THUMBS UP ON AESOP

1t happened in the days of yore
that AesOp headlined as mOnOlogist
and even unto nOwatimes he is get
/ ting big billing on the movie screen.
Auditors of Aesop were usually guests
OF his more or less kindly master. So
they naturally listened with due aC-
cord. But, the tales were like unto one
of our vaudeville talk-fests nova
nights and matinees. Yea, these stor-
les were sure-ire entertainment and
they registered well. Then, Aesop
went to Delphi and got in wrong as is
saying OF the times. Unlike our
switchboard sisters at Central. the
oldtimer began to set right numbers.
Why he rang up so many plain truths
about some of the Listeners in" on
his fables that they detected whom he
meant even with his sugar coating
camouflage. Then, somebody whisper
ed into somebody elses ear that Ae-
sop, was stepping into the character
of a District Attorney. So, to pre-
serve order in their dusty domains the
Delphians, not the "Phillies," turned
down their thumbs on The great Ae-
sop, even as did the populace of Rome
III Tic IAluSS VI O6dSdT. Anu TO- AG-
sop was thrown into the sea. No doubt
he entered Davy ones locker on the
ocean bed where there was plenty of
wet goods to keep him in good spir-
it's.
1t has been said that a prophet is
not without honor save in his own
fiat, apartment, neighborhOod, or cOun-
try or city. Well, Aesop and his IA
bles were we'll preserved in spirits or
safe deposit vaults or something. And |
in the year 1921 the spirit of the |
worlds greatest story teller leaped |
into the mental machinery of Paul |
Terry, the cartoonist. Paul mixed 1O1 |
percent of fun with the old fables and |
made them into laugh provoking mo-
vies. Now in the theatres showing pic
lures called "Aesop's Film Fables"
audiences are laughing themselves in
to a state of happiness. And today,
thumbs are up on Aesop. He is a he
ro again and probably evermore, for
he's preserved in celluloid or what
ever cOmpOses movie film material.
Today applause means the same thing
as thumbs up did of yore and if ap-
plause is any criterion of popularity
at all, the public is giving "Aesops
Film Fables" big hand.

THE EARrH's .wAsTE P1.AuEs.-

IL may % o gooo thine Tor the human race that tho

familiar. Tor the production Of Agricultural crops
The area occupied by the Yellowstone Park. for In
stance, il occupied by arabic and fertile land, would pro-
vide food for a good many thousand people, Tt cannot
be so used. and because it cannot it has boon set aside
forever as a great garden of natural wonders, where
those who inhabit other districts can dnd pleasure and
inspiration IN viewing some of natures handiwork, un.
adorned and unspoiled.
We shall never grow crops on the heights of the great
mountain ranges OF. the world, but thousands of genera.
tons will view the majesty, the dignity and the beauty
OF these great natural monuments Byrons deep and
dark blue ocean" will roll on. dread. fathomlea. alone"
regardless Of the ships which gail over it and the crowds
which consregate on its shoreA
Stefansson tells US OF vast stretches Of northern eoun-
try which. because of its latitude and its topography, can
never Yield to cultivation. but which because Of the great
crops Of succulent grasses which grow upon it. may be.
come a great reservoir of meat for . considerable portion
OF our popultion, and steps are now being taken TO real
i've this very practical idea.
Many people have been wondering where our supply
of paper was coming ffom 4 few years hence. The pulp
wood forests from which the supply is now being drawn
are rapidly disappearing. There is always the possibility,
of course. that some method will be found of producing
on = scale large enough to meet the demand. from some
substance other than the wood now used. But failing
that, or while we are waiting for 1t. there se millions Of
acres Of untouched spruce forest in northern America,
Europe and Asia where. when power is developed and
transportation is supplied, the trees can be converted in
to commercial paper. And most Of the far northern
lands now covered BY such forests are at for nothing but
similar forest growth. In time the trees viii be cut down
and made into paper end lumber, but, with the use Of
@ns methods In removing the present growth and guard
Ing against Are. nature will provide new growth. and the
process may be repeated indefinitely.
The conditions are different IN most Of the heavy tim
Der districts. as the big trees often grow whore both
climatic and soil conditions are suitable. for agriculture.
In such eases the forests will be supplanted by grain helds.
But although big trees usually grow where the climate
will permit the raising of cultivated crops. the soil con-
ditions are often unfavorable. and here, again, We have
conditions where forest Erowth can be, and therefore
will be repeated.
II Is pretty hard to tall What parts Of the earth are
really waste. Most Of them will produce one thing il not
another, and even where they will not produce, they pre-
sent spectacles which, In their ssblimity, can be matched
by nothing reared by man.
