Waste Lands Near Home.

The United States seeks to map out
and adopt a national policy with re-
gard to conservation of forest re-
sources and reforestation' ''in which
the federal government. the states and
private interests" will be called on to
cooperate. The Senate has q special
committee on this subject. Sawmills
and fire are destroying American tim
Der at an alarming rate, and provision
for replanting the land with trees is
50 far below the needs that it is scarce.
ly worth mentioning. One can get q
small picture near Washington Of the
waste Of woodland. 1t has been many
generations since there have been in
tho region Of Washington "forests' in
the western and southern sense, but
there were numerous and goodly
stretches Of reeland which we called
woods and pines" Their destruc-
don has gone on and on, and only a
small section Of the old treeland has
been put under crop growth. Most Of
1t, stripped Of everything marketable
AZ lumber, ties, poles, pulp and cord
wood, has bsen left to grow up rs best
it could. There has been no appreci.
able effort at replanting or clearing
out the brush that a stand Of timber
trees might be developed, and very lit
tie Of the land has been cleared for
corn, wheat and tobacco. One can
travel through many miles Of these
lands in the lever Potomac counties
Of Maryland and Virginia.

and one Of the purposes Of such in.
corporation has bssn the collection and
preservation Of family records. In the
case of the New York family Of Bala-
ban there are nine incorporators, and
the purposes Of the corporation IN.
clude to maintain q place Of meeting
where members of the corporation
may gather to discuss various political
and social questions, to render volun-
tary aid and financial assistance to
members Of the corporation, to foster
good Fellowship and friendship among
the members. to learn from each other
and teach each other American prin-
ciples and to learn Of American insti-
tutions by means Of social gatherings,
lectures and discussions" These are
reasons for Incorporation which will
favorably impress the minds of many
Americans. and they may wish that
many other families, native and non-
native. might incorporate themselves
for like purposes. The question may
suggest itself why it should be aeces-
sary or convenient for q. family to in.
corporate itself to discuss family af-
fairs, politics, social questions and
American institutions, hut there il no
need to answer such question. II a
family wants to incorporate itself to
hold meetings for such purposes one
should let 1t go at that. If articles Of
Incorporation tend to promote or pre-.
serve harmony and good fellowship in
a family the experiment Is worth
watching by great many native
American families.

Says Memorials Exemplify Lasting Democracy.

these great superstructures, yet,
solid as thesefoundations may seem.
certain agencies of weathering are
silently and slowly disintegratinG
them until the superstructures will
f1nally crumbfe and fall, though 1t
takes countless ages. for they are
material
Our portraits may never hang In
the halls Of fame nor our names be sung
at the millions of firesides Of this
tion upon which the names of these
illustrious men and the principles of
democracy which they advocated
rest.
Each year. as the millions of
people in the United States become
mass of humanity, with many
agencies at work trying to break up
the foundation which now supports
the principles laid down and per-
petuated by these two men,. 1t Is nee
essary that we bind ourselves to-
gether with the cement of brotherly
love by the recognition Of the father
hood Of God and the brotherhood
Of Christ and man, so that this ma
tion and the principles for which it
stands may never perish.
Lying between these two memo
rails is body of clear blue water
known as "the mirror lake" which
reflects the images of this stately
monument ana magnlncent building.
If surface water full OF inert mat
ter flows into 1t and is stirred up.
we can no longer see these memo
rials reflected
We. the people OF this great ma
ton, are a. mirror through which the
principles of democracy must be re-
fiected. Should our lives and hearts
be 50 clouded with foreign matter 20
the extent that these principles OF
democracy can no longer be reflect
ed? We should purge ourselves OF all
impurities by, figuratively, passing
through the garden of Gethsemane,
as did these men at Valley Forge and
Gettysburg, until our lives are puri-
fed, so that our children and all fu-
ture generations may see the prin-
ciples of equal rights, freedom and
justice in us as they are reflected in the
lives and works of these two great
Americans-Washin and Lincoln.
If these two lessons are strictly
followed, though these memorials
may crumble and fall, vet the prin
ciples for which they stood will live
| forever. OSCAR M. MILLER.
