"HINA wants American seeds, Some people call China a back " award nation but she knows the fA%value of forestry as a national asset It is doubtful if any country suffers from floods as does China for she has "a yellow periI'' all her own. It is the Yellow River or China s Sorrow" as 1t is known in that distant country. The management of the Picking -Hankow Railway has just established an active policy for re- forestation along the right of way and is anxious to inaugurate a system of seed exchange with America. For sythe Sherfesee, the advisor in forestry has asked the cooperation of the American Forestry Association at Washington, which will be glad to Giye information as to what is wanted.
 ''The American Forestry Association now has underway its plans for aid ing in the reforesting of the battle areas of Europe says Charles Lath- rop' Pack, president of the association. Inquiries as to this work are com ing in from every section of the coun- try. In China as in Europe we have before us the value of well forested areas as national assets 10 any coun- try. True in one case the areas have been devastated by the shellfire of the Hun while in the other the areas have been devastated by the terrible ad- vances of the rivers and the desola- don Is horrible to contemplate in either ease.

minded, and had him taught by a pri- vate tutor. Later she sent him to Princeton. because she thought that the President of famous William and Mary College was too rigid a church man. She taught "her boy as she always called him, to be broad minded and loyal. Madison was devoted to his mother and gave her credit for the great honors he received from the na- ton. She lived to see him become President.
 Mother Of Lincoln
 So much has been written about the mother or mothers of Lincoln that it seems almost unnecessary to repeat their good qualities here, but too much praise cannot be given to these two noble women who taught that great statesman the virtues and duties of a man who would do good to all man kind. Reared in the direst poverty Lincoln owes much to his own mother, who started him in the principles of right and then again to the stepnother whose heart went out to the lonely boy who came under her care. Lincoln ! always paid a high tribute to both these women and cared for the physical welfare of his stepmother un- til his death from which she never recovered.
 Mother Of Grant
 Hannah Simpson Grant, the mother 1 of Ulysses s. Grant, was another of the famous mothers of our great men. His father, Jesse, established himself in business at Point Pleasant on the l Ohio River not far from Cincinnatti. Here he fell in love with Hannah Simpson, a pretty girl whose father had brought her from Pennsylvania a l few years before They were married and went to housekeeping on the i banks of the Ohio. Here on April P, 1 1922, Ulysses was born. Young Ulysses grew up like the boy of his day enjoy
 ing the delights of a school boy in

SYSTEMATIC SAVING FOR SALARIED WOMEN

Thrift through the sale of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps Countless salaried women are continu- ing their regular accumulation of wealth, through the systematic invest ment of small sums in the easily pur- chased Government securities They have acquired not only financial re- sources but admirable economic hab- its. The habit of steady systematic saving once we'll started becomes as necessary to the savers intellectual comfort and self-respect as the other necessary attention of daily life. The Thrift Stamp and War Savings Stamp habit speedily becomes as firmly in- grained as the habit of takingC daily exercise Many women are finding their economic independence through intelligent saving.

 Is the hand that rules the world"
 ts an adage that has found illus
 D tration in the lives of most of the men of prominence. As they reached the acme of their careers and received the plaudits of an admiring country they paid their mother the tribute of deserving all the credit for the honor which had come to them or the benefit they had been to their fellow country men.
 This compliment to the power and influence of motherhood Is a splendid tribute to women of America. It was the duty of these mothers of patriots to guide and mould the character of their sons; it was their lot to bear more heavily than others the sorrows and hardships along the troubled pathway of their sons career and they discharged their duties and bore their misfortunes with a heroism and self sacrifice known and felt only by true womanhood and motherhood.
 The names of the patriots of this land are many and it must be re gretted that more mothers of patriotic sons who have served their country cannot be mentioned.
 Mother Of Washington
 First we have Mary Ball Washing ton, the mother of the man who will always be the first in the hearts of his countrymen. This mother came of pious stock as her own mother was a devout person and her ancestors were convenanters. She married Augustine Washington when she was twenty-four years of age, becoming his second wife. On February 22nd, 1732, George their first child was born. They were well to do Virginia farmers and were able to give their children a good education for that period. Naturally the Washington home was one of plenty and there were no financial

In various period icals are appearing advertisements ad- vocating systematic saving for sal aried women.'' addressed to women whose future, comfort and happiness is dependent upon their own earnings '' The women are offered as an invest ment. on the partial. payment plan, various commercial bonds.

