pods. There are many tiny seed chill

silky float for wind-coasting journeys.
The trees are planted mostly for
ornamental purposes. This one IS cne
of the three European poplars. The
others are the black and the Lom-
hardy.
There are extensive forests in low,
rich lands and on the slopes of noun
tains, composed Of trees of the genus
populus. They reach a fine size and
hold on to life for long time. They
grow well from seed, and will strike
root from twigs.
They have a habit that has given
them black mark among those who
have them as close neighbors. That is
of sending up suckers, and their leaves
have way of collecting dust and SCOT.

look as If they need a good securing.
However, if planted where they form
a background, the leaves do not dis

the white poplar has too many good
traits to be much troubled with its

Natures Children
White Poplar (Populus alba).
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

4 MER1CANS are deeply attached
~ to the white poplar as a home
~ guard tree. 1t loses no time
4 \ in growing up. That is grand
trait. A new home and young trees
growing old together make a fine
combination. OF course, there are a
few very unusual times when home
site can be found with a well-estab-
lished white poplar in just the right
place. But this is seldom, and so
devoted friend of the poplar will plant
youngster and gladly watch it grow.
The tree is attractive the year around.
The angled or round twigs are set
with scaly buds, and the leaves are
and on long stems. They are downy,
with beautiful silVery-velvet lining
that is wonderful contrast to the
dark, glossy surface above.
The long stems are supple, and the
wind coming along causes them to
dance with delight. The sunlight,
playing upon the leaves, gives the
beholder an impression of bright, rip
pling water. The picture is most pleas
ing and viewed by the home owner
always with deep pleasure and sat-
asfaction.
The pale outer bark of the tree has
q trait of breaking into spots and
streaks. The dark lower layer Is
exposed. The cottonwoods have the
same habit.
The wood is soft and light, the bark
bitter. There are many uses for the
wood, but pulp-making uses up most
sof it.
Both types of flowers are crowded
! into the hanging catkins. Each flower
is subtended by bract with a deeply
cut, hairy margin.

DIR NEW TARIFF POLICY

Put statstically, the results of Secre-
tary Hull's attack on foreign tariff walls
seem meagre. And to some extent the
conclusion is justified. -Four great mar
kets for American goods-the United
Kingdom. Germany, Italy, and Japan
have not yet come to terms with us, nor
we with them. Nevertheless, something
has been done in a situation in which
something badly needed doing. 1t has
been demonstrated that neither foreign
tariff walls nor our own are impregnable.
The new method of tariff making has
proved workable.

KNOW YOUR COMMUNITY

The restoration of the old Washington
Monument near Boonsboro, will be an
added attraction to tourists who journey
through this section of Maryland. While
this state is we'll blessed with historical
points of interest, Washington County
seems to have more than its share COM
nared to other sections. The Washing
ton Monument, Fort Frederick and the
Antietam Battlefield are only a few.
However, having them is not just
enough. 1t is up to the citizens to sell,
them to the visitors. In other words,
time spent in acquainting yourself with
your county, is time well spent.

LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN
 (Contributed)

When worldliness would strive to
 make My thought confused and slow, My heart goes back to that fair
 time In the glad long ago, When Jesus drew the little ones Of sunny Galilee To nestle in his loving arms, Or lean against his knee. And, oh, so tenderly, I see, Upon each little head, His gentle hands in blessing laid. Loves joy around them shed. And then hear his loving words. Spoken to you and me As truly as to those of old Beside the Syrian sea. To enter our dear Fathers home, His kingdom sweet and fair, We must like little children be. As pure, as free from care. Oh, let Us like those little ones About the Saviours knee, Accept the mother love of God In sweet simplicity. His tender arms are open wide; We need not strive or plead To find the way to his dear love Which meets our every need.
