Great Demands for Pine SaplingS

So great has been the response to the
recent offer made by the state forest, fish
and game commission to sell to the public
100000 small trees at 81 a thousand,
that Commissioner Whipple has con-
contracted with German firm for a
million trees to supplement the states
supply, says The Press. Orders have
been received for 1, 100000 white pine
trees aud those who ordered them in
clude many prominent New York men.
The state has seed beds on which have
been grown over a million small trees.
This action has been taken to counterfeit
in part the devastation of the forests and
the destruction of timber groves in
various sections of the state. In 20
years it was estimated that if trees were
cut down to the extent that they have
been in the past 20 years the result
would be very serious for New York
state. With the state raising these
small trees and disposing of them at
cost to hundreds of private individuals
there is good chance that 20 years
hence there will be a good growth of
timber and the demands of those DAYS
will be answered in part.

NEEDLEW0RK NOTES.

A dainty corset bag can be made OF
white linen, with the top buttonholed
In rather large scallops. Below the
scallops work row Of long eyelets
and through these run white ribbon
In twisted cord and tassels The
initials or monogram should be en-
broidered In white about the center Of
the bag
Although it is almost impossible to
draw wool through the eye Of an or
binary needle. however large the lat
ter may be, the needle can sometimes
be threaded with fine wool If cotton
is used as ''decoy." Both ends Of a
piece of cotton should be passed
through the eye until only short
loop remains, the end Of the wool be-
ing then run through the loop and the
whole gently pulled through the eye of
the needle.
Magazine covers are made from
heavy linens and craftsman's canvas.
For the postcard albums the latter
fabric is preferred. Both materials
can be had in variety Of colors. and
an applique of cretonne is a popular
form Of decoration. Book covers in
a cool gray linen adorned with a spray
Of purple orchids cut from cretonne
are pretty, and so are those in terra
Gotta craftsman's canvas, displaying
a swastika cross cut from cretonne
In dull oriental colorings.
To make dainty powder bag get
piece Of thin Powered ribbon three
quarters of yard long and about six
inches wide. Cover a round disk about
the size of the top Of tumbler with
pink silk for the bottom Of the bag
and gather the ribbon to it and put a
drawstring at the top. Place 1t in the
powder puff. Next comes the clever
idea of gluing to the bottom of the
bag on the outside small round mir
ror Of exact size as the bottom of the
bag; then cover the edge Of the bag
with double rufie of narrow ribbon,
a narrow piece gathered through the
center. and the lower ruff1e will cover
the edge Of the glass, making a pretty
finish.

Educational Conference.

J. F. Smith of the faculty at St. Johns
bury Academy was one of the speakers
at the educational conference at Burling-
ton last week. The Free Press said OF
him:
The next paper was that of J. F.
Smith of st. Johnsbury. He described
the course in chemistry as he himself
gives it in his work at st. Johnsbury
Academy. and showed himself master
of the subject and thoroughly aware of
modern conditions and demands. The
course at st. Johnsbury is mostly guam
titative with taste Of qualitative work
interspersed. During the last week of
the year weeks review is given on the
qualitative work. In each two weeks
there are four successive chemistry per-
iods given to laboratory work.
