GREECE WITHOUT HER GROVES.


no longer question of sentiment It has be-
come one OF the most important demands of
this country's future upon the living genera
tions Of today. No better illustration of what
forest preservation means to people and
country be found upon earth than that
presented by the comparison of modern with
ancient Greece.
Upon the authority Of a man who spent
many years in Greece studying the works of
the ancient Greeks and the commercial indus
trial, and domestic life Of the modern sons Of
Hellas, it is declared that the appalling diff
ference between the people and the land Of
Pericles and the Greece Of the twentieth cen
fury is directly due to the destruction of those
mighty forests that once clothed the Grecian
hills with glory and lined the courses of her
long-forgotten rivers.
Out Of the songs of her poets and the tales
Of her dramatists we read that ancient Greece
was a pleasant land, Of great fertility, be-
decked with verdure-clad mountains, streams
that gushed forth crystal waters, and valleys
where flowers blossomed like many-hued stars
upon the green meadows. It was a land filed
with corn and honey; the vine, heavy with it's

and the fig and the orange and the pome-
granate ripened delicousIy in the wales or
lent their perfume to the fragrance Of the rose
gardens. The forests ran down from the
crests OF the mountains to where they bathed
their feet in the blue Aegean; in the shady
groves by purling waters, the shepherd bows
piped their lays to Pan, or poets unused on the
beauties of the wood nypmhs and philosophers
held solemn converse with the gods or wrested
from Nature her dearest secrets And the eli
mate was .balmy, the air sweet and soft, laden
with spicy odors from over Smyrna way, or
tender and palpitating with its burden of mois-
ture from the vapory, amethystine seas beyond
lonia's isles. Each day was like spring day

the mightiest, the most cultured, and the most
beautiful.
That was ancient Greece. Today the noun

blasted by wind and SUM- The rivers and the

giles for the precious metal all our nober
ideals are forgotten and trodden under foot.
We are fast developing set of money chang
ers who have no thought that does not per-
tain to wealth or the acquisition of wealth.
Opulent ''avaricious America where are
your great poets, philosophers and litterateurs?
You have made everything subordinate to the
accumulation Of riches, and have forgotten
that a mans wealth consistent not in the
abundance Of the things which he possesseth,
but in what he has achieved in moral, intellec-
tual and fraternal advancement. This idol
which the fnanciers have set up and which
"all America worshippeth," which has more
victims than Moloch, and more votaries than
Venus, must be overthrow before rational
financial system can be framed The universal
superstition that pervades the human mind,
that there is some unusual or supreme virtue
in this dead metal is akin to the worship which
the African savage shows for his amulet It
is degrading and challenge to the culture
and civilization Of the twentieth century. To
have the prosperity and happiness Of the peo-
pie of all nations dependent upon the supply
Of this metal, to so mani pulate it that the
financial disturbances are of constant occur
renee, bringing in their train long list of
suicides, bankruptcies and general impoverish-
ment, is nothing less than criminal.
Abraham Lincoln said on one occasion that
''brave, patriotic men are better than gold"
but we have reversed the dictum Of the mar
tyred President and placed gold above human
ity, above fraternity virtue, sympathy and
truth. The great emancipation struck the
shackles from four million Of slaves and de-
clared to the civilized world that that great
wrong should no longer be tolerated in this
country. The greatest President since Lin
coin is now engaged in Gberating eighty mil
lions from the extortions Of the Trusts, and
while this is being done it will soon be recog-
nized that back of these vast industrial COM
binations stands the greatest trust Of all, VIZ,
The National Banking Trust. These great ma
tional banks control nearly all the railroads
and large manufacturing plants in the couD'
try, and the people must soon decide whether
the control Of their industrial and railway
systems shall be vested in the banks or in the
National Government. We are optimistic as
to the result. A new era has dawned. The
spirit of inquiry is abroad. Men are thinking
as they never thought before. They are think
ing of the bountiful crops with which we are
blessed and of our vast resources upon which
we can sustain population greatly in excess
Of what we have. They wonder why these
things that are produced in such abundance
are so badly needed by vast majority Of

THOMAS JEFFERsON's ADVICE TO A
GRANDSON.
GRANDSON.

