for these ancient forests and feel sorry that
we didn't move out here earlier in life-say
2o,00O or 1000 years ago. We miss great
many good things in this world by not being

The cause of this present lack OF timber our
scientific friends tell us, is .the continual
rising of the land on the western side of the
continent" They must have owned some
town lots out here sometime and noticed that
the taxes doubled every year.

AS the ranks of the war veterans grow
thinner and the roll of departed heroes
grows longer there is not only no diminu-
ton in the enthusiasm Of Memorial day.
but If anything the spirit of the day grows
stronger as the younger generations become
lmbued with its idea. A Grand Army man
has said that the respect and admiration
tor the war veterans grows stronger and
deeper in the hearts of the American
people as their ranks grow thinner.
Memorial day, an institution founded
for the perpetuation of loyalty is the
chief reason for this growth of tender feel
ing toward the survivors of the war. There
is no more pathetic sight than a line of
these middle-aged and old men trudging
year after year to the homes of the dead
and placing garlands above the graves Of
their comrades. Each year the work grows
harder as the proportion of the living and
