they point to the necessity Of protect
ing through wise use mountain re
g1on whose influence flows far beyond
its borders with the waters of the
rivers to which it gives rise.
Among the elevations of the eastern
half of the United States, the South
ern Appalachians are of paramount in
terest for geographic, photographic,
and forest reasons, and, as a conse-
quence, for economic reasons as well.
These great mountains are old in the
history of the continent which has
wood forests were born on their slopes
and have spread thence over the east
ern half of the continent. More than
once in the remote geologic past they
have disappeared before the sea on the
east, south, and west and before the
ice on the north; but here in this
Southern Appalachian region they
have lived on to the present lay.
Under the varying conditions of
soil, elevation, and climate many of
the Appalachian tree species have de-
yeloped. Hence it is that in this re-
gion occur that marvellous variety and
richness of plant growth which have
led our ablest business men and scien-
lists to ask for it's preservation by the
Government for the advancement of
science and for the instruction and
pleasure of the people of our own and
of future generations.
The conclusions of the Secretary of
Agriculture are summarized as fol-
lows in his report:

Painful Ambiguity.

Secretary Shaw was telling an au-
dience, which was largely composed of
G. A. R. men of his State, how the
world was growing better. He pic
tured the conditions when he was a
boy and now He told of the advance
in the last few years in Industrial
conditions, and ended by saying:
Veterans, the world is much better
now than it was when you were born 2
and everyone of the veterans ap.
plauded loudly. aAnd it will be bet
ter when you have passed to the be-
yond," he continued. For few min
utes the audience did not know just
how to take the remark, but finally
they decided to give the speaker the
benefit of the doubt and applauoed
with spirit.

The agricultural resources Of the
Southern Appalachian region must

be protected and preserved. To that
end the preservation of the forests is
an indispensable condition, which will
lead not to the reduction, but to the
increase of the yield of agricultural
products.
We are Losing Millions of Dollars
Annually.
The floods in these mountain-born
streams, if this forest destruction
continues, will increase in frequency
and violence, and in the extent of their
damages, both within this region and
across the bordering States. The ex-
tent of these damages, like those from
the washing of the mountain fields
and roads, can not be estimated with
perfect accuracy, but during the pres
ent year alone the total has approxi-
mated $10,000,000, a sum sufficient to
purchase the entire area recommended
for the proposed reserve during the
past year the flood loss was probably
twenty million dollars). But this loss
can not be estimated in money value
alone. Its continuance means the
early destruction of conditions most
valuable to the nation, and which nei-
ther skill nor wealth can restore.
The preservation of the forests, of
the streams and of the agricultural
interests here described can be sue
cessfully accomplished only by the
purchase and creation of a National
Forest Reserve. The States of the
Southern Appalachian region own lit
tie or no land, and their revenues are
inadequate to carry out this plan.

A THOROUGHBRED TRAMP.
Saturday. October 2Sth There Will BE
Fun at The Academy of Music.

Those who fully understand the vir
tues of laughter will not dispute the
wisdom of the remarks made by Prof
William N. Guthrie in lecture at the
University of Chicago, when he declar-
ed that laughter and comedy may be
made to play an important part as
curative remedial agents, even to ths
point of protecting humanity from the
liquor habit.
Drinking is great time consuming
habit. and the man who would shake
it off usually finds that the reform
leaves him an undue amount of leis-
ure.
Prof. Guthrie's address contains a
hint for respondent persons. Let him
surround himself with the influence
which attend comedy and laughter.
Let him seek CHEEKY COMPREHENSIVE
or attend amusing entertainments.
Good fun and good cookery-the
one to occupy the depressed mans
mind, and the other to steady his
nerves-might be made to do a great
deal toward suppressing the LIQUOR
