Forestry IN Japan.

Japan has longer than any other

With extraordinary skill and absolute
success the authorities have for 1900
years planted and cared for the forest
trees. "The results" writes a CORE

have been really wonderful, for
through the extremely sedulous man.
agement and the knowledge and skill
by degrees attained the financial gains
have been very large, indeed. Not
twig Is ever wasted. The trees are re-
garded as almost sacred property, and
not particle of any one of them is
regarded as rubbish, so close is the
utilization. Thinning and all depart
ments of arboreal culture are very
carefully conducted. At the end of
10 years from planting a wood lot is
thinned by experts, and then every
five years the process is repeated for
100 years, the average period of the
cultivation of set Of trees.

QUILLBACK BUYS A NEW CLOCK.
Then He Shows False Economy OF
Keeping Old One Too Long.

"At last" said Mr.. Quillback, I'VE
have bought new clock, and good.
ness knows we needed it.
THE old clock was a small, round,
nickelplated timekeeper we had had
for some years, and in the course Of
time 1t began to show signs of wear.
But we hated to go to the expense Of
a new clock as long as we could make
that one do, so we kept it, shaking her
up most every day for something like
a year until finally 1t got to be so tire.
some that we mustered up courage
and bought new clock.
And then | did little figuring. In
the course Of year had spent an
average of five minutes a day shaking
up that old clock on, say, 300 days,
making, to save the cost of new
clock, gross total of time spent
amounting to 1900 minutes. You di.
vide this by 60 and you find that / had
spent in shaking up that blessed old
clock little more than Is hours!
Now, in the way Of income, you
know don't pretend to class up with
the Re- efellers and Carnegies and
that sort of folks, but figuring my
earni@g capacity on the modest basis
of SO c2nts an hour find that l have
spent I shaking up that miserable old
tick time to the value Of $3.50! And
the ew clock cost only 60 cents!
# course, buying the new clock
On we did instead Of year sooner,
We saved the wear on it in that
l9riod, ard if we count the life OF
such a clock at say ten years we find
that we have thus saved about seven
cents worth of wear on the new clock,
and this, properly, of course, should be
deducted from the $3.50, but even at
that, in the best showing possible we
find that to save 60 cents we have met
with a net loss of S1243, to say moth.
ing Of the wear and tear on us caused
by the aggravation Of having to shake
the old clock up every day and make
1t go!
I'VE had been, as in so many ways
we are prone to be, penny wise and
pound foolish, but we are learning
wisdom and we haven't got to shake
the old clock up any more, anyway

immense Normandy Apple Crop.

This year will go down to posterity
in Normandy as the apple year. Never
until this year has Normandy farmer
been known to express satisfaction
with his crop. His usual answer about
it is that "for year where there are
no apples there are apples, but for a
year where there are apples there are
no apples to speak Of" This vague
ness is a Norman popularity. You
cannot get a yes" or mo" in answer

LINCOLN DAY A Big
ONE AT FORT DODGE

OF all the ceremonies rendered from
hamlet to city throughout The length and
breadth of the United States in honor to
the memory of that illustrious, sad
faced human emancipation, Abraham
Lincoln, perhaps none in al Amer
lca excelled those at the Kansas State
soldiers Home.
The day was suspicious, the sun rose
to clear sky and found the Home pro-
fnsely decorated with flags and bunting,
rejecting the spirit Of liberty and union
tha pervaded the hearts of the Old
Veterans of that Grand Old Union army,
that sprang to the call of "Father
Abraham, to suppress secession In these
United States, and to see marching
squad of these patriotic children march
ing from headquarters to the hospital
and homes of the sick, the feeble, and
helpless, and leaving In their hands or BY
their bed side flag and flowers was q
sight that brought ttars that coursed
down the cheeks of those whose faces
were once backened with powder.
Flags and Flowers. Oh what a
sentiment and how the memory of these
veterans b rked back TO thousand
battleaelis where they had taken part
10 one or the other, where there were
no gentle hands to give flowers to the
wounded or place them by the side OF
the dying, and the dead soldiers flag
was stained with his own blood. Flags
and flowers, no better tribute could
have been paid to the memory of
Abraham Lincoln than was paid by these
children, when they visited the bedside
Of the veteran soldier, now about to
answer his last roll call. He that had
answered Mr.. Lincoln's call for help to
save the union OF our forefathers. And
when this m arching column of little boys
and girls formed hollow square around
the flag staff, then looking skyward up
to Old Glory and sand the 'Star Spangled
Banner", with their little hearts In the
music, the writer was made to feel that
bis country was invincible.
AT 1900 o'clock noon, just as the old
couples aud cripples had seated them
selves at the bounteous dining tables,
these boys and girls marched In and
placed the flag of the "Betsy Ross"
design on each table, fifteen In all and
eight persons to the table, after which
they sang that beautiful and inspiring
song, "America
At 200 p. m. our drum corps revived
the memories of the days we marched to
Lincoln's call, to the tune IF, "The Girl
| Left Behind Me-. And, as we wendell
our way to the Entertainment Hall,
echoes Of the past fitted before our
vision as we recalled the days, weeks,
months and years that Abraham Lincoln,
the man Of many sorrowf, carried in his
big heart our burdens. while we carried
on our banners Union, one and inseparabIe.
