best famr land Is located in the
counties already studied.
But land that is unsuited to
farming development need not be
condemned as worthless; and such
land is inventoried by the survey
in the same detail and with the
same care as the richest loans.
Land that might not be good for
farming might make fine preserves
for wealthy sportsmen, and the de-
velopment Of such areas is Of inter-
est TO the state, II far no other
reason but that owners are likely
to pay their taxes promptly" But
some territories are better adapted
for this purpose than others, though
the reasons might not be apparent
to the layman. The survey shows
certain sections where wild animals
can secure abundant food in the
winter or where the streams are SO
warm that fish will propagate
rapidly.
The survey reveals that buckle
berry picking has become an i'm
portant industry in some sections
Of northern Michigan where the
land IS wild and unoccupied; and
it is conceivable that it may soon
be profitable to own land there
merely for this purpose.
The survey also discloses that
is being used for the raising Of
beavers and muscrats; another in
dustry that is becoming important
IN northern Michigan. What unin-
formed person would think Of buy
ing a swamp for this purpose?

SPRINCTIME
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

Finding Spring wildfiowers is a mat
ter. really, Of knowing where to look for
them. The country child has always
in his head store of knowledge relat-
ing to these facts. He knows where
near his house to hunt for violets, the
pale white ones, the yellow and dark
purple ones, the loyliest of all the bird S
foot violets. He knows the spot for the
bloodroot and trilliums, the hills where
arbutus and wildflowers may be found.
But the city folks, alas Tor perhaps
fortunately. are unlearned in these
matters. A young gentleman of urban
life called on me on his walking tour
to greet the Spring, and complained
that the woods and fields were barren
and devoid of vernal indications, sights.
smells or sounds. Why he found it SO
may be SurmiSed by the fact that he
thought wildflowers were garden flow
ers that had run Wild" and that as
he walked he followed an automobile
guidebook and had a motorists ortho-
dox horror of being off the main high
road. He carried a pedometer on his
leg timed his gait with his watch and
kept accounts of his expenditures. A
fine sort of troubadour he was! And
small wonder if he saw no anemones or
heard no meadow larks.
I shall not in this column tell where
to find the Spring beauties within
mile of the Capitol. any more than
would reveal a birds nest. But will
say this, that he who keeps the high
road who is afraid of getting tired, APP
pearing undignified or spelling his
clothes will have to wait till May to
meet the Spring.

Chester Morris and Purnell B. Pratt
also contributed to scene with Toomey
which is one of the best picture mo-

Eighty per cent of the cast were from

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, March IA
Now comes the morning Preview to the

new things go well in movieland. But
not for long. The novel becomes the
casual IN a brief time the casual the

more unusual.
Preyiews have been staged in out-of-
the-way places. At evening perform
ances Often the director himself has
not known the first preview was about
to take place until few hours or min
utes before 1t was run of. Changes
galore happen after that first preView

ITCHY Of brain structure. In an In
stinct the cells and centers are set to
function In just one way. But In tnni-
tation the cells will function in many
ways.
When you wave your hand at the
baby in the familiar by-by gesture the
baby responds with waving of his
hand. and not his foot. There is a
similarity between the waving of your
hand and the waving of the baby's hand
that does not exist between the waving
OF your hand and the waving of the
baby's foot. In other words, there are
some cells common to the two centers
that are not common to the other two.
This makes 1t easier for the impulse to
run into the handwriting center than
into the foot-waving center of the brain.
Man is the most initiative of all ami
mails. But he Is not unique In this re-
spect. All gregarious animals initiate.
The supreme example Is the panic and
stampede of cattle and all herding ami
mails.
Sympathy is common cause for imi-
tation. When the speaker coughs to
clear his throat the whole audience will
cough. They are unconsciously trying
to help him. If you smile at a child
he is likely to smile back. When you

| OF sympathetic reflex. 1t is the way we
have of entering into the spirit Of what
| we see or hear or otherwise experience.
It is the only effective means Of really
| understanding the experience.
We initiate because the thing we see
| so fills our minds and dominates our
attention that we are strongly motivated
| to do the same thing. The desire is
aroused In us and the mechanisms for
carrying out the desire are set in mo-
| ton. The so-called initiative act In
reality means simply carrying out a
| process already begun. The best exam
pie Of this Is the unconscious way we
hum tune by imitation in hearing 1t
sung or played. 1t would require more
effort to prevent humming the tune
| that fills your mind than to allow it to
follow out course of action already
| in progress.
Imitation is not an instinct because
the things we initiate are not Unborn
reactions and may be any one of a
thousand things in our environment. We
initiate because it is easier to do so than
not to do so.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Parents are inclined to envy children
their ability to play all the time. They
feel that the child Is having pretty
easy time in the world and that he
should be grateful for it, Nothing to
do all day but play" they think. Play
in their minds is synonymous with
recreation in their own lives.
When the adult plays, he simply
changes his form Of activity. II he has
a sedentary business life, he plays golf
or rides horseback for recreation. II
he lives an active, outdoor life, he likes
nothing better than to sit still in a
movie or go to the theater. Play Is
change. Play with the child Is living
a business, not a recreation. Every
minute of his play is teaching him new
uses for all his senses and through
varied experiences giving him a knowl-
edge OF the world in which he Is living.
The child's play Is vital necessity
to him. He can dream and turn his
dreams into reality. He can play he
Is horse, and for the time being he Is
one. He dictates his own actions and
discovers the results. II he climbs on
the chair In order to play that 1t is
a house, he very easily discovers that
when climbed in the wrong way 1t up
sets on top of him. II he opens box
lid and keeps his fingers on 1t and
then pushes 1t down. he finds for him.
self that he pinches his finger. No
matter what he Is playing with or how
he is playing, he is learning something.
Parents think to themselves: Hes
only q baby now; he doesn't know any
thing. Wait until he goes to school and
learns to read and count" Experiences
are not learned from books. A child
can be proficient in counting If he
plays store, long before he knows one
number from another OH the printed
page.
Every toy child plays with increases
hts knowledge OF his own capacities and
OF the world, II the toy is good one.
Haven't you seen homes in which a
box full of toys was handed to child
and when he threw them away. one
by one. the parents said disgustedly:
II don't know what to do with the
child. He has all kinds of things to
play with. but he won't play" The
habit OF buying cheap toy each time
sponsible for such situation. Children
need fewer and better toys. chosen with
a view to their continued use and which
may be used in dozen different ways
according to the dictates of their small
owner.
Children can play all day long with
one toy If it is good toy. They are
merely irritated by cheap. tiny toys.
which may strike the parent as good
enough for baby, but show their real
worth. because the alert and intelligent
child refuses to use them. If the child
shows no interest in his toys, don't
blame him-criticize the toys.
