There is no question about the need,
the value, the absolute necessity of
planting trees inaAmerica. Any small
argument against it is overcome by big
arguments by people who know the
tree subject.
There is but one question left-how
many trees will You. plant? You don't
have to do the actual work. Pay your
money to the American Legion. The
boy scouts of the country have of
fered to take orders from the legion
and plant trees, and giving money is

The Importance of insisting upon
making our city cleaner, more attrac

was quite evident that the citizens
there are making every effort to have
their city known, not only as a pro-
gressive and up-to-date center, but as
one of the beauty spots of the South

In our own Kansas City should we
not take more seriously the sugges-
lions of q just and successful news
paper and give more thought and at
tentiOn to the cleaning up, painting
and identifying of our downtown dis
tricts? To my mind, the present Is the
critical period in the life of our great
city, and we should be careful not
to allow our interest in its financial
welfare to overshadow our desire to
be known in the future as the city
beautiful.
Advertising is one of the biggest fac
tors in business, but before we can
take advantage of that means we
must get our business, or our com
munity, in such condition that we
are justified in offering it to the public.
