was also decided to have Gil. Miller
the landscape gardener, who recently
arriver in the city from Milwaukee,
Wis, prepare a pamphlet of instruc.

The matter of prizes was also dis
cussed, but the kind of PRIZES has as
yet not been decided on. However, it

in congress granting to the state 90.
0oo acres of government land lying in
the state ia be devoted to forestry
These lands have been chosen and
are now a part of the great forest
area The state law provides also
that the board Of forestry may pur-
chase lands for its purposes and un-
der this provision 10000 acres lying
chiefly n Villas county were recently
bought from the Yawkey-Bissell Lum-
Der company of Wausau. These lands
surround many of the beautiful lakes
IL that county and here is the source
Of the Chippewa river, that lord y
stream that flows across the state and
empties its waters into the Missis
sippi at the foot of Lake Pepin.
In all 100000 acres have already
been acquired by the state and the
work has just begun. Consulting the
map the reader will discover that
these lands cover the area where rise
the principal rivers of the state. Be
side the Chippewa there is the Wis
consin whose source is not far away
among the myriad of beautiful little
lakes, the st. Croix which for long
distance is the boundary line between
Wisconsin and Minnesota and the
Menominee river that marks far more
than a hundred miles the separation
Of the badger state from the north
ern peninsula OF Michigan. These
'ands, and those that viii be added
from time to time, are not valuable
for agricultural purposes but they
have in the past borne vast forests OF
timber which the lumbermen by the
wasteful processes of the cary days
have denuded of all that was best,
leaving the smaller growth to the
mercy of forest fires. And now il
is the purpose of the state to restore
the forests by a careful policy of pro-
lection, not only for the value O. the
timber that may be grown but to the
end that by reforestation the waters
which fall so bountifully in that sec,
ton, instead of running off with the
first food, doing vast damage to the
industries and peoples below, may be
held in the cool outrageous reeesses
to seep away slowly into the streams
and on to the rivers in a time OF
need.
The actual work OF reforestation
will proceed slowly and systematicaL
ly by planting where required bur
principally by protection from fire
the worst enemy OF the woodlands.
The thousands of pretty lakes on the
reserved lands viii be protected from
the destroying blight of that com
mercialism that would mar Their
beauty and devoted to that better
and more profitable commercialism
| that will bring to their COO waters
and their shaded shores the thousands
of people who annually seek -ecrea-
ton and rest in just such spots as
these.

OPPOSITION TO TROUSERS.
Wesrers. Many People Believed, Could
Not Be Religious.

Wesrerss Many People Believed, Could
Not Be Religious.
The modern custom of wearing
trousers was taken from the military
dress introduced into the army by
the duke of Wellington during the
Peninsuar war. says Chambers Jour
nal. =
In early days these were known as
Wellington trousers" after the duke.
When they were coming into general
use at the commencement Of the nine
teenth century the religious world
and the fashionable were most deter
mined in their opposition. A clause
in the original trust deed, dated 1920,
of Shefidle Nonconformist chapel pro-
yided that under no circumstances
whatever shall any preacher be al
lowed to occupy the pulpit who wears
trousers.
But this was not all. Some doubts
were expressed in many quarters con-
corning the question whether man
could be religious and appear in trous-
ers. One of the founders of the
primitive Methodist body remarked
to a colleague in the ministry that
trousers wearing, beer drinking, so
and-so will never get to heaven"
Father Reeee, a famous Methodist
minister, twice president of the con-
ference (born in 1865. died in 1s50),
could not be induced to adopt trous-
ers, and among the Methodists was
the last to follow popular fashion in
this respect.
