The Hope OF Eternity.

Tiansiency Is stamped on all our
possessions, occupations and delights.
We have the hunger for eternity In
our souls, the thought of eternity In
our hearts, the destination for eter-
nity written on our lnmOst being. and
the need to ally ourselves with eternity
proclaimed by the most short-lived
trifies of time. Either these things
will be the blessing or the curse Of
our lives. Which do you mean that

CHARLESTOWN, r. l.. Dec. 81
Little locomotives are humping over
newly laid rails on the corduroy

plowing its way through the muck I;

and the ring Of the axe is heard in
the depths OF a forest IN this town
to which few white men previously
had penetrated. The great Indian
Swamp is in the early stages Of
Transformation into a market
garden.
Already 200 acres have been
drained and cleared. On this next
spring members Of the faculty Of
Rhode Island State College will
conduct a demonstration in cult
walton.
The swamp, a little more than
two miles long and with an average
width of two miles and a half, Is
heavily tmbered. White pine, cedar,
oak and maple predomnate. Some
sured three feet in diameter, and
each OF these when sawed made
1000 feet or more Of lumber.
Workmen are now engaged on
the last lap Of a broad road cut
straight through the swamp for the
logging railroad. Large quantities Of
timber and cordwood already have
been hauled out. The steam holster,
installed on a fiat car, shoots out It's
steel cables and hauls the great
sleds, each loaded with fnom three
20 ten tons OF logs. TO the side OF
the railroad II IS utilized also for
pulling stumps.
The dredge has advanced half a
mile from the starting point Of the
main canal which Is being dug for
drainage purposes. and which will
extend the length OF the swamp and
back along the other side. When
completed the canal will be utilized
also for floating out logs. There will
be two 6-foot cross bitches.
Il is estimated that 100000 feet
OF logs and 5000 cords Of firewood
will be logged off the tract. Five
years is the time scheduled from the
start of reclamation 10 the final pre-
paration of the land for truck farm
ing. The swamp IS rich IN muck de-
posits which promise great fertility

The promoters, says Schwab's re-
port, share their loot principally
with expert publicity men and
brokerage concerns. These often re-
ceive as much as so per cent Of

That means so cents of the in

crown that sits upon Jack Dempsey S
head, today was standing with re-
luctant feet where the champs and

Last night the French boxing fed
Grafton snatched away his title of
light heavyweight champion of

hours before, the black conqueror Of
Georges Carpenter had stumbled into
another block of hard luck, the Brit
ish home office forbiddinc his schcd-
uled fight with Joe Beckett to take
place on British soil.
The action by the English authori-
tics was taken because Sikh is a
colorcd man and Beckett is white
ana it was deemed that "all sorts of
passions would be aroused" if they
met in the ring. But the ban the
french have put upon Sikh was
caused by an overt act. Wednesday
night when he was acting as sec
ond for Erode DeBalzac. he jumped

knocked out, and struck the manager
of the victorious battlcr, Maurice
