Reforest Bare HIIIsides.

The scarcity Of lumber for mine pill
lars and other mine uses has led to
the creation Of a forestry department
by several Of the large mining COM
panies, one Of which has just refor-
ested Bear creek watershed with 5000
white pine and 5000 Norway spruce
trees.
Thirty thousand more trees are in
process Of cultivation at Hauto, Pa,
in the Panther Creek valley. When
timber is ready to cut in the vicinity
of the mines troublesome waits and
long hauls will be eliminated.
More timber in the anthracite re-
gion would stop floods, add to the
water supply, reduce the drought Pc
RODS and enable the anthracite indus
try to add to Its output. Many thou
sands of acres are available about the
mines for reforestation.

ENGLISH Meat Cards.

Meat can be purchased in metropol-
titan districts in England only under
the card system, which is to be extend
ed throughout the United Kingdom.
The child's meat card is for children
under ten years Of age, who are enti-
tied to only half as much meat as
adults.
Horse meat, bones, suet and offal
are included among the products for
the purchase of which cards are neces-
sary. No one is exempt; even the roy
al family is on a meat-card basis. The
rightly of control may be judged from
the fact that forgery of cards is pun
ishable by heavy fine and that in case
of death, the card must be surrender
ed before a burial permit is granted.

DON'T FORGET TO WRITE TO THESE BOYS

Here is a list of the boys from this
end of the county who are helping to
snake the world safe for democracy"
At best their lives in training camp,
on shipboard and at the front will be
far from pleasant. There are bound
to be some mighty lonesome days
when it will be hard to swallow down
that homesick feeling; days when a
letter from "home," no matter who
the writer may be, will look like a
thousand dollars.
Pick out some name on the list-it
doesn't matter whether you know the
boy or not-and write letter today.
1t will do the lad lot of good and
will cost you only three cents and a
few minutes time.
We are going to print this list each
week. If you know the name and adj
dress of any Soldier" boy who has
been omitted, mail or telephone his
name to US.

INDIANS PLAYED
 FOOTBALL OVER
 A CENTURY AGO

Although Princeton and Rutgers played the first intercollegiate foot ball game in America in 1869, this contest marking the beginning of the development of new and original type of football out of the old Rugby game, the history of American foot ball commenced long before that-in fact, before the distinguished c. Co., lumbus first glimpsed the shores of this well known continent. The aboriginal football of the Indians was often played between teams of squaws and bucks, and such a contest, held at Wapekoneta in 1798 is described by Judge Burnet, a pioneer Ohio jurist, in his book Notes of the Northwest" He wrote:
 "At these games the men played against the women, and it was a rule that the former were not to touch the ball with their hands on penalty of forfeiting the purse, while the wom- en had the privilege of picking it up. running with it and throwing it as far as they could. When a squaw had the ball the men were allowed to catch and shake her, but they were not allowed to touch or remove it. If necessary, the men could throw the squaW holder of the ball on the | ground, but if she dropped the ball | the bucks were only permitted to | take the ball away with their feet. At | the opposite extremes of the lawn, stakes were erected about six feet | apart, and the contending parties ar | royod ,bepocalvac hefora tboSn st a kos the men on one side and the women on the other. The party which sue ceedsd in driving the ball through the stake at the goal of the opponents was proclaimed the victor and re- ceived the purse. All things being ready, the old chief went to the cen ter of the lawn and threw up the oakland the contest began. The l parties seemed to be fairly matched as to numbers, having about one hun dred on a side. The game lasted more than an hour, with great ani- mation, but was finally decided in ia vOr of the ladies, by the power of 8 herculean squaw, who got the ball and In spite of the men who seized
 her to shake it from her upifted
 hand held firmly, dragging then
 along till she was sufficiently near th5
 goal to throw it through the stakes
 The young squaws were the most ac-
 tive of the party and, of course, mos
 frequently caught the ball. Unt
 they did so it was amusing to see the
 strife between them and the younG Indians, who immediately seized then and always succeeded in rescuing the
 ball, though sometimes not till theil female competitors were thrown tt
 the ground.

JIM STEWART IS
 DEAD AT CAMP DIX.

Jim Stewart of Brooklyn, who at one time was considered a likely can didate for the heavyweight honors, died yesterday at Camp Dix of pneu- monia following an attack of Spanish influenza. Stewart had been acting as physical instructor for the Y. M. c. A.
 He was a rather clever boxer, but lacked the aggressiveness essential to success in the ring, His last bout was in this city on October 16, 1908, Kid Mccoy being his opponent. Me Coy was done as a ring fighter, and Stewart, who was young and strong, could have put the veteran away had he carried the fight to him. But Me Coy did a lot of clever feinting and kept Stewart at a distance.
 Mccoy got in one good punch in the opening round and scored a knock down. Mccoy managed to last the limit of six rounds. Stewart was the ring name of Harry Loerch.

HARD TIMES FOR IDLERS. Word Isn't What It Was In the Days
 of Robert Louis Stevenson.

Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote an apology for idlers. It was an in- genious essay, designed to decoy the most hardened man of business to stray afield into the primrose paths of dalliance.
 The world has changed since R. L. S. dreamed and idled the day away in the shade of an adobe wall of the quaint old Spanish California town of Monterey or from his bench in the old Plaza in San Francisco locked down upon the vari-colored life of the waterfront. In his day idleness was a personal affair. It was no possible business of the community whether man focused his vision on the business ledger or lay on his back under a tree and followed the manoeuvres of the cloud argosies overhead. It was a mans own business if he preferred to loaf and invite his soul in pastures green or chase the dollars in Picca- dilly.
 But war has changed all this. Idling, shirking, inviting ones soul-call it what you willis no longer private affair. Yesterday a man might do with tune as he pleased, ana there was no one-perhaps save his wife to say him nay. Today time belongs to the state. To waste it, to idle it away, is to do treason. Indolence in these days of world strife and stress is another word for sedition. Lazi- ness is dislo:Nl; laxity in the duties of citizenship is treachery.
 And so it is Work or Fight" This is the slogan of the government, and the states have fallen Loyalty into line to back up their Uncle Samuel. In this state all able-bodied men from | 8 to 50 are obliged by law to engage in some useful occupation or be fined S100 or spend three months in jail. And the loafer, the shirker who tries to evade this mandate by trying to find sanctuary in some other state, will have his labor for his pains There is not a square foot or land in all these United States today where the stacker, the loiterer, the idler, or the plain out-and-out hobo can evade his duty.--Rochester Post Express. rz,,k VTrv.7
