STATE GIVING
SEEDLINGS AWAY
S,80O,O0O to Be Used in Refores-
tering Operations in Penn
sylvania

Spring planting plans for the Penn
sylvRnia State forests, allotttng $780,
900 forest tree seedlings for this years
reforesting operations, have been ap-
proved By Commissioner OF Forestry
Robert S, Conklin. In addition to
these trees for the State forests. about
l.750,o00 will be distributed free of
charge to private individuals and cor
poratons interested in reforesting. AL
most 400, 600 OF these trees viii be
used by water companies In reforest-
inG barren watersheds upon which
boroughs and cities depend for their
water supply.
This number. although probably
greater than that to he planted by
any other State in the Union, is almost
100000 under the record set by
PENNSYLVANIA last year. The reasons
are shorta~e of labor and shrinkage
of the lauor appropriation OF the De-
partment OF Forestry to almost raicro-
scoptc size. Many OF the foresters who
planted large areas last year report
no labor available, and others report
that munitions works have advanced
point that the departments slender
balance will not allow It to compete
In hiring men.
Following Is the allotment of trees
by counties: Centre, S65.ss5; Potter,
TSs,ss5; T:oga, 100000; Clearheld.
S5t,oo9: Cameron, "a, 400; Clinton,
100000; Union, $4,000; Huntingdon,
s,000; Franklin, $4,000; Adams,
$4,000; Lycoming, 14,s0o; Bedford.
5000; Perry, $4,000; Elk, $1,000;
Cumberland, $4,000; Monroe. 1920;
total. s,77s,+lO.
This number Is made UP of the fol-
lowing species: White pine. 1,709.-
GEO; Scotch pine. 100000; pitch pine,
Az, 400: Norway Spruce SsO.Ol0.
European lnrch. 9S,ST5; Japanese
larch. $500; whito ash, 1905; willow
cuttings, $4,000; Douglas fir $500;
miscellaneous, 1000. Most Of the trees
arc two years old. and from six to
eighteen inches high. They will be
planted four or Ave feet apart each
way, and Will cover an area OF about
1850 acres.
This years planting will bring the
total reforested area In Pennsylvania
up to about 5000 acres, and the total
number OF trees planted to about as
100000. II the amounts asked for In
the departments budget are granted,
retoresting operations will be conduct
ed on much larger ccale during the
next two years. Tho capacity OF the
State Rorest nurseries Is over 10, 000,-
900 trees a year now, and It can be
doubled in q few years. The Clearfield
nursery alone will ship almost 2,O00,-
900 trees this spring. The department
has in operation four nurseries with
capacities of 100000 to 100000
trees a year each, and twenty-five
smaller nurseries. Little additional ef-
fort would be required to increase the
annual output to 20,000,00H trees.

Another organization that gives
promise of enhancing Harrisburg's
commercial Importance by improving
the efficiency of all who sell. is the
Salesmanship Club of Harrisburg. The
method is similar to the chautauqua
system, lecturers of national promi-
nence are arranged for by the Worlds
Salesmanship Congress. This congress
was founded at Detroit last year, Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson delivering the
opening address and indorsing the
movement. The purpose of the sales

