The area to be purchased and set aside is 63 acres, and the trees on it are characterized by experts as among the finest specimens of tie Douglas fir anywhere in the State. Because of the rapid cutting of the State's trees the women of Washington decided to raisc the funds to preserve this stand, so located that it will be accessible to thousands of motorists, and the re- sponse to their efforts was so popular that $17,000 of the amount given came from some 17,000 people. The re mainder was contributed in larger amounts, the contribution of the Geo graphic Society being the last $1,000 which now makes possible purchase of the trees. o A rainy day in the country can be Jjoyous if you're dressed for it. e THERE is nothing else more fitting than Fowers to express the spirit of Yuletide JOy.
