proval . of placing ; large placards oc
signs on the trees. He was informed
that the committee wished to name
one of the trees after him. While de
siring that some other name be given
to the tree, the President said he did
not want to act churlish in,, the mat
ter, and, if the committee really de
sired to name the tree after him, he
would not object.

bearing his" name, that was to be plac
ed on the tree, should not be more than
three-quarters of an inch by an inch
