IT mean that we shall show the Coreans
that we are their friends by the develop
ment of their country. AS II is now. the
woods rave been cut from the mountains
and many of the peaks are as bare as a
desert. This makes it impossible to con-
serve the rainfall, and we have not the
water needed for irrigation. one OF our
first works will be along the lines Of re-
forestation. We are planting trees In
many places and have laid out model for
ests near Seoul. Ping Yang and Taiku.
These forests cover thousands OF acres and
have cost several hundred thousand yen.
We find the trees grow well and hope in
time to have the mountains again covered
with verdure.

OF things in Japan, and some which We

This is especially so as to cotton. We
are experimenting with that at half a dozen
different places in southern Corea. We

American upland. So far the native seed

raise all the cotton we need here and have

Keith's Boston Theatre.

The most important vaudeville an
nouncement comes from Keith'S
Theatre this week, the return of Me-
Intyre and Heath, after number of
years starring in "The Ham Tree"
There has probably never been two
men who have won wider popularity
in vaudeville than these two black
face comedians and their Georgia
Minstrels" has truly become classic.
Before they went on the legitimate
stage the the annual visits Of Mcintyre
and Heath to Keith's Theatre were of
the same nature as the return of "Ths
Old Homestead" "Way Down East"
and such plays in other houses.
Thousands of people have seen the
Georgia Minstrels," innumerabls
times and will continue to see them
as long as they are on the stage. Al
ter an absence of several years this
week will certainly be an eventful
one at Keith's.
