Music Club News
The thing uppermost in the minds
of the Club last week was the operetta
that was enjoyed by a large audience
on Thursday evening.
Many expressions of appreciation
and congratulations have been given
to the Club for the success of the
program. The counsellor of the Music
Clubs wishes to thank sincerely every
member of the cast for their co-ope
ration and efforts in producing the
operetta—special thanks to Miss
Frances Williamson and Miss Ruth
Dunwody ifor their assistance in
coaching and staging the plays. The
author of the operetta was not men
tioned on the programs and for this
oversight, apologies are made to Mrs.
Marguerite White Bennett of Decatur.
The Saunders orchestra from Rey
nolds, added much pleasure to the or-
caslon with a number of selections
which were well rendered. The, read
ings of Miss Martha Maxwell were
thoroughly appreciated. Each mem
ber of the cast acted well and it would
be hard to comment in detail upon
their poise and clearness. The chorus
girls were attractively costumed for
each chorus and their singing and
dancing was a credit to them and
their coach.
Now, with the operetta over, inter
est centers in the Music Convention
in Macon April 13-15. The Butler con
testants, will not go until Friday the
14th. Many entertaining and profitable
features have been planned. The next
two weeks will mean much hard work
by the contestants.
The April Club meeting will not be
held until after the Convention.

SOME FACTS ABOUT
OUR FORESTS
The fourth and fifth grades of
Cross Roads school recently complet
ed the study of a Forestry Primer,
edited by the American Tree Asso
ciation and have each written a
theme. Some gave the most essentials
they had learned from the entire
book. Others selected one chapter to
write about. The following have been
selected as among the best and the
most original. We contribute this in
hopes that others will think about
helping to conserve our forests.

Saturday in Columbus.
Washington, March 22.—Ignance
Paderwski, Polish pianist, and one
time premier of his country, was the
guest of, honor recently at a dinner
in the state dining room of the White
House since President Roosevelt took
office.
Paderwski, in Washington for
concert, was a White House guest
during his stay in Washington—no
new experience for him since he vis
ited" former President and Mrs. Hoo
ver there. He has known both families
for years.
He had his own piano taken to the
White House when he visited the
Hoovers, but he left it on his private
car during his recent stay. The ex
ecutive mansion, however, has manv
pianos.
Spring flowers were placed at Mrs.
Roosevelt's direction on the White
House dinner table. Among the guests
was the Polish ambassador, Stanislaw
Patek.
OUR FORESTS
(By Louise Payne)
Paper and pencils, houses and hoops
desks and doors, soap and shoes, air
planes and automobiles, baseball bats
and boats, and many other things
depend partly or wholly upon our
forests. Without trees we could not
have these things. They are all a part
of our lives, our happiness, and our
lomfort.
Many of our ’forests are used in
making newspaper. It takes 16 acres
of spruce trees to make the Sunday
edition of one metropolitan! newspa
per. The paper manufacturers, so
their experts say, make enough paper
the width of a newspaper in four
years to reach to the sun and -back
again.
Because of insect pests, waste In
cutting and manufacturing, forest
fires, and diseases our forests are go
ing four times faster than they are
being replenished. It is estimated that
in 40 years our largest forests will bo
gone unless something is done to pre
vent it. Dr. L. O. Howard, one of our
country’s leading authorities on in
sects, recently made a startling state
ment. He said that if roan does not
succeed in combating insects they will
destroy man. Before a tree is made
into a finished product, it is estimated
that two-thirds of the tree is wasted.
The worst enemies of our forests are
forest fires, insects, waste in cutting,
and disease.
North America with one-tewelfth
of the world’s people, uses one-half
of all the timber consumed in the
world.
There are 81,000,000 acres of Idle
land in this country all of which
should he put to work growing trees
Stopping preventable waste in lumber
would save yearly as much as we now
grow on 170,000,000 acres.
The railroads of United States use
about 130,000,000 new wood ties every
year. There are about 3,000 to the
mile. Something like 6,000,000 trees
are cut annually for telegraph and
telephone poles and we use 500,000,000
fence posts every year. In all, we use
about twenty-three billion cubic feet
of wood a year; forest fires and in
sects destroy two billion feet more.
Trees should be taxed only when
they are cut. This would encourage re
forestation of idle land.
(By Lowell T. Travis)
“Our interests must be in concord;
not conflict,” said a great President
Unltey means success; dissension
means failure. I believe it is correct
to say that being mutual means lor
us to share alike. But we will first
consider unity. Progress is almost im
possible in any endeavor without uni
ty. It is the forerunner of all great
achievements. Concentration of etforts
means success.

