An Example In Forestry

The POcOnO Manor Association of
Pennsylvania has 100 acres. covered
principally with a dense growth of
chestnut and chestnut oak sprouts
which it intends to improve by for
estry. This association has spent 2
large sum of money in erecting build
lngS and improving the condition of
its grounds for the comfort and
pleasure of its members during the
summer months. The tract of land is
on Little Pocono mountain, about 20
miles north of Delaware Water Gap.
and it is at present in a very bad con-
dition. 1t was numbered some forty
years ago, and has been burnt over
periodically about once every four
or five years since then It's present

Thinning must be done and also some

The greatest need is protection from

protection of the 700 acres These
plans are now being put in operation.

All that property is held under a

revert to Captain Garter just as soon
as the latter can establish his inno-
cence of the charges of conspiracy on
which he was convicted and sent to

me himself that Carter had received
not one cent from the Savannah har-

thority. Another story by n. Josephine
Brangwin will be read by every WO-
man into whose hand the November
Pilgrim falls as it is wholly concerned
with The Trouble with Women" The
fourth nstallment of Karl Edwin
the Deal" leaves the characters at a
point where the readers interest is
growing keen. An Isolated Case by
Henry NJ. Verde has its first part in
the November issue and the reader is
left in doubt as to its conclusion which
promises to be more than uncOnven-
tiOnal. An article of decided feminine
interest tells of The Linen Workers
of Mexico, and is happily illustrated
with photographs. Mr.. Green's de-
partment of current comment, perhaps
the most valua BILE feature of the mag
azine from month to month treats of
those incidents of the past thirty days
which will go into history. The usual
household departments are main
tanned together with two pages of
fashion designs. An article Of real
value is that of Walter E. Evans who
writes with first-hand knowledge Of

variety and interest of it's contents
may be said to realize fully it's edito-
