A 1924 Acton Press fragment presents a poem about a tree planter woman and a child, bending to plant and tending a grove along a highway. The labor of care fosters visions of future shade and home, with a responding child expressing love for the work and dreams of birds, pilgrims, and children playing under the trees.
A long reflective piece tells of a southern town's decay and a solitary figure who, after returning from abroad, funded and directed an underground sewer, improved the schoolhouse and church, planted trees, and banished pigs and goats.

Roosevelt is cited on patriotism, and a fable about bread traces origins from farmer to God, underscoring community interdependence.
