RefOrestation Gains Ground

Illinois, never a wood producing
state in the sense that Wisconsin was
not so long ago, is giving serious
thought to the growing of trees. The
same movement Is springing up in
Ohio. This indicates that the grow
ing Of timber is to become vital
issue in the economic program of
Wisconsin's neighbors.
The Illinois Forestry association is
backing an extensive state program
for the protection and development
of forests. Illinois does not like the
freight bill it is paying for bringing
lumber from places as distant as the
Pacific coast. The association fig
ures thAl the freight bill for Chicago

every able-bodled citizen Of military
age into service However, many per

Spring in the Country

People who live in cities used to
think they were enjoying the delights
of country life if they would take a
short vacation in the rural districts
in the heat of midsummer. At that
time the country was often so parched

The city folks who never witnessed
the gradual unfolding of spring in a

they need to start from the earliest
days of reviving nature. If they live
in a snowy country, they should

The first swelling of buds has a
charm that the city man hardly

For the first time in its history

Probably no more notable list Of
achievements has been recorded dur
ing the past year than Is represented
by Norma Talmadge's new series of
productions for First National, of
which "Smilin Through" was the first.
Scotch in locale and dealing with a
time and place both distant, this
exquisite perturbation of the Jane
Cowl play enlisted the Talmadge tai
ents to the full. Immediately follow
ing this came THE Eternal Flame, y

Miss Talmadge turned to the task of
breathing life into the character OF

1t evidently was called to the stars
attention that none of her recent pro-
ducttons had dealt with an American
subject or had it's locale in this coun-

speedily remedied by the visualiza-

gross business in excess of 100000
