forest land IS VALUABLE lBd 1.n.p011-. SeP l - M.-<BPocW>-E4lllial ing <W‘>« lnu ‘ tßly B ’ ooo «« ot forest land properly "farm- * will ultimately make a profit of m'LOOO a year. Kiehurd Lieber, state Xvatlou dlioctor, today trave figure, to base his argument that Indilia should own half a million acres ,< f or( »t lands, thus placing the commonwealth in a position to be parel self sustaining without all its ecessary operating finances coming from taxation. Mr. Liebers calculations were made on the grounds that the state should own lands now nettinE no profit, in other wot ds lands considered worthless and unfit for agricultural crops, and his argument was based the result of actual fore,try practice on the present state forest at Henryville. The 4.700 acre state forest has been purchased since 1903 for an average price of »3-50 an acre. Estimated present value is very conservatively placed at sl6 an acre, or an increase to the state in capital value alone of JJS.OOO. In addition the forest nursery has provided over a million trees for reforestation and now has a capacity for a million seedlings a year. Over 50.000 people visited the forest during 1928, demonstrating Its recreational value. Experimental plantings on the tract since 1903 provide a safe research back ground for advising the reforestation of private forest plantings—of tremendous financial value. Aside from certain gains by state ownership and control of large forested aieas is a startling example of actual and possible revenues provided. in a report Mr. Lieber has just received from R. F. Wilcox, acting state forester, or. returns from the timber crop. During the present year the thinnings on seventy-five acres showed a new profit in cross ties of sl,421.10 or |21.61 per acre. These thinnings are possible every decade or a profit of 22 16 per acre a year. The final crop should lie wot th S3OO an sere on a sixty-year rotation or $5 a year. The net returns to the state operating even the small 4,700 acre tract should ultimately be $33,652 a year. At least 500.000 acres of our native woodland is suitable by its continuity to state ownership, declares the conueivation director. A net return to the state ot even $7.16 an acre conservatively based on present stumpage values would be over three and a half million dollars a year. Administration of large tracts reduces overhead and increases forestry efficiency, for a siugle fire tower and its personnel, saw mill and technical forester, will look after a hundred thousand acres as well as one thousand acres, argues Mr. Lieber. In the opinion of conservation, department officials studying the forestry problem of Indiana, our abandoned farms are such because present owners can not afford to maintain buildings and other improvements, nor can they afford even the small cost of reforestation and the wait for future returns. Therefore state own•rship is obviously the solution to our great reforestation problem on the million acres of waste land iu Indiana; ilkewis tehe I ?, ETAOIN SC diana; likewise the means of the atete to establish a future steady income.

Colonists Placed Ban ■ '<| on Sumptuous Dress Nowaday, one of the most prominent feature, in the attire of the fair sex I, the use of silk, and Batins. However, such was not the case with the women In the early day, of the colony of Mnssuchusetta. Their mode of dress was not governed by their owtl discretion and budget,. Kut her th, authorities took It upon themselves to dictate just what shonld be worn, not only by the women, hut also that the men folks should dress In accordance wltn the judgment of those handling the affairs of the community at that time. As early ns 1(151, the general court waa enacting legislation which provided that If a man wits not worth 2i*> pounds, he w« not eligible to wear gold luce or silver lace, buttons or point, at the knees. They were not permitted to wear boots owing to the scarcity of leather then. As for the women, If their property was not valued to the extent of 2tti) pounds, their attire was not to Include silk. tiffany hoods or scarfs. Thus. It wua possible, hy glancing at the sices, of neighbors to tell how much of this world's goods they possessed. The distinction of dress win an accepted distinction both ot •octal rank and of occupation. LI Was Not Impressed by Chauncey’s Tales During an Atlantic voyage Chauncey Depew was entertaining u group of friends one evening In the smoking ■room with some of his Inimitable .stories. Naturally, the listeners showed their sense of amusement, with one solitary exception. Thi, man maintained an aspect of indiil'erence, and, Indeed, almost of gloom. Mr. Depew, of course, could not help observing this and was prompted to trot out even additional anecdotes. But In vain, at least with regard to the melancholy man. At last Mr. De•pevv rallied him by saying: •'Well, Mr. , won’t you contribute something to our cheerfulness?" The man thus addressed, pretending to heave a heavy sigh, replied: “Well, I have been ruminating a Idt as to what constitutes the difference between me and a turkey; and I have come to the conclusion that it's just tills—that a turkey hasn’t got to be stuffed with chestnuts until after be is dead."—Kansas City Star.

