of the extravagant and often fragrant misuse of
the fuel. Natural gas from Indiana fields Is to-
day memory, and citizens depend upon an
uncertain supply pped from the West Virginia
fields and have been informed that within year
this will cease.
Many square miles of our soil have been des-
poied of their fertility by failure of farmers to
rotate crops and heed the advice of the agricul-
tural experts at Purdue University. The educa-
tional campaigns made during the war served to
awaken many agriculturists to the folly of their
ways and to convince them of the necessity of
conserving soil.
And so the instances might be multiplied of
short sighted policy of which all states of the
republic were guilty. Lately we have seen the
error of our ways. The necessity of conserving
what is left and handing it down to future gen.
erations as a priceless heritage is beginning to
dawn on us.
The department of conservation is preaching
this gospel in season and out. Hoosiers are ex-
perencing new pride in conserving the natural
resources of the state. A good beginning has
been made. Splendid results will follow. Fallow
land is looked upon as potential acreage for crops

to be exact, of the discovery that hard
cider contains more than two per cent

two rounds of hard cider they decided
to build new church and give all the
paupers of the village $40 apiece.

recommendation to the hundreds OF

SINCERITY OF VISION


The real thinker analyZes-and con-
structs.
To get a wholesome viewpoint, you
must be sincere in your vision. You
must look into the heart and mean
ing of things. You must see honesty
in purposes and burn all dross from
intentions.
The deep thinker is always the sim
pie thinker.
No matter how poor or mean in
bodily substance, there Is in the
rough Of every human this fine fact
that he is sincere at his best
Great Nature has brought this to
pass.
By looking into things, by knowing
that everything, whether great or
small, is enveloped in rightness, you
are made to emphasize to every pas
serby, as well as to yourself, that you
are no unimportant person.
Through the moments do you think
and walk and work. They are to you
the very nourishment of your soul.
Out from a clean heart do the won
ders of sincere vision gush-as the
water from the spring which some
noble mountain feeds.
Let us not accept in careless medl-
tation what God hath wrought Is
not the milk which we drink but the
green grass from fields, made disable
for US by the faithful COW? Our
beautiful works of art, our lovely fur
nishings, our books, the very carpets
under our feet-is it possible to name
anything which may not be melted
back into the fields of Nature?
In sober reflection can we afford to
wend our way.
The test of sincere vision is the
test of understanding.

Conserving the States Natural Resources

Of paramount Importance to each citizen indi-

the problem of conserving the natural resources
of the state 1t affects this generation in no
small degree and is of vital Importance to the
children of the next.
Time was when we profligate with the
natural wealth of our state. Splendid forests of
hard wood timber fell before the settlers axe to
make way for fertile acres that today produce
no small part of the states wealth..

SOME PARENTS LATE
 IN CHOOSING \ NAME

Of the 625 boys and girls who added to the population of the state during the month January, 150 are registered without a name.
 According to the laws of the state, the physician in charge of the case must record the birth of every child within five days, an1 in many cases parents are undecided about the name. Realizing that parents appreciate the value of a birth certificate, Mrs. Charles R. Howe, director of child well fare with the state board of health. is forwarding supplementary blank with the request that the parents fill in the name space. This card will have to be signed by the attending physician and filed with the local reg 1 istrar, who in turn will file it with the state board of health. where the card will be attached to the original. Mrs Howe will mail the January cards this week and will later send the supple mentary cards to those who have failed to complete the certificate for Febru- ary and the spring months.
 Tn order that the cards might be complete when originally filed, Mrs. Howe suggests that parents make a first and second choice of names.
