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 1t was when you were born,
and everyone of the veterans an
plauded loudly. "And it will be bet
ter when you have passed to the be
yond," he continued. For a few min
utes the audience did not know just
how to take the remark, but finally
they decided to give the speaker tnt
benefit Of the doubt and applauoet
with spirit.

Too Much For Human Belief

He was much pleased with the place,
but was quite bored by his host, who
would eulogize everything that was
brought to the table. "Try some Of
this" he would say, 1T is some Of my
own raising" or this is some Of our
own milk. and that lettuce is from
the cold-frame you saw" or these peas
are from vines I planted just four
weeks ago today" All of this was
endured quite patiently until the host
remarked, Nov try some Of this
chicken, I raised It myself"

said the visitor. "You've only .been

est mountain masses east of the
Rockies. 1t is the great physiographlc
feature of the eastern half of the con-

Upon these mountains descends the
heaviest rainfall Of the United States,
except that of the North Pacific Coast.
It is often of extreme violence, as
much as inches having fallen IN
eleven hours, 81 inches in one month
and 105 inches In year.
Vast Waste Of Farm Soil.
The soil, once denuded Of its for

rapidly loses first it's humus, then its
rich upper strata, and finally is wash

streams, to bury such Of the fertile
lowlands as are not eroded by the
floods, to obstruct the rivers, and tC
fill ND the harbors on the coast. More
good soil is now washed from these
cleared mountain-side fields during q
single heavy rain than during centu
ries under forest cover.
The rivers which originate in the
Southern Appalachian flow into OF
