AT THE HEART OF A TREE

AT THE HEART OF A TREE
Oh, L know where it is good to be-
Hid at the heart of blossoming
tree!
For you peep at the world
through veil of pink
While the wind-blown branches
rise and sink,
And life is perfumed ecstacy,
Close at the heart of springtime
tree!
Oh, know where it is good to be-
Hid at the heart of a fruiting tree
For the golden orbs hang sweet
and fair
And the sunlight pierces here and
there
Through the thick-set leafy canopy
Clear to the heart of a summer tree
Oh. l know where it is good to bel
Hid at the heart of crimson tree
For every leaf is a tiny fire
That flames on the persisted sum-
mer's pyre,
And life is a lyric mystery,
Close at the heart of an autumn
tree.

President Wilson On Prosperity

President Wilson made the fol-
lowing statement in speech last
week on the prosperity of the couh-
try.
1T seems to me that l can say
with a good deal of confidence that
we are on the eve of new era Oh
enterprise and of prosperity. Enter
prise has been checked in THIS
country for almost twenty years De-
cause men have been moving in
maze of interrogation points. They
did not know what was going 10
happen to them. All sorts of regu-
lations were proposed, and 1t WAS .
matter of uncertainty what sort OF
regulation was going to be adopted
All sorts of charges were made
against business, as if business were
at fault, when most men knew that
the great majority OF business men
were honest, were. public-splrlted
were intending the right thing, and
the many were afraid the few ala
not do what was right.
THE most necessary thing, there
fore, was for us to agree, as we
Ibid. by slow stages agree, upon the
main particulars of what ought moi
to be done, and then to put our
laws in such shape as to correspond
with that general judgment. l for
one have never doubted that al
America WAS of one principle.
have never doubted that all Amer
lea believed in doing what was fair
and honorable and of good report.
But the method of control by law
against the small minority That
was recalcitrant against these prln-
ciples was thing that | found dif-
ficult to determine upon. And 1t
was a very great burden, let me
say. to fall upon a particular ad-
minstration of this government to
undertake practically the whole bust

The Long, Run Policy

With $4,000 to spend on the
Guide Meridian the county commits
sioners are debating whether to de-
vote the money TO a couple of miles
of permanent asphalt paving, or
TO improving the entire road.
Two or three miles additional
smooth pavement would be welcome
of course. But the farmers who live
beyond Laurel find that it is long
way to the velvet road, and they
would much prefer that the jolts Oh
the many graveled miles from the
Boundary to Bellingham be ironed
out
And that $4,000 would go long
long way towards making a smooth
road of the entire distance. Five
or six thousand a year would serve
to keep teams hauling gravel and
dragging continually, and this con-
slant work on the Guide would
make 1t a thing of utility and JOY
forever.

Weighing A City

It's an excellent thing to stop
frequently, back off, and examine
yourself and your work critically.
Burns once expressed the wish TO
see ourselves 'as ithers see US.
Cities and towns, as well as IN
dividuals. could undergo this self
inspection with profit. Lynden would
find in the mirror cause for congra-
tulation on it's well-paved thorough'
fares, which places it bit in the
lead of the nearby towns; schools,
stores, institutions, citizens, and sur
roundings would be viewed with just
pride, too.
Some things might appear less
attractive in the glass. and knowing
the existence of these specks, the
town could attempt to remove them
gradually.

There was more charity work done

ganization. That is what Humane
Agent Welsh's monthly report shows.
The last two weeks OF December
brought the real test to the organiza-
tion. Caring for all the poor during
the Christmas season was the biggest
task which has ever confronted the
poor peoples agency.
A total Of 1893 pieces OF clothing
were given out through the society
Calls In sickness were greater last
month than ever before.
Welsh stated yesterday afternoon
that during the Christmas period more
food, clothing, toys, &C, were dlstrlb-
uted among Tulsa poor than for any
two months previous.
"Of course, we must give credit
where 1t Is due" said Welsh IN sum
marizing the months work, Many
organizations VOLUNTEERED to, help us
and their assistance was of great ma
terial good.
IF the same cooperation is shown
on the part of Tulsans during the New
Year as during 1914, a greater good
will be accomplished. | wish all a
