FIFTY YEARS OF FORESTRY

An editorial in The Washington Post for February 9 says: 'This year marks the Semicentenial of the creation of The Unit ed States Forest Service. It was in 1876 that the Commissioner of Agriculture, at the suggestion of the Association for the Advancement of Science, appointed pr. Franklin B. Hough to make thorough in vestigation into the forest situation Out of this investigation grew the bureau of for estry, and thru the work of that bureau mil lions of acres of timberland have been pre- served: forest reserves have been created, and great strides have been made towards the education of tn people to the need of conservation of the timber resources. In celebration of the senicentenial of the awakening to the conditions which confront the country in the matter of timber supply. The American Tree Association is prepared to distribute, gratis, 100000 Forestry Prim- CTS in hope that the study of these pamph- lets will induce the American People to look ahead for 50 years, for if they refuse to do this, Uncle Sam will have to do some look ing outside his own territory for his wood supply.

The recent death of Henry Holt, famed New York publisher, at the age of S6, re calls his famous apothegm concerning whiskey, uttered on his SOth birthday: "Any young man who drinks whiskey is fool and any old man who doesn't is another" He failed to state just where he drew the line, but keeping away from liquor until the age of 80 would probably be fairly good rule.

~ nee there a Family that waited impatently
q j for the Advent of Spring. The Season had not
yet shown, except in the Magazines. If one
looked at the Cover of any hghclass Periodical it
evident that the Vernal Season. with Autumn Flowers in
her Hair and resembling Maryn Miller in Dancing Cos

and jolly Pedestrians wearing Lumberjack Goats and

To put the Matter into a Nutshell, Winter had ling

Nothing.
The House itself kind Of modified Colonial with
suggestion of the defunct Queen Anne and few
classified Details which the Builders have thrown in
for Good Measure.
The whole Tout Ensemble of the Exterior decent
and respectable and devoid of Ornament but probably
would have caused any Aesthetic to have Case of Rabies
and fall to the Ground and froth at the Mouth.
The Inside of the Residence rather rambling and