(An original poem by James Henry
Harmon, 12-year-old-son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. P. Harmon.)
Talmadge, you’re a friend to me
So I’ll help you climb the tree.
Hard times 'ill come no more,
'Cause Talmadge ’s knocking at the
door.
Come on boy, I’m strong for yon
You can’t be beat, you’ll pull thru.
Blue-shirt man with overalls tom
Will stand by Talmadge sure as
you’re bont;
’Cause he jumped in the flivver which
Was ten years old,
Put on a $3 tag and away he rolled.
The man that sold tags was a sport
you know,
But he may not •have a job any more-
He wouldn't sell tags at $3 each,
So Talmadge sent him clear out of
reach.
Come oh Talmadge, you’re a cracker
jack,
You help the man who wears a cotton
sack.
Governor, you know what farm men
need,
We know you’ll help us to succeed
Our cars are old and worthless too,
To buy a high-priced tag never
would do.
Up the cotton row, back to the en«.
Get in the old truck and go to the gm.
Pick a bale o’ cotton, pack it on the
truck,
Tag only $3, isn’t that luck?
Some people don’t like Talmadge—
this high collared clan; .
But that isn’t true with the blue-shir
man; ,
So just keep on making laws such a.
the $3 tags,
Maybe the farmer can quit wean g
rags.
FORESTS PREVENT
FLOODS?
(By Estelle Saunders)
Forests are the 'best of our water
holders and soil holders. A forest acts
like a big sponge. The thick mat of
leaves and moss is able to absorb
many hundred times its own weight
of water. When a sudden storm comes
over a forest it is quickly soaked up
and later this same water comes to
the surface again.
The forests help to save soil. If we
could prevent floods from carrying
earth along we could decrease the
flood’s power to do harm. That is just
what the floods are doing—taking the
soil away.
The rootlets of trees cling about
the particles of soil and bold them
against the rivulets of rain and be
sides this holding action of the roots
the trees help in another way. The
rain that beats on the forests cannot
beat on the 3oil because the thick,
leafy crowns keep it from beating on
it. So instead of striking the soil and
carrying it away, the water falls
harmlessly to the ground. This loss
of earth is a great Waste. Every year
tons of America’s best soil is washed
away and forever lost. It flows out
into some sea or "river, where, instead
of serving some useful purpose such
as growing timber or some other crop
it piles up to form dangerous shoals
or bars.
There can be no question but that
to decrease the danger of floods is to
protect and plant forests, and while
they are doing this the are adding to
the wealth of the nation. If forests
are used carefully, they will pay
back every cent they cost, besides
protecting our streams and hillsides,
free of charge.

One county in a state is Insignifi
cant. and nosslbly a state, compara
tively speaking, but the aggregate of
these United State means the greatest
nation and the grandest government
on earth, and its glory and power are
reflected in that banner which we all
feel honored to salute, as it unfurls
and waves in the breeze.
We now cbme to the mutual phase.
We -must share and share alike. This
does not mean share the successes, but
in some way avoid the failures. If we
are not susceptible to sorrow, neither
would we be to happiness.
I believe it is somewhere recorded
in the Book that we should bear one
another’s burdens. I. believe mutual
Interest, agreement and love are the
first requisites of civilization. With
out these civilization would finally
fade from the earth. But I believe
that they are today opposed more
stubbornly by greed, hate and selfish
ness than ever before.
We should at all times be indulgent
regarding the opinion of others. Free
speech is one of the brightest stars
in the crown of liberty. We should
never become so enthused or bewilder
ed by our own opinions and ideas that
we iose sight of the fact that our
neighbor has convictions, too. T’me
may demonstrate he was right. The
most ignorant man should have tho
right to express himself. It is so or
dered in our supreme law. Christ Him
self refused to deprive humanity of
free speech. ,
We need a new awakening, the
more we eliminate the debasing influ
ences, the nearer we approach a per
fect civilization. This can be accom
plished only by the cultivation of the
mind and conscience. We make very
little progress in cultivating, the mind
if we disregard conscience., Environ
ment is a great factor in determining
the destiny of men and nations, and
it should be improved in every way
possible. . ; J
One of the greatest men who ever
lived said, “I always pluck a thistle
and plant a rose wherever I think a
rose will grow." What a glonous sen
timent. It rises way above the ordi
nary feelings and inclinations' of hu
manity toward the realm of the inti-
nite. That sentence put into universal
practice would reform the world. The
spirit of hate, envy, and malice would
die 'beneath the purifying influwice of
brotherly love and liberality. Power
ful battleships would iiist out in the
harbors and guns w«u*d be stacked
f °We* should be taught the great im
portance of our individual responsi
bility. It is indeed impossible for us
to escape it. God Himself the be-
ginning placed the responsibility upon
S. I believe He established the law
of free agency in the Garden of Ejten.
I believe he will hold us responsible.
H Fundamentally?our thinking should
be high, elevating and noble. Thought,
is the forerunner of decision, action,
achievement. But for mind and
thought humanity would *rope in
darkness, and civilization and light
would give way to darkness and lgnor-
a "lt seems today that wrong is en
throned a» never before, but we annum
not despair, for it is in the eternal
plans of the Master that right a-jd
Justice will ultimately triumph. Trulv
it will be so. I reallv believe that if
we could look down through the com
ing years we would see a world o
peace. “Peace on earth and good will
to men” will be the universal practice.
The ignorance, selfishness and preen
that once spread like a great shadow
over the world will be disuelled bv
the light of knowledge, good will and
brotherly love. Equal and exact jus-
ti-o will then bo a reentry.
