Enjoyable Entertainment at United
 Church Chapel.

lEnjoyable Entertainment at United
 Church Chapel.
 The "Reveries of Bachelor" a series of tableaux, in which the characters were taken by well known young peo- pie of the church, attracted quite a large gathering to the United church chapel last evening. The tableaux were presented in four acts, each one show ing the bachelor, in the person of Wal ter Downs, seated before blazing log fire in an old-fashioned, home-like, comfortable looking fireplace. As he contemplates the f1ickering light thrown by the logs the thoughts which passed through his mind were interpreted by MT. Dean, who read from a table close by. The reveries in which he indulged there took in the whole scope of his life, from boyhood and youth to old age. Its more important incidents af- forded subject for the tabueaux, re- yealed by the sliding back of the inner wall of the fireplace, the parting of the mists in the dreamland of the sleeper as 1t were.
 The subject of each one and those who took part were as follows:

OF forestry for a working plan for its
$4,000 acre-tract of hardwood timber
in southeastern Missouri. This marks
what is probably the first attempt OF
an American manufacturing establish
ment to employ modern forest meth
DDS in raising hardwood timber for its
own use. The timber owned by the
company consists chiefly of OAK, ash
and hickory. woods especially adapted
to the manufacture of agricultural i'm
plements. The owners intend TO re-
move all the less valuable species, such
as cottonwood. gum. honey locust and
cypress. so IS 10 give the others all
possible advantage for growth. A plan
will be made by which the merchant
able timber may be removed without
injury 10 the producing power OF the
forest. The division will send experts
10 the tract to make the observations
necessary for such q plan.