Tallahassee, Fla, we are indebted for copy
Of some lines Of "good counsel' written by
her illustrious ancestor for the benefit of
favorite grandson.
She says, by way of preface:
Francis Eppes was the son Of Thomas JEFF
ferson's youngest daughter Maria. She died
April II, 1904, and from that time until Mr.
Jefferson's death in 1926 Francis was the
object of his tenderest care In a leather
bound blank book presented by H. B. Trist to
Francis Eppes, June 9, 1920, evidently intend
ed and used as an autograph album, the fol
lowing lines were written by Thomas Jeffer-
son; and so far as I can learn they have never
before appeared in print:
Pursue the interests Of your country. the
interests of your friends, your own interests
also, with the purest integrity, the most chaste
honor. The defect Of these virtues can never
be made up by all the other requirements of
body and mind Make these then your first
object, give up money, give up fame, give up
science, give up the earth itself and all it
contains, rather than do an immoral act and
never suppose that in any possible situation,
Or under any circumstances, it is best for you
to do a dishonorable thing, however slightly
so it may appear to you. Whenever you are to do
thing, though it can never be known but to
yourself, ask yourself how you would act were
all the world looking at you and act accord
ingly. Encourage all your virtuous DISPOSE
tons and exercise them whenever an oppor-
tunity arises; being assured that they will
gain strength by exercise, limb Of the
body does and that exercise will make them
habitual. From the practice Of the purest vir-
tue, you may be assured you will derive the
most sublime comforts in every moment of
life and in the moment of death. If ever YOU
find yourself environed with difficulties and
perplexing circumstances, out Of which you are
at loss how to extricate yourself, do what
is right, and be assured that that will extri-
cate you the best out of the worst situations.
Though you cannot see, when you take one
step, what will be the next, yet follow truth,
justice, and plain dealing and never fear their
leading you out Of the labyrinth, in the easiest
manner possible The knot which you thought
a Gordian one will unite itself before you.
Nothing is SO mistaken as the supposition that
a person is to extricate himself from a diff
Guilty by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimula-
ton, by trimming, by an untruth, by an in

fold, and those who pursue these methods get
themselves so involved at length, that they
can turn no way but their inPamy becomes

KEY BRACELET MUCH LIKED.
Is One OF the Most Pronounced Fads
Of the Season.

One OF the small fads OF the season
is the key bracelet. which is both use
ful and ornamental and whose orig
inality promises 10 make 1t a uni
versal success among women. The
bracelet Is made to resemble a three
strand bracelet The two outer
strands are close and heavy. The In
ner, or middle. strand is a chain. This
chain, which fits as neatly into the
two outer strands as II il were woven
solidly with them. has attached to one
end a small golden key. The golden
key fits neatly into a frame on the
back Of the bracelet. and since it
fastens down with a spring seems 10
be merely a part OF the ornamentation
Of the bracelet But by pressing
spring the key is released and the
chain also freed at one end. so that
the key may be used The idea of the
bracelet Is that a woman may have all
her belongings under lock. said lock to
be opened only by the master key.
which is the little golden ornament.
OF course the invention has the disad-
vantage of necessitating the placing
OF new locks upon all the treasure
places of the persons who own such
master keys. But then the expense
OF this would be worthy of considera-
ton TO a woman who would buy such
bracelet A more important con-
sideration. OF couTre. might be the
fact that. after all. one key may be
duplicated more readily than 20. and
the owner therefore runs perhaps a
greater chance OF being robbed of all
her treasures II robber once gets

one that 1t is hardly probable women

Dublin.-Certain villages in Ireland
are ringing with the story Of a wild
man who lives in the woods and eats
berries. roots. fish and small quadru-
peds, just like a prehistoric savage.
He has silvery locks. long. snow
white beard. He dresses in garments
cid. scanty. tattered and torn. Il is
said he has never had a home-that
the whole or his wretched three score
and ten years. or whereabouts. have
been spent in the open air-and that
as far as is known he has no name.
The story told Of him by the peasantry
Is that he was dumped on a desolate
Irish moor when a little child by a
loathsome. vagabond mother OF. ter

ton. and that alone ne has wandered
ever since. fleeing from his fellowmen
as though some wild. timid creature
of the night. and making his home in
the densest woods and on the most
lonesome commons and wastes.
IL is said. though doubtless no one
knows for certain. that the man can
not talk plainly and that his vocabu-
larry is limited to but score Of words
or so. In the more poverty-stricken
and desolate districts In the Emerald
Isle the man is familiar TO most OF