Mother Of John Quincy Adams

Mrs. Abigail Adams, the wife of 9 President and the mother of another, deserves a high place among the moth CTS of patriots, for she was one of Americas most remarkable women She had great natural gifts, an inherit ance from male ancestors on both sides who were ministers, being the daughter, granddaughter and great randdaughter Of a minister. In busi- ness affairs she was known as Portia. so keen was her insight into law. Yet with all this she was the devoted mother of five children and cared for her household with a system which even in those days made work light. She believed in the higher education of woman and was a companion to her husband in every sense of the word and often declared that the Creator intended a woman to be mans help mate and not cIinging vine. She taught her son the stern duties of life and saw to it that his education was the best that could be obtained in that day. She lived to see him Presi- dent and when he died he declared that it was through her teachings and maXiIns that he was enabled to reach the highest gift in the hands of the people. Life stagnates without ac- tIon," was one of her mottoes worth rem membering and this she impressed upon her children.

mon peopje Savinq,

Either the people as a Who'll must
finance the government, either through
taxation or bond purchase, or the gov
eminent must borrow from individuals,
from banks, or from corporations OF
large fortunes. If it does the latter,
these interests hold exactly the same
relation to the government that the
holder of a first mortgage does to the
owner Of the property and the payer
of the interest. If, on the other hand,
the debt is divided between millions
of citizens who are the government,
the relationship is as different as Is
a cooperative society from a Uriah
Heep."-William Gibbs McAdoo, in
Pictorial Review.
The United States needs the money
you invest in War Savings Stamps.
Buy them every week. They bring 4
per cent interest, compounded every
three months. They give you a share
in the government Of the United
States, Un-Ltd.-meaning unlimited.

 In addition to the work of sending the officers and men of the A. E. F. home, the embarkation section was required to provide first-class passage for welfare workers, many of them women, and for the thousands of French girls who be- came the wives of members of the A. D. F.
 The transportation of the American ex- peditionary forces from Europe to the United States was admirably accom- plished by means of organizations and methods created under the spur of ne- cessity. The lessons learned by the army while carrying on the work of taking the A B. F. home may be of immense value in the future if it ever becomes necessary for us to move any great num- Der of troops to another country.

GERMAN WAR SHIPS.

A change in the attitude of the
British Government regarding the
plan to sink interned German war
ships has been noticed since the re-
turn Of Premier LLOYD George to
Paris. 1t now appears probable that
instead of the German craft being
sunk, Great Britain will be willing
to permit France and Italy to keep
some OF the ships, but will consent to
sink her own allotment
In this way, it is said, Great Bri-
tain would relieve the United States
of the necessity of carrying out her
projected great naval building pro.
gram, which it is understood was
based on the intention to prevent any
one nation from having such pre-
dominant navy as would give her con-
troll of the seas against the powers
of the league Of nations.
The addition of limited number
Of the German warships to the
French and Italian Navies would not
sensibly disturb the present balance
OF naval power, excluding Austria
and Germany.

LONDON LAUDS WILSON SPEECH,

ITO President Wilson's farewell
speech at New York." says the Lon
don Daily News, there is nothing
;hat any advocate o: the league could
desire to add. His appeal for Ameri-
can cooperation in the salvation of
tho world was rs Irresistible rs his in
dictmen. of the selfish particularism
Of the opponents of the. league was
unanswerable
The nation that ventures all she
is and all she has in tho destructive
toll Of war Is not the nation to draw
back and refuse her share in the con-
structive labor of peace. Constitu-
fionally the opposition Of solid
block of Republicans in the senate
looks formidable. Actually, as Presi-
dent Wilson confidently recognizes
the issue lies with the people, for no
Senate eould refuse to ratify treaties

commanded he manifest and express
