THE LEGEND OF THE DOG
WOOD TREE
At the time of the crucifixion the
dogwood attained the size of the
Oak, and other forest trees, so
strong and Arm was the wood that
it was chosen as the timber for the
cross.
To be thus used for such a cruel
purpose greatly distressed the tree.
Jesus nailed upon it sensed this and
in his gentle pity for all sorrow said
to it, "Because of regret and pity
for my suffering, I make you this
promise, Never again shall the Dog
wood tree grow large entugh to be
used for a Cross. Thenceforth it
shall be slender and shall be bent and
twisted and its blossoms shall be in
the form of a cross, two long and
two short petals, and in the center
of the outer edge of each petal, there
will be nail prints,, and in the centdr
of the flower, brown with rust, and
stained with blood, will be a crown
of thorns, so that all who see it will
remember it was upon a dogwood
tree that I was crucified, and this
tree shall not be mutilated nor de
stroyed, but cherished and protected
as a reminder of my agony, and
death upon the cross.
The experts are still guessing
about the war?so we will guess that
Russia, if she enters the war, will^
fight on the side of the Allies.

Replying to criticisms of the . War
Department Secretary Woodrlng
points out that Army appropriations
of $6459,800,000 in the period from
1924 to 1940 were largely used for
pay, rations, clothing, repairs, re
search and development, planning,
construction, training,- operations,
maneuvres, schools and similar items.
Altogether; be says 81 per cent of
the amount went for "recurring
charges and improvement of plant"
For increased defense facilities, there
was left a bare $854,556,000, says the
War Secretary, and of this sum,
$509,900,000 went to the Air Corps.
In sixteen years only $344,656,000,
or 5.6 per cent was available for in
creasing, modernizing and replacing
arms and equipment of the ground
element of the Army.
A $600,000,000 increase Govern
ment funds for crop loans, intended
to' protect American farmers from
war-time price shocks, has been' ap
proved by the Senate Banking Com
mittee and the measure in general-/
ly expected to pass Congress with
out serious opposition.
The Commodity Credit Corpora
tion has almost reached its present
lending limit of $1,000,000,000. The
new funds will be used ah follows:
$150,000,000 to cover 3,300,000 bales
of cotton; $150,000,000 to cover 263,
000,000 bushels of com; $90,000,000
for 140,000,000 bushels of wheat;
40,000,000 for tobacco loans; and
$60,000,000 for loans on other crops.
Ambassador Joseph C. Grew re
cently gave an audience of Japanese
and exposition of American ideals in
international policy. -Calling atten
tion to the fact that modem science
is obliterating frontiers, he said that
a new Pacific era was opening and
that different civilized^ races," face to
face, are developing, "experimenting
and tearing against the day when the
natural frontiers no longer physical
ly exist" The ambassador explained
that a policy based on the communi
ty of interests among the Pacific
powers would "dictate the utmost
freedom and th flow of life's peace
ful comnjodities." Meanwhile, it ap
pears, -that non-involvement in the
European War and disposal of the
"China "affair" are' two motives: be
hind present Japanese foreign policy.
Just eractly how they are connected
and how they will be carried out is
not clear.
IN APPRECIATION
To you who have been ao kind and
thoughtful during my long illness, I
would like to paas this copied poem
by Edgar A. Guest.
May God bless you for each
thought and deed.
JOSIE HEARNE.
I'd like to be the sort of friend that
you have been to me;
I'd like, to be the help that you've
been always glad to be;
I'd liko to m**"1 as much to you each
minute of the day
As you have meant, old friend of
mine, to me along the way.
I'd like to do the big tilings and the
splendid things for you,
To brush the gray from out your
dSes and leave them only blue;
I'd like to say those kindly things
that I so oft have heard ,
And feel that I could rouse your soul
the way that mine you've stirred.
I'd like to give you back the joy
that you have given me,
Yet that were wishing you a need
I hope Will never be;
I'd like to make you feel as rich as
I, who travel on
Undaunted in the darkest hours with
you to lean uponi '
wishing at this time that I could
hot repay
A portion of the gladness that you've
stream along my way;
And could 1 have one wish this year,
tills would it be:
fd like to be the sort of friend that
you^have been to me.
