Forests and Flood Control.
(New York Times. l

Tn order further to clear up the relation of forests to flood prevention the Department of Agriculture has just published circular by MT. E. A. Sherman Associate Forester. deserib- watershed and the present and former forests within that area The outstanding facts are that floods occurred before the white man appeared that they were due to excessive rains; that the forests of the Mississippi basin never covered than 40 per cent of the total that they 20 per cent. of this today; that by of local conditions of soil, topo- graphy and rainfall there certain areas in which the forest has a direct relation to the run-of of water or to soil erosion or to both, and that in these torrential rainfall works havoc.
 In his recommendations MT. Sherman stresses the fact that forestry cannot suppant but can only supplement engineering works for flood control. He does net contend that by extensive reforesation floods be prevented. But he does benefits in controlling the waters through fire prevention in the forests to stop further destruction and consequent erosion. Like wise, he believes that waste land farms should bs planted to check erosion there In fact. experience has shown that in many instances the greatest run-off has come from farm lands which have been inadequately cared for. He also sug- gests immediate purchase of the projects for for est lands in the Mississippi basin already approved by the National Forest Reservation Commits sion
 The value Of forests in flood prevention lies primarily in their absorbing rainfall and check ing erosion They furnish good ground cover and their roots hold soil in place By shelter ing nnderbrush and plant growth they form a topsol which is reentve of water, and which does not readily wash away even on steep slopes Thus the forests act in as sponges and withhold water from rapid run-of Forest fires destroy the covering and roots that serve to hold both soil and water.
 There be little doubt that some program of forest preservation and replanting such as the Department of Agriculture advocates is an inn portant item in flood control. Certainly the con- tinued destruction of forests can only lead to continued rapid erosion, which in itself increases the flood hazards when heavy rains fall But this is only part of the problem. Extensive engineering works and widespread cooperation in conserving the headwaters in dozen different States necessary.

1 there is too much husband ant too little wife as there is whei there is too much wife and too lit l tie husband.
 There are 1900 different shades scents and brands of face powder and now and then you meet a gir who looks like she had a sample of each on her face. Unless she has a better fish nibling at her hook woman never tells a man she agrees with him when he declares he is unworthy of her until after the wedding bells ring.
 Some grass widows marry so of ten that they have taken the job of breaking in husbands for other women as a career.
 What a lot of old married cou- ples need is to have their children teach them a few things about betting they seem to have for gotten.
 A lucky husband this year is one who has no daughter and whose wife got a new fur coat last year.
 Another optimist is boy friend who thinks he needn't bother with the car any more because his sweetie has joined hiker's club.
 Many a man wouldn't mind be- ing as dumb as his wife says he is if he only was that deaf too.
 The old fashioned woman we used to hear about who didn't know how to wear her clothes now has a daughter who knows how not to wear hers.
 It looks like the acid test to us. and we never have any doubt about it being real love when the wife of a bewhiskered gentleman enjoys having him kiss her

Stands Squarely on Platform.

Former Delegate George R. Grigsby and democratic nominee for Delegate this year clear " sets forth in his recent statement in this paper, his aims and ambition as regard his work in the Congressional Halls, should the resi- dents of Alaska elect him in November He stands squarely upon the platform of his party the demand for self-government in Alaska
 NO great promises are put forward as bait to voters but in simple and therefore plain manner MT Grgsby wants Alaska to have a full Terri torial form of government including Jurisdiction over the fisheries and game.
 He will demand repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry Law with power vested in the Legislature to enact such legislation the subject of pro- hibticn as the people might desire that is not in conflict with Federal legislation in the sub jeet.
 That's the whole works nothing in the above demands but what everyone can readily understand and really wish for No confusion Of technicaties or intermingling of ten-pound words to veil hidden meaning but in few words those things which Alaskans have long wished for We strongly hope Grigsby is elected u IS tune new Delegate is sent to Washington

In Quick Time

to decide that William Burwell Of

deposited two checks in the Holt
Vile Bank, one for $500 and one
