The fact that the action of the vari-

amendment has made it part of the
Federal Constitution and already in

$4,000 and over, and therefore never
touched us. Fact is we know of none
of the newspaper boys of the State

that he has already collected and

It's trees, its blossoms of every hue;
The while you laugh and you romp

We are taking care of the world

We are doing the best that we ever

From day-dawn, dear, til the sun gets

For someday, boy, you will be

And will reach for it, and will claim
your own;
Then we'll hand it to you and go
away,
Go away from you and the world
alone
But we're caring for it, so run and
play.
The trees we planted on Arbor Day
Were planted, boy, with such care
for you;
The ships we loaded and sent away
Will win their way DER the waters
blue
And take their bales to foreign port,
And come back laden before the
breeze
For you, while you climb the trees in
sport,
Or sit with the kitten across your
knees.
For you are rails DER the desert laid,
The mountains tunneled, the tides
controlled;
For you are paths through the forests
made,
For you men dig in the earth for
gold,
Cor you the furthermost heights are
gained,
For you the deserts are made to
bear,
FOR you morasses are ditched and
Drained
For you, oh, boy, with the wind
blown hair.
