We plant the ship which will
cross the sea,
We plant the masts to carry the
sails,
We plant the plank to Withstand
the gales,
The keel, keelson and beam and
knee,
We plant the ship when we

We plant the houses for you

We plant the studding, the
laths. the door,
The beams and sidings. all parts

We plant the house when we

We plant the shade. from the

.syarQ them as OF little use, IL not
actual enemies. A little study will
reveal some of the things that trees
do. Animals grow and become larger.
This is due to the food they eat.
Trees also grow, but they use differ
ent food, and take it in quite a diff
ferent way. They live upon mineral
matter-that is. air. water and soil,
which they change into their own
substance. By gradual addition of new
material. trees become larger and
larger each year. for growth is simply
the increase of living thing in size
and substance.
Trees help to keep the air pure for
man and the lower animals. How do
they do this? The element of the air
that makes 1t fit for breathing is gas
called oxygen. About one-fifth OF the
volume of the air is oxygen, and at
every breath animals take in some of
this oxygen and change it into carbonic
acid gas. In other words, the oxygen
is breathed in. combines with the car
bon in the blood and this makes car
bonic gas, which is breathed out into
the air in place of the oxygen taken in.
There is a small amount Of carbonic
acid gas in the air everywhere, and at
all times; the usual amount is about
one part in every $500 parts of air.
This carbonic acid is unfit for the
breathing of animals, and wherever it
increases in the air, even to a slight
extent above the usual amount found,
animals cannot live. Trees and other
plants prevent the carbonic acid from
accommodating in dangerous quantities
in ordinary air. They do this by abb
sorbing this gas through their leaves.
1t is their principal food. 1t makes
trees grow, for little more than one
half of the trunks and branches of
every tree is carbon, and this all comes
from the carbonic acid from the air.
Trees supply a large part of all the
fuel in the world. The real wood of
trees is of little or no use as food.
but 1t does largely serve to cook food
and serve as a protection against cold.
Even the coal dug from the earth, as
well as the coal and gas now SO gen
orally used for fuel, come from the
vegetable matter and are largely the
remains Of trees in forests that flour
ished before man existed on earth.
,Jtees give us wood, and wood fur
n1ELSsS hdtciihi,
implements, utensils. tools and other
useful things in great variety. Wood
is one of the necessities Of life. We
are rocked in cradles made of wood;
when we sit down, it is in chairs or
benches of wood; every day we eat
from wooden tables; the papers and
books that we read and study are
printed on paper made from wood;
whenever we ride out it is in a wagon.
carriage or car made largely Of wood.
More than one-half of the houses in
the world are built of wood and the
other half use wood for doors, floors
and other interior parts: nearly all
barns are made of wood. We ship our
fruits. vegetables and many other
products in baskets, barrels and crates
made of wood; we pack our butter
and pork, and buy our nails and salt in
hrkins, kegs or barrels made of wood.
Wood is Indispensable to our comfort.

1t is on lang-cherished Democratic
principles. should take rank of the
plank in the Baltimore platform which
declares for tolls exemption. There
have been few such evidences of in
dignation in the White House recently
as the resentment shown by the presi-
dent when he intimated that the de-
sires Of certain men. Republican, Pro-
gressives and some Democrats. to as
sail the administration had outweighed
their Judgment In matters which Mr..
Wilson thinks are connected with the
national honor and the peoples duty.
First Breach Of Harmony.
In the heat of things in congress
over this matter. partisans in Wash
ington have seen disruption of the
Democratic party. discrediting OF
the president and a revolt of the voters
against the policy of repeal. 1t seems
likely that the partieans will cool on
after little and look at things in
different light. AS matter of fact
from a non-partisnn viewpoint this re-
peal matter is the first real scrap the
Democrats have had since they came
into power and made their original
promise to preserve harmony at all
hazards. Republicans and Progress
ives here admit that the Democrats
have got along pretty well thus far.
Calmer politicians here say that q
party ought to be able to Withstand
the effects of one such a disagreement
as that which recently has arisen.
even though its Accomplishments have
verged on the riotoua. 1t was original
ly charged that MIR Wilson was In
favor of the adoption of the rule in the
house of representatives which would
limit debate on the repeal question to
20 hours, the so-called gag rule against
which there was SO great demonstra-
ton of disapproval. There has been
denial that Mr.. Wilson urged the gag
rule and there has been admission
only that he wanted rule adopted
which would prevent the discussion
running to such lengths that vote
might be delayed for weeks.
The Democratic party is having it's
differences on this repeal measure. but
the leaders of the party know that
they must stick together on trust
measures which are forthcoming for
consideration in order that the Democ-
racy can go before the country in the
congressional elections with fairly
clean record for harmony. coupled with
a record for accomplishment. Dispas-
sionate political observers in Wash
| ington do not seem honestly to believe
that the present row in Democracy's
ranks necessarily is going to create
the disunion which leads to disaster.

Single Term Enough7

Single Term Enough7
Two Republicans were discussing
the attitude of President Wilson to-
ward the question of the repeal OF the
tolls exemption clause of the Panama
canal act. One of them said: Some
of the newspapers should print car
toon showing Mr.. Wilson standing on
the Democratic platform with the bank
declaring for tolls exemption smashed
into smithereens, while with crow
bar he is attempting to rip up the 9TH
er plank which declares for single
term for the presidency"
The other Republican said In an
swer: DO not make any mistake. The
cartoon should show Woodrow Wilson
with a hammer in his hand mailing
down more firmly in its place the sim
gle term plank"
Here are represented two different
of Mr.. Wilson's attitude to-
ward the presidential succession.
Some men in Washington are beginning
to believe more strongly than ever that
Mr.. Wilson does not intend to seek
nomination at the hands of
his party, and that he has been held
to this decision not only by the word
ing of the Democratic convention
plank which pledged the candidates in
advance to the principle" Of the sim
gle term proposition. but by his own
personal inclination to retire to pri-
vate life after the completion OF one
term.
Casting Aside Ambition.
Some friends of the president say
that II he were looking to the future
with an ambitious eye and were In
clined to consider only the politics of
the case, he either would have taken
an entirely different position on the
question of repeal of the tolls act. or
he would have suggested 1t merely as
to be desired and then
would have left the matter wholly in
the hands of his party in congress. AS
1t was. Mr.. Wilson gave his repeal
the force of command
and backed 1t up with the statement
that considerations of honor and just
ice made the resembling of the tolls
exemption law necessary.
A good many of the Democrats here
seem to think that both Mr.. Clark
and Mr.. Underwood. and presumably
other possible candidates for the Dem
ocratic presidential nomination. have
come to believe on their own account
that Mr.. Wilson is to be out OF it
Now 1t must be taken for granted, OF
course, that Speaker Clark and Leader
opposed the president on
the repeal matter because of a sim
cere belief that the tolls exemption
aw was constitutional and wise. but
some of the politicians here hold that
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Underwood have
themselves by their op-
position with party men In many sec
lions of the country, and that in
free-for-all presidential nomination
light they will get more votes because
Of their stand on repeal than they will
lose because of the same thing. In
other words. some Democrats feel that
30 far as deIegate-securing strength is

have benefited themselves
