gument Patrick Henry always de- clared that if he had any gift in ora tory he inherited it from his mother and although she had much trouble with him in his early life on account of his fondness for sports he always revered her and was penitent after any of his pranks. He grew up with his several sisters and loved them dearly as his mother said ''perhaps beca use they spoiled him." He studied the books of that day and at the age of fifteen years is said to have been well verscd in ancient and modern history, which he learned at his mothers knee. He loved the rod and gun but as the Henry family was large and the in come small Patrick went to work in a country store. He cared little 10 make sales and when he could get a crowd
 of customers together he loved to talk and politics and freedom soon became his subjects. Frequently at night he talked with his mother on these sub jects, but it seems that she was so fond of talking that when she began to give him advice he had no chance to talk and was so interested in her words that he did not care to. Final i ly he became a lawyer and by his brilliant speeches came out of ob- scurity and made name for himself in history.

 The conditions caused by these floods tend to become steadily worse The river beds become filled with great masses of sand and silt and the mountain. slopes become furrowed into deep gul1ies through which the tor rents roar in foaming, boulder strewn crests after every downpour. The only way to diminish the evil is to diminish the amount of soil brought down from the mountains. If the mountains were covered with trees similar to those which once were spread over them the water would not be able to take away so much soil and furthermore it would reach the river gradually in a regular flow divided over a longer period and not within a few hours in fierce tor rents.

Tn addition to the ravages caused by floods China suffers economically be- cause of the shortage of forests and timber supplies. Existing industries require fuel and lumber, but under present conditions most of the needed forest products have to be imported. This is a drain on the financial re- sources of the country which is among the least harmful effects. The chief harm comes in the handicap to indus trial development, the depressed stand ard of living and the low productive ness of the workers per capita. Since trees have vanished brush and wild shrub growth of all kinds have eagerly been consumed, until the very roots ct the plants are dug from the ground to serve as a. scant supply of fuel for cooking and for warmth.

swimming holes fishing and skating His life, however, was not all play for he was obliged to assist his father in earning a living for the family. On the whole he was a shy boy and people began to say he resemblod his mother This lady was one of those attractive women who was much beloved by both young and oId-of strong. steady char acter, very quiet, very reserved, even tempered and patient-the kind of a woman to whom people brought their troubles but who gave no condolences in return. She loved her son with a rare devotion and assisted him with his lessons and urged him to be am bilious. She seldom laughed and never complained. Her son recorded that he never saw her shed tear. The peo- pie who did not like Jesse Grant de- cIared round that Ulysses got his sense from his mother.' She was re- ligious but not austere and taught her children to be good and to do their duty Grant showed little emotion over anything, a trait which he inherited from his mother to whom he always gave the credit of any good char acteristic he may have shown.
 Mother Of Garfield
 Mrs. Eliza Garfield, the mother of the martyred President, was another of the mothers who led her son along the path of right and duty. Left a widow with four children in almost absolute poverty on a farm in the West i she worked hard to keep the property and the children inheriting her spirit worked with her. James. who later | became the chief executive of our land was three years old when his father died. Always of a lovable disposition he was the idol of his brothers and sisters. Mrs. Garfield was a devout | Christian and as they lived far from 1 church her Bible teaching every Sun day took the place of church service | She was a. pioneer reformer as well and taught her children temperance i love of liberty and loyalty to their 1 Government She proposed the cree | ton of a school house wherein the children of the neighborhOod might receive instruction and from her scanty acres gave land enough for the purpose. She lived to see all of her

zens and to see her youngest son be- come President.
 One of the well remembered incl dents of his inauguration was when after the ceremony he kissed first his wife and then his mother. To his mother President Garfield was always her baby and they talked together on many affairs of state. When he was shot down by the hand of tho assassin she said ''The Lord help me, how could anybody try to kill my baby" Her grief over his death was pathetic and thousa nds who saw her at his funeral wept in sympathy with her My mother made me what I an," the President declared many times as he recalled his early days in the west when their existence had been such struggle.
 Mother Of Roosevelt
 The late exPresfdent Roosevelt's mother was a Southern girl named Martha Bullock, and according to the words of this great American was entirely 'unreconstructed" to the day of her death. She was a charming and beautiful woman, a devoted moth CT who, while she loved the Confed- crate cause never clashed with her husband who was a staunch Unionist- She taught her son in the ways of honesty and truthfulness and that he must never be a coward. His bit terest enemy could never accuse him of this for he, to the end of his life, was fearless in support of any cause which he thought to be right Mrs. Roosevelt would not tolerate selfish ness among her children and insisted upon discipline in her family, practic- 1 ing it with great love and patience She is described by those who knew her, as a woman beloved by every | body.
 This war has brought about count l less numbers of mothers of patriots who made the supreme sacrifice for their country. Many of them have formed themselves into a society known as the War Mothers and they are seeing to it that Uncle Sam is leaving nothing undone in the treat ment of their wounded sons.
 The American mothers of all ages have taught their sons the doctrine | of patriotism and as a race we owe much to their self-sacrifce. All honor to the day set aside in their memory.

