These things he plants who plants a

What does he plant who plants a tree L?
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 coming age:
The JOY that unborn eyes Shall sec
ihese things he plants who plants a

What does he plan: who plants tree :
he plants, in sap and leaf and wool,
In love of home ard loyalty,
And far-cast thought of civic good

Holds all the growth of all our land
A nations growth from sea to sen

There was an exciting episode in
Martinsburg on Tuesday. Two young
men made their appearance in the
town and offered to sell a new automo-
bile in which they were travelling. The
dealer to whom they tried to sell it
reported the matter to the police, and
when the men saw the police on their
trail they fled In their car through the
central section of the city at the rate
OF 40 miles an hour, were blocked at
a railroad crossing by train, turned up
side street, and finally ran into a
blind alley. They then deserted the
automobile and took to a corn field,
which was surrounded by an armed
posse who sought to arrest them.
