DEFORESTING waste LANDS IN INDIANA The state owned forest is yielding at least $1.50 an acre a year net profit, calculation based on the present market price which is low, in the opinion of Richard Lieber, conservation director. . This, in his opinion, is another argument why Indiana should pay more attention to reforesting its was'e lands, for if citizens will back up a pretentious forestry program, not only will great headway be made toward solving the timber shortage in the state in the next few decades, but the commonwealth can realize a handsome profit off land that today is not earning a penny for anyone. Mr. Lieber’s statement made recently was based on. a report from the forestry division which is advocating purchase of a small portable mill and tractor in order to properly conduct the state forest on a self sustained financial basis. The Henryville reserve has been in possession of the state more than two decades, and while its mission primarily is for experimental purposes to determine which species do best under certain conditions and to produce seedlings and small trees for sale at cost to those wishing to plant land to forests, some of the growth has reached a stage when it is advisable to cut it for conversion into lumber. It is being pointed om by the division to the commission that it is more profitable for the department to operate its own mill than to sell the marketable timber to timber operators. In late years the department is giving more attention to fire protection on its timbered holdings. realizing that if these wooded areas arc not fullv nrotected against c<wfWrati< n more damage can result than years of continuous and uninterrupted normal growth will produce. Just recently the forestry division completed new fire lanes w*d strung additional telenhone wires around the reserve to the central lookout tower for rapid communication in case a fire is discovered Tho department maintains fire fighting apparatus, and personnel at the reserve is highly trained to meet fire emergencies. TfAMILY JURY In the trial of several boys charged with serious violation of the law, a western justice summoned the fathers and mothers of the boys to serve not only as a jury, but in an auvisory capacity, to determine the guilt or "innocence amt the degree or nature of the punishment. The ordeal was no doubt as trying to the parents as to the children because it placed upon them a burden which is usually shifted either to pressure of personal friendship of the justice or political influence, or to professional defenders of criminals. In a way this system places the blame for the crime as well as the frequent miscarriages of law just where it belongs, and should result in improved conditions in the home life at youth with too much freedom. o AN AIR EXPRESS SERVICE The National Air Transport announces that a contract has been signed with the American Railway Express Co., to carry packages between New York and Dallas, Texas!via Chicago, commencing next April. This air express routej4 1,771 miles, and will couAect. with New England route./ Two days will be saved in shipments from the Atlantic coast,! and the southwest and one day between New York and Chicago. \lt is confidently believed that within a very short time the UnitbdJStates will be covered with a network of air lines carrying mail, express and passengers. -O Special Tkaaksgirmß matinee at Os, at Crystal.

MORALS TO MEND J A little girl, aged nine years has been forbidden to attend i school in Port Fulton, InJiana. ■ » because she was immodestly J dressed. The immodest attire consisted of a short-sleeve blouse, - knickers, stockings, shoes, and other things. Her knees were ' bare. Does anyone think a nine- ! year-old child in knickers will de- , molish anyone’s morals? If morals are so easily upset they needing mending. ! flmmodesty, like other abstrac- [ tions is largely what people i think, believe. The dress is just so much cloth; the immodesty is ' an opinion about it. Modestv in J other words, is a matter of cus- ■ ‘om. habit and tradition. This Indiana incident of course is trivial, provincial, narrow’ and repressive. But w’hile it may be easv to criticize the good people of Port Fultqn. may it not be true that , vou and I and the rest, of us . have just as foolish notions and fancies that we hotlv defend? We all hive our set onininns n«r ‘rrdPional iders. our emotional '-eactions, our fads and fancier 1 We are all provincial, narrow ?nd " irrational in some respects the result of education, style and custom. CRIME Crime seems to have a spiritual and not a material origin. It is a product of *he hujman mind and heart. It is just human badness. There is no short cut to the elimination of crime. The sure but slow procedure is the injunction of Solomon, “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” There is no other way and this one has never been tried. Human nature is opposed to this plan; the practices of sociery are against it; conventional philanthropy blocks its progress; the whole legal structure both by what it does and by what it leaves undone, helps to swell the rising tide of crime. The human •mind is the objective in efforts to make a better world, the kind of education, begun in early life and conjinued to its end is the potent means to be employed.