 Will Exchange Seeds
 MT. S.crfesee reports that the ter ritory in China where the reforesta- ton work is to be undertaken and in which the help of America is asked, lies within the north temperate zone but that it Is a region of widely vary ing moisture conditions from the semi-arid sandy plains of the North to the fertile, humid flats of the Yangste Valley. Quite a variety of seeds of trees which grow there are offered in exchange for those which China needs at the present time; and 1t is believed that this exchange will benefit this country also and provide a number of new and valuable trees which will thrive here.
 China has been a greater sufferer than any other nation from floods due to deforestation, and few people have any conception of this great problem. China is now trying to recover from the effects of a short-sighted policy which permitted the destruction of the country's mountain forests. This result was due to the complete ab- sence of government ownership and control of these lands and to the ex- ercise of the rights of individuals to do as they pleased rsgardless of the welfare of the Nation or posterity. The floods which nov sweep over portions of China at cArtain periods, carrying with them whole towns and villages and resulting int loss of life, are the direct result of the policy which failed to protect China's forests.

Reforestation Of Mountain Slopes To
 Prevent Floods


 Prevent Floods
 The best and most convincing ex- amples of the devastation and ruin caused by this loss of forest cover to protect the watersheds, may be seen in the great plains of north central China, whose rivers rise in steep mountainous country which has been converted by unchecked forest exploit ation into barren slopes entirely de- void of vegetation. After study of China's problems by prominent engi- neers, it has been decided that refores- tation of the mountain slopes up near the sources of the great streams which sweep through the plains of China, offers the only hope and the most practical means of checking the ero- sion and the floods.
 Flood Scene In Tientsin
 A graphic description of conditions which exist at time of one of the big floods which visit many cities in China, is given by Dau Yang Lin, graduate of the Yale Forestry School at New Haven, Conn.,, who is doing pioneer work in awakening his country to its great need of reforestation- In speak ing of what he saw at Tientsin. he says: While in Tientsin I had the opportunity of going through the flooded sections of the city, and 1t was a terrible sight indeed. The boat man who took us around through the flooded streets would indulge inNpoint-

cares to rack the nerves of the wife and mother. Mrs. Washington, while by no means severe with her children, believed in discipline and constantly instructed them to be fair to their pIayfellows and to be reverent on re- nglous subjects. MT. Washington died at the age of forty-nine. The children were left under the mothers guardian ship until they became of age. George was eleven at the time of his fathers death and devoted to his mother-a devotion which he retained to the day of her death at the age of eighty = three. It was always her boast that she never had to reprimand George a second time.
 While the mother of Washington was proud of his success in later life she was never effusive and when oth- CTS congratulated her she would reply that he was a good son and would do his duty as a man. As she grew. older she lived in seclusion, but Washington took the Marquis de La Fayette and many of his officers to see her and it is said that she presented a pretty pie ture of a Virginia matron and re- ceived them with a dignity and grace which charmed them. After Wash ington had been elected President he paid her his last visit. Both seemed to realize this and both wept. She talked to him as she did when he was child bidding him do the duty Provi- dence had assigned to him and to live his life through with her blessing on his head. Washington was i'll when she died and could not attend the flu neral yet he paid a beautiful tribute to her life in Q letter to his sister.

through the shell fire of the Huns and the cutting down of thousands of acres to supply wood and timber needed by the allied armies, it must be remen- bered that China's problem in this di- rection is bigger and has existed for many years. In both of these great rcforestation efforts, that of Europe and that of the Far East the Amer ican Forestry Association which is en- couraging the planting of more trees in the United States and wider inter- est in this country's important forestry problems, has extended its offer ef cooperation and this has been accept ed. In Europe it is necessary to plant millions of acres of trees to make up for the destruction wrought by the Huns; in China similar planting must be done to make up for lack of fore sight in the past which permitted the ruthless cutting down of the country,s forests without thought of regulation and restoration.
