st. Paul Pioneer-Press: The restora-
ton of black walnut trees is being
considered in several states for 1920.
In Ohio the agricultural experiment
station in Wooster has Just published
pamphlet by Edmund Secrest Of the
| forestry section on the cultivation of
these trees, attention being called to
the great value Of the lumber In many
industries and its use in the great
war for airplanes and gun stocks, for
which no other substitute could be
found in sufficient quantities. Mr..
Secrest says that with proper care
trees may be grown from seed or
transplanting Of small trees to state
of maturity where the wood will be
of as great value MS that of the ortgi.
nal forest.
In Pennsylvania the state forestry
department has undertaken extensive
seed planting in an effort to restore
the black walnut. One hundred and
fifty bushels of seed have been
planted in specially prepared ground
at Mont Alto, and should produce ten
thousand seedlings for next spring.
Many requests have been received
from owners Of woodland who desire
to start groves Of the trees.
A campaign Of tree planting will
begin in 1920 in Kentucky for the re.
juvenation Of the forests, in which
walnut will be one Of the special spe-
cies planted.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
The storm which has been sweep
ing over the financial markets for
the last week, abated in fury today,
but not until after the stock market
fell to new low levels this morning.
When the market opened it was still
under the influence of heavy selling
which proved so disastrous to prices
in the last hour yesterday. For the
first hour or so the list was very
weak and additional declines of two
to FIVE points were recorded on on
exceedingly heavy turnover.
The motor and shipping shares
were among the weakest on the de-
cline, Studebaker selling down three
points to 81 and Marine preferred to
49, The market turned over dull on
the rallies and the improvement was
not impressive. A good part Of the
demand for stocks represented short
covering. u. s. Steel held steady
around 81, although subjected to
heavy selling pressure. In the final
dealing the market was irregular.

BEULAH LAND
is FAVORITE
| How One Song Becomes Leader over
Tune Which Had Been
Picked Out by
Director.
[Communicated.1

| There is peculiar characteristic
IN human nature that Is revealed
when dealing with music. 1t Is inter
esting to notice the different ways
In which congregations react toward
certain songs. One congregation will
seize upon a song and make it a
favorite for no reason at all except
that the song makes hit. Another
congregation will scarcely notice the
same hymn, but chooses another for
its favorite. Experienced song lead
ers have noted this popularity, and
much has been made OF it. s saa
! For instance, at the beginning of
the revival meetings in the First
Baptist church here, Mr.. Clarke sn
nounced that the song, Brighten tie
Corner Where You Are" would he
the particular Campaign song" He
made no attempt to force it upon the
audience, but frequently called for it
In the early part of the meeting.
Gradually, however, 1t became less
prominent in the song service, and
in its place a song that was not par
ticularly stressed in any way rapidly
became the favorite, and now scarce
ly night goes by without someone
calling for this hymn, II Am Living
in Beulah Land" And it is worth
while going to the meetings just to
hear the choir and congregation sing
this song.
Rev. Harvey J. Moore preached
last night on 1.-THE Last New Song.
He spoke in the first haf Of his ser
mon on the power Of music In human
life, and said that this power is par.
ticularly manifested in three phases
of life, namely, in love, in patriotism,
and in religion. This power" he
said, may be used to inspire and
uplift. or 1T may be employed to de-
grade and deprave men and women,
according to the character Of the
music" 49, i,2
/ The last new song. Mr. Moore de.
clared, will be that sung by the smul
titude Of the Inhabitants Of the city
Of God who have been redeemed out
OF the earth, as mentioned in Revela.
ton 14:3. mo man can sing that
song there" he continued, unless he
learns 1t here on earth by coming 10
Christ and being redeemed from the
power Of sin and having hts life made
pure and clean"
Tonight Mr.. Moore will answer the
question, What has become Of the
old-fashioned .hell?"', He will tell what
the Bible really says about hell, and
whether we need have any fear about
the hereafter.
