startino a Revolution,

(From the Philadelphia Tnquirer)
Congress has done considerable in
the way of conservation, but it has
merely scratched the surface. Some of
the states have begun to arouse them
selves. Thus Pennsylvania has en-
tered upon a system of forest preser-
walton and is adding steadily to the
public domains, which means the
growth OF trees and the preservation
of water sheds. Denude a water shed
OF trees and the result is floods in the
rivers in the spring and after heavy
rains and shallow streams during dry
spells. We are aiming to prevent that.
The whole subject is of tremendous
import, and 1t was to create such gen
eral interest as to lead to hearty CO.
operation between the nation and the
states that prompted the president to
cali into being this first great confer
ence. His success has been marked. OF
course, nothing else could be expected
further than to make start, and that
has been made. Probabilities will come
later, IL the various governors shall
grasp the situation and call upon their
legislatures for action.

Forestry in Great Britain.
(Boston Advertiser


The British government committee
which has been investigating the mat
ter of Irish forestry takes notable
cognizance of the waste of the for
ests in the United States, and as about
third Of the supply entering Great
Britain nearly $35,000,000 worth annu-
ally) comes from the United States
and Canada, there is a logical and inti-
mate interest in England in The Am
erican treatment of the American for
estry problem. 1t is pointed out by
this committee that the prices of some
varieties Of timber in England have
risen 80 to 40 per cent in the last
twenty years. also that the quality OF
the timber imported there is inferior to
what it was years ago, the natural and
correct inference from these facts be-
ing that tee timber producing coun-
tries are using up at home the best
of t!eir own product. All Of which
leads the committee to report in favor
Of Il British national scheme Of for
estry, as a profitable investment for
the state. Portions OF Ireland are looked
= upon as quite s'.ilable for ref ,res-
| tration. We trust the scheme will not
se found Unconstitutional"

as to be termed picturesque.
Is 1t not just as well that his boom
for the presidency died away before it
became necessary to step on it and
scotch it? Uncle Joe is figure of

can be constructed OF granite, but the

ished for public gaze. He has been
handed down to us as q rugged type

has no place in the enlightened, real

Hurrah for Illinois Hen.

1FTom the COII1eT'S WeeKIy.J
Our weakness for the hen is known.
Not unwillingly, therefore, do we
chronicle the fact that in Illinois this
fowl has achieved triumph. Recently
a Boston merchant sent to the western
state a rush order for a large quantity
of eggs. Within single week 10000
dozen eggs had been collected and the
consignment filled. This feat reflects
credit upon the Individual who filed
the order. and upon Woodford county,
but still more upon the fowl. This
humble creature, contenteelly clucking
thru uneventful life, throws cheerful
satire upon much of mans achieve
ment. Have all the inhabitants OF
Woodford county ever performed any
single deed which has had so direct an

so far to practice. Somehow these new
brass bands invariably select for their
practice room, one just block from
the hotel. It's warm weather now and
it's necessary to open the windows In
tn hotel bedroom. They commence
to practice about 8 p. m. The we'll reg
ulated travelling man goes to bed at
ten And from that time on. his
savage breast is soothed for several
hours. He cannot go to sleep for the
enjoyment of the music. He gets so
interested in that fellow that blows
the B-flat cornet. He strains his ear
to hear that particular strain for fear
he'll come out note or two behind
the others And when, after the lead
err has stopped the whole business six
or eight times in the first bar OF Yam
kee Doodle, SO that the B-flat man can
catch up, and finally by a superhu-
man effort he gets there only a length
behind, the travelling man feels like
going to the window, white robes and
