FRIDAY APRIL ri, 1929

Governor IIastnesa has appointed
May 6 as Arbor day. In Vermont
Arbor day IS not so important as in
ctatos where the forest area does not
increase naturally as it does here,
but this natural increase f.aould not
blind cur eyes to the fact that much
Of the natural growth is Of little or
no value Land cut over in the old
and common fashion does not at once
start new growth of actual timber
and it would often save from 10 to 80
years If it were promptly set out TO
trees that would be worth wolfe
when grown. Then, too, along our
ro2dsides and fences there is a splen-
did chance to grow apple, cherry and
nut trees, or sugar naples, rather
than brush or wild trees of little or
no yaue An apple tree or a butter
nat will grow beside the road or in
ia fence corner Just about az easily as
"a ciump Of chnke cherry bushes. In
Tn 8 part o. Vermont trees can be set
cut anytime from the first of April
to the middle ofMay. Arbor day is
not meant to limit planting to a
single day but to call attention to
the central idea.

Greene and the Senate

The people of Vermont have thei.
own ideas relative TO their representa-.
yves IN Congress, but IL is natural for
taam to desire to sec their opinions in
such cases confirmed by entirely dis.
Interested parties en- the outside.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Springfield Republican has something
TO say concerning Congressman Frank
l., Greene and the United States sen.
atofehlp when Senator Page retiros.
that viii be of general interest The
( correspondent says Congressman
FRANK l. Greeno may be the next sen.
ator from Vermont. The veteran
Senator Page has announced his de.
clslon to retire. Mr.. Greene Is n
prominent member of the military
alairs committee and ono Of the able
members of the House. He began
MS career at the age Of Is as errand
boy in the audit department of the
Central vermont railroad In 1892
hN entered tho newspaper business
ana IN 1899 became editor of the ST
Adams Messenger Mr.. Greene comes
of sturdy Yankee stock and renresents
that element today He dislikes the
present fashion Of fostering new and
onlaremg powers on the government
et WASHINGTON; that was reason for
his opposition to the maternity bill.
He Is an ardent enemy of Bolshevism
and such progressive manifestations.
Gre ne is an expert ON army affairs
and fears for the present endeavor to
white away the army He Is a force.

the Spanish war, and has son who

But his resistance to various mod.
ern tendencies does not measure a
narrow man, His intellectual process.
SEES are broad.based and firm. BY the
way few Congressman know English
history or their Shakespeare better
than Greene. Just as one of our

liant, keen, stout Green Mountain
pioneers would be unusual amidst
the shallowness and pretention of
any congressional office, so Greene
IS distinctive. In conclusion, because
he is Yankee and also because he IS
a newspapCrman, he possesses a sense
of humor and can tell good story
That is the Washington Wow of Con
gresham Greene, although II falls
short of telling the whole story, be.
ing merely a side reference in the
course of two columns of general cor.
respondence The complete story
would show how Greene Is summoned
among others to the White House as a
recognized authority on military az
fairs and how as member of The Re.

House, large degree of responsibility
rests upon the member from Yer.

FROM JOLLY .CORKS TO ELKS

The dawn of February 16, 1922, will
mark an anniversary of keen interest
to nearly 100000 American men.
Fifty-four years ago-on February
Is, 1868 little group of fourteen
men sat in stuffy room in New York
they had been debating for weeks.
On the second ballot, the now almost
forgotten fraternal order of the
"Jolly Corks" was disbanded. And
the Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks was born.
The first membership report in the
archives of the Elks is dated Deem
Der II, 1868. New York Lodge No.
1, the mother lodge of the order, was
then it's only lodge. There were rs
members on the rolls.
The fifty-fourth anniversary of the
orders birth shows a membership of
more than $4,000 Elks in more than
1400 lodges that dot the United States
of America. At Anchorage, Alaska,
the farthest north Elks lodge stands
amid almost polar ice and snow. Elks
lodge rise at Brownsville, Texas, and
Key West, Florida-farthest southern
points of the continental United
States. Our canal zone has it's lodge
at Balboa Heights. Our island pos
sessions are starred with Elks lodges
at Manila in the Philippines, at Hon.
olulu and Hilo in Hawaii, at Guam,
and at San Juan in Porto Rico. And
the Elks of America are working to
initiate their millionth member by
July, 1922, when the Grand Lodge
meets at Atlantic City.
Ocala Lodge No. 286 was granted
its charter on July 23rd, 1908, and
had amongst its charter members
some of our leading and most influ-
entail citizens, such men as Edward
Hitler, Edward Holder, Otis T. Green,
Mel M. Alfred, VIM. H. Powers, Geo.
H. Ford, A. S. Anderson, Richard S.
Hall, D. w. Davis, Geo. R. Mexican,
Geo. K. Robinson, Frank S. Watson,
James E.. Chace, George MacKay, S.
E. Hitler, John H. Taylor, Thomas K.
Slaughter and others. The most of
these have passed to the great be-
yond. At the present time Ocala
Lodge No. 2S6 has a fine membership
of live Elks. Its present exalted
ruler is A A. Vandenbrock and Chas.
Y Miller is secretary.

The little cottage on Oklawaha,
which for ten years had been his
home, was surrounded Tuesday after
noon with friends not only of the,
town but from other communities,
some many miles away. The casket,
almost hidden from sight with flow
ers, was in the parlor, and at its head
Rev. ]. J. Neighbor stood to read the
sublime funeral service of the Episco-
pal church. The parlor and nearby
rooms were crowded with mourners;
the sorrowing relatives and some
close friends in the room adjoining
the parlor, which had been the favorite
resting place of the departed for al
most ten years. Here Jimmy" loved
to come when the days work was
over, to sit and read, smoke his pipe,
and extend greetings to his friends.
He was a man of quiet tastes and
wide information, both in books and
public affairs, and doubtless some of
the most pleasant hours of his life in
Ocala were spent in this little room.
The ceremony was brief, there was
no singing, and when Mr.. Neighbour
had finished reading the service, the
casket was borne to the hearse and
followed by a long line of cars was
taken to Greenwood. 1t was the great
est funeral cortege Ocala ever saw;
the line of cars was at least mile
long, and many were waiting at the
cemetery when. the hearse arrived.
The grave had been dug between
two of the trees that form the line on
the hilltop between Greenwood and its
annex. The ceremony at the grave
was as simple and briefer than that
at the home. Rev. Neighbour read
the burial service as the casket was
lowered to it's place, and made a brief
prayer, and then the sorrowing
friends came away and left their be-
loved dead in peaceful rest with his
face toward the sunrise that shall
sometime bloom into everlasting day.
There has never been a funeral in
Ocala where there was greater testi-
mony of sympathy and regret, and
never one where the floral offerings
were more numerous and beautiful.
The grave was heaped high and COW
cred from sight with the most fra
grant flowers our fiowery state af-
fords.
So passes from US man whom we
can i'll spare, man whose life prin-
eiple was service and duty, and who
has left us as a rich heritage a renew
ed hope and faith in the innate good
ness of humanity
