PLANT A CHRISTMAS TEE.

and pertinent idea that should

offers the following clipping
\ from Good Housekeeping:
An eastern CITY carried ont an
idea last year that might well be

ganization Of women. After New
Years wagons went from house

mas trees. These were taken to

and clumps Of varying heights.
In some cases they act as wind

though but temporary tenants.
they make attractive, restful
beauty spots for the eye. Com
pare this with the fate OF Christ
! mas trees in your neighborhood.
After a short week OF tinseled
) splendor they are often left in
the alleyways or litter up the
back yard for weeks"
This interesting question is
added:
Certainly the Christmas trees
in the southwest corner Of the
square are a great Improvement

can help wishing that they might
grow there all the year round

NO state OF the American union
has been more richly endowed with

out. in too large degree, the no.
Dler ambitions OF our people. ....s
"Wc need an era Of rest from tur-
moil, time OF rccuperation from
bitter strife. Let us, therefore. lay
aside the spirit OF discord and pug
nacity which has characterized our
civic life and create a larger oppor-
tunity for the development OF our
rich possibilities.
1--WE seem to be at the parting OF
the ways. Shall we not avoid the
way that leads to degradation, dis
honor, and defeat. and choose the
one leading to peace. distinction and
success? This cannot be done un-
less we are willing to pledge an un-
conditional allegiance to the COM

laws and her constituted authority.
No people can live In tranquility, nor
can they enjoy the blessings OF pros

PLAT0RO TOWNSHIP

1t was subsequently abandoned un-

Many Of the lots of the early Corners

When It became apparent that local
economic development required the
establishment OF permanent town

ice recommended elimination of the
site from the forest. such keen ri
valry is said to have sprung up fU
permits that 1t became necessary to
resubdivide the tract by cutting the

Sox won only two Of seven played
and are more than six games behind
the pacemakers. Thus it will be
seen that the first six clubs are not

were week back.
The Athletics seemed to have

their old smashing game. Forced
into idleness the greater part nf the

White Sox when the latter moved 10

games played by decisive scores.
The drop of the White Sox came
with the greater shock to their sup
