A LESSON FROM MEXICO.
Destruction of the Forests Has Brought
Drought and DesoIation.

Drought and Desoiation.
The early conquerors of this country
and their followers Of today have been
very wasteful and careless in the dispo-
sition of their forests, with the result
of aceelerating the date when they will
be compelled to face problem of forest
preservation at considerable cost to
themselves. Denizens of the northwest
are familiar with the rapidity with
which the valuable timber areas have
been denuded, until now there is scarce
ly merchantable tree between Ar
kansas and the Canadian line Many
; notes of warnings accompanied this de-
struetion of the northern soft wood for
ests, but they fell upon unwilling ears
| Only after it was too late to stop the
mischief did the country begin to reoog-
nize the indirect value of forests to agri-
culture and that no high degree of civ
| ilization can exist permanently wit
out some systematic and adequate forest
management. In India the destructi N
of the forests commenced 1000 years
! ago, and that country, having at last
seen the folly of such waste, is now en-
! gagged in the expensive undertaking Of
! reforesting large areas i
The effect upon rainfall and the pro-
duetiveness of the cultivated tracts has
already been acknowledged by investi-
| gators. When Goftes first saw the val
ley Of Mexico, it was covered vita
woods, not dense, but abundant, from
the timber line on the volcanoes down
to the waters edge. The reckless cut
ting down of the forests by the Span
iards in the first century following the
conquest in 1921 increased evaporation,
caused the lakes to dry up, led to fire.

They all claim that the tablelands had

now there are barren deserts.
This government has taken some steps
in the matter, but it is also necessary
for the landowners to assist in this
work by planting trees and irrigating
them for few years until they have
taken good root BY using good judg
ment in selecting the trees and in plant

which are now so frequent of years of

story of a Ring and a slipper.

The daughter of wealthy resident
of the hill section presented young
woman friend with pair of dainty
slippers, and in the toe of one of them
she placed valuable ring, set with an
opal and two diamonds. The present
went to the destination, but the slippers
did not fit, and the recipient of the gift
did not discover the ring. She sent the
slippers back to the store, and they were
placed on the shelves with the thou
sands of otker similar boxes
On Monday the foorwalker III the
shoe department received severe shock
when young woman rushed into the
place and rambled off lot of talk about
missing jewels. After some difficulty he
managed to get the facts of her story to-
gether, and then every one of the en-
ployees was ordered to begin a search
for the slippers. In two hours they Were
found, and the ring was just where it
had been placed. Brooklyn Eagle.

Too Personal.


One of the women's patriotic socie-
ties held an open meeting in Washing
ton recently, and the members were
called upon 70 respond to various senti-
ments of patriotic character. The
woman who had the affair in charge
notified each member of the toast she
would be expected to respond to ten
days or so before the meeting. To one
young woman whom, as it happened,
she did not know personally at all she
sent the toast, "Our Fag. " The young
woman received it, and at once went to
call on the head of the society in a state
of great distress. She simply could not
respond to the toast, she said. She didn't
know whether joke was intended, but
she had been chatfed anmercifully about
it already and just simply wouldn't go
