Conservation We Fight Now to Bring Back Stricken Forests

BY WILLIAM F. COLLINS Times Special Writer TO answer the questions raised in the last few weeks by a number of my readers concerning the activities of our new reclamation army, I have made a trip to the front line trenches of the Morgan-Monroe forest preserve. At the present moment I am standing on a narrow ridge flung diagonally across the meridian and overlooking a meandering valley to the south and west. From somewhere in the depth of the woods on my right come the sounds of ax and saw and the crash of falling timber, a strange and for once an uncomfortable sound you may be sure to the act of reforestation. My entire experience up to now always has associated the sounds of falling timber with deforestation ala American.

In a moment I am going down to; the wood-chopping crew to find out the reason for it. That there is a reason I have no doubt, for Ralph ' Wilcox and his trained personnel of i foresters are not chopping trees for fun or exercise. I must linger here before ferret-j ing out this dubious procedure, most pressing personal duty right now; being to soak up as much of a j beautiful scene as possible. Our lives at best are all too drab and j it is costing me nothing to retint the edges of my soul with the j greens in yonder valley, the purples of the distant hills and the blues of a wide flung sky. tt tt tt OUT beyond and far to the south 1 the hill line merges with a j purple horizon. Bulging up from this evanescent line tower a marching column of annulous clouds, their heads in frosty breath of high altitudes, their feet like the flat belly i of a snail seeming to creep close to the lush June foliage of the dis- j tant forest. One has the appearance of George ! Washington’s head, a striking re- ! semblance to his profile and I am reminded of his statement, "It is not within the realm of this nation’s experience that we shall see our frontiers pushed far beyond the mighty Appalachians within the coming 200 years.” Yet here I stand within that allotted period and am witnessing a national movement to restore but a small part of all that has been destroyed by the seething waves of our American culture that has, in the last sixty years, swept westward like a prairie fire.

Below me, wheeling in broad circles on the winds rising from the valley, are a pair of hawks, the sunlight reflected from their wings at every turning. John Burroughs, our naturalist of the ages, when asked of what possible use are all these vermin in the scheme of things, replied, "Have you ever considered they may be of considerable use to themselves?” tt tt a /"''i AN that be the answer to those of us who see no purpose in anything unless it be chained and harnessed to do our bidding in some i utilitarian purpose for the creation 1 of more dollars? Another heavy crash of falling timber echoes and re-echoes down the valley. This funny business of reforestation will have to be looked at; I have some words to paint about it and the clouds and hawks must take care of themselves for | the rest of the day. This crew is under supervision of W. N. Miller, camp superintendent, an old timer in forestry, dating back to Yale. '08; Emiksu National forest, 12; district forester Alberta, in charge of sixteen million acres; U. S. Army, 1917, major over forest work in France. The reason behind the ax and saw lies in the fact that the Indiana forests have degenerated to such a point of worthlessness, outside of their natural beauty, that it will take a lot of pruning to restore their former value. tt tt tt 1 STUMBLE over the word "weed tree.” That describes a universal Indiana condition. Formerly our native woods were of high, intrinsic value. Indiana had in its borders the most valuable hardwood forests in the world. Giant white oaks, walnuts, hickory and | tulip poplar grew everywhere. Their inherent strength kept down the grown of "weed trees.” The people wanted the fine timber. so they cut it out as fast as it grew and did not replant a similar tree to take its place. That was just what the weed tree needed, more space, more sun and air and it thrived accordingly. So now, in 1933. the whole character of the Indiana forest has | changed. We have the "weed treee’ 1 predominant. The blue beech, a sour, warpy wood, stands where the black walnut grew. The sassafras overshadows the white oak seedlings, ! the persimmon takes the place of ! the cathedral-spired poplar. Those trees we did not want are here because we killed off the stalwart timber that kept them in subjugation and, ala American, let it go at that. Next Saturday: A bitter lesson in forestry.

THE TNDTAXAPOLIS TIMES

SPIRITS COULD SAVE' WORLD, MEDIUM STATES Arthur Ford Urges GhostGovernment of Dead Statesmen. BY H. ALLEN SMITH Vnited Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 24.—The general assembly of spritualists convened here today, prepared to furnish proof that the government of , a distraught world should be turned over completely to statesmen who have “passed over,” such as Wilson, j Lincoln, Washington and Jefferson, j Between seances, the spriritualists : will devise ways and means of purg- j ing their ranks of "racketeers. - ’ And. from the spirit-controlled larynx of Arthur Ford, recognized as the foremost spiritualist in the United States, they will hear how ghostgovernment could bring prosperity j around that corner. Ford, who looks and dresses like ! a movie idol, explained in his hotel , room just why the spirit world | should be entrusted with dictatorial powers in setting the affairs of our planet in order. * Dead Lawyer Is Guide ‘ Take my own case,” said Ford, j "One of my guides is John Reilly, a New York lawyer who passed over j four years ago. I commune with Reilly frequently. His messages are i not to me, but to other lawyers—prominent members of the bar who i knew him on earth. "You would be surprised at the number of important cases Reilly has figured in since he died. He has spoken, through me, on procedure to be followed in criminal, as well as civil cases. And in each case, his lawyer friends have followed the advice they received from beyond, and the advice has been infallibly right. "Thus, the statesmen who have died and who now inhabit a higher I plane, progress in their mental deI velopment much more rapidly than j they did on earth. Woodrow Wilson, for example, is a much more j intelligent man now than he was | before he passed over. We should let Wilson, Lincoln, Jefferson and Washington, pull us out of the hole we are in.”

