PLAN UNIQUE FOREST SYSTEM
New Workers Aim to Make County
One Continuous Park, and Have
the Trees Pay Taxes.

To make the lOaing acre work is
the plan of OtsegO county, New York,
which has started a campaign to plant
a forest Of 100 acres on the waste
lands in each of the "A townships of
that county.
The plans. says the New York Times,
are to develop a county system similar
to the city park plan, with its har-
moniZed system Of connecting boule-
wards, The project involves the de-
velopment OF a comprehensive highway
system.
The forests will be located so that
they will serve as green nature sign
boards along the highways, to adver-
tiSe to the world that the county has
its own forests, owned, planted and
maintained by the public for the fu-
ture generations.
AS the trees mature they will pro-
vide in the future an income which
will mean an actual cash return to
serve as an offset against taxation.
European towns often pay the cost of
operation Of their government from
their forests, having no taxes, but this
requires a greater area of forest than

CHAUTAUQUA CIRCLE

The Pieran Chautauqua Circle held its regular
bi-weekly meeting in the school room, Sunday after
noon, Feb 1st. The assemblage was called to order
by President F. o. O.; eighteen members present.
including four new members; one member temporarily
absent
Following the reading and approval of the min
utes of the last meeting Pres. O. extended cordial
welcome to the members about to be seated and
assigned them one each to classes D, B, and E.
Stationery and library cards accepted with an
avdty that predicts forthcoming results for the good
of the circle.
Since the last meeting few books and set of
encyclopedias had been added to those already in our
book case; these were distributed among members by
class leaders
Glass B, represented by Mr.. P. G. furnished
paper on, Insurance an Investment" Before pre-
senting his paper Mr.. G. made few Introductory
remarks stating he had purposey omitted all statistics
and figures that only illustrations showing why in
surance wise investment to be mentioned.
The protective side of insurance was strongly pre-
sented, from the professional dancer who protects
against the loss of terpschorean Abilities the modest
worker who protects those dependent upon him. The
circle showed considerable interest in insurance by the
discussion that followed. The protection investment
and thrift compelling features brought out by
several members in giving their individual views.
A vocal solo by Mr. F. B. was next announced.
Mr. B: is always ready to do his part, an admirable
trait of character worthy of each members emulation
He first sang, Goodbye, Good Luck God Bless You"
followed by, Where did Robinson Cruso go with Fri
day on Saturday Night?' This mixture of pathos
and nonsense furnished what might be termed 'bal-
anced ration" for omnivorous intellects and
spirited applause for Mr.. B.
Glass D represented by Mr.. F. E. w. furnished
a paper entitled, 'Waterpower and its Development.
Mr. W., altho restricted to short ten minutes,
cred the subject quite thoroughly from the dmuntve
paddle-whees of the primitive grist mill to the mann
moth turbines and Hydro-Electric plants of today.
Readers of THE MIRROR will find this interesting
article to read when it appears.
Mr.. l. c. R. of Class A was called on rather
expectedly. Having nothing ready in the form of
prepared paper he valliantly made few extempofan
eous remarks, generously nterspersed with humor end
ing with recitation Garry On"
Mr.. c. S., on behalf of class F. had been busy for
some thirty minutes water color drawing. Its
completion portrayed striking realistic winter land
scape. Mr.. S. is another of willing workers and
his artistic productions always received well earned
applause.
Mr.. M. g., the critic, being called upon for his
report furnished an able summary of the session and
adjournment was declared.

The Revolt Against Work

After the Civil war an era of rapid expansion and
speculation set in, says the Kansas City Star Things
wild for time The country was in an expan-
sive mood There fairly prevalent idea that it
was possible to prosper that way. But the bulk of
those who tried it came to grief.
In some what the same fashion the world is find
ing it hard to settle down after the war. In Great
Britain and Europe the decentralization is especially
marked. Many persons content to draw out-of-
work benefits from the government. 1t is widely held
that there is plenty 60 round, very little
work is done.
Argument on the subject probably doesn't do
much good. 1t doesn't convince the person who re-
fuses to be convinced But Nature the ancient school
mistress, is still the job. She teaches by exper-
fence. Eventually the demorazed ones will bump in
to the fact that takes work to produce goods and
that high level of production necessary for high
level of prosperity
That lesson borne in on people after the
Civil war; They got to work and conditions returned
to normal. Europe will respond to the same treat
ment.-Kansas City Star.

Content and Comfort in the Far North

If you remember that all of us who have spent
more than year living the country are quite of

caribou meat and if you have any experience in your
life hunter anywhere, you will realize that in the
evenings when sit in these warm snow houses
feastng with keen appettes unlimited quantities of
boiled ribs, we have all the creature comforts.
What we lack, if we feel any lack at all, will be
possibly the presence of friends far away the chance
to hear opera the movies. At any rate it is true
that today in the move-infested city long for more
snow-house evenings after caribou hunts as never in
the north longd for clubs orange groves
