BEGIN 70 RENEW FORESTS
England and Scotland Have Already
Started to Replace Trees Cut
Down During the War.

England and Scotland are preparing
to replant forests which have been cut
to provide war supplies. They are not
waiting until peace is concluded, but
are doing II 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-
mnrly ornamental and incidentally
useful. but those which are now be-
ing provided for will be primarily use
fml aud incidentally ornamental, says
Robert II. Moulton I'm Popular Mechan-
les 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
demand has greatly depleted, and
hey are kinds of much Importance
locust and black walnut.
There is another point to be consld-
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 the land.
An excellent illustration Of what can
he accomplished IN the way of reclaim
ing useless land through the planting
of trees has been carried out during
the last six or eight years by n res
ident OF Whlteside county, Illinois. In
these years he has accomplished the
seemingly impossible task of turning
some 20 acres of sand, formerly as bar
rem assthe desert of Sahara, into a
flourshing forest. Nor Is that all /;
for this forest, acting as sand bind
err has been the means Of saving other
fertile acres from the inroads of the
drifting sand, and the total result be
ing that the farm has increased sew
eral 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.

DAUGHTER OF EVE
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
BY EDITH 8. LAMPRE'

When Hester Malone tripped in from
her ride, the delightful tang of au-
tumn still chung to her. Loose strands
of wavy hair lay about soft cheeks
whipped to vermilion by the wind.
Dropping an armful of woodland beau
ty, she tugged at the generous en-
folding collar of her modish coat and
looked about her for a receptacle for
the treasures.
In the tiny kitchenette she espied
the big brown bean pot, alas no long
er in service, and tugged it down from
an upper shelf. 1t was just the thing
to hold the great cluster of purple as
tiers trimmed with goldenrod.
With her small, dark head cooked to
one side. Hester studied the effect of
warm hued autumn leaves against a
drab velours hanging. Suddenly the
slim. erect figure crumpled up like
soft gray kitten and pumped onto
the springy couch, crying heartbroken-
| ly. There was a mighty good reason
| for the tears, for Hester was known
as a spunky young person, who held
her head very high whichever way the
wind happened to blow. Today she
felt deeply Inundated, crushed in fact,
and all on account of Jed Bakers
| silly old car.
It had left-hand drive, that car Of
Jeds, which Of course brought Hes
ter's stunning left profile In almost
constant view Of the apparently enam-
ored young man. At times, as the
car lurched over rails and crossings,
which was often. Jeds broad right
shoulder brushed dangerously near
Hester's dainty left, and very, very
close to her heart. Which was all very
| fine, or might have been, had only Jed
| been seated on her right hand. For
on Hester's left cheek there was a
scar, tiny one, which showed scarce
ly any, unless irrltated by a strong
wind.
Jed had parked the car by the road
side. and together they had followed
the winding path up the long slope
|
liage. He had filed her arms with the
riot Of wild flowers growing by the
wayside. Hester was hatless now, and
as her dark head had leaned to a back
ground Of blazing sumac Jed had
started toward her with arms out
stretched. Hester's dilatlng gray eyes
had already answered the love call in
his when to her utter confusion and
humiliation she saw his arms drop TO
his sides. His finely lighted eyes sud-
denly grew dim and dropped from hers,
fastening themselves directly upon the
scar on her left cheek. The thrilling
words Hester had been waiting to hear
for more than year now were left I'M
said.
1t was the horrid little scar, Of
course, which had raised its inflamed
head and separated her from Jed, per-
haps forever. Why did she have to
have that unfortunate fall In her baby
hood2 1t was running her life.
A fresh burst Of tears and Testers
face dncked into a convenient pillow.
Jed was going West tonight "on very
important business" he had told her.
Perhaps there was someone there
whom he cared for more than her,
He had behaved strangely when they
parted.
