SOMETHING EXTRA
GOOD FOR ARB0R
DAY IN maine

The following very pretty thing has
been received at the Office Of the Maine
Forestry Commission from the New
Jersey Department of Conservation and
Development, with the information that
it came from Washington state, where
the author, E. T. Allen, is forester for
the Western Forestry and Conservation
Association. The New Jersey forestry
officials thought it worthy of public dis
tribution, the Maine officials agreed and
the Journal herewith gives it to the
public:
THE FOREST PLEADERS
(Arbor Day Recitation for Six Pupils)
BY E. T. Allen.
! Am the Forest.
First pupil: carrying evergreen branch)
1 clothe this western land
With beauty, and on every hand
You turn to me in daily need.
Your best friend 1 have always stood;
You could not live not using wood
For your protection now 1 plead.
Nor do l bid you take my word;
Let these my witnesses be heard.
Am the Stream.
Second Pupil: carrying pail Of water)
From my woodland springs
IL IlNcl IiOuli WHSAC lAC "AiSS Gun
wings
Over the ships from the ends of the
earth,
I flow ev;a to your homes and mills and
And carry the freight that the harvest
yields,
But shady forests gave me birth.
Am the Wild Things.
Third pupil: carrying pet animaD
speak for graceful deer
And flashing trout in brooks, pools
For singing birds and squirrels pert,
And all the. wearers Of feather and fur.
What should we do if no forests were
To shelter us from fear and hurt?
Am Industry.
Fourth pupil: carrying axe)
To me the forest brings
Reward for labor and all things
That money buys. for in this state
Over half our wage-earners' pay
Comes from numbering in some way.
The fate of forests is my fate.
Am Pleasure.
Fifth pupil; carrying fishing rod)
Happy vacation days,
Camping, hunting, and all the ways
OF nature in her gladdest moods,
The forest holds for girls and boys
Who love outdoors and wholesome
Joys.
There is no playground like the woods.
Am the Future.
Sixth pupil: (strikes match and holds it
burning)
Shall all these pass away?
Must we look forward to a day
OF ffre-charred. lifeless, streamless slopes
Where thoughtless match or unmatched
brand
From mans ungrateful. careless hand
Has destroyed his own children's hopes?
Fire Is Our Enemy.
All: CULTURE blows match out, watches
as he drops 1t, then tramps it out.)
Won't you help us then?
Learn yourselves and teach all men,
This, the lesson, all must learn;
Put out the campfire and the match;
Careful with slash and clearing patch
Leave no fire in the woods to burn.
April, 1916.

Tho Serpent's Wall Ger Doefish
TaIe

with apologies to Luther Maddocks.)
The Sea Serpent sat in a sheltered cove
At the back of Matinicus Isle,
And he sighed a sigh as his saddened
eye
Swept over the seas the while.
He sighed a sigh and he wiped his eye
And to me he made this moan,
1T won't be long, Oh, it won't be long
Till I'm left here all alone. alone,
Till I'm left here all alone.
Time was when / could venture out
With the rise of the morning sun,
And make for land and the shining sand
Where the bathers dip and run,
I'd laugh in glee to see them flee,
And hear them yell and screech;
But now they're gone. alas. they're gone
And there's no one on the beach, the
beach,
There's no one on the beach,"
"And where" we asked, have the bath
ers gomez"
The serpent's brow grew dark,
He dashed his tail and his angry wall
Made even the breakers bark.
my fun is gone and I'm lone and lorn
And I'll neer more eat nor sup,
For the beach is drear and of bathers
clear
Since the dog fish ate them up, them up,
Since the dog-fish ate them up.''

Aroostook Railroad Co.. was caught be-
tween the engine and tender Of snow
breaking train about one half mile
south of St. John station, at 4.30 P. M,
March 26, 1916, and died from his in
juries at Eagle Lake directly after his
arrival there at $40 p. M. of the same
day, and before he could be got into
the hospital for treatment.
"A careful investigation by a repre-
sentative of the commission indicates
that the company took reasonable pre-
cautions to avoid accident. that the
train was being carefully handled and
that the train crew did everything
possible to release and care for Mr..
Cochrane after the accident. We do
not find that it was due to any negli-
gence Of the railroad company or Of
it's employees"

lowing to the fact that no approprl-
alton has been available to carry on the
work of this bureau, l have been obllS-
ed to neglect a large part of the work
| which should have been done. Com
plants came to us in early fall by pro-
ducers of corn for canning purposes
that the weighing devices used in these
canning industries in very many cases
had not been inspected and sealed.
There are 115 of these shops and we
were able to visit but II of them.
"The appearance of state sealer or
inspector Of weights and measures was
to them a great surprise. or the IL
shops visited, five of them had taken
the precaution to have their scales
tested. Many of the large platform
scales at those shops were set in such
manner that even mild gust OF
wind would affect the sensibility OF the
scale. The work of inspecting the corn
canning shops should be carried on an
other season.
1.-THE newspapers of the state have
contributed materially to what we have
achieved and feel indebted to them for
their valuable space. To them can be
traced the enlightened attitude Of the
public today.
1.-The work of this bureau intimately
+ concerns the public in many ways and
the newspapers have been quick to
grasp this fact. The past courtesies
are appreciated and the wish is here
expressed that they will deal generous
ly with us in the future.
