the forest service, while the original
forests covered at least S5O.OO0.0O0

owned are generally more valuable
than those Of the government, but are
far less carefully managed.

Eiia Business Ability

In the Adirondacks lives man too
lazy to work, but evidently Of great
business ability. One winter when he
was sitting around smoking his family
came so near starvation that some Of
his neighbors, who could ill afford to
help him, took up Il collection and
bought for the suffering family bar
rel Of flour. a barrel Of pork and a
load Of wood. They were not consid-
crate enough to cut the wood, but the
business man knew how to manage.
He hired some of the neighbors who
had not contributed to his donation to
cut the wood and paid them with half
the pork and half the flour.-Lippin-

Oyeinu Real FLOWERS

EVERY once In awhile some florist
gets busy and puts some odd colored
blossoms in his window as an extra
attraction to the display" said a club
man. 81 just noticed one down the
street. 1t consisted of bunch Of i'm
possibly green carnations. At first
glance good many people thought
they were made of paper, but they got
interested when they found out that
they We're natural Now, anybody
who wants to have any of these freak
flowers can get them by buying some
kind Of aniline ink, any color desired.
Carnations are the easiest to color
white ones, Of course Put their stems
in glass filled with ink. Their stems
are soft, and In q short while IT,
larger veins in their petals are filled
with the ink. Don't let them absorb
too much color. They are prettier
with just SO much. Then remove
them and put them in vase of salt
water. Lilies of the valley lend them
selves to this scheme also. In fact,
any white, soft stemmed flower may
be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Record
