Replanting War Forests

England and Scotland are pre-
pairing to replant forests which
have been cut to provide war sup
plies. They did not wait until
peace is concluded, but started do
ing it now Never before have those
countries been so bare Of timber.
Hunting ranges and sporting
grounds have been sacrificed to
supply munition factories at home
and armies abroad. The old forests
were primarily ornamental and in
cidentally useful, but those which
are now being deliberately provided
for will be primarily useful and in
cidentally ornamental, says Robert
H. Moulton in the January 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 demand has greatly
depleted. and they are kinds of
much importance-locust and black
walnut.
There is another point to be con-
sidered in the planting of these
trees: They can be grown on sandy
tracts Of land which are now con-
sidered of no value, and thus re.
claim this land.
An excellent illustration of what
can be accomplished in the way Of
retaining useless land through the
planting of trees has been carried
out during the last six or eight
years by resident of Whiteside
county. Illinois. In these years he
has accomplished the seemingly i'm
possible tasks of turning some 70
acres of sand. formerly as barren
as the desert of Sahara, into -four
ishing forest. Nor is that all. For
this forest. acting as 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 sey-I

thus;
They whisper each to each,
And each and all of them to us,
In varied forms of speech.
BE serious" the solemn pine
Is saying overhead;
"Be beautiful" the elm tree fine
Has always finely said;
"Be quick to feel the aspen still
Repeats the whole day long;
While. from the green slope of the
hill,
The oak tree adds, ''Be strong"
When with my burden as l hear
Their distant voices call,

ponies because they were born, OF
their fathers and mothers were
born, in the Shetland islands.
There are ever so many of these
islands. about 100, hi1k. But
some Of them are so small and so
rocky that not many people live
on them. But folks live on twenty.
three of them and it's on these
islands that the ponies are raised.
AS the plane swooped down
nearer the islands the children
could see that they seemed to be
built of rock. The waves dashed
up against tall cliffs of granite and
sandstone. 1t looked to be humid
reds of feet from the water to the
tops of the cliffs. All around the
islands fishing boats darted in and
out of the little harbors. Fishing
and raising ponies, cattle and sheep
! keeps most of the folks on the
islands busy, you know.
Captain Brave circled above the
islands until he had consulted his
charts and then landed the plane
on one of them. 1t was called
Mainland. That's the largest of
the islands. and so the first people
who decided 10 live there called it
Mainland.
The plane came to a stop in a
wide road before a farm house.
Around the house, in different
fields, the children saw what looked
like thousands of ponies. OF
course, there weren't that many.
Captain Brave decided that there
must be at least five hundred,
though. And. oh. such beauties!
They were of many different
sizes. The littlest ones seemed to
be not much bigger than collie
dogs the children had seen. They
trotted along the fences eager to
see what big bird had alighted near
their home. When they got a good
look at the huge plane and saw the
and their friends climbing
out of it they became startled and
ran away from the fence.
I'll have to wait until tomorrow
TO tell you more about them,
though.

An Old Prophecy 5t
Comes True

! The following verses are from
a very interesting poem called
Mother Symptoms Prophecy"
which were supposed to have been
written by a woman, who was
thought to be able to imagine what
was going to happen in the future.
Nothing definite is known about
this strange woman (if indeed. she
was a woman but tradition, which
always has something to say when
prosaic old Facts" is silent. tells
us a little about her, which how
ever we can not really say is known
to be true. This is what tradition
tells us: Mother Shipley was a wo-
man whose real name was c. Hind
ly, and who was born in England.
near Knaresborough, Yorkshire, in
July, 1888, and died when she was
over seventy years old. She was
prophecies and published many
strange sayings, though many were
published under her name which
she never wrote 1t wasn't till 1641
that a pamphlet was found con-
tanning her predictions.
In 1862, the following prediction
was published with the name of
Mother Shipley attached to it. Even
at that time many of the things
it speaks of were thought Of by
the people as absolutely impossible.
except the ending of the world,
which is spoken of in the last two
lines and they were afraid Of that.
1t will be noticed that all the
events predicted in it except these
last two lines have come to pass.
Carriages without horses shall go:
And accidents fill the world with
woe.
Around the world thoughts shall
fly,
In the twinkling of an eye;
Waters shall yet more wonders do;
How strange. yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through hills men shall ride.
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under water men shall walk.
Shall ride, shall sleep. shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
iron in water shall float
AS easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found, and shown
In land that is not known.

"cHERRY RIPE"

Robins in the cherry tree,
Come on and get pail!
From white to green,
From green to red.
The cherries ripen overhead.
Until a luscious feast is spread
For all who dare to climb:
And every hungry bird has seen
That 1t is dinner time.
Robins in the cherry tree.
Who'll help to fill the pail?
