In his early days, Mark
Twain, tibet author of tom
Sawyer" and "Huckleberry
Fm", was editor Of Il small
town newspaper. One day he
received a letter from a super
stitious subscribed, saying that
he had found a spider in his
newspaper and asking whether
it meant good or bad luck
Mark Twain wrote as follows:

paper was neither good or bad

HOW ABOUT A TREE
PLANTING CLUB?

Why not a tree planting club
for this town! What better
community effort than plant
ing trees! Is there not a bare
spot or an unsightly one that
can be cleaned up and planted
to trees? Maybe We can have
a tree for every youngstcr in
town? Suppose n tree be plant
ed-and namcd-in a commm-
ity park for every boy and girl
in this place! What would be
the result twenty-five years
from now! As the American
Forestry Association points
out, the tree is a lifetime prop
ositiOn.
In big cities thousands of
dollars are being spent to get
more breathing places and
more trees for the city's thous-
andS, but we can turn a town
woOdlot to good account as
we'll as have Il community
park. In European countries
they have town woodlots or
town forests that keep down
the taxes because these wood
lots. working nllietlx-xear- in
and year out, sell the surplus
timber for lnmber, CRATE wood, |
stove wood, and other things. |
We hear a great deal about |
''buying your coal now"
There is not a community in
the country that would not wei |
come the intelligent cutting of |
a town wOodlOt almost any
anywinter. The woOdlot with |
the farmer is almost thing
of the past. The American
Forestry Association is boom
ing this proposition every
where.
Take a look at Pennsylvania.
AT first it may seem incredible |
that more than 20 million
white pine trees have been
planted in eighteen years on
the State Forests Of Pennsyl-
vania; that is, an average of
more than one million per
year. In other states, particu-
larly New York, Massachusetts
and Connecticut, many million
young white pine trees have
been planted on barren waste
land.
Many of the trees compris-
ing the older plantations have
reached ii size of 20 to 80 feet
in height. The growth during
the first few years is rather
slow, but each successive year
ii becomes greater, until TIE
annual growth reaches two or
three feet, and in exceptional
cases it may be as high as four
feet in a single season.
Tree planting time nears
again, and the American For .
estry Association will send YOU
free tree planting suggestions
and a program whereby the
tree planting can be started as
q great community movement,
