To celebrate the Fourth in proper
manner means community work. . It
means activity for every individual in 1

it means thorough co-operation. When 1

but grab hold and help him over
with it. .. . . . . j

These things are done as people do
them. They do not do themselves,
and the way to have a real time, such.

This editorial does not mean we arc
not going to have n great celebration,
for we are.' iHut it does mean that
more willing hands arc needed to hclu
the few who are working. If, through
thoughtlessness you haven't taken out

Iteforcstalion in Massachusetts is
well started now. .lust recently the
stale set out 2,(HMI,(I(I0 evergreen trees,
raised in stole nurseries. Thai is said
lo be the largest number ever planted
in Ihe stale in a single year.
According to Massachusetts state
forester. V. W. Kane, the most hopeful
part of it all is that there is a general
public interest in forestry mutters
which is steadily increasing. The peo
ple seem to be awake "to the value of
forestry work and eager lo have the'
reforestnUon carried on. It may not
be long before they are setting out
10,000,00(1 trees a year instead of n
fifth of that number.
This is as it should be. Every slate
ought to be planting grout tracts or
trees annually. Private land owners,
too, should have a keen interest i i
the work. 'There should he trees for
beauty and shade as well as others for
future commercial purposes. If th"
intelligent .interest of the public con
tinues to grow in all parts of the conn
try, the time will be nearer when we
shall see shade trees along every high
way. instead of ugly sign-boards, when
no town will be without its beautiful
trees and every family will have al
least one lovely tree growing where
