JUST FOLKS
ALL IN THE GAME.
BY Edgar A. Gue-t.

So you've scraped your shin and you've
bumped your knee.
And you're just as sore as boy can be.
And they roughed you there when you
tripped and fell;
But all of the hurts will soon get well,
So don't fret over bumps you've had.
For they are all in the game, my lad.
They were stronger than you? Well,
guess that's true.
For your little body is black and blue.
And they tackled hard when you had
the ball
And Jour shoulder hurts where you
chanced to fall,
And some of them cheated-well,
that's too bad.
But that is all in the game. my lad.
And you lost the game. but your dad
won't care
If only you tell him your play was fair.
Why, the little hurts will soon be gone,
But the scar of the cheat says on
and on
SO take this truth from your doting
dad
It's better to lose than to cheat, my lad
Some day when you're older grown
you'll find
You must stand to hurts of soreI
kind;
Men will batter and bruise and cheat
you, too,
And they'll stoop 70 things that yol
mustn't do,
But you still must smile when youi
heart is sad,
For that's all part of life's game

FORESTS AND NATIONAL LIFE.

No less important than the direct
use Of lumber in industry are the in
direct effects of the forest on national
life. Like the air. the river. and the
soil, the forests have n, general func-
ton in national life far broader than
their commercial significance. Pend
ing laws TO prevent timber shortage
are thus fundamental i'm our national
welfare.
Forests help to maintain high
water table in the soil. without which
agriculture would be impossible. They
prevent too rapid evaporation and
help maintain an even flow in rivers
They prevent sudden floods and sum-
mer dry bottoms Ground waters are
profoundly affected by forests.
Forests regulate tho temperature
of the air and soil 10 n moderate ex-
tent and spare growing crops sudden
chills and changes that would be
fatal. The crowns OF the trees inter-
cept the ravs OF 'he sun and the fall
ing rain; they hinder the free move
ment OF air currents and reduce rada-
tton. They increase humidity.
They tend to increase rainfall, for
estry experts agree. though just how
much is not known. They add 10 the
soil fertility.
The long roots of many trees along
a river bank hold the soil firmly and
prevent erosion. iandslips, avalanches

to many young men who have an in

THE LONG WINTER

THE winter win be long and

goosebone lore; the signs and
tokens all agree that there'h be
weather fierce TO see, and
stormy winds will roar. The lit
tie creatures Of the woods have
stored up nuts and other goods
in quantities immense; In hunt
ing deep and stornproof lairs
the groundhogs and the grizzly
bears have manifested sense.
The bark is thicker on the trees"
the prophets say; such signs
as these were never known 20
fail; well have a winter long
and stern. and he who'd have
some coal 10 burn should salt
away his kale." The signs and
tokens all agree. and yet the
seers don't worry me, for always
they are wrong; never knew a
prophet yet on whom a man
might safely bet; the winter
won't he long. The winter won't
be long or cold, since length and
ferceness are foretOld by these
prophetic boys; the skies will be
serene and clear, and Gentle
Annie will appear. and raise a
cheerful noise. There may be
sundry puffs of snow, and now
and then cold winds may blow.
but they viii wink out soon;
when all the prophets are agreed
that winter viii be fierce indeed,
it's sure TO be like June. When
prophets differ We can't guess
what sort of elemental stress is
scheduled to appear; but when
they're all agreed we know that
nothing they predict is so, and
thus our course is clear.
