THE TREE
By Joyce kiImer
! think that | shall never see
A poem lovely as a Tree
A Tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing
breast;
y tree that looks to God all day
&nd lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A Tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me.
But only God can make a tree.

spoken agency in keeping fresh the
memory of the dead than any other
memorial that could be erected by
human hands"
William Howard Taft, Vice-Presi-
dent of the American Forestry Asso-

planting of such memorial trees The
Association is urging that the proper
setting Of Memorial Trees be included
IN any memorial plan that a munich

Forests Saved France
Authorities agree that the forests
of France kept the Hun from keeping
the dinner engagement in Paris" says
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of
the American Forestry Association
"and the United States should feel the
deepest sympathy for France over the
loss Of her magnificent forests. Be
hind the lines It was the French
forests which were called upon to pro-
vide large part of the timber needed
for war purposes.
About one and a quarter million
acres of forest land lay within the ter
rltory occupied by the German ad-
vance on Paris and it will require
many years to get these forests into
anything like pre-war conditions. This
is one Of the great sacrifices France
has been compelled to make as mil
lions of her population wero depend
ent in one way or another on wood
working industries"

and attachment for gas piping are
removed and socket and electric light

such candlesticks, with small lighted
