TREES WORTH SAVING

Tree lovers often have to face the
question of deciding whether or not
a particular tree is worth the ex-
pense of treatment. Tree special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture say that most shade
and ornamental trees wit honly a
few dead limbs are unquestionably
worth attention. Others that have
manv dead limbs or decayed areas
NAV not be worth the expense in
volved. particularly if they are rap
id-growing short-lived trees. In
many cases the owner will be better
satisfied in the end to replace a badly
diseased or mutilated tree with
healthy perfect one.

IN MEMoRIAM

In loving memory of dear mother
and wife, Elizabeth r. Donovan, who
departed this life, April 81, 1928:
Two years have passed since the sad
morning
When the angels came for you;
We can't forget and shall always re-
member,
Oh, how hard it was to say goodbye.
To the noble life of honesty and purity,
And to the one who loved so dear,
But God loved you, too, and thought it
best
To take you from your sufferings.
We saw you fading like a flower,
But could not make you stay,
We nursed you with tender care,
Until God called you home.
When the shades of night are falling,
And we are sitting all alone,
In our heart there comes a feeling,
If you could only come back to us.
Gone, but not forgotten, by your hus-
band, Zach Donovan and daughter
Kathryn. 1tp

Thanksgiving Then and Now

Some 300 years ago a few strong men in England said: 'Let us cross the wide Atlantic. Let Us go far, very far away from England and risk life in a new land. Let us there find a way to worship God after the dictates of our consciences and tolerate no more the inte<. ference of men in this old homeland that is no longer home-ike."
 And they did even as they said they would do. Familiar faces and long loved scenes were behind as this little band of men and women ventured forth into uncertain dangers and unspeakable hardships.
 Finally they set their feet up- on rock and with iron resolut- ion went about the shaping of a new order of society. They had come neither for gold >or conquest, but to build homes and live in peace with God and man. So a day finally dawned when they feasted we'll and felt the thrill of that first flush of success. The Indians looked on, and came to partake of the feast.
 That was the first Thanksgiv- ing of the whites in the history of our land and has been per- petuated in all our later hist ory.
 Next Thursday the feast of Thanksgiving comes around again. But life is not so simple as in the days of that first far-away Thanksgiving feast. Not only. the Indian, but the Asiatic and the European and all the world have come to look on. For Thanksgiving is a truly maric9n cuctOm No othar people under the sun has any celebration exactly like it.
 And what those onlookers see is land of peace, inde- pendence, security and bount- eous wealth; a land literally flowing with milk and honey, wherein its people have and enjoy more of the good things
