MIERS FAMILY EXPRESS THANKS

The great sorrow which has come
into u home because of the taking
away of our dear husband and faith
er has brought to us so many evil
dences Of Christian love and genuine
sympathy that we feel that We must
make some public Acknowledgement
of our appreciation of what our
friends and neighbors tried to do.
1t seems that such a great number
have genuinely tried to share our
sorrow. But for the interest of
friends, we believe that the affliction
would be greater than we could bear.
We are deeply grateful for the in
terest shown while our Dear one
fingered between life and death and
for the kindly m~inistrations when he
had passed to the beyond. May Gods
richest blessings be and abide with

NEEDS OF YOUNG AMERICA
European Critic Thinks That Youth

George Santayana,. famous philoeo.

Il have made q severe effort to dis
v as well as I may from a dis
lance what these rebels want. I see
what they are against-they are
against everythi1g-but what are they
for3 have not been able to discover
1t. This may be due to my lack Of I'M
outstanding or to their incapacity to
express themselves clearly, for their
style Is something appalling. But per-
maps this scandalOus failure in D
sion, when expression Is what they
yearn for and demand at all costs,
may be q symptom of something deep
er; OF a radical mistake they have
made in the direction of their efforts
and aspirations. They think they need
more freedom, more room, a chance to
De more spontaneous. / suspect that
they have had too much freedom, too
much empty space, too much practice
In being spontaneous when there was
nothing In them to bubble out. Their
style Is a sign Of this; 1t Is not merely
that they have monastery of the Eng

clear Sense Of the value Of words, and
simplicity; that they are without

Reach heavens royal gate,
Just show her that you think of hel
Before it is too late.
If you've a tender message
Or a loving word to say,
Don't wait till you forget it,
But whisper it to-day.
Who knows what bitter memories
May haunt you if you wait?
SO make the loved one happy
Before it is too late.
We live but in the present,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
To-day is all our own;
The chance that future lends us
May vanish future we wait,
So give life's richest treasures
Before it is too late.
The tender word unspoken,
The letter never sent,
The long forgotten message,
The wealth of love unspent.
For these some hearts are breaking.
For these same loved ones wait,
U show them that you care for them

Many Visit Forests.

Value Of the national forests for
recreation is increasing by leaps and
bounds. Six million people visit the
forests annually to camp. fish. hunt,
hike, motor or rest, from all parts Of
the United StateA says the American
Forestry Magazine. R%ecreational use
Of these forests represents possibly
less than 1 per cent Of their total po-
tential use. The rapid Increase In
the number Of people deriving pleas
ure from the forests is due in large
part to their tecreahonal develop
ment by the forest service. Over a
thousand campgrounds have been set
apart and posted and recreational
permits have been issued for over
5000 summer homes cabins, hotels
and club houses.
