copent Reasons Why There Should
Be a Termination Of the Present

II you are short OF sentiment, and
think more about money than you do
about the service that your soldiers

being a tree Stacker. Your help Is
wanted In planting trees along the na-
lions highways In memory Of the
services Of all soldiers Of the World

that is any argument. Property with
shade trees brings a higher price than
property without It. Roads with trees
give comfort to you and your children
and your chIldren's children.
Shelter and shade are two OF the
blessings the trees give us. In these
days of the scarcity and high price of
fuel for our homes and schools, trees
are an asset as windhTeaks. A group
of trees on the windward side OF your
building keeps 1t warm against the
cold blasts.
The heat of summer is bearable
with scattered trees and their shade
along your paths. The attractiveness
of any place is enhanced by trees.
With a little care you can plant
memory trees on home grounds, street,
school lawns, or parks.
Trees cool and purify the air. Pub
lie forests have been used for health
resorts because of the trees. II you
plant n few trees together, happy
groups here and there, they will re-
ward you without fail.
