To the People of Mississippi:
AS our people are brought to
a realization of the vast destruc-
ton of forests in our country,
accumulated as it now is by the
demands of War, the necessity
for r, f1restation and planting OF
shade trees, and doing this
Systematically is emphasized.
1t takes many years for tree to
reach maturity. Natures meth
DDS are slow. Forests require
several generations to attain full
growth. Man destroys them IL
A few years. Trees should be
replaced where practicable.
Aside from the Identification OF
the landscape and our highways
by the planting of shade ire .
they will be great asset lor
posterity.
The countries Of Europe for
many years have had a systema-
tic organization for restoring
their forests which years ago
were thoughtlessly and needless
Nv destroyed. Not only are trees
planted but those growing are
protected and guarded against
ravages by fire, insects, disease
and ruthless cutting by man.
Each state in the Union,
through its governor and foresty
department, is calling this mat
ter forcefully to the peoples at
tention and days are being Sc
apart for the planting of trees

Dumas Worked With suotlety, but
Was Satisfied That 1t Would Be

When Alexandra Dumas, the French

had regarded as his friend.
Everyone expected him to punish the
offender severely, but instead he began
looking upon him with more consider
alton and apparent friendliness than
he had ever shown before.
At length, three years later, when
the erstWhile friend was to be married,
the novelist was asked to serve as best
man, and did so. When the ceremony

send half an hour taking bones out OF

therefore, why not strcnuist, n who
sirens? The %strenuist is n who gets
up before any one else and starts in
doing a lot of unnecessary things real
hard, just to make dust fly. He bores
you to death telling you about it, so he

BRING BACK HOME MEMORIES
Many Reasons Why Snapshots Of
Familiar Spots Are Dearly Priced
by the Soldiers.

A piece of paper covered with black
and white understanding more.
But suppose those splotches have been
painted by sunlight shining through a
camera lens, and form q picture Of q
homestead, a familiar street or a
mothers snowy hair, and face lined
with the eloquent handwriting of the
years-what would a soldier rather
have from home than such souvenirs?
A snapshot Of the house and barn;
of the family sitting on the front
steps; of father spading up the gar
den of the old horse rubbing his nose
along the pasture gate; of the dog
wagging expectancy at the kitchen
door; of the bu0y sprawling in the
sand pile, or the older children squint-
ing at the camera with the sun in
their eyes-thcSe are the scraps of pa
per which defy time and distance, a
writer in the Boston Globe states.
They assure men amid scenes of vio-
lence and death that the peaceful,
sweet life they have left behind in or
der to defend still exists.
Now that the sweaters. stockings,
wristlets, helmets, jam. tobacco, choco-
late-and other creature comforts
have been sent of, and brains are be-
ing cudgled for something else to send
the boys at the front, do not disdain
the humble snapshot-the amateur
photograph that any n can take by
pressing q spring; the little peep of
homo faces and home scenes that can
be sent far overseas and taken out of
a pocket at odd moments-who knows
at how odd moments?-for a renewal
of faith and hope and memories Of
home.