Webster Advised Lincoln

Ford said that the emancipation proclamation would not have been issued had it not been for Nettie Colburn, a trance medium. Lincoln, he said, had the proclamation written, but had about decided not to announce it when the spirit of Daniel Webster, through Nettie Colburn, told him to go ahead. “We would not have the Smithsonian Institution,” said Ford, “had it not been for spiritualism. Robert Dale Owen of New Harmony, Ind., was the congressman who introduced the bill for the institute. His bill was based entirely on information he receved through a trance medium in New Harmony. “The same medium furnished Owen with the information on which our public school system was founded. The spirits told Owen just how the system should be organized. Horace Mann went out to New Harmony and got the dope from Owen, and was the founder of our school system.” Leaving the realm of government, Ford said that the linotype machine was invented by a spirit. Merganthaler, he said, had been working on the linotype, but fell short of success. Finally he went to a trance medium and got in contact with a mechanic who had been dead for some years. The mechanic dictated, through the medium, until Merganthaler had blue prints completed. From then on, setting the linotype up was simple, Ford said. JAIL CONGRESS OFFICER House Sergeant at Arms Pays 815 on Drunkenness Count; Freed.

CITY BREWERY PRIDES ITSELF ON ITSPRODUCT Famous Student of Beer Is Pivot Figure of State Concern. John J. Giesen, brewmaster of the Indiana Breweries, Inc., which placed its product upon the market June 1, has been a busy man. The brewmaster of the concern is the pivot upon which all of the activities of the business revolve in getting into production. Giesen resumed his work on real beer with a great amount of prestige evolving from his record in preprohibition days. He was educated in Germany, and was graduated from the Schwartz institute in New York, the first scientific station for teaching the art of brewing in the United States. He also took a post-graduate course with J. E. Seibel Sons’ Company, famous for the Seibel process of brewing. He studied to such advantage that in 1900 he won the gold medal at the Paris exposition and in 1904 repeated at the St. Louis world’s fair. The Indiana Breweries sells wholesale only. Present capacity is 2,700 cases daily, which will be doubled about Aug. 25. Prior to its first sale the brewery ordered 75,000 bushels of malt, 3,000,000 bottles, 100,000 cases, 10,000.000 caps, and 50,000 pounds of hops. In speaking of the various trades benefitde by the reopening of the brewery, Giesen mentioned the union building trades, bottle manufacturers, case makers, keg manufacturers, truck builders, coppersmiths, refrigerator supply companies, hardware companies, mill supply companies, machinery makers, coal companies, printers, corrugated paper companies, and office supply companies, as well as the 125 employes of the brewery. As to the beer itself, the proof is in the taste. The modern brewmaster uses test tubes, microscopes, and apothecary's scales, in addition to his own experience and knowledge. He knows to exactness the content and condition of his brew at every stage in the process; he exercises greater care than ever, and he has more modem means of getting results. So Indiana beer will hold its own, as it did in the old days, and its flavor and wholesomeness will keep ! it among the leaders. 3 CAR SHOPS IN SERVICE ROW Autoists Assured of Aid at Kentucky Avenue Center. People who drive their cars to the downtown section have facilities at hand to get service in the "automobile service center,” on Kentucky avenue, south of Capitol avenue and West Maryland street, where three of the best-known shops in the city are located. These three establishments are the Reed-Mueller Company, which has established a wide reputation for expertness in the cooling system of cars; the Don Herr Company, 120 Kentucky avenue, general repairs, lubricating and washing, and the Auto Tire and Supply Company, 128 Kentucky avenue, for new tubes and tires and tire service. Each of them has earned distinction in its line. The Don Herr shop Impresses one as he enters, with the systematic arrangement and the ample facilities for repair j work. The Reed-Mueller Company has perfected a plan of cleaning radiai tors by an exclusive system that j does not ordinarily require the re- | moval of the radiator, and hence may be done in a short time. Behind this the company puts a real guarantee. Os course, if the radiator requires anything more, this company’s service extends to any amount of expert repair that may be neeeded. The third member of this trio of I service is the Tire and Auto Supply Company, dealers in Kelley-Spring-field tires. This establishment is noted for the character of its service work quite as much as for the excelleiice of the tires it sells.

TIRE PRICES TO JUMP Local Dealer Predicts Boost and Lauds Present Values, Today's tire prices, according to Hollis Nay, Kelly-Springfield distributor at 128 Kentucky avenue, offer unprecedented value to the car owner. Nay points out that, contrary to competitive prices of other manufactured products, tires are selling for less today than they were at this time last year, when both rubber and cotton were cheaper. To offset the added cost of these materials it is inevitable that tire prices will increase 14 to 20 per cent. BUREAU ERASES TRAVELTRIALS Union Trust Firm Agency Handles Details of Journeys.
