Song" will be read with interest in this con-
nection:
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants the friend of the sun and sky;
He plants the flag of the breezes free;
The shaft of beauty towering high;
He plants a home to heaven anigh
For song and mother-croon of bird
In hushed and happy twilight heard
The treble of heavens harmony,
These things he plants who plants tree.
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants, in sap and leaf and WOOD,
In love of home and loyalty
And far-cast thought of civic good
His blessing on the neiRhborhood
Who in the hollow Of His hand
Holds all the growth Of oil our land
A nations growth from sea to sea
Stirs in his heart who plants tree.
