Tree Planting

Ancient and Modern Culture

To compare ancient Egypt, or the
Valley of the Kings, and all they have
beQueathed to us, brought to light
from time to time by excavation.
with material discovery, such as
steam. electricity and the like, through
other scientific channels would be
ridiculous. But archaeological dis
coveries as the harnesslng of those
powers to our uses are the only real
advantage other than the science of
medicine, that modern civilization may
claim over that of the ancients.
Again, though we cannot become inti-
mate with those ancient people In the
living, by archaeological research work
we can become intimate with their
dead and the material they have be-
queathed US. As result of such
research, we find that culture In the
way Of intellectual development and
the arts in general were In those most
ancient times in many ways higher
than they are today. In fact, mod
ern progress In the mechanical
sciences and industrialism generally
are largely responsible for the com
plete eclipse of spontaneous and un-
conscious artistic production If there
by we get such ultimate results as
cubism and futurism, then archeOlog-

Where Wives Are Boss

What IL visiting sea captain calls
"he harems' are to be found among
the Marquesas islands of the South
seas. The bulky, brown AmazUnian
women are unspoilt by association
with oriental ideas, and collect half
a dozen husbands or more. The col
lection is done by the simple expedl-
ent of driving the man with bamboo
pole into the harem, thrashing him
well to make him thoroughly under
stand who is in command-and set
ting him to work on the coconut plan
tation or at the hOusewOrk. These
conditions only obtain in the islands
that are unvisited by steamships.
The windjammer trader is the only

Last Sunday the pastor took up a
theme Of live interest, Creation.
The arguments supporting the Bible
account of creation advanced were
first that the prime purpose of the
writer of the account was to show
that life and this universe was God
centered. While we may believe all
things revolve around the sun and the
ancients thought all things reyolved
around the earth, in reality all things
find their center in God. Further,
any quarrel today is not between sch
ence and religion, but between sci
ence and theology. Again science has
advanced nothing new, simply reiter-
ating in modern language old-time
truths people have believed for ages,
that the Bible account, while not in
tended to be treatise on geology
and other ologies, nevertheless is
honored by. science in science con-
forming to the progression of creation
as stated therein.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE PROCLAIlIS
FOREST PROTECTION WEEK

1914 million dollars. Since four-fifths
of the fires are caused by man, there
is big chance for reducing this
damage and saving the timber to
build homes,
In the southwest according to Dis
trict Forester F. G. w. Pooler, the
loss is still much greater than it
should be. "Last year careless peo-
pie caused 249 fires on the national
forests alone," said Mr.. Pooler, "and
no one knows how many more were
started on private lands. We hope
this year that this number will be
considerably reduced.
IF people will give the presidents
words serious thought during Forest
Protection week and then remember
that any carelessness with fire in the
forests during our spring dry season,
may cause large losses" continued
Mr.. Pooler, "much of this needless
destruction will be avoided"
President Coolidge's proclamation
in full is:
BY the President of the United
States of America.
A PROCLAMATION
Whereas, 1t is essential to the con-
tinued comfort, welfare and prosper
ity of the people of the United States
that abundant forests, widely Mstrib-
uted and maintained in condition of
high productiveness, be forever wisely
conserved as one of our greatest nat
ural resources; and
Whereas, because of our constantly
increasing need for wood and other
products, together with our past
failure to provide for reforestation,
we are drawing upon our supplies of
timber four times as fast as they are
renewed through growth; and
Whereas, the most formidable
agency of forest destruction and pre-
vention of reforestation is fire and,
of the fires which annually devastate
vast areas, four-fifths are ascribed in
origin to human agencies and virtual
ly all may be controlled and made in
nocuous through prudence, care, and
vigilance;
Therefore, l.. Calvin Coolidge, pres
ident Of the United States, do urge
upon IHB SOfETuOfS VI LIE NnliUuo
states to designate and set apart the
week of April 21-27, 1924, as Forest
Protection week, and, wherever prac-
ticable and not in conflict with state
law or accepted customs, to celebrate
Arbof day within that week. / also
urge all citizens, either in associations
or as individuals, all schools, and the
press Of. the land to give common
thought to the protection of our for
ests from fire, to the end that, in the

may supply US with wood, protect the