THE GRIP ON RUBBER Despite the protests of America, the British goveument has decided to continue ifs strange ! hold on rubber, under which the I crude has advanced more than a dollar a pound Inasmuch as ■ the United States is by far the I largest consumer of rubber, England is making us pav her war debt in about one-ten ;h the time we granted her—and even then continues to howl for complete dancellation. In addition to raw rubber the British government has extended the seme control to eight raw materials that the United States must purchase from heT. Os course Uncle Sam will pay, nrimarity because he seems to bo at the rnerev of a superior government svs^em—a system ♦hat believes in taking care of home industry first. 'While we nreach that doctrine Great Britain practices it. o WILL BURN I NDER WATER Submerged combustion has long been recognized as the ideal method of pow er by means of the steam boiler and engine, but hitherto inherent defects have prevented its adoption. It is now claimed that ♦nvo Englishmen have invented a simple submerged combustion system that promises to revolutionize industry if it fulfills the claims made. By this system it is claimed a flame, with air under high pressure. is able to bum under water, transferring its heat direct and with grear intensity. An appliance fitted to steamships takes only about one-tenth of the usual boiler space and will raise steam within a few minutes. Oil fuel may be used; there will be no smoke, and no need for funnels. no soot, no residue, and sea w’ater can be safely used, as there will be no scale in the boilers. The mechanism is controlled by a single turn of a wheel, is easily ignited and burns qui'ly for a long period. Os course this invention must have time to nrove its value, hut the impression is that.it mav have a far-reaching effect on power production in the future. o ANOTHER OIL LEASE FitALD During 1917 to 1921, LU Commaaiuer Virgil Daker obtained ybJ-year leases to -the San Geronimo, Porto Rico oil reservation, 'lhe matter nas been in the courts tor several years and Chief Justice Del Toro has just handed down an opinion that the. leases were obtained tram the can Navy Department by fraud and misrepresentation and must be cancelled. The Chief Justice says that Commander Baker deceived Secretary of the Navy Josepnus Daniels and his assistant Secretary Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., who signed the 10-cen-tury leases. The Chief Justice says that if the truth, as revealed by the evidence, had been knewm to acting Secretary Roosevelt, he would have been an accomplice in a fraud to despoil the United States of a valuable piece of property—and it is impossible + o imagine even that this was the case. o Uolleen Moore in “Irene.” Two years on Brotuhaay as a stage success, birt as a tfhn play it will lhe forever.

PRAUTIVE COURTESY Couitesy—Just plain practical | coun esy, is something every mo- | • torist should remember and use, : turves the Hoosier State Automb- i bile Association, according to E. ■W. Steinhart, president of the I association. “It’s a poor Joke some drivers ; chuckle over—th it of steering < them cars at full speed thru mud ; and pools of water and bespat*er ; pedestrians or passing cars; an- ■ other trick that is selfish in the extreme is to hinder a nedestrian trying to get out to a street car —slow up and give h : m a ohance even if you have the signal to go. Then too. give the driver hedged in at 'he curb an opportunity to pull into the moving traffic line. There are also some I motorists w’ho take delight in driving their cars peßmell | around corners, right thru a crowd of pedestrians, who have the signal right of way. If you feel you’ve got to sneed. do it where you won't kill anvbody but yourself.' But. when you are one of the hundreds travelling nn the citv streets, use descretion and apply your “courtesy brakes.” o FEEDS TROUT BY WIRE The new state game at Lapwai, Idaho, uses electricity for feeding the young trout fry. Wires are strung across the pools, a few inches above the surface. Lights are installed, the current is turned on and millions of bugs on which trout feed, are attracted to the li(gh,t. where the trout seize them. One Idaho civil engineer has had such a system at work for 15 years. o NOTICE OE COMPLETION OF ASSESSMENT ROLL To whom it may concern: Notice is hereby given by the Board of Trustees of the Town of Syracuse, Kosciusko County, Indiana, that on the 16th day of November, 1926, it approved an assessment roll showing the prima facie assessment for following described public improvement, as authorized by improvement resolution named' to-wit; Improvement Resolution No. 324, 1926, for the construction of a street pavement of concrete along the following described route in said Town of Syracuse, to-wit: Harrison street of said Town, from the north side of the intersection of Harrison street and Washington streets of said Town, southeasterlyon Harrison street to the. north side of the intersection of Harrison and John streets of said Town; said pavement being 24 feet wide from curb line to curb line. .

I his joy in the Lord.

Do we have this hope of eternlal life? We may have it if we will. B. C.
