THE EARTH-FENcER
BY Frank l. Stanton.

He tried to fence the earth In,
And no said: "I'll make it sooni"
Then he hankered for the gold mines
That are yonder in the moon.
And he said: Before I'm done
I'll make the airships run
To the silver that Is shinin'
On the surface OF tho SUM"
But he came to the conclusion
This here terrestrial ball
wuz too big a proposition
For one man to own IL all.
New wisdom made him wise
"And." said he, I'll compromise:
I think about ten acres

Press Comment
Reforestation is a Live Problem

Reforestation is a Live Problem
The attention of this country is be-
ginning to turn to the problem of re-
forestation OF our cut-over lands.
When the country was new, there was
a consuming desire to get rid of the
forest which clothed the land. and
hindered its cultivation. Magnificent
forests which had been growing for
centuries, were hewn down. and splen-
did tree boles as ever gladdened the
eye of skillful sawyer, were piled in
log heaps and burned or split into
rails for the making of the old time
worm fence.
But the end came at last. The vast
forests of the north were stripped OF
their merchantab BILE timber and great
pine barrens left to witness to the de-
struction man had wrought. Then the
sawmills attacked the great pine for
ests Of the southern coastal plain.
Now, the advancing prices is ap-
preaching, and the matter Of refor-
eststion is having a respectful hear
ing.
Climatic changes depend on the de-
struction of the forest which are
scarcely less important than the di-
minishing lumber supply. Violent and
leaving a trail of destruction.
There are. no great forests to i'm
pede and defect their course. The
forest conserved the rainfall, forcing
it to seep down slowly through their
leafy depths, furnishing moisture to
thirsty land when it was most needed.
Now it runs off speedily over the max
ed land to the creeks and rivers, and
long drouths follow. Again the melt
ing OF the SHOWS in the northern
states floods the rivers. in the spring
turning them into mighty engines of
destruction. How many millions of
dollars have been spent to save the
cotton planters of the lower MISSISSIPPI
pi?
Another view, of interest to dwell
ers on the Ridge, where citrus fruits
flourish in greatest perfection, is the
effect Of deforestation upon the eli
mate. 1t is well-known that orange
trees thrived in northern Florida 40
years ago. They do so no longer The
cutting and turpentining of the vast
pine forests began in that section, and
as the forests disappeared citrus Gull
ture was driven further and further
south.
The pine forests break the force of
cold. destroying winds, conserve mois-
ture and reduce the chances of frost,
besides contributing needed humus to
our sandy soils. They will be cut
down, for mankind needs the lumber
to build homes, but they should be re-
planted as fast or faster than they
are cut. The annual fires which sweep
over the land killing the young growth,
and making the land barren and I'M
productive should be prohibited. We
have a duty toward future genera
lions which we should not neglect

The Urban Nation

More than one-half of the people of
the United States are crowded into
cities and towns of over $500 popu-
lation. No wonder there is a shortage
Of houses in the cities and a herding
together of the inhabitants which
BODIES i'll for the health and morals
of the nation.
When all the vast territory which
lies outside Of these towns is consid-
cred, and when it is remembered that
most of 1t could be made to yield a
decent living with little more effort
and less sacrifice than required to
make living in town. the mind of
poor, struggling humanity is harder
than ever to understand.
Hard times in the cities will helpAto
remedy the conditions a little. But
what is needed most is a better sense
of values, a better appreciation of the
things which God gives free in the
country-fresh air, sunlight, freedom
and space-and a lessened regard for
the man made things in town which
rob the soul and body and purse

Another man was seated next to
Burke, reading a copy of the Wash

tai food, he neatly folded the paper
and placed il next to the man from

man. He also noticed the paper on

Tain't my paper answered
Burke. Il just gave it back to the
man who loaned il to me-"
The policeman again ordered the
man to take the paper away with

was arrested.
Judge Mcmahon heard the police
mans story and then listened a
while to Burke, and dismissed
charge of violating the park regu-
