Good Roads and Trees.

The interest in good roads is grow
ing all over the country, and the new
policy of the American Forestry Asso-

citation is advocating the setting out
of trees along the public roads as me-
MORALS to the soldiers. The trees will
be of great benefit to the roads, and
that method of honoring the soldiers
seems peculiarly appropriate. Just
think of beautiful growing tree by
the side of a well-kept highway and
