 Chief Purpose of Reservation
 While the summit of Mohawk will be used for lookout station, this is by no means the chief purpose of this new state forest. The total area of the six state forests is now about 5000 acres. Their main purpose is raise timber for the people and industries of Connecticut, and to equalize. stream flow. The same policy will be pursued with the Mo hawk as with the other state forests. A map will be made and plan de- veloped describing accurately each section of forest and prescribing the treatment to makes3it most produc- tive. The open land will be planted with valuable forest trees (mostly pines) as soon as available funds per init. On areas which have recently come up to tree growth, the undesir- able kinds will be weeded out, and the openings planted with pines. This will result in mixed growth of such valuable trees as hickory, ash, oak and pine.
 In its purchase of state forests the state is limited by law to lands which can be bought for $8 an acre or less. The result is that only cut-over or open land can be bought, and it will be great many years before mature timber can be raised and the meth ods of harvesting illustrated. Most of the land included in the Mohawk gift is covered with partly grown forets and is therefore worth much more than $1 an acre. Here it will be possible to illustrate within a few years the difference between the usual mthod of cutting off young growing forest for their inferior product, and of harvesting a mature forest for it's valuable product. At present the only treatment of these sands will be the removal of the chestnut which has been killed by the bark disease.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
July 31, 1921. ME.

July 31, 1921.
 Two Harbors, Minn. To the Editor of the News:
 Why is it the President and the big fellows in Congress are so wor- ried about giving the returned sol diers little help in the shape of a bonus?
 It doesn't look much like grati- tude by men who were making mon ey by leaps and bousds, yes, millions of it, while our boys were fighting in France It was the pie of the very gentlemen who oppose giving our soldiers the help they desire, and the most of the men in Congress are in terested in big business, and now they are greatly excited and in' a terrible stew for the reason a little help is desired by our returned and disabled soldiers. ...-.
 They say it would not be safe for this country to grant this bonus now, and they want to have their taxes cut down and I suppose they would like to have them abated altogether if they could make that work.
 As to helping our returned sol diers that would never do, at this time, it would bankrupt the nation if this was done and they want to have all of their big money making business to go on with out any hindrance.
 I think the soldiers are rightly entitled to the aid they ask for and if our law makers in Washington would cut out some of our big battleships and other big projects that they all the time are voting for, they could easily help our soldiers and there would be no danger of the country going on the rocks. I think this talk of league of nations to keep the peace of the world is merely a will of the wisp something that can never be attained. There have been wars since the beginning of time, and there will be wars as long as mankind is covetous of wealth and power.
 So as a matter of justice to the defenders of our flag and nation our soldier boys should be treated generously. 5
 That is my opinion, what is yours, MT. Editor?
 From an old Canaanite, Chas. A. Harris, Two Harbors, Minn.

HUNTING 5Es ssS Sss .. .s.F.

The first few mild days of spring invariably witness a general cleaning up of fishing paraphernalia, while the snappy evenings of late summer and early fall are more or less given over to cleaning shot guns and rifles. The great outdoor world is calling lovers of nature to witness its beauties by pond or stream, ia field or on mountain tops. All have united in a conspiracy to lure man from his daily tasks. ..ts<~
 With the first icy blasts from the far north will come flocks of ducks, geese and other migratory birds, not in such numbers as twenty-five, years ago, but still plentiful enough to make it interesting for the experi- enced hunter. Then follows a slaughter of the innocents. Many birds will be killed and others so badly wounded that they will die merely to satisfy the vain ambitions of man.
 Few people really take pleasure in shooting game birds or animals, aside from the notoriety gained when a good bag is gotten. Our native do- mesticated ducks are far superior to the wild, while a choice piece of veal or chicken is more palatable than deer or rabbit. It is the sport of hunting that leads to the destruc- ion of game, not the need of food or it's desirability over that which may be obtained in the market.
 There is one way to hunt that is fully as enjoyable, which has nc closed season and does not destroy the game birds or animals. That way is with a good camera. The same outdoor exercise can be obtained while the game is increasing instead of decreasing and the pleasure o1 the hunt is spread out over lifetime No moth-eaten trophies will clutter your den, but living ikenesses o: birds and beasts that will be source of pleasure for ever.

ANOTHER GIFT FOR
 FORESTRY PURPOSES
(Continued from page 1)

Continued from page 1
 ,yistas of the last century, a local company was formed, to buy and Mountain, and for many years a high tower marked the summit and was favorable resort for the sort of people who like that sort of thing. Long ago it blew down or burned down, but now the donors have zprovided for another tower, from which forest lookout will watch county during the fire seasons, and from which the sort of people who like that sort of thing may also look down on the world and smile.
 Uncle Sam himself will help pay the watchman, as the federal govern ment co-operates with the state of Connection in any measures which will reduce he fire hazard. The best way to prevent forest fires is for everyone to be careful with his camp fire, his cigarette, or his used match, but as there are still a great many careless people the next best method is to discover fire before it has got under hadway and put it out.
 As to Forest Fires
 The automobilist who throws his cigarette stub into the dry leaves by the Litchfeld highway might be in Boston before the fire is noticed, if there is no one particularly inter ested. In the course of a few hours such fire with high wind could be practically beyond control. In all of the Connecticut towns there are fire wardens who have become proficient in putting out fires. They know that they can accomplish more with one automobile full of workers the first hour of the fire, than they can with twenty men after fire is once fairly under way. The lookout stations are for this purpose. They are equip ped with telephones and someone's is constantly on the watch during fire seasons. As soon as smoke, is observed in a wooded section it is reported by phone to the warden of that region. In this way it is often possible to extinguish a fire within an hour after, it is first discovered twenty miles away. .-
 The new station on Mohawk will cooperate with one already existing in Norfolk and from these two stations it will be possible tc overlook most of the land in Litch. field County, and some of that in the western side of Hartford County This locality is particularly desirable flor a station because Cornwall Litchfeld and Torringtori. 4ai I bad fire towns.

According to all indications, the big
demand by home builders for several
years to come will be for small homes.
thousands Of families, in an effort TO
get away from the exorbitant rents of
the apartments in the cities, will build
MONIES OF tffelr own, md because of
the cost and their limited means. these
homes will necessarily be small. But
they will be as complete and Just as
modern as any pretentious home on an
exclusive boulevard. The building art
has been developed to the point where
the small home can supply the same
comforts and conveniences that the
larger and more expensive one has
heretofore had alone.
With small home the man is not
worried over rents, not worried over
a place for his children; he has plenty
OF room to turn around in, plenty of
fresh air to breathe. And he is an in
dependent citizen keenly interested in
