Gratitude inspires in US the grace
of giving
Gratitude is the great or-it Il

just as sin is the original source q I'd

The immortal Frances e. Willard
said: II regard i1gratitude as 90 IT
the basest Of sins"
The Psalmist said: What shall
render unto the Lord for all his good

Eastwood has several advantages no

the first place, its blossoms furnish a
considerable source of honey which is
always in good demand, and when the
tree is cut it readily regenerates itself
from sprouts, the best of which shoulf

WOOD doll, il particular, is unique and
ingenious. All parts Of it are made
OF wood and are artistically carved
and snameled in color, It is difficult
TO tell that it is made Of wood when it
Is hn1shed. The various parts of the
body are Joined with steel bands which
not only give great fexibility ard free

the wood make the doll practically in

Next to Eastwood, sugar maple.
beech, birch and white pine are the
principal woods used for TOYS. al
