A NEW FARM CROP

A suggestion that the
agricultural problem might
be solved to some extent if
poor farm lands were con
verted into forests, was made
by President Coolidge in
proclaimnig April "a to 30,
American Forest Week, .
and recommending its obser-
vance to the Governors Of the
48 States.
"0ne-fourlh Of our soil, =
The President said, is better
suited to timber growing
Than anything else. ! cannot
escape the conviction that
our industrial and agricui-
iural stability will be
strengthened by bringing in
TO full productive use this
great empire of land.
Although much progress
has been made in public
forestry, and hopeful begin
nings in private industry, we
still have vast aggregate Of
idle or semi-idle forest land,
and another large aggregate
of poor farm land that might
more profitably grow timber
instead of adding to the
problem of agricultural over
production.
Our migratory forest in
dusries would be stabilized
and made permanent. Rural
industry would be greatly
strengthened and vitalized.
Agriculture would find in
silviculture a strong ally,
providing markets for farm
produce and for surplus
labor. Our farms themselves

WHY THEY WANT
COOLIDGE

Wilbur NJ. White, editor
of the Toledo, Ohio, Times,
an independent newspaper
politically, recently remarked
in an address that the people
are Tired of hell raisers,'' as
he put it. He noted that their
act in voting for a hard
shelIed conservative Yankee"
against more radically
minded but brilliant lawyer,
was due to the fact that they
are drawing away from the
spectacular. Uncle Sam had
been off on a spree" he re-
marked, ''and he is coming
home TO find that the wife
and the kids are pretty good
after all" The country has
been deluged for some years
now with radical, cynical and
destructive thought, in the
field of politics, economics,
morals, literature and every
thing else. The people are
getting sick and tired of it
and they show what they
think about it by voting for
people like Cal Coolidge.

THOUGHTS ON THE
SEASONS.

The seasons all Of Them
are beautiful in This South
Jersey of ours.
One may take great delight
in the beautiful days OF
spring, and another enjoy the
warm days of the summer.
SILL another may look for
ward to the coming of the
fall months, and few may
watch for winter, with its
snow and crisp GOODNESS.
But whatever month one
enjoys most, the change in
the season always pleases, if
the Jump to the next extreme
is not so pleasant TO look for
ward too.
Springtime is the season
of The year which, to the
minds of the greater majority
of The people, is the most
welcome and the most beauti-
full. Then life, so it seems,
starts anew after winter
when everything was desolate
and opportunity had been
given for one to forget that
Mother Nature is yet present,
Each blade Of grass, as it
greens into lis carpet, each
bursting tree bud, every
flower, pushing its way to-
wards the sun in response to
The warm days, carries lis
own message of winters
passing.
The birds sing ii as they
return from their foreign
field. Man himself is given a
rare opportunity to forget
the troubles Of the winter,
and look forward with the
view of an optimist to the
better days which are com
ing.
As summer approaches,
and the flowers bloonf, moth
ing is more pleasant than to
walk through this Mainland
of ours, smelling fragrant
smells of blooming growths,
listening to the nest building
activities of the birds. home

sunshine which ha en-
couraged all of this.
Beautiful homes, beautiful
lawns, and well kept gardens
are seen ON everyside. Trees

~ GLORIOUS TRUTH"

