as simply case of nerves that the whole

Millions of Acres 81 Land Unsuited

Growing TImber-More Money

Observation-Disclosures purchases by
the government of forest lands in the
southern Appalachian and White
mountains, to relieve the present
shortage Of timber in those regions,
are advocated by the national forest
reservation commission In a report
just issued, entitled Progress of Pur-
chase of Eastern National Forests"
This commission tis the body author
lied to pass on timber land purchases
made under the Weeks Law. and Is
.composed of tlic secretaries Of dgfiejil-
ture, interior and war, and four mem
bers Of the congress.
"The supply of spruce in the eastern
United States available for paper stock
is nearly exhausted" the publication
states, Eastern building material Is
no longer adequate fully to meet In
dustrial demands, the future supply OF
hardwoods is threatened and will not
be sufficient unless prompt measures
are taken for maintaining the produc-
tivity Of the hardwood forests"
The situation can be helped materi-
ally, says the report, by arranging that
lands not suitable for agricuture-of
which there are 100000 acres in the
eastern mountains-shall be used for
growing timber. Of this 100000
acres approximately $500 acres
have been purchased by the govern
ment under the provisions of the
Weeks law, which authorizes the ac-
QUESTION of lands on the head waters
of navigable streams for inclusion
within national forests.
Additional Appropriation Needed.
Appropriations totalng $11,G00,0OC
have already been made under the
Weeks law, and the expenditure Of all
but about 100000 Of the amount avail
able for purchasing lands has been

DOG SAVES CHILDREN'S LIVES
Barking AlredaIe Terrier Arouses
Family Asleep in Burning Home
In Wisconsin.

Kenosha, Wis.-The lives of three
motherless children and their father
were saved at an early hour by Jewel,
an Airedale terrier, who discovered
the fire that was rapidly destroying
the home of Carl Wenderoth, aud
aroused the family by cIawing and
barking at the burning door.
Mr.. Wenderoth awoke to find the
house afire and the roof over the room
in which he and the children were
sleeping about to fall in. He was bad
ly burned about the hands, face and
neck while carrying the children to a
place Of safety.
Jewel was tied to a wire clothes line,
which ran from the house to the ken
mel. He sensed that the fire meant
danger for his master and his three
playmates and dragged his leash along
the wire until he could reach the door.

NtVfE ssts
sVlshnu in Mythology.

vishnu is the second god in the
Hindu triad. When he first appears
in Vedlc times, he is simply the god
of the shining armament, the younger
brother of Indra, and inferior to him
In dignity. The higher rank was ac-
corded to him by later writers. The
Brahmanic myths relating to Vishnu
are characterized by the idea that
whenever great physical or moral dis
order affected the world, Vishnu
descended in a small portion of his
essence to set it right. He lis gener-
ally represented as having four arms
each hand holding some particular
object, and as riding on being half
man and half beast. His most en-
thusiastic followers are generally
drawn from the middle classes Of
Hindu society. His mark on their
foreheads is a trident, with a yellow
prong in the center and a white one
on each side.

times burned alive in order to bring
an end to the evil practice of witches.
1t was held that witches could not
be extermnated in any other way.
Howe's Ohio history records a
story of this kind, said to. be on
the records of the common pleas
court of Lawrence county. The story
was brought out in the trial of a
claim for imposition in a horse sale
in 1929 The purchaser claimed that
he had8been cheated, that the horse,
insteadApf being sound, was sick when
sold to Ehim, and died soon afterward.
The defendant who had sold the
horse Claimed that the animal was
not sick, but was bewtched, and in
supportisof his contention told of a

had beHn bewitched. The owner of
the COW was convinced Of the fact,

the important hardwood and spruce re-
gions Of the Appalachian and White
mountains. In II of these, purchases
have been made. Since the purchase
program was developed other states,
including Ke' lucky, have enacted leg
isation authorizing the acquisition OF
lands for national forest purposes. To
carry out the purchase program as
outlined by the commission an appro-
priatlon of 100000 per year for
period of five years, beginning with
the fiscal year 1921, has been recon-
mended by the commission.
The average price OF the ,934
acres whose acquisition has been au-
thorized by the commission is $5.26
per acre.
All of the lands bought are capable
of producing valuable crops OF timber
During the fiscal year 1919 receipts
for timber sold from the area then
acqulred-1347 $50 acres-amounted
to $7l,942 under the conservative
method of cutting practIced by the gov
