IN urging this C. P. WILDER, acting

The American Forestry Association
points out the great waste in setting
up community trees every Christmas

suggests that permanent planting ba

The German suddenly reversed his
machine and started to rise. In a

of machine gun bullets into the bot

Captain Hall promptly came out Of
the spiral and made a dive for the
earth. He was last seen trying to
