Farmer Turns Sandy Tract
of Land Into FIouriShinu
Forest Within Few Years

England and Scotland are preparing
to replant forests which have been cut
to provide war supplies. They are do
ing it now. Never before have those
countries been so bare of timber.
Hunting ranges and sporting grounds
have been sacrificed to supply NUM-
ton factories at home and armies
abroad. The old forests were pri-
marily ornamental and incidentally
useful, but those which are now being
deliberately provided for will be
primarily useful and incidentally or
namental, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
In the United States we are not in
so much need of tree planting as they
are in the British isles. But there are
two kinds of timber which the war de-
mand has greatly depleted, and they
are kinds of much Importance, locust
and black walnut.
There is another point to be consid-
cred in the planting of these trees !:
They can be grown on sandy tracts of
land which are now considered of no
value, and thus reclaim this land.
An excellent illustration of what
can be accomplished in the way of re-
claiming useless land through the
planting of trees has been carried out
during the last six or eight years by a
resident of Whiteside county, Illinois.
In these years he has accomplished the
seemingly impossible task of turning
some 20 acres of sand, formerly as bar
rem as the desert of Sahara, into a
flOurishing forest. Nor is that all for
this forest, acting as a sand binder,
has been the means of saving other
fertile acres from the inroads of the
drifting sand, the total result being
that the farm has increased several
times in value. The sandy tracts,
which, before being planted to trees,
were practically worthless, are now
worth anywhere from $50 to 500 an
acre.

Mans Work Should Provide
Happiness and Peace of Mind

A mans work should always mean
more to him than mere means of live
lihood. He should draw from it happi-
ness, contentment, peace of mind. This
he can do only if he looks upon his
work as contributing something worth
while to the lives of his fellow men.
For men are so built that the con-
seriousness of rendering service is an
instructive need of their being. Those
who have not this consciousness are
certain to be unhappy, whether they
de not work at all or work up to the
limit of their powers and whether the
monetary return from their work is
small or great.

Until last spring General Pershing
made his residence in a large villa
near headquarters. He soon found,
however, that so near the workshop of
the army he could not have the quiet
and lack of intrusion necessary to his
growing responsibilities, and he moved
in May last to a beautiful chateau
about five miles from the town. Here,
in great rambling castle, situated in
the Marine valley among groves and
wide sunlit lawns, he lived with his
personal staff. Connected by tele-
phone with every divisional corps and
army headquarters, his own offices in
ChaumOnt, and with Paris, he did his
work there when not with the army.

Scarcity Of SCythes.

Before the war Russia's need of
scythes was estimated at 100000 an
nually, of which about half were re-
quired in Siberia. To fill these require
ments about 100000 scythes were inn
ported annually and the remainder
manufactured in Russia. According to
latest information there are hardly
any scythes to be found, Russian in
dustry being at standstill and the
importation closed.

center of the army. a city of normally
about $1,000 inhabitants Chaumont lies
on the Eastern railway lines, 163 miles
east of Paris. 1t was formerly the
capital of Bassigny, and is now the
capital of the department of the
Haute Marine.
Like most of the older cities of
France, Chaumont seems to have been
founded on a site of strategic value. 1t
crowns a high plateau between the
Marine and the Suize, and from the
walls and towers of the old city is a
wonderful view of the valley of the
Marine, the river here being hardly as
wide as the Marine canal that flows be
side it between its poplar-bordered
banks. Northward over the narrow
vale of the Suize the view takes in a
wide sweep of rolling, forest-crowned
hills.
Removed From Paris.
General headquarters was removed
from Paris here in September of last
year, ChaumOnt being selected after u
careful search of available locations.
1t lies in the center of what was the
American training area, every camp,
as well as the Toul sector, in which
the American forces first saw battle,
and all the lines from Toul eastward,
where we were located, being within
reach by motor.

A TRUE REMEDY
FOR MALARIA
NO. 1O1 tonic

In the low marshy places where
mosquitoes breed. there is always ma
Iaria in the Spring and Summer. But
this terrible affliction can be COM
pletely knocked out of the system
by DR.. Williams 101 Tonic 1t not
only knocks out malaria, but it builds
up the health generally and makes
the sufferer strong and we'll and able
to resist attacks of every day ailrnent.
The quinine in it kills the malaria
germs as soon as it penetrates the
system, the. iron strengthens and in
vigorates and improves the appetite;
the magnesia regulates the bowels and
prevents constipation and headache.
DIR. Williams 101 Tonic is a most
valuable medicine for any one in run
down health. Try it. Yer druggist
can supply you. Refuse all substi-
tutes.-Ady.
