by Moose lodges He described Moose
heart as small city with 78 buildings,
all Of which have been built, and are
maintained by members Of the lodges
throughout the state
He said in part: I'VE are in a fast
moving organization In more respects
than one-we are getting away n
Moose members from the Moose idea.
Should we as Moose members, be
ruled and directed IN every detail by
the chief executives of the order at
Philadelphia? OF course not. We
would object strenuously to an edict
like that. The lodge here is an ideal
instance. 1t is growing rapidly. is
prosperous and its members are con-
tented There is no reason why
America could not be operated the
same way"
In closing Mr.. Pittenger made the
following statement: mo other frater-
nal organization is doing more for the
children than the Moose Lodge.
Fortunately, other lodges are catching
the spirit Mooseheart, the city OF
contentment, is truly the eighth won
der of the world Mr.. Lommen and
Mr.. Geraghty also praised the Moose

THE GHOST TREES
By Alice Booth Day

In the dark days of winter when the
skies are dull and grey,
And down through the valleys the
fog loves to stray;
Never mind the weather, just be of
good cheer,
For those are the days when the
ghost trees appear.
Deep in the forest against the noun
tainside--
Don't you ever worry if the sun
should chance to hide;
For this is the region where year
after year
In the dark days of winter the ghost
trees appear.
Times when the mountain has been
hidden away
BY thick damp curtain that is cold
and grey;
When that curtain rises-have no
doubt. or fear
Far up the mountain will the ghost
trees appear.
Some line morning the log Will clear
away,
While out from behind the clouds
the sun will send ray;
Down through the valley and up the
mountainside,
Battalion past battalion the ghost
trees glide.
And down through the years to the
sunset of life
AS / bear my share Of the burder
and strife,
| will be Of good courage if Pm Away.