"A GLORIOUS TRO r."
Thy Faith Hath Made Thee
Whole. Matt. 1922.
One of the most comforting and
heartcbeering thoughts with which
every child Of God, can be made
conscious and enjoy. is when We
are knowing, when reading the
miracles He wrought, that Jesus is
the same yesterday, today, and for
ever.
Thine, o, Lord is the greatness,
and the power and the glory and
the victory and the majesty: for
all that is in the Heaven and in
the earth is thine. Thine is the
kingdom both riches and honor
come Of thee, and in thine hand is
power and might: And in thine
hand it is to make great and to
give strength unto all"
Ny soul makes its boast in the
Lord-For a long time in my ex-
perience has been stream Of
answered prayers Many Of them
have been unexplainable, marvel
Gus, while others have been
miraculous in their being answered
before offered.
Enlarging experiences, increasing
knowledge are glorious results of
growth in grace The revelations
that follow reveal wonderful pos
slbilities IN the spiritual. realm.
1hey become the experience Of
only those whose lie recognizes
Its own dignity and keeps the
grandeur of eternity in view.
The narrative from which our
text is taken, brings US on sacred
ground. The miracle wrought was
one wherein results were in har-
mony with higher laws than those
generally known.
In this miracle a sick woman
pressed through the crowd, knelt
on the ground, touched His gar
ment and was healed In her
ignorance she thought if she could
but touch His clothes, she could
be healed. Jesus saw into the
!
deepest chambers Of her heart, and
told her that it was not the touch
Of his garment, but her own faith
that acted as the medicinal
agency"
| The touch was the symbol but
the faith drove the disease from
her system. She said within herself,
IF I may but touch his garment.
I shall be whole" But Jesus when
he saw her said, Daughter, be Of
good comfort, thy faith hath made
/ thee whole" and the woman was
made whole from that hour
Dear Reader:-Faith is omni-
potent, IF thou canst believe all
things are possible to Him that
beieveth."

Gods Children

As Gods children we look

If child OF God? That is the
natural question that our very
existence asks, And, in the per-
lection of eternity, the dream of

1t is our nature to look ahead,

hope for the larger and richer ex-

come to know more and more the
Creator and to compare to His
glory the fact OF our own exist

The world limits our senses. All

Whatever is worldly ends. But
our human experience gives US an
inkling of life of the spirit, of
the soul, of that which is apart
from the body, of that which is
not earthly. Therein lies our hope

The desire for perfection is
deep in us. We go on searching

MEDICAL MEN
ENDING TERM

Ending one of the most notable
Sessions in its history-one that has
placed the American medical pro-
fession on record as opposed to
several fundamentals of the present
prohibition laws-the American
Medical Association today prepared
to adjourn.
Already there is an exodus from
Washington of the 1900 physi.
clans and friends. The achieve.
ments of medical science during the
past year has been recorded and
made public, the routine business
has been transacted. and a meeting
place for next year. Minneapolis,
has been chosen.
DIR. William Sydney Thayer, of
Baltimore. was elected president by
the house of delegates of the asso.
citation yesterday. He defeated DIR.
w. G. Morgan. of Washington. by
four votes before his election was
made unanimous.
Outstanding Results
Outstanding among the results Of
this session are: The frank accept
ance by the medical profession of
the theory that the human mind is
determining factor in many forms
of illness; announcement of the iso-
lation of the germ that causes the
eve disease, trachona; advances in
the treatment Of cancer and tumor
with radium; and the exhibition of
a quantity of purely mechanical
equipment for treatment of the
manned or ailing body.
The sessions brought to Wash.
ington the worlds largest exhibition
of surgical implements and para
phernalia used by the medical pro-
fession. 1t also brought the largest
gathering of doctors in history.
The closing day of the convention
developed an interesting plan by the
physicians to reduce the use Of COS
metics in America.
DR.. e. B. Tauber, of Cincinnati,
declared that American women
spend twice as much a year for
cosmetics as the entire nation
spends for public health.
Some 10000 physicians last
year paid income taxes on $450, 000,-
O0O Beauty shops and cosmeticianS
paid on $500, 000,0 900.
He asked the formation Of a ma
tional committee with State and
local branches, to educate women
against the Use Of cosmetics. The
House of Delegates already has
approved this crusade.
One Prohibition Result
DR.. Leonard g. Bowntree, of the
Mayo clinic Of Rochester, Mimi,
declared statistics showed unmarked
decrease in deaths from cirrhosis
of the liver since the passage of the
Eighteenth Amendment" He said
there was a striking parallel be-
tween the reduction in deaths from
this disease and the reduced use of
alcohol in the United States.
Both alcoholism and cirrhosis Of
the liver" he added, occur most
frequently in the urban population
