THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM

AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Al! rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. , ; ... Reforestation in Indiana Conservation of tHe lumber supply of the United States recently occupied the time of prominent business men who met in Chicago to

devise methods of replanting denuded timber

tracts and of setting out trees on land that is not suited for agricultural purposes. It may surprise the average Hoosier to know that Indiana has a state forest reserve and that 100,000 trees are to be planted in it this spring. It may also be an item of news for the majority of

us that enough seed will be planted in the nur

sery tp faise :,a million or more trees. . The 'department of conservation, which is do

ing a4"great service for the people of Indiana in many particulars, will plant 50,000 white pine trees alone in the abandoned fields on the reserve. ' It will also carry on experiments to find out what species are best adapted for high and

low ground.

"By planting many thousands of seed in the

tree nursery, the state expects in a year or so to

furnish trees to land owners expected to take

advantage of a law recently enacted enabling them to devote some of their lands to forest pro

duction without great personal sacrifice," says a

recent announcement of the department of conservation. r We of this generation may not appreciate the worth of the movement which the conservation commission has undertaken to encourage the planting of trees on soil that is barren and on hillsides. that are devoid of vegetation, but the coming generation will thank the foresight of the mettho'jWe . tryuig .to create forests to replace : tbiose yrhicti have vanished before the onward march of the settlers. Thousands of acres of hardwood trees had to be sacrificed by; the settlers who sought fertile acres.; butitoayi every Idle acre of land that is

unsuited to agriculture should be planted with trees. The woodworking industries of Indiana cannot depend upon other states for a supply of raw material. Necessity demands that unproductive land in our own state be made available for timber production. The state must not delay too long but take action, not only to conserve the forests that are left, but also to practice reforestation.

Promises of Federal Changes Three major reforms are provided in the policy for the re-organization of the federal government which is to receive the support of the Harding administration and the Republican majorities in the senate and house of the new congress. To establish the government on a sound basis, the following reforms are to be carried out: 1. A business-like financial system, to be provided by a national budget. 2. Re-organization of all the departments along a systematic, logical plan, to eliminate as much as possible conflicting activities. 3. An efficient personnel, to be secured along the lines recommendd by the joint congressional committee on re-classification. These major reforms bear a close relationship, each to the other. Re-organization of the executive branch of

the government is required for the best working of the proposed budget system. Re-organization

will help re-classification by establishing working relations, under a distinct head, among groups engaged in related work, which are now scattered in a confused manner throughout a maze of services. It is stated that considerable headway has already been made on each of these three great tasks and that the administration expects the budget' system will be provided during the extra session of congress, and that practically all the details of the other reforms will be worked out before the new congress ends its labors, two years hence. That the Harding administration intends to lose no time in its efforts to provide a business system of government is indicated by the fact that it was the first topic of discussion at the first cabinet meeting, last week.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It". "Up". A FLORIDA NIQtflT The air was soft, mild and mellow as only air can be in the halftropics. The moon was like a golden ball floating across a feathery sea, bathed by cloud waves that looked more like the shavings of pearl than anything else. . Through the holes in the sky, ultra-brilliant stars peeped and sang low songs. A light breeze rippled the waters of the bay into silvery scatterings as though gently swept by some mystic broom. Shadows leaned down to sleep across the road that bordered by, drowsily, yet with all the Inimitable beauty and warmth of the night for each had been kissed its day farewell within the encircling arms of noble palms. Far out in the sea the alternate eyes of a guard tower kept watch. Thousands of lights, white, red, green, yellow, sparkled like a necklace of rare gems along distant stretches of land, for miles and miles. Now and then some boat would part the stillness of the waters soon to mingle its wavelet messages with the silent sands along the shore. Yachts by the score, owned by great men of affairs, were anchored in groups a little way out, like isolated miniature cities mute visitors in a vista of dreams they little understood. In the midst of it all, rythmic music from Nature's great leaderless orchestra blended its notes until they, too, walked into the heart of the night and retired. Just then as though uninvited a great piece of driftwood, lazy and lifeless, passed by hoping perhaps to find solace in a scene so incomparable!

SPRING Now' comes the end. my fellow-men. of winter, stern and bitter; the spring Is coming once again, and merry birds will twitter, and joy will permeate each hen' and cow and human critter. Tbewinter has been mild and kind, no tempests raged severely, the elements all seemed inclined to treat ns fair, or nearly; the frost king and his frigid kind were kept in limits, clearly. And so we have no kick to make about the season going, but oh, our buzzums fairly ache to see the grpen things growing, to skirmish with a spade or rake, or do some fancy hoing! The winter makes us feel our years, and fills our hearts with sorrow, and. though a balmy day appears, small comfort can we borrow, for we are always filled with fears of what may come tomorrow. "The northern sky grows grim and gray," we sigh, with grim foreboding, "and though the sun's on deck today, we have a fear corroding that Boreas will come our way. his tinhorn goods unloading.", To all

Mary Aldn of the Goldwyn players is noted as a raconteur Her latest story is about a Swede who went into the postofficc of a village in the Canadian wi'ds and said he wanted a letter from Minnesota, and that his name was Ole Olson. When the postmistress said there were ten letters for Ole Olson in her possession, but there were already several men by that name in the village, and that the newcomer would have to be identified, he shuffled out of the office, saying In disgust, "A tank a batter change my name to Yonny Yohnson, mebbe." A boy plays "calling" by tapping on the handle of his mother's chair and saying ."Ring, mamma." This he keeps up until he gets the answer, "Come in." The other day we noticed him rapping on his baby brother's crib, and saying, "Ring, Buddy." Buddy looked at him with evident interest but said nothing. Failing to get the proper response after repeated efforts, he turned away somewhat disgusted, muttering "Nobody home." Mrs. Myles: "What beautiful snuff boxes you have in your collection of antiques!' Mrs. Styles: "Yes; they were handed down from my great grandmother." "Then she took snuff?"

FIND ILLICIT TUNNEL FROM GERMAN BORDER

(By Associated Press) CONSTANCE, Baden, March 16. Police officials here have discovered a second underground passage connecting the Swiss and German borders and used for smuggling. Illicit traffic in German and Austrian gold and silver coins and narcotics was said to have made profits for the band that invested large capital in constructing the passage which runs through a frontier forest. Several persons were arrested. The first such tunnel discovered was used chiefly for avoiding payment of customs due on food and merchandise. A handsome young woman was betrayed by a discontented member of

her gang as the chief. She proved to be a person of some prominence, owning several villas in Bragenz, Austria, where she lived in lavish style.
