Dixie"

The song Dixie" was written In
1859 by D. D. Emmett, and was first
publicly sung by Bryant's miDtrels, in
New York, al Mechanics hall. The in
spring air and the words, which were
in the darky dialect, appealed to the
South, where the song became popular.
It became the battle song of the con-
federacy. There were two other
'Dixies, the one Il northern ballad and
the other a southern ballad of the Civil;
war, by Albert Pike. which first ap-
peared in the Natchez (AIiss.) Courier
The origin of the phrase ''Dixieland"
Is thought to be in the name of u Mr.
Dixie, a slaye-hOlding New York citi-
zen, who moved to the South. His
large number of slaves, the story runs,
bemoaned leaving their old home,
which they called Oixie'S Land. The
phrase spread and was appropriated
for the Southern states, which were
substituted for the original Dixieland
The phonetic connection between the
word and Mason and Dixon's line also
has been pointed out. The boundary
line to the negroes was Mason an,:
Dixie's" land.

MAKE COMMUNITY TREE
PERMANENT is URGED
Forestry Association Points to
Great Waste in Setting Up
Evergreen Every Christmas.

Why not the permanent community
Christmas tree? is the question being
asked many times of the American
Forestry Association, which is urging
memorial trees for sailors and SOL
diers in the world war.
In urging this, c. P. WILDER, acting
state forester of New Jersey. says:
ITO do this will stimulate the get
together spirit locally by insuring
an annual gathering in the holiday
season because the tree will COM
mand recognition as a temporary pro-
vision from year to year may not.
Originally set with definite memorial
purpose, it will further emphasize in
public way the recognition by it's
planters and those who come after
them of the gratitude for loyal, pa
triotic service rendered in the crucial
period of the nation and the world"
The American Forestry Association
points out the great waste in setting
up community trees every Christmas
and then throwing them away, and
suggests that permanent planting
be adopted in suitable locations
wherever possible. The memorial tree
idea is being adopted all over the
country. reports to the association
show. and being considered as the
proper setting for other forms of
memorial plans.