planning the attack for several weeks
and had left nothing to chance.
Everything was provided for and the
chiefs under him had nothing to do
but follow instructions to the letter.
French Sweep Forward
AS soon as the result of the battle
between scissors and Rheims was
known the order was given to attack
Punctually at 4:45 the French infantry
went over" well supported by a pow
erful mass of artillery. They swept
/, forward in magnificent style and III
two hours the first line system had
been captured. Later news came
that the French soldiers were carrying
all before them and taking prisoners
by the score.
From their new positions the French
now look down upon Moronvilliers
and Nauroy. This Moronvilliers chain
of hills was regarded by all French
soldiers who had ever been in the Sec
tion rs virtually impregnable and its
capture caused the liveliest satisfac-
ton to everybody. The 75's followed
up the infantry rapidly and were soon
in action. They caught large bodies
of the enemy massing with the object
of making diversion and decimated
them. According to onlookers such car
mage had not been seen since the ac-
tion of Charme Gap at the beginning
of the war.
Make Good Progress
On the right wing the struggle was
equally to the advantage of the
French. Auberive, on which the left
wing of the Champagne offensive of
1915 broke, fell speedily as we'll as all
the surrounding works. The French
made especially good progress north
of Auberive. In the section east of
Vaudesincourt, hill 112 was stormed,
as well as small wood east of the
hill which was a regular nest of Ger
man machine guns.
At certain points the advance was
close upon four miles in depth. The
latest news reaching Paris says the
battle continued we'll into the night,
the Germans counter attacking with
out success and the French recon-
structing the trench systems under
the cover of their artillery.
German Plans Fall
According to information from q
reliable source the double offensive of
the British north of Arras and of the
French on the Aisne disarranged the
German plans. Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, 1t is declared, was pre-
pairing an offensive against Riga and
another against Italy, while on sthe
western front he was considering an
attempt on Calais on the one hand
and on Paris on the other. The allied
western offensive spoiled all this by
obliging him to bring back a large
part of the effects intended for the
Russian and Italian fronts.
The Germans made three desperate
counter attacks in the Champagne last
night. They were checked by the
French who inflicted heavy losses on
the attacking troops. Since Monday
the French have captured upward of
$4,000 unwounded Germans In the
Champagne large numbers of machine
guns and trench mortars have been
captured and also 12 cannon, includ-
ing three of large caliber.

community of interest between sales
managers and salesmen, as we'll as,
at the same time. affording aggressive
workers in clerical lines the oppor-
tunity of mingling with men and
women of large incomes in the selling
field. This broad policy brings am
bilious young men and women directly
under the inspiration of successful
older men and puts salesmanagers in
touch with worth while material for
their salesforces. and has insured the
growth of salesmanship clubs through
the elimination of exclusiveness. A
number of Harrisburg business con-
Germs have thought so we'll of the
movement that upon their suggestion
the entire Salesforces have become af-
filiated with the local club and take
an active interest in the meetings. 1t

ART EXHIBIT AT } EAST. ST. SCHOOL
Parents and Teachers AsSoCia.
 tion Plans Three Day Show

! Recognizing the educational ad-
 vantages to be derived from oppor- tunties to see good art, the East 1 Street School Parents and Teachers association has arranged with the
 I1lson Art Publishing company or l Belmont, Massa chusetts, for an ex- 1 hbjtion of two hundred pictures to
 be given in the school on February l 2S, March 1 and ?. The exhibit will i be open from 3:30 to o'clock and 1 from : to g o'clock each afternoon l and evening.
 l This collection, consisting in large 1 part of carbon photographs photo- gravures and prints in full color made directly from the original master l pieces, is selected by art experts and l should attract many visitors. A small l admission fee will be charged, the en- tire proceeds of which, after deduct l ing the expenses of exhibit. will be used in the purchase of pictures for wall decorations in the school The purpose of the exhibition is thus clearly twofold: first: To give peo- 1 pie an opportunity to see collection ] of the worlds famous masterpieces of
 
 Second: To make it possible for the l public to own few of these in our l schools. This exhibition should in- terest the public because, through out the country, people are awaken l Ing to the importance and value of good art as creative of refining in- 1 huence and inspiring atmosphere 1 and just as surely as people become ! familiar with the best in art, just so l quickly will the crude in art be dis
 placed through appreciation of some I thlns better It is, of course, idle l to suppose that one shall become a
 competent judge of art simply through 1 studying for a time photographs of 1 prints. But what can and should be optalned is large measure of ap- l preclat1On. A work of art which is l really great will bear reproduction, l and even though this may not pos-
 sess the pleasure-givins power of the original in a gallery three thousand 1 miles away, that measure of power which it does possess is we'll worth
 taking
 1 One of the leading art critics has l said: You must look at pictures
 studiously, earnestly. honestly. It will
 take years before, you can come to a l full appreciation of 1t, but when at last you have, you will be possessed of one of the purest, loftiest. and most ennobling pleasures that the world ] can afford.'
 This collection has been made bv l experts. Every artist who knows l how to draw at all has something to give of pleasure and profit, but the greatest even have the most and best 1 to give. These pictures are of inter- est to both young. and old, and they are expected to attract and instruct large numbers of people,
 Similar exhibits have been ba,d in other schools and have nrovad successful, particularly at the Stan ley school. Permission has been re-
 gently given by the school board to conduct this exhibit and members of
 that organization have been invited to