Beware of Grudges We haven’t a very good opinion of men who try to take grudges beyond 'the grave, or who strike at the living from the safety of the grave. But such efforts sometimes make Imeresting stories. A Philadelphian, for Instance, branded Ills wife, in his will, ns an “ungrateful and untruthful woman" and bequeathed her $1 with which to buy a rope to hang herself. That may have been the only way in which he could get “the lust word* with her. But the fact that he also criticized his son, in the same will, and cut him off with SIUO "so that be may have a deep grave dug for himself’ indicates that the dead man was either of an unusually mean nature or was unbalanced mentally. It Is bad taste to speak ill of the dead. Put the dead sometimes speak very 111 ■ f themselves in their wills. —New Orleans Tribune. Danger in Athletics Doctor McKenzie In "Exercise in Education and Medicine,” says: '“There are also dangers that accompany the luter years of a mans athletic life. Having accustomed himself to a high rate of physical activity It Is dangerous to stop all exercise suddenly, as so many college graduates do when they enter business. The combination of overnourishment mid underelimination that is sure to f"l 4ow upsets the digestion, brings on palpitation and helps in the rapid accumulation of fat, and these symptoms often make him Introspective, morbid and neurotic.’’ Social Welfare Little Jerry Cameron hud heard the family discussing social welfare, so ahe decided to help along the good work. One day she came home from school and explained to her mother that she had called on forty poor people that afternoon. “Do you mean to say you saw forty people in one afternoon?” “I didn't eee all of them, mother. At some places I left cards.”—Los Angeles Times. Well Meaning Penniless Percy had come Into money, and all his friends were giving him good advice. “Don’t forget, my dear fellow.” observed one, "that a fool and his money are soon parted." Percy was about to promise that he would not forget this piece of advice when a voice interrupted: “Oh, but I am sure that Percy is going to be the exception that proves the rule." Puss! Puss! Puss!

Paris Dictates Frilled Attire For Beach Wear Paris, Sept. 28—<U.R)—Frills dainty and costly are to be featured at this popular Metiterranean resort this winter. Most of these Parisian department stores and some of the dress makers specializing in sports are showing early models of the "frilled" bathing suits. Let it be understood that they are not iaten.led tor bathing, but as an effective set- ff for an attractive figure, they may become as popular as the little biack "come on" veils of a couple of years ago. The frills are in either dainty laces or silk -in the latter, they are in colors harmonizing with the remainder of the suit. Theie will be little change in the length of Milady's beach parade uniform. "Half-way between the hip and the knee” seems to be the official edict and iu some of the latest models proof, that the law is not being violated is| given by providing a slit of just that) ! length on either side of the one-piece: suits.

WHITNEY "Worn out — nerves unstrung — smothering spells—jumping heart — no appetite—indigestion—gas bloating—that was my plight," states Mr. C. A. Whitney, Vincenneij, Ind., “when I was advised to take Konjola the new medicine. “1 scoffed at the idea. I had triedso many remedies that 1 was disgust-1 ed with them all. But my friend urged me; pointed out a number of cases lie knew wherein Konjola had work-| ed wonders. 1 had no faith, but took a chance on another disappointment. But, instead, I was completely re-1 lieved in a few weeks: completely restored to health I had not known iu years. For months before I started on Konjola I spent sleepless, restless nights. Now I sleep like a tired boy after a day of play. Not only did Konjola surprise me with the completeness of its effects, but it begau to act at once, and from the very first day of the treatment I felt belter day by day until I was entirely well.” Konjola is sold in Decatur, Ind., at Smith. Yager & Falk's drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire seoUen.
