If towns and cities have been entered on the ma
honal honor roll being compiled by the American
forestry association at Washington. The assocla-
ton hopes to see every young American cltizeh De-
come a Johnny Appleseed, Jr.'
You remember the story of Johnny Appieseea'
as they called him, who, many years ago. wen. up
and down the land planting apple-tree SEEDS! 1hat
was not his real name, but that is what he came TO
be called. Of course a lot of people laughed at
him, for there were so many trees then. Mahy
thought him crazed. But now his idea is taken to
be a good one. For many things have happeheu
since the day Of Johnny Appleseed. The world
war has set our people thinking about many
things. One of these things has been the way
lumber is being consumed. Then, too, there Is the
high cost of living that ~agitates everyone. In many
places the planting of nut and fruit trees is aoVo-
Gated, and a campaign is on to nave every Victory
gardener plant a nut or fruit tree Id MS garoeh Ut
back yard. Another fine opportunity for planning
Ia memorial trees along the motor highways ana
good roads that are in the process of building.
To these calls Of the American Forestry assocla-
tion the. people of the country are responding In
hearty fashion. So to the school children OF the
country comes a great chance to enter actively INTO
the study of outdoor life through the planting OF
trees. The American Forestry association VIII

: ~nresident Of the American Forestry association,
. sends this message to the school children OF the
United States:
M finer memorial can be erected by any school
or class than by the planting OF a tree. Every
pupil will have a close and intimate interest II
h that tree and therefore the school after he leaves
: I need not attempt to picture what that tree o.
= avenue Of trees will mean to the class of 1920 whel
q comes back to the old school for the class re
union in 1910. A space on the campus or a wall
near the town can be lined with trees, one TO
each member Of the class. The American Forestr
= association is registering all memorial trees In
national honor roll and urges that all tree plantin
be reported that it may keep its rolls complete"
