By PH1LANDER JOHNSON.
Good News.
The rumors now flying
OF wtckedness great
Keep good people signing
Concerning the state
OF deep dereliction
Through which we have passed
But the weather prediction
Is cheerful at last!
Mid doubling and sorrow
We're trudging along.
We hope from the morrow
A smile and song.
Let's all get together,
Forgetting the storm.
The word from the weather
Is "Fairer and warm!" {.

A Mystery Of Song.

A Mystery Of Song.
The bards who wrote long years ago
Were much misunderstood.
But somehow in our hearts we know
That they were pretty good.
Although they bring subtle thrill
Which we cannot forget,
Nobody seems to find the skill
To understand 'em yet!
"Jes' as long as you is satisfied wifi
yohself," said Uncle Eben, "you is gineter
be dissatisfied Wit whole lot o folks dat

Senator Walsh author of the motion
in the Senate to send the reorganization
bill back to die in committee, does not
come up for reelection until l94O-when
President Roosevelt himself will be CAM
paigning either for himself or for his
prospective successor in the White
House. Apparently the Massachusetts
Senator feels so strongly about some of
the New Deal manifestations that he is
ready to break with the White House
and take his chances two years hence.
1t is believed he will be candidate to
succeed himself in the Senate-and also
that it will be brave Democrat who will
seek to wrest the nomination away from
him, with or without Mr.. Rooseyelt's
support For a time it looked as though
former Gov. Curley was the top of the
political heap in Massachusetts-as
though Senator Walsh might have to
play second fiddle in the Democracy of
the State. But Curley has folded up
politically and Walsh is still riding high.
Curley was an ardent Roosevelt man.

headlights were useless But you drove
on. following the one thing you could
see - the white line in the middle Of
the road.
That white line was the idea of
Edward N. Hines. Today its use is
universal 1t is one of the chief safe
guards of automobile travel, and the
simplest: and it probably has saved
more lives than any other road device
we have But it has been in use for so
long that. like so many other blessings
OF civilization, it is taken for granted.
Back IN 1911, however. the middle
of the road was anybody's guess. and
with driving beginning to be synony-
nous with speed. guessing was be-
coming dangerous. Edward Hines
was Road Commissioner OF Wayne
County. Michigan. in those days. and
in the course of his duties he did a lot
of travelling. Once. as he was approach
ing narrow bridge, he saw a horse
and buggy almost run down by an
automobile. Yet the man behind the
reins and the man behind the steering
wheel each thought he was on his
own side OF the road.
MIR. Hines Immediately decided
that one of the first things automobile
drivers ought to know was where they
belonged on the road. particularly on
narrow bridges and curves. So he
ordered the white line painted down
the center of every bridge and curve

railroad men knew they would have
the expense of carting them to dumps.
They solved the dilemma in thor
oughly satisfactory manner. Trainmen
and yardmen found duty calling them
elsewhere when an army OF poor
people swept into the yards and car
ried off trees to brighten dark tene-
ments
Let those who would shed tears
about such tree cutting running our
forests calm their fears. The Depart
ment of Agriculture Forestry Service
sees no danger.
A single fire. it points out. will
destroy far more trees than the annual
Christmas cutting. Instead of danger,
it sees intelligent cutting as a means
of making a better stand Of trees. A
single acre of new forest may contain
100000 seedlings Only minute pro-
portion of these can survive. There
fore, why not cut out the excess
growth and allow more room for trees
to mature without having to fight for
their existence?
With this in mind. the service each
year opens a good proportion OF the
national forest for Christmas-tree cut
ting. Trees to be thinned out are
tagged by trained foresters and cutters
bid for the privilege Of telling them.
In addition to these trees naturally
grown in forests, Christmas trees are
now being profitably raised on farms.

and manures them: gives them. IN

thus establishing a precedent which,
as road travel and speed continued to
increase. has earned for itself and its
originator significant niche in HUI
manity's Hall Of Fame.
When. few years ago. the B. F.
Goodrich Company conducted
search for the originator of the white
highway line. a host OF people ap-
peared to claim the distinction. To
settle the question all the claims were
turned over TO a committee and a
thorough investigation was made.

on his cabbages and beans. Seedlings
cost as little as 81 thousand and an
acre of ground can accommodate 2. 700
to $500 trees.
Hundreds of farms are now raising
this new crop on land too poor to sup
port other things. They are harvested
at a time when the farmer has little
to do but read the almanac and listen
to the radio; and they bring in cash
when money seems to be hibernating.
If demand is slack one year the crop
isn't sacrificed - trees can outlast any
depression.
Operators of many of these planta-
tions are finding it profitable to allow
a few trees to grow in sizes which
make them suitable for club, hospital
and municipal use, These larger trees
fetch ST .25 foot.
Dozens of these farms have sprouted
all over the United States. some of the
largest being in Virginia. Pennsylvania
and Oklahoma. President Roosevelt
has a 9O-acre Christmas-tree farm
adjoining his Hyde Park estate.
These farms are particularly profit
able where the owner has produce
route and can add a sideline of newly
cut trees for which he gets the full
retail price. Fresh out of the ground,
they will remain fragrant and green
throughout the holiday season. And
the moisture in them makes them less
likely to burn if. in an expansive mood,

When and how the Christmas-tree
custom was originated no one knows.
