ARMISTICE DAY AND THOSE WHO
 WON IT.

Tomorrow will be the tenth anniversary of the signing of the Armistice, and the occasion will be celebrated throughout the countries that had been at war-some of them for more than four years. In the United States for the most part the observances will be under the direction of the American Legion Everywhere the oc- easion will be eolored by desire for continued peace.
 The ten years that have elapsed since that fateful November H. 1918. have been marked by vast changes in world affairs and conditions and in the lives of the men who were at that time under arms. In other respects, the does not seem to be so far away. We can recall no war in history that left wounds that have so long troubled Even yet occasionally hear it predicted that this country that will never survive the strain and blows of the People will be paying for it for many decades to come. However, there have been compensations. and these will pay dividends throughout time One of the greatest of the eompensations is the Ger Republic Already it is emerging from the catacysm of the really great democra- ces of the world, and that greater glory is ahead of it than ever before accompanied the German people there is every reason to believe. This transition is the seal of the success of those who fought to destroy monarchy and it's twn-mili- tarsm One of the best guarantees have of the future is the great Teutonic Republic with a thorough republican that once was a powerful monarchical military leader guiding it in the ways of democracy and peace.
 But must not permit gloatng fay orable outlooks to dull appreciation of the men who the Armistice at the cost of their lives gratitude to those who rsked lives and future in the service of their country and mankind
 The New York World just the other day printed little poem fresh from the gifted pen and bounteous heart of Dr. Henry Van Dyke, dedicated "ro the Unknown American Soldier, D that is appropriate:

Floods, Forests and Farming.
Cincinnati Enquirer.D )

At the time of the disastrous Mississippi floods last year much said about deforestation in the watershed a contrbutory flood factor. With view to determining definitely the extent to which floods in the Mississippi Valley may be controlled by proper forestry practice, Congress instructed the Federal Forest Service to study the situation. In report just issued on The Pro- lection of Forests of the Mississippi Watershed and Their Part in Flood Prevention Associate Forester Sherman states that ''the proportion of fcrested in the Mississippi Basin has been reduced from 40 to 20 per cent by necessary human use and by unnecessary abuse and neg lect."
 The removal depletion of forest growth, it is pointed out, has had far-reaching effect, not only upon the actual run-off of surface water and precipitation, but also upon soil transportation The attendant aggravation of soil erosion involves not merely the deterioration of the fertility of land from which plant foods thus leached out, but also the choking and shifting of river channels and the accelerated deposit of silt and debris along the lower reaches necesstating still higher levees. Reforestation is urged, therefore, in the interests of permanent and productive agriculture, as well of mere flood prevention It is quite much a question of controlling the carry-oR of soil the run-of of water
 In addition to recommending the purchase of several million acres of protective forest lands, to be administered National Forests on the Mis- sissppi watershed, the report urges coopera tion between the Federal Government and farmers in tree-plantng, not only on idle waste lands on farms, but also Improved" lands unproftably used for agricultural purposes With view to encouraging farmers to cultivate timber crops It IS further recommended that provision be made for supplying information and advice to owners of some 115 000 square miles of farm woodlands in regard to the and marketing of forest products
 In the agricultural conquest of the North American Continent forests have been regarded mainly as membranes to be removed in order ito increase the arabic area It is now being borne upon us by costly experience that the restoration of large areas of cleared or cut-over
 land to forest culture is in the interests not mere ny or Hood prevention and of stream control for navigation and water-power purposes but also of agriculture itself By checking soil erosion farm woodlands may serve to make the more circum- scrlbed crop acreage more permanently and in- tenslyey productive. At the same time the wood land may be used within limits for sheltered grazing purposes, while the growing timber is a crop whose value increases annually, even though
 hafVests may be infrequent and rstrcted We are SLOWLY coming to realize that in many cases reVers1on to forest growth represents the wsest use or land, and that tree culture in the long run is one of the most productive forms of agri culture.

eipal financing which has done thus far this year is lower than that of any similar period during the past five years
 Accompanying the increased costs of construction due to dearer money has been an increase of 1 or 5 per cent. since last fall in the price of building materials while labor, for the country as whole, is no cheaper. Another fac tor tending to slow down building is the gradual decline in rents which are now about per cent. under the levels pre- vailing year ago.

BUILDING OUTLOOK IMPROVES.

The September figure of contracts let inter- rupted an apparent downward trend by setting new high record for the month With total of awards for nine months some per cent greater than the corresponding period of last year, it is highly probable that the value ot construction undertaken in 1928 will again sur pass that of any previous year.
 The November Commerce Monthly says;
 The outlook of the few months
 however, seems to be for a somewhat
 larger decline than the usual seasonal
 etdown. The retarding influence of cur
 rent higher interest rates is beginning to show in the volume of new financing
 While total new issues of domestic cor porations for the first nine months of
 1928 are only about one per cent below
 the similar period of last year and
 public utility issues are down only and one-half per cent, mun- cipal financing is 16 per cent under the volume which done during the
 corresponding period in 1927. The 965 million dollar sum of new muni-
