The court, some years back, having broken into

boy who will ride the trucks to New York. in

A Missionary Tree

A missionary, during a Lenten tea,
said, pointedly:
i have established missionary trees
all over the country. But perhaps you
don't know what a missionary tree is =?
A missionary tree is one whose profit
goes entirely to missions
"A Roxbcrough farmer has in his ap-
pie orchard a golden pippin tree that
helps to support the Chinese mission
Florida woman has an orange tree
that helps to uplift the cannibals of
New Guinea. A California nut farmer
devotes walnut tree to the spread

be confined to farms and farmers"

There is nothing more charming than
