 Mrs. Warren G. Harding Is one of the most enthusiastic advocates of tree planting in the country. On Armistice Day she planted two trees on one of the approaches O the beautiful Lincoln Memorial in Wash ington. The American Legion, Wom- ems Clubs, War Mothers. Rotary Clubs, Kiwanis Clubs, churches and graduating classes in schools and colleges are planting memorial trees. long ago as 1895 the Legislature of In Nebraska they did well following the lead of Sterling Morton, for as the once treeless State proudly pro claimed that Nebraska shall hence forth he known as '"The Tree Plant CTS State" for 100000 acres had been planted.

Oil Towns Were
 Like Mushrooms

Oklahoma City, Okla. April - Like mushrooms that spring up over night. OElahOma's oil towns have pushed their way into existence from the barren prairie or the rock-strewn hillside.
 In the wake of the "wildcatter'' the lease sale and the inevitable derrick, these towns have reached their growth in a twinkling and fIourished on the golden pot of oil found at the end of the rainbow With their unpainted buildings of flimsy structure, these ephemeral villages blazon the trail of the oil scout who has crossed hill and dale in search of the underground treasures of petroleum.
 The latest addition to Oklaho oma's oil towns is Shidler. A few months ago its site was known only as the southwest quarter of Section 2s.- in Osage county. But that was before Osage lease sale held in Pawhuska last December, when oil companies and prom moters paid SS.0oO.0O0 for leases on Indian lands. Then drilling began, and what had been barren plain, on the morrow was the site of a busthng town.
 Shidler has a school house. like towns of more sober growth It was built from funds donated by lumber companies when a school census re- vealed that 42 children in the village craved a chance at the Three R's-'' Then. too, Shidler is a railroad ter

Gale, a young engineer, married an Osage Indian girl, the owner of many acres of open land, the site of the future village. Now the Gales live in town, along with hundreds of other folks.
 Whiz-bang-a word familiar to the doughboy who fought mud and Ger mans in trenches in FTance-was the oil town sensation before Shidler pop ped into the world. It, too, is located in the Osage Indian country and star tied the natives with its sudden growth and open vilation of gambling and prohibitory statues.

Pulling

C. Hazard


II T is the custom of a certain rail-
way engineer to have his boy
Il with him now and then in the en-
CINE cab. The youngster states that
he has "ringed the bell and blown the
whistle" but that he has not yet
pulled the throttle"
This seesss to be the matter with a
good many older ones of the present
generation, and 1t may explain their
lack OF progress. They have rung the
bell and they have blown the whistle,
but they have neglected to open the
throttle.
That invisible force that is In us all
responds wonderfully when we call
upon 1t, but is only q useless and d.
minishing energy until we do. Bell
and whistle may advertise that we
us along. They may both be active
while we are really slowing up, like
the train that approaches a stop.
The station may be a permanence
for us when we could 60 q good deal
farther, we may arrive at a dead line
in life while yet young, because we
have shut the throttle instead of open
ing Il, turned or steam instead OF
turning It On.
There was more chance for
progress than this New Year is offer
ing. Never before did opportunity
beckon more earnestly. Never was
talent so much in demand, never was
capacity so much needed. Never was
ability SO largely rewarded. Great
positions wait for those who can fill
them. Ambition may plan. Aspira-
ton may hope.

A SCOUT IS KIND

A little boy who was flying C kite
In a big wind lost control of 1t in a
cross current. The kite came down In
a broad sweep, landing in the top of
a high tree. The youngster was too
small to climb the tree SO he broke the
string as neal to the kite as possible
and went home sadly with only the
ball of string in his possession, his
heart broken because of the los. of
his treasure. On the way home he met
a boy scout who with characteristic
observation noticed the little boys de
jected look, and asked him what was
the matter. When told OF the tragedy
the scout asked to be shown the tree.
which he promptly climbed, released
the kite and restored 1t into the hands
of Its delighted n He might have
behaved In precisely the same Fashion
II he had not been a scout but, being
a scout. he just naturally couldn't have
done otherwise.

HONOR RoosEvELT's MEMORY

On the anniversary of the birth of
Theodore Roosevelt, October ~, scouts
In every part of the country united In
paying tribute to the memory of their
chief scout citizen and his scoutlilse
qualities of virility, integrity, square
dealing, public service and practical
citizenship.
THE two thoughts animating the
demonstrations" say James Il. West,
chief executive, were first, to
do honor and to keep alive the mem
DRY Of a great American and good scout,
who kept the scout oath and law him
self; and, secondly, to inspire scouts
and the public generally with a desire
to be better citizens, remembering
such as these have lived and died."
Ceremonies took the form of special
troop exercises, public gatherings.
speeches, rallies, tree paintings and
dedicatlons in school yards, community
centers, and on highways.
One of the most impressive cere-
monies was the third annual pilgrhl-
age to Roosevelt's grave 1t Oyster
Bay, N. Y, attended by a Thousand
scouts of Greater New York and Vi
entity under leadership of National
Scout Commissioner Daniel Carter
Beard.
The plan to erect at Oyster Bay an
exact reproduction of the cabin occu-
pied by the colonel when he lived a
ranchman's life in the Bad Lands of
North Dakota, has received favorable
consideration from local and national
officials. Logs for the cabin, accord
ing to the plan, will be contributed by
troops from every state in the Union
representing the $4,000 members in
every city, and nearly every town and
hamlet in the Union, all dedicated to
the same outdoor life, study, manli-
ness of character and virile citizenship
associated with the ideal scout and
citizen, Theodore Roosevelt.
