Foreign Representatives Carpenter & Company, 122 Michigan Avenue, Chicago Fifth Avenue Bldg., New Y’ork City N. Y. Life Building, Kansas City, Mo, WE PAY TO AID CHICAGO: — The Cleveland Plain ' Dealer has this to say of Indiana’s efforts to save the Gary sand dunes: "For many years nature lovers of Chicago and scientists throughout the United States have been vainly laboring to persuade congress to set aside as a national park the dune area at the southern end of Lake Michigan. The region is unique. Not elsewhere in the world are there such immense dune formations, nor is there at any other place so extensive and magnificent a natural display of plant associations. The dunes are of all ages, ( ranging from those which are still "alive" and in motion to those which have been dead for countless years. The region includes nearly every variety of natural environment, and has gathered within its limits plants ( from the far north and the far south, swamp plants and desert plants, plants of highland and lowland. It has attracted botanists from all over the world. But even more important from a practical standpoint, the dune region has served as a wonderful playground and health resort for the people of Chicago. Because of its close proximity to the great city the dune area has been constantly diminished by the encroachment of manufacturing interests. The mushroom city of Gary was built in the midst of the dunes, and converted an extensive tract of ■ nature's wonderland into a grimy, stodgy manufacturing town. The people of Chicago have long seen the < dunes slowly but steadily diminishing, hut they could do nothing but appeal to the federal government. I They could make no progress through action, for. , unfortunately, the dunes are in Indiana. And the people of Indiana were far less interested than the people of Chicago. Now, however, Indiana has taken ' action which marks her as an altruistic commonwealth. The legislature has voted to appropriate 2,000 acres of the dunes to be preserved as an Indiana state park. Unquestionably the action will benefit the state of Indiana, but it will be far more beneficial to the city of Chicago. And incidentally it will save from destruction one op the most notable of American wonderlands. | The only regret is that congress, which has been so free in setting aside inaccessible regions of the far west as national parks, could not have been persuaded years ago to save this accessible and incomparably interesting region from the destruction to which it has been subjected." Which is all very fine if the rest of Indiana djd not have to pay the bill. It looks like Chicago should help. April 13th to 20th is "Tree Planting Week” in Indiana and every one should do it. This will be a barren old country in twenty 'years from now if some systematic efforts are not. made to replace the trees being cut away so rapidly. Most of us remember when a half mile walk in any direction from most any Indiana town would have brought you to a beautiful woods but these have all been converted into lumber and now there is but one virgin' forest in this • I country. Plant a few trees around your home, whether its in town or the country. The ItotMe of David which for some years has bean an attraction at Benton Harbor, Michigan seems to have bqen built “upon the sands..” Thu head of the house is now being grilled in court at Grand Rapids and the exposure is sure to make the king totter.
