THE HEART OF A TREE

IHE HEAkl Ot A RKEE
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants the friend of sun and sky;
He plants the flag of breezes free;
The shaft of beauty, towering high;
He plants a home to heaven anigh
For song a mother-croon of bird
In hushed and happy twilight heard,
! The .rebIe of heavens harmony
These things he plants who plants tree.
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants cool shade and tender rain,
And seed and bud of days to be,
And years that fade and flush again;
He plants the glory of the plain;
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of a coming age;
The 10Y that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants who plants tree.
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants, in sap and leaf and wood,
In love of home and loyalty
And far-cast thought of civic good
His blessing on the neighborhood
Who in the hollow of his hand
Holds all the growth of all our land.
A nations growth from to
Stirs in his heart who plants tree.

THE GIANT SEQUOIA

When Babylon was riosous thy head
Was wise with years; when Bonaparte on
cold
Heena's rock lay still thy heart bold
AS youth against the storm; NO hair has fled
Of all thy Ieafy locks through ages the dead
Since thou vert young have swept in ranks
untold
To immortality; straight as of old
Thou wait'st the generations still INBRED.
Why build we monuments of crumbling stone
Or tawdry brass and bronze to mark
And spare mere memory to unheeding time?
1t were far sweeter, though to be unknown,
To rest beneath green trees. Could marbled
fame
Sleep softer bring though graved with
sacred rhyme?

SHADE
The kindIiest thing God ever made,
His hand of very healing laid
Upon fevered world, is shade.
His glorious coS1pany of trees
Throw out their mantles, and these
The dust-stained wanderer finds ease.
Green temples, closed against the beat
OF noon times binding glare and heat,
Open to any pilgrims feet.
The white road blisters in the sun;
Now half the weary journey done,
Enter and rest, 0 weary one!
And feel the dew of dawn still wet
Beneath thy feet, and forget
The burning highways ache and fret.
This is Gods hospitality,
And whose rests beneath tree
Hath cause to thank him gratefully.

THE RANGERS LIFE

THE RANGERS LIFE
Nights that are spent in the open,
Under the whispering trees;
SIumber that's sweet and dreamless-
LalIabys sung by the breeze.
Walked by the first red sunbeam
Unto no day of strife
Walked to a day of pleasure
Such is the rangers life.
Over paths Hecked with sunshine,
Threading the tree-lined ways;
Fording a snow-born streamlet
There where the big trout plays;
Surprising the elk at the dawning,
The bear at his clumsy play
Feeling the heartbeat of Nature
Such is the rangers day.
Think you the city can call him?
What charm has the marketplace?
Why should he turn from the mountains,
Inviting, from peak to base?
Towns but to dream of at even,
When camp Ere smoke curls high.
So lives the forest ranger
Under the western sky.

THE SERVICE OF THE TREES

''FIomesv' said the forest, shagging the range.
"Lintel and floor roof beam and door,
Homes we build and deserts change
To cities that smoke and
Steel and stone may to their own,
But first we shaped and prepared for these.
We raise the world, who OverthrOwn.
We rise and toil!' said the trees.
."Shipsw said the forest, tossing its plumes.
'The weltering tide master and rides
Oceans and smoke with hurricane dooms,
All ports of the world beside.
Iron and steel may set their seal
On hull and keel with changing boasts
We have won world to unveiI and reveal
All continents and coastsw
''Beautyy' the forest in silver light
Breathed dim and strange through the sunset
change;
Star-crowned, striding along the height
Lord of the lofty range.
s'No stone takes lines of such vast designs
No steel such immortal mysteries!
From the birch by the lake to the mountain
pines,
We dwell with Godv said the trees.

What is the wisdom taught of the trees?
Something of energy, something of ease;
Steadfastness rooted in passionless peace.
Life-giving verdure to upland and glen;
Graces-compelling the praises of men;
Freedom that bends to the eagle and wren.
Largess-expanding in ripeness and size;
Shadow that shelters the foolish and wise;
Patience that bows meath all winds of the skies.
MISUNDERSTANDING for truth like tower;
Dignity-symbol of honor and power;
Beauty that blooms in the ultimate flower!

PLANT A TREE


If when | am gone
Thou would'st honor me,
Then plant tree.
Some highway, bleak and bare,
Make green with leaves.
So radiant and fair
And full of leaves, my monument will be
So ever full of tuneful melody,
My monument will be
A sight most rare
Trees planted everywhere.
A highway broad from city to the sea,
Plant this in memory of me.

THE LEAVES DO NOT MIND AT ALL
The leaves do not mind at all
That they must fall.
When summertime is gone,
1t is pleasant to put
A travelling coat of brown and gray
And fly away,
Past the barn and past the school,
Past the noisy little pool
1t used to hear but could not see.
Oh, it is joy to be
A leaf-and free!
To be swiftly on the wing
Like bird adventuring.
And then, tired out, to creep
Under some friendly rail and go to sleep;
The leaves do not mind at all
That they must fall.

mon PARTISAN LEAGUE PROGRAM

The Non-Partisan League is going to be force
to be reckoned with al the coming elections in sew
eral middle west and northwestern states
In Idaho it has adopted postal card platform
which is the shortest of any political party This
platform advocates the following seven purely social
istic propositions State-owned public utilities to
stop profiteering. A state-owned bank to enable
farmers and toilers to borrow building and farm
loans at cost. State ownership and development of
waterpower. A workable init;tive, referendum and
recall. State guarantees to cover bank deposits
Government ownership of railroads.
This program NAV appeal to some voters who
ike something and do not take the trouble to
look into the plans of the organization The great
est danger from the League lies in the fact that too
many persons minimize its powe AMI for that reason
fail to work vote against it. If this is tho case,
the states in which the League IS working will have
no enc but themselves to bame:f League candidates

The family are making their tour I'M
der auspices Of the Near East Relief,
the big organization which has saved
hundreds of thousands of the people
in that part of the world from death
by hunger and cold and is soon to open
a nation wide campaign for funds to
complete the work of saving the sur
vivOrs, more than half million OF
whom must perish unless aid comes to
them soon. America is their only hope.
General Azgapetian served calamity
in the Russian armies in the Caucasus
against the Turks. His WIFE who ae-
cOmpanied him to the front, did noble
work for the wounded and sick, and
it was while in this service that her
baby was born in hospital tent during
battle. An army blanket swung from
two poles in one corner of the tent was
the baby's crib during the rest of that
terrible winter campaign. With the
collapse of the Russian armies after
the Bolshevist revolution the Azgape-
tians returned to Armenia for a brief
spell and did their best to alleviate
the suffering they found on every hand
But with Turkish price on his head
the father finally made his way with
his family through Russia TO Finland
and then to this country. What they
tell Of conditions and needs in Armenia
is first hand evidence.
In the Caucasus, Armenia, Syria,
Turkey and Persia are more than 250,-
600 orphans, helpless little victims Of
war, massacre and deportation, and
for the great majority the only bar be-
tween them and absolute starvation
is bowl of hot bean soup every day.
This soup is supplied by the Near East
Relief now making an appeal to
the American people for sufficient
funds to increase this dole and to pro-
vide these suffering little ones with

die of starvation unless American aid
Is continued.
