruples in manufacturing evil

agency has long been known to have

ARBoR DAY STORIES

BY Steve Lipcovftch, f. Chicago Schools.
Arbor day is the time for planting
trees We have arbor day because all
the trees have ben cut down by wood
men. There isn't many trees left so the
government has set aside a day for
planting trees. The trees which Will
grow best for shade are poplar trees.
Some people plant trees TO make their
homes beautiful and some to make the
towns beautiful. Some people plant
grass on their lawns.
We have bird day TO build homes for
the birds When we plant trees we
help the birds. There are not many
birds now because the trees have been
cut down and the best food is in the
trees. When we plant trees we mus
have the birds. The birds eat insects
which injure the trees. The birds bulls
their nests in the trees and sing
beautifully. Some farmers kill birds
because they eat their fruit. The bird
helps the farmer more than he thinks
they do. They eat all the insects which
harm the plants on his farm. They dc
more good than the fruit is worth thai
they eat.
People of East Chicago are making Il
look beautiful. They are cleaning ur
their yards. On arhor day all the
schools in East Chicago are going t
help clean up vacant lots and the ones
who have the best cleaned lots gets
prize. The people are going to plant
| trees, have lawns. and gardens.

For q thousand years astronomers
have tried to find the center of the uni
verse.
Where Is the center?
You are the center.
Also / am the center of the universe
-of my universe.
Which is to say there is more than
one center of the universe. There are
as many centers as there are sentient
beings
In a subconscious sort OF way we all
recognize this fact UnconscioGsiy
each of us draws about him certain
circles.
There Is the small circle which rep
resents our relation TO our immediate
family or friends, and there is the lar
ger circle which stands for our rela.
ton to our neighborhood and city, and
so on. And finally, with its great
sweep, there is the great circle-wtose
arc only we may know-that reIre
sents our relation to the wide universe
But always
In the center of these concentric cir
cles is you.
You are the hub.
And that is no egotistic view, be
cause. outside God himself, there is nc
bigger thing in the universe than 6
man.
You are the axis on which turn al
things, and all things are made fol
you-air. sunshine, day. night. stars
planets-just the same as If you were
the only man in the world.
Is 1t not so?
Even the God of all things is in {,
very real sense your God.
The great trouble with us is that W.
| often get away from the center wher,
we belong. Then there is trouble ant
friction. lack of harmony. Instead o
| staying at the center we try to get I,
one side. thinking we may find a bet
ter position.
| You know what an eccentric is?
| In mechanics it Is in having a poin
| on which the wheel revolves at on
side of the center. Thar makes th
| wheel run unevenly 1t wnbbles.
Just so do men and women oftel
wabble. They get away from the cen
ter of things. That IS what is the mat
ter with the odd. the irregular. tn
erratic man. He is eccentric. If he i
very eccentric he becomes insane.
Stay in the center
Do not go wabbling off after this fa'
and that ism. So long as you stay 4
your right place there is poise in yo
and harmony about you. and all thing
are yours. and naught can harm you.
Stand fast in the center.

time to become firmly set in the ground
before winters comes. A cool cloudy
day is the ideal day for planting. The
tree should not remain one moment
out of moisture.
The roots should be set firmly in the
soil and the last two inches of SOL
should be fine and loose so that the
moisture may sink to the roots The
caring for the tree after it is planted
is one of the most important things
The tree should be watched and all
dead boughs should be cut off with a
pruning knife. The pruning should
be done while the tree is young be-
cause the wounds will heal more quick
ly. Weeds should not be permitted tc
take the food from the soil around the
tree.
