WOOD AND WATER The forest
question involves the two great ques
tions of wood and water. Wood is a
prime necessity. Our population
is rapidly increasing, while our wood
supply Is more rapidly diminishing.
We are consuming wood three or four
times as fast as our forests are pro.
ducing it. Unless radical changes
are soon made in American methods
of forestry, a wood famine will as.
uredly ensue. Forest cover on hill
tops and mountains is Indispensable
in holding back rain water, and main
tanning equable stream flow. De.
nuded hillsides mean an alienation
Of destructive floods a droughts.

mission has established a free
travelling library at John jack
sons confectionery. 1t consists
of forty-eight books of history,
romance, story books for the
young, books of instruction and
other varieties, all by the best
of well known authors. The
best authorities are now agreed
that the love and reading of good
books produce better results than
any of the. definite knowledge
that teachers can instill into
their pupils minds. James Rus
sell Lowell says: "The opening
of a free public library is a most
important event in the history Of
any town. A college training is
an excellent thing; but after all
the better part of a mans edu-
cation is that which he gives
himself, and it is for this that a
good library should furnish the
opportunity and the means" All
you have to do in order to take
advantage of this oportunity is
to write your name on a card and
pick out your book.
