And laughter-sometin. tears;
And disappointment IN the little
things
The hours that seem like years:
glowing heart famed by enthusi-
And DIRE dream Ito to light the way,
And courage born of no experience
To him. who lives in May.
There is the charm of Mind, the in
That thinks and builds, creates
The forms that represent its hopes
and toll
The things for which earth waits!
A mind matured by time, sobered by
care
More patient than of old!
More tolerant of mems weaknesses ana
Slower to act, yet bold!
There is the charm of Soul, the soul
that grows
sweeter with passing years,
Whose love has grown beyond life's
littleness-
Conauering earth's baseless fears.
The soul that is a harbor for the weak!
That helps with heart and hands!
Whose counsel js lamp upon men
The Soul that understands!

DE MILES NOVEL FEAT

Some idea of the attention paid to
details by Cecil B. De Mile in his pro-
duction of the Paramount-Artcraft
picture, male and Female" which
will be the attraction at the Green
wood Theatre soon, may be gained
from a photographic feat which he
accomplished during the filming.
Those who are familiar with Sir James
M. Barrie's famous play, "The Ad-
mirahle Crichton," from which the
new De Mile production was ad-
apted, will recall that several of the
most exciting scene tax place in a
cave on a tropical island. In order to
secure natural sunlight for shooting
these episodes, Mr., De Mile devised
an intricate system of mammoth mir
rors, by which the rays of the sur
were reflected far into the dark re
cesses of the cave. Despite the lavish
scale upon which the picture was
screened, the inimitable Barrie humo1
and his whimsical touches are appar
ent throughout. Thomas Meighar
has the leading role, and other pro.
minent players in the cast are Gloris
Swanson, Lila Lee, Theodore Roberts
Bebe Daniels, Raymond Hatton, am
Guy Oliver.

RELIEF PULP AND
PAPER FAMINE
Alaska Would Throw Open Her Mil
lions of Acres. National Forests to
Relieve Newsprint Situation.
Associated Press

SEATTLE, Feb. 1O-Alaska wants
to throw open her millions Of acres
Of national forests so that the billions
of feet Of paper wood of the north
land can help the pulp and newsprint
famine Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr.,
of Alaska, declared here recently.
Governor Riggs was here on his
way from Juneau, capital of Alaska,
to Washington, D. c., where he ex-
pected to help press pending legis-
lation intended to remove restrictions
and allow pulp manufacturers to go
into the Tongass and Chaugach, re-
servations, the northern territory's
two great reserves.
Pulp and paper men are anxious to
go to Alaska and establish mills as
great as those operated in British Co
lumbia not far south of the Alaska
boundary line, the governor assert
ed. Under the present laws the pulp
makers cannot enter the reservations
with any certainty hat they will be
allowed to stay.
Alaska's great forests stretch over
approximately $4,000 square miles, an
area nearly equal in size to the state
Of Indiana, according to estimates
made by government officials.
Several hundred million feet of good
pulp wood, including western yellow
pine, hemlock, sitka spruce, white fir
and lodge-pole pine, are on the forest
reserves alone.
The Tongassnesserve, in southeast
ern Alaska, is especially adapted to
the manufacture Of pulp paper, fores-
try officials have reported. There is
plenty Of water power, ocean barbors
open the year round, timber skirting
the water and weather similar to that
Of the Puget Sound.
The governor intends to ask Wash
ington to restore the reserves to the
national domain or to open them to
the pulp industry.
