Newbern, of; Newberry, Fla.. who some time ago had a page advertise- ment in The Key West Citizen advocating statewide beautification, has spent most of his adult life and much of his money in persuading the people of Florida to plant trees. - Since 1922 he has disettiaica 1,000,- 000 copies of a pamphlet on tree planting and a similar number on the preservation of game in Florida, for lie is intensely in- terested also in protecting our wild life, and though he is now unable: to’ continue h pamphlets | because of- straightened financial ¢ireumstances, he is.still active in that work, which, eventual- ly, will mean much not. only in the beauti- fication of Florida as a result of the plant- ing of trees, but also in the enrichment of the state. 3 “Plant a tree!” That is the cry he is trying to make reach every part of Florida, and if Floridians generally respond to it and continue to adhere to it, the next gen- ertion will see millions of beautiful and valuable trees that are not now in Florida. Plant a tree yourself, have your wife plant one, your child or children plant one or more, do that throughout the state, Mr. Newbern points out, and the “harvest” that will be reaped in beauty in the years to come will rebound to the interests of the Plant,a tree, plant it in your -yard, plant it along the highw. » Plant, it any- where in the state where it will be accord- ed protection, and you may be sure when you plant it that you are helping yourself in some measure and posterity in a great measure. Aside from his commendable work in preserving wild life in Florida, Mr. New- bern has done incalculable good in promot- ing tree planting in the state. But he is not satisfied over the success that he has thus far attained. Like all other sincere up- builders in every walk of life in their anx- iety to succeed still more, he is solicitious to see his tree-planting efforts result in state-wide beautification, not fitfully here and there, but insistently continues every- where. To try to spur on the people of Flor- ida in his tree-planting campaign, he speaks of work along that line that is done day in and day out, in California, and points out that everything that is grown in that state can be grown in this state and some things can be grown in Florida that do not thrive in California. “Plant a tree!” Don’t wait till tomor- row to plant it, for things that are put off till tomorrow are generally put off alto- gether. “PLANT A TREE! PLANT IT TODAY.” CHANGES IN CONGRESS During the last year there have been no leas than 13 deaths and nine resigna- tions among members of Congress, a record number of changes from these causes in a similat period. Members who have died were Sena- tors Walsh of Montana, Howell of Nebras- ka; Dale, of Vermont; and Kendrick, of Wyomhing; - Representatives Garrett and Brine, of; Texas; Brand, of Georgia; ‘emp, of Louisiana; Almon, of Alabama; Watson, of Pennsylvania, Horner, of West Mirginia;and Clarke and Parker, of New York. Those who resigned were Hull, of Ten- nessee; to become secretary of state; Swan- son, of Virginia, to become secretary of the navy; Bratton, of New Mexico, Ragon, of Argansas and Major, of Illinois, to be- come federal judges; Garner, of Texas, to become vice-president; Douglas of Ari- zona, to become director of the budget; and Gibson, of Vermont, to become a sen- ator. The year’s Congressional death rate of 13 out of 531 members is about double the death rate of the general population, which is approximately 11 out of 1,000. Who remembers when women’s gar- ments had a coast-to-coast hook-up? The sublimest faith is that of some women who patronize beauty parlors. There is no more potent weapon than public opinion, and what influences it most? A college professor says man may live as long as he finds the world amusing. And it will probably be amusing as long as we have college professors.

He asks this paper to announce that he will restore all plants destroy- ed. This offer in no way conflicts with the offer of The Citizen to pay $25 for the arrest and con- viction of any person guilty of de- stroying flowers or plants.
