PLANT AND PRESERVE TREES
One Of the Most important Duties Laid
Upon tho Individual and tho
Community.

Trees are natures prime sources OF
food; their fruits and nuts gave sus-
tenance to the first tribes Of men and
are the sweetest and most nourishing
Of the earth's products.
Trees herald the spring with giori'
GUS banners of leaf and bloom; they
clothe the autumn In garments Of gold
and royal purple; barred to the win
ter's cold, they are the harp Of the
winds, and they whisper the music OF
the infinite spaces.
Before the earth could be peopled
it was set thick with trees, and when
man has run his course and the race
We know has disappeared In the com
pleteness Of it's mission or perishes In
the destruction Of it's trees, the earth
will spring up again with new for
ests to shelter and sustain new race
Of men and beasts and birds to work
out greater destiny. Perhaps II we
are wise enough to replenish our vast
ing forests and to make ourselves wor-
thy Of the gift Of trees we may be per-
mitted to accomplish that greater
destiny which the Mighty Forester, the
Perfect Orchardist, the Loving Father
requires in the fulfillment Of his sub

DAY TO KEEP IN MEMORY
Particular Reason Why Civil War
Veteran Recalls Incident Of His
Military Career


An interesting story wax told by the
veteran MAJ George Haven Putnam
during his visit in the city last week,
says the New York Times.
Major Putnam served in the Civil
war, rose to be adjutant Of the 10th
Regt. New York volunteers, was cap
tured at Cedar Mountain and con-
fined in Libby PRISON.
II was very small factor in the
army of the North, anyway" said
Major Putnam, "and my absence from
the ranks created no panic and was
of very little moment to anyone ex-
cept myself"
The major went on to say that one
afternoon while he was cantering
along a dusty Virginia highway he
passed body Of Union troops at the
wayside and their major saluted him.
He was but twenty-one and these
attentions naturally pleased him. A
little farther along he encountered an
other group Of troops and this time
an officer Of considerably higher rank
did the saluting.
Later on the young adjutant dis
covered that the major was William
Mckinley and the officer of higher
rank was Brig. Gen. Rutherford b.
Hayes. -,
It was good deal later, however,
before he found out that he had been
saluted twice In the same afternoon
by men who were to become prest-
dents of the nation.

story.
At the witching hour of nine clock
the next morning Miss Tincher having
anointed herself with much "pain Kill

ond episode of the picture. 1t was a
burglar scene. Harry Edwards, the
burglar, was inside a trunk. Sally sat
upon the trunk, endeavoring to keep the
burglar from burgling. Harry's mus
cular shoulders bounced the lid of the
trunk up and down several times while
Fay hung on for dear life. Director Al

Harry" Fay did not know that when
Al Christie says edo your duty he
means the execution of the scene with
the greatest possible vim and vigor.
Harry did his duty right Justify with
the result that the unfortunate star

beyond the protecting softness of a
mattress which was intended to break
her fall, but which failed to do its duty
at the crucial moment.

Washington is said to have stopped once

it caused.
A wrecking crew was tearing down

To the Editor of The Billboard.
Dear Sir-Mr. Wolf has really done
the public great service in writing you
that letter about music publishers and
their staff of writers, and so has The
Billboard done a great service to the
people in publishing his letter, and let
me say that if some of these publishers
would send one of their agents down
and in the back alleys of the City of
Baltimore or Washington or any of these
Southern cities and hear the songs that
are sung and written by the negro pop
ulation of these places for their own
use it would make these publishers and
their staff look small indeed. This
world is full of poets and song writer's
and good ones, but none of them are TO
be found on Broadway, because good
songs are not what is desired.
1 would like to run about one or two
hundred of my songs in a song writers
contest against as many that are written
by these so-called staff of writers from
the publishers around 47th and Broad
way just to see how many of their songs
would go thru, and II beat every one
of them. This is no bluff, but real
straight forward business proposition.
All / would like to see is the best man
win, so if any of these gentlemen are
looking for a chance to earn both fame
and fortune this would be an excellent
chance to show the world what they can
do. Very truly years,

A Move in the Right
Direction

The Lafayette players, who are all
eolored, are one fine aggregation. They
are composed of intellectual people who
are all heart and hand with movements
for the uplift and betterment of the
race. As actors their respective abili-
ties cannot be questioned The players ,
contracts are made with colored men
who are at the head of the Quality
Amusement Corporation.
1t is pity that with the capital pos
sessed by the race, that we cannot build
or lease playhouse where these actors
can be placed, instead of having the
money go into the pockets of such men
as Forrest and Weinberg, who will not
even spend nickel of the surplus money
to install ventilation system or deco
rate the stuffy place which they call an
up-to-date theater. These men may have
been managers once upon a time, but, as
the orators would say, ga new era has
dawned," and with improvements pro-
crossing on all sides, they are back num-
bers. They could at least install few
comfortable seats and have the place
cleaned up so that it would have pleas
ing interior appearance.

Death claimed three well-known actors
during the last few weeks in California.
The first was George Gebhardt, who
played in the original New York Motion
Picture Company IS initial Western thrill
lers and who became one of the best
known screen character men. Daniel
Gilfether, the "grand old man" of the
former Balboa company, was called soon
after at his home in Long Beach, after a
stage and picture career covering nearly
a half century. The last of the trio,

the wars, having seen active service in
France with the Wild West division.
A year or so before the war, Joe became
the husband of Grace Cunard, the serial
star, and the news gatherers and dis
seminators of near-news in Filmania do
say that there was no joyous family re-
union when joey came marching home.
About the same time Owen Moore went
back to New York, making the import

to purchase a new summer hat, which

Richmond Negro paper, The Planet

Determined that the good sense and

prevail, Richmond people have agreed
upon very definite policy. The pre-
else details of this we shall not, OF

be set down here and now that every

do strict justice, but is TO suppress with
the utmost severity every disturbance.
If white rowdies pick a quarrel with
Negroes, they are 20 be punished in
stantly. If Negroes should start trou-
BILE, precisely the same punishment will
be melted out to them. The News-Leader
expects Colonel Myers to instruct his
men TO shoot without hesitation into
the ranks of any mob that may start.
We expects him to use all the reserve
forces at his command and to continue
as long as may be necessary the prudent
arrangements made in recent days. We
expect, further, to keep the machine
guns present, so that if trouble starts
in any street, the machine guns may be
brought up instantly in the waiting
motor trucks and after warning has
been given can be used to sweep the
street from end to end. We indorse all
the director has done in preparing 20
use fire apparatus, but we are frank
to say we do not expect him to stop
with water, if any mob opens fire. For
tunately we need not call upon him TO
avoid the mistake made in Washington
of placing single officer or a single
sentry on street corner. We have
enough forces at hand to throw Gordon
around any district where disorder may
start and then to scour every street
and every alley.

pie insist that precisely the same treat
ment be measured out to all that NAV
