then every five years after that up to the time of the final harvest, at 120 years.
 It was with the opening up of the hitherto inaccessible mountain for ests that the Japanese government became most intensely interested in forestry. The mountains were still government land. so all that was ne- cessary to protect them was to place proper restrictions on the sale and cutting of timber. This was affected by declaring the forests on the steep slopes as reserved forests, in which the only cutting should be done un- der government direction. The for ests on agricultural lands, not need available forests, and here the cut ting is not so carefully restricted.
 Thus Japan has effectually pre- vented the stripping of her mountain slopes before any great damage has been done. In some districts, where the mountains are near the towns. the steep slopes have already been cleared, and this has resulted in floods and the washing down of the soil from the slopes on to the farm lands. But these cases have been exceptional. and have merely served as a warning. which Japan has heed ed before 1t was too late to prevent widespread destruction.

FORESTRY IN JAPAN
Government Controls the Timber
 Land in That Country.

Just at the time when this coun- try is beginning to struggle with the problem of husbanding it's forest re- sources, of protecting its mountain slopes, and of improving the water ways, it is interesting to know that the Japanese have successfully at tackled the same problem. before the land suffered severely from the evil effects following deforestation. The farsighted people of Nippon have foreseen the results of the destruc- tion of their extensive mountain forests. and have safegarded them. selves by placing all of these under government control.
 The practice of forestry has been carried on in Japan for longer time than in any other country. For l 200 years the people of Japan have been planting and growing forests, with a success that has been little short of marvellous. Under careful management. the Japanese forests yield very high financial returns. This high yield is only made possible by the close utilization of every bit of the tree so that scarcely twig Is wasted, and by the improvement of the growth of their forests by carefully conducted thinning and tending The woods are first thin ned at the age of thirteen years. and

Other Contests Being Settled.

Osher Contests Being Settled.
 While the fight for the presidency is attracting the greatest amount of at tention here and elsewhere, it is by no means the only issue of importance to- day. A new house of representatives, the lower branch of the Sixty first con- gress. is being elected. In twenty eight states governors are being balloted for, and some of the states will choose leg lslatures which will elect United States senators. The terms of thirty-one sen ators-eighteen Republicans and thir- teen Democrats-will expire on March l. Among them are Platt of New York. Stone of Missouri Shoot of Utah, Stephenson of Wisconsin and Perkins If California. In twenty-three states a ,tal of ninety proposed constitutional Amendments. laws. questions or propo- sitions nre being voted upon. This does not include Michigan, where a revision of the present constitution has been submitted to the electors for adoption or rejection. Of general interest in this connection is the vote in South Dakota on the question of repeating the "one rear residence net passed by the last legislature fn order to stop rapid d. yerces.
 The number of tickets in the states varies from one to six Only the Dem oerats have tickets in the field in South Carolina and Louisiana, while in Ohio the voters have the privilege of choos- ing among seven sets of candidates for the state offices. An interesting feature of the 1eQntest in Utah is the presence q ths so sslled rAnsEi0a psrty 2 op-

the ancient axiom. AS goes New York so goes the Union." Time has confirmed their diagnosis of the situa- tion. All eyes today are on the Elm pire State. The managers, of both parties claim It's thirty-nine electoral votes, and all declare they see victory for their respective state candidates The voting is being done rapidly up the state, some of the districts having already reported the polling of their full votes. The city moves in more deliberate manner, however, and the streets are filled with animated, busy groups of party workers. In great majority of the polling places the vot- ing is slow, indicating according to ex- perienced politicians. much scratch. ing" or voting of split tickets.

gown than TO see IL yellowlng while
II Is stlll wearable. The women who
do not cut their wedding dresses up

reverent sentiment 20 the end OF their
lives, are always on the lookout for
something 20 prevent them turning a
deep tawDy yellow. The best pre-
ventive Of this Is to pack the gown
away I'm muslin sheets that have been

deep indigo. Ordinary blue muslin can
be substituted II preferred. Stun all
the folds with blue instead OF white
