Another Tree Planting Crank.
People who read the Leader
have thought its editor a little
eranky on the tree planting ques-
tion, but there is another crank
of this kind down at Temple, and
he constantly sings this song of
planting trees. His name is W.
Goodrich Jones, and he has
planted trees and insisted on oth-
ers planting trees, until Temple
is fairly well shaded for a place
which began a little more than
twenty years ago on a bald prai-
rie. Read what he says of trees,
and then go and plant some your-
self. Here is his communication:
“Some of the best friends I
have ever had were trees. When
a boy, I was chased by escaped
hounds and took refuge up a tree,
where I spent a memorable ten
hours, until rescued.
The grandest work of nature
i have ever seen were some trees
in California, older probably than
the Christian era. The sweetest
music I ever heard, was the tree
top melody among the ancient
and ever green Balsams, in the
Adriondack mountains, as I lay
at night under their magnificent
boughs.
The saddest sights I ever saw,
were what were once the forest
regions of Colorado, Texas,
Pennsylvania, Michigan and else-
where, lands robbed by thp in-
satiate lumber man and ti8 cotter
of their every tree. The 'hills
were washed of their soil, robbed
of verdure and humidity, and
great snarling rocks^ and ugly
seams and gullies remained to
show where once was a fair and
habitable land.
“This tree subject is not a lute
on which the bard alone shall
hang his rhymes and measures.
It means health, wealth, life to
he citizen and farmer. It means
beauty, comfort and increased
values for your city property. It
means better streets, sidewalks,
cleaner alleys, flower gardens,,
banishment of the “town cow,” a
purer moral atmosphere, better
city government, more orderly'
children, and a more united citi-
zenship.
“If our farmer friends would
drop a few China berries, hack-,
berry, mulberry, walnut, cottony-
wood, black locust, pecan, or
other seeds a few inches in the
ground, around their homes,
they would in time have shade
and a pleasanter and more valu-
able home. Then would follow
the vegetable and flower garden,
more contentment on the farm, a
higher grade of tenants', and le°ss
moving to town.
“Try it, Mr. Citizen and Farm-
er. This is no new gospel, it is
cold, hard, “Gad Grind Facts.9’
We can cite you many states^
many nations, and thousands of
eities, that have learned the tree
lesson and practiced it.
“Texas is new, and. like all
new lands, she firs|.offeels the
hand of the destroyer. Poor Lo!
the Indian, has gone to meet the
spirits of the Buffalo, and ropst
of our wild animals and choicest
plumagea birds; and now the
forest’s requiem is being sung.
“There is not a reader of this
article, who could> not plant a
tree and induce his neighbor to
do likewise. Seedling trees
from the nursery are very cheap,
while hackberry seedlings can be
found everywhere.
“Are you a speculator? There
is nothing in spots or futures that
will equal a pecan grpve. Are
you a staid business map looking
for something sure? There is
nothing that accumulates inter-
est faster than a tree. It works
day and night, and while you
sleep.
“Are you a health seeker?
Trees purify the atmosphere,
feeding on poisonous gasses and
breathing out health and new
life.
“Are your thoughts spiritual?
Then in the mysterious life
sprung from the dead seed, and
growing into a magnificent tree
pointing heavenward, you have
man, come from the great un-
thinkable void, and growing
when properly nourished, in good
soil and clean environments, into
strength and beauty and reaching
forth to the spiritual hereafter.”
Methusala was all right, you bet,
For a good old soul was he,
They say he would be liying yet,
Had he taken .Rocky Mountain Tea.

It is always a pleasure for The
Leader to commend the work of
the noble women of Lampasas.
They have done a work here
which the men probably never
could have done, and surely
never would have done.' The
public library building, with its
books and furnishings will stand
as a monument to their memory
and their goo<l works as long as
some of us can remember at least.
The qemetery association by close
work, careful plans and diligent
constancy has made the city of
the dead one of the most lovely
spots ih this section. The ladies
of the different churches have
"made their influence felt through
the wortp, of their aid societies,
and many of their gifts to church
institutions abroad have even as-
tonished themselves. Encourage
all these good women, for the
world would be but.# great blank
without them.
