FOREST ON DRIFTING SANDS
Frenchman's Ingenuity Has Made Of
Waste Place Region of Ferti-
ity and Usefulness.

In the southwest corner of France,
between the rivers Adour and Car
onne, are long stretches of pine woods,
green and cool. Where these pines
now stand was barren waste in the
middle Of the eighteenth century. Sun
and wind We'd with each other in max
Ing the land drier and dustier. Over
the stormy bay of Biscay came winds
that set up great sand storms and
sometimes buried whole villages. But
at last there came along man who
acknowledged fate only as something
to be overcome. His name was Bre-
montier and he was an inspector Of
roads. he began fencing In the des-
ert. He built a fence and behind 1t
planted a handful Of broom seeds. Be
hind the broom seeds he put seeds Of
the pine. The fence protected the
broom seeds and the broom grew.
Then the broom In its turn afforded
shelter to the delicate pine shoots.
Soon the pines spread and their tough
roots bound this sandy soil together.
The first step was accomplished. Then
canals were made to drain the wet
parts and carry water to the dry.

Nearly two-thirds of the meat eaten
on the farm is pork, the average farm
consumption of pork being over 500
pounds per family. The greater por-
ton of the pork products used by
farmers are produced on the home
farm. A small number of pigs can
be raised cheaply, says the United

Kitchen and garden wastes, and some
times dairy by-products, are available
for feed. The farmer usually kills

WOULD AVOID
ODD CAR FARE
Engineers Ask Full Street
Traffic Investigation.

The Indianapolis chapter Of the AmsrH~
can Association of Engineers goes on
record in favor Of Thorough investigation
Of traffic conditions before street car
routes are changed downtown in a reso-
luton adopted at the last regular meet
ing. The resolution was sent to the
board Of public works.
The resolution says;
1.-THE street railway routes al at present
established are In many respects sus-
ceptible Of vast improvement with prob
able savings in operating cost, whereby
the continuance of the scent fare may
be assured that the annoyances and in
conveniences Of a fare including odd
cents should be avoided If possible to do
so, besides the added tax upon the COM
pany's patrons.
at is self-eVident that any public
utility must earn enough to pay its oper-
ating expenses and legitimate fixed
charges the company at the present time
is barely doing this. If Mt all, and the
great addition to operating expense en-
tailed by adding many miles of car
travel without any proportionate increase
in revenue, as would be occasioned by
the enforcement of the proposed loop
ordinance, would drive the company into
early bankruptcy, to the great detriment
of the public service and general injury
to the community"

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory.

One morning. IS Puss Junior was
travelling through the Country OF the
Gods, he came to a pond os clear water
on the bank OF which stood beautiful
woman With her children. And she was
JHst about 20 give them a drink when
the countrymen who lived nearby gath
cred around the pond and forbade her
10 drink from It.
And some az them were so cruel as 20
throw stones ne her aud others stirred
up the water so as 20 make 10 muddy
and uunt 70 drink And when Puss
saw how wicked they were be grew very
angry. and taking his flaming gold
feather from his cap. he waved 81 before
them and, would you believe II, they ali
turned into frogs.
As quick as a wink their backs turned
green and their breasts white, and they
crooked ln q dismal way:
Now In this pond forever,
And forever shall you stay;
Your voices shall Dee husky croaks
No matter what you say.
For who shall be so cruel
And do what you have done.
Shall swim beneath the water
And never never run
And then the lovely woman thanked
Puss and he went upon his way. after
replacing his magic gold feather In his
cap.
And by and by. after a while, Puss
came to a fisherman who was drawing
his net to land. and when he emptied HIS
net he began 70 sort the fishes on the
grass. And while he was doing this
Puss SPOKE to him-for the fisherman
was 50 busy that he hadn't noticed our

"What ala you do that for7" asked
the fisherman angrily-for I suppose he
thought Puss had thrown them back
into the sea.
ct was not my fault that they went
into the water" said Puss Indignantly.
And then he looked down at the grass
and saw that a little plant that grew here
and thore had been nIbbled by the FISH.

Puas Junior, and be curled his whlskers
and looked very wise. while the great
lum boring fisherman looked very sulklly
at him. for he was stil very angry at
losing his nsh and wouldn't believe that
Puss hadn't thrown them back into the
sea
This little plant has magic power"
said Puss. handing a sprig to the fisher
man.
"Nonscnsel" he replied. you are max

Taste it and you viii see,' replied
Puss And. would you believe 1t, as soon
a that big fisherman tasted the juice OF
that little plant his hair grew long and
turned into a beautiful seagreen color
and his legs formed themselves into a
nsh's tail, and away he Topped toward
the great blue sea; and when he was
in the water he turned around and
sang:
