Says They Will Prove Small Fac

Our Men Are Not Equal
To Task.
DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE UP AGAINST

1t appears from news which leak
ed out of Germany, in spite of the
unusually close censorship, that the
German officials are telling their
men and women that the American
troops will cut little figure in the
big war. If the German people
knew what they were up against
they would refuse to listen to such
foolish assertions.
The funniest pa1t Of it is that
they claim that Americans can't
think quick enough. What a joke!
That's our reputation-quick to
think. The Germans will find that
out soon enough. In the meantime,
we at home should get ready for the
big drive.
OF course we all can't 90 to the
front but we can do our bit in just
as important a manner right here

Children and Trees

Every child should own a tree. A
tree is a symbol of life. 1t lives. 1t
stands for everything that is noble. It
is rooted in the soil and stretches itself
toward heaven. 1t stands for patience,
humility, persistence, beauty, courage
and God. The child should plant the
tree himself and thereafter watch it
grow year by year. He should put his
hands on its rought bark and say
This Is my tree. l will stand by Il,
and live up to It."
It IL curious how blind we some
times are to certain ideals because we
can not see and handle them. We
need something to connect us with the
invisible but none the less potent and
formative world of aspiration and in
spiration. What could be better than
a tree?
There IL something about the silent
beauty of a tree that casts over us a
spell OF calmness and invincibility. The
storms of life may sway us and break
our branches; the grim and melancholy
autumn may strip US of our brilliance,
but the spring will come once more
and clothe us in a new glory. So we
go on fulfilling the majesty of the
law.
If your child owns tree the memory
of its beneficient influence will cling
to him through life.-Country Gentle-
man.
