It is put on the mere material basis of food, shelter and clothing.
 And yet we are allowing our forests t., be slaughtered by their owners with out limit or stint. Trees that have been hundreds of years growing we allow to be cut as unrestrainedly as if they were as easily grown as potatoes.
 Other nations have laws covering the matter.
 They require forests to be cut only after the officers of the law give con sent. When tree is cut one or more trees must be planted. Germany has Is, ,Ooo, ,oOo acres of reforested govern. ment lands that are paying.

WE HAVE THE WOOD SENSE OF
 CHINA

hard headed business man was dis cussing with friend the life business of their sons. He was a retail lumber merchant. He had read nothing about conservation of national resources. '' or any of the recent literature of the conservation movement.
 But he had studied the lumber bus mess. He was in it. He had seen the changes in it in ten years.
 Nc" said he. 1T shall not bring my boys up in the lumber business. D
 "Why7" asked his friend? ''You we made good money at it.
 Yes" said the lumberman, "I've done pretty well. But figure that BY THE TIME MY BOYS ARE FORTY YEARS OLD THERE IL BE NO LuM- BIER BUSINESS IN THIS coUN. TRY"
 Do you get the meaning of that?
 If there is no lumber business in this country within the lifetime of the boys now living it will be because the forests are gone and we shall be living in a treeless country.
 The day of cheap dwellings for the poor man will be thing of the past. So will cheap lumber for furniture. The factories using wood, except on the wat erways leading to the sea, will be closed down. Population engaged in occupa- tions depending on wood will shift to locations where timber may be had. The very existence of great cities in the treeless interior of the country may be regarded as of doubtful possibility. Great industrial communities have never existed in prosperity under such condi- tions. How any people can be prosper ous without wood is yet an unsolved question.
 All this is said without reference to the ruin that comes to land by the de- forestation of it's highland regions, or the blow to the beauty and habitability of the country, or of any of the other strong reasons for forestry development.

THE SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL
 CONGRESS

It is good news to learn that the Southern Commercial Congress, which was organized at convention of south ern industrial and commercial interests at a meeting recently held in Washing, ton, is now practically insured as a permanent organization. It was at the meeting mentioned that the work of or ganization was begun. That was only a start, and the impetus given by that meeting seems to have permeated the entire south and aroused merchants and manufacturers throughout the region in to new life.
 From every southern state, practical. ly, have come prominent men consent ing to act as vice presidents of the per manent organization, and these men have undertaken the work of enlisting the cooperation of the leading conner ciai bodies throughout the south.
 One of the practical points to which the organization is working is the es. tablishing in Washington of perma. nent exposition where shall be displayed the examples of the industrial, agricul- tural, mineral, and other resources in the south. For the enterprising business men of the south see that the establish ment of such a permanent exposition at the national capital would take the place, very largely, of local expositions and would be the means of establish ing valuable bureau of information concerning every section and industry of the south. It is plain that the whole scheme is yet in its infancy, but broadly speaking it simply involves perma- nentiy established exposition in which the whole south is to unite.
 Of course if such a permanent expo sition in Washington is to be successful it will be because of the aroused energy of the business men of the south. It cannot be hoped that the southern states will appropriate from their public treas uries the necessary money for the es- tablishment of such project, but the money must come, as it should, from those who will derive the greatest bene- fit from it-from the merchants, manu- facturers, mine owners, land owners, ard above all, the railroads. If the same energetic spirit which has character ized the early part of this movement continues, there can be no doubt that the proposed exhibition will in time be established. It will be notable addi- tion to the United States Capital, and at the same time cannot fail to be an enormous factor in the future develop ment of the southern states.

CONSOLATION FOR THE HOMELY po you rnow that upliness can he

CONSOLATION FOR THE HoMELY
 Do you know that ugliness can be prevented or cured2
 Well, it can be.
 In most cases ugliness is one's own fault.
 Homeliness is not hereditary. It is self made. The most irregular features may be beautifed by a show of kindly expression.
 On the other hand, the most perfect ly- formed face may be marred and ren dered repulsive by the scowl of greed vindictiveness, envy.
 One of the most beautiful women of the Paris salons is horribly pock marked.
 The snub nose and simian mask of Socrates strike no one as ugly, because of the intellect that shows in every line Do not the French talk of "Jolie laide "a woman of fascinating plain ness?
 Similarly. we must mark of as ex. cused from the charge of being ugly those from whose faces shine benevo- lence and pleasant peace.
 Ones face is one's own fault.
 One can transform 1t, if not to beau. ty, at least to attractiveness, by seeing to it that nothing shows in it that is not lovable.
 ones thoughts, if noble and kind, will in time mold the lineaments of the outer man or woman and make them kind and noble, too.
 Conversely, grabbing habits, greedy ways, self -indulgent living, are respon. sible for depressing noses, unpleasant eyes, muddy complexions and repellent lips.
 Mere physical beauty has been vastly overrated by the artists and poets ever since art and poetry were born.
 Mere symmetry of lineaments, never since the world began, won true love or commanded true respect Pleasing to look at, but the human heart hungers for more than pretty visions
 The man who loves his sweetheart or wife, solely because of the symmetry of her form and features, and without sounding the depths within, does not know what real love is.
 Who thinks of selecting one's friends because of their straight noses7 More than that--far more than any outer fea- ture--is necessary to friendship worthy of the name.
 Who does not love dear old mother, despite perhaps wart on her nose and wrinkles in her cheeks7 A lifelong de- votion generates spirit of beauty that no physical deformity can shut in.
 Beauty of face and form is gift of the gods. But the beauty of charac- ter which eliminates and makes lovely the homely face is richer gift still, coming from one true God
