Hut this rule does not nffert tho Amerleun peo ple. Tho older tho states and com munities In this country grow tho inoro timber they seem to require In ono form or another. Many substitutes have teeu devised for wood, and yet the great demand of tho country for timber continues to grow. More wood Is used In construc tion today than beforo tho discovery of concrete, and more wood In used In building railway cars than beforo (lie stool or part-steel car was developed. This Is nppurently true In nearly every Industry. Abundant nnd widely distributed forests huvo meant to the United States homes for tho musses of the people beyond tho standards of any other nation. They have plated news papers and magazines on tho average family table. They bavo contributed hugely to social nnd Industrial condi tions which promote democracy and ROTATION URGED IN GARDEN f Disease Spores and Insects Attack Crops Where Same Vegetables Are Planted.

The extin ust Ion of American timber bns not nimo about becnuso the for ests have been used so freely but be cause of the failure to use forest growing land. In a nutshell, the prob lem Is (hat the United Ktntes Is cut ting wood out of Its forests threo or four times ns fast ns It Is being rown. Much of the land on which timber stands or has been rut off will always bo forest land.. It Is ample to grow till the wood needed for the use of the people of this country and for export trsdo In lumber nnd products manu factured from lumber, If the land con be kept at work growing trees. Tim ber for the futuro Is simply a matter of putting Idle land to work. " Every reasonable encouragement should be given to the landowner to grow timber on bis own account In the ways best suited to bis own pur poses, but by noiue means or other the public must see to It that forest lands not needed for ugrlculturo do not lie Idle. Tho regulations Imposed must bo reasonable and equitable. Obvi ously the owner of the land ennnot do It all. The public must nld him In overcoming tho hnr.nrd of forest fires and must recognize that the present methods of taxing forests In many region are eqfilvutcnt to taxing a farm crop twice a week during the growing senson.

In the country n girl, with much tho same longings for nice things and "good times," looks to tho poultry yard, tho milk house, or the garden for her spending money. If her parents are the right kind, If they ure Intelligent enough to help her and encourngo her In her work, she will soon establish herself ns u M'tlil-lndependcnt mem ber of tho family. If, us often hop- potis, (he parents are not disposed to huvo such gotngs-on, nnd there Is no home-demonstration agent, no glr!s club, no extension work of any kind In tho community, tho country girl goes to. the city nnd the furmlng re gions have lost one more potential homo und family.

He Jerked his chair from the table and slid Into It with a sullen air, for Henry was rross becuuse tils mother bud not let him put on bis new shoes that morn ing. Heavy black clouds seem to be bothering you," said Henry's father, "liettor drive them awny or you will have an unhappy day." liut Henry did not answer. He kept bis eyes on his plate, and a frown on bis face, but when be pushed bis dish step auny rrom blm und spilled the cream Ids father told blm to go to bis room uud stay there until the cloud cleared from his face. Henry did not quite understand about the "heavy, black cloud," but he did know, of course, that ho had be haved badly, so be went to his room feeling that everyone wus treating blm unkindly. "Have not got a heavy cloud on my face," be said, looking In the mirror. Then he drew the shade becuuse some one bad once told him that little fuirles danced In the sunlight when" It streamed Into the room. "(let out of my room," gold Henry. "I won't have any fairies In here. I don't like girls, and all fairies are girls. Anyway, I don't believe In fairies, only those In picture books." Henry was very cross as you see, and be did not want to see the sun Milne, so he threw himself on bis bed on bis bnck to think over how cross everything was that morning. All at once he beard some one cry ing. It seemed to como from outside bis w indow. So Henry jumped up and H'eked out. The tiniest creature dressed In sil ver sat on the sill of the window cry lug. "What nre you crying about?" asked lUnry, who really was a very kind lit tle boy. "I can't get In to do my work," said the little creature. "It Is all dark In side and they shut me out.

ONE of the prettiest of feminine names which for some reason has always been associated with France and yet Is essentially English, Is Theresa. It Is one of the many femi nine naliies which come from the har vest and Its original source Is a Greek word meaning to reap or gather In a crop. Tho first to bear the name was a Spanish ludy, the wife of a Roman noble colled raullnus. Doth Pnullnus and his wife were devotees of St. Je rome. The name Theresa had great vogue In Spain and Is Anally found as Teresa on a throne In Leon In the Tenth century. The most noted Teresa appears In the Sixteenth century when tho Ilo nian Catholic church produced the re markable saint of that name through the Spanish connection of the house of Austria ; the princesses of Spain and Germany were frequently christened Teresa. In France It became Terrese through the queen of Louis XIV nnd I'rovence culled it Terezon. The empress-queen added greatly to Its fume, her noble spirit winning all hearts. St. Theresa of course brought It to England through tho Roman Catholic religion, though Its vogue there did not begin until after the Reformation. England also cnlls her Terry and Tracy ; France makes her Therese. She Is Theresa In Portugal and Teresa and Tereslta In. Spain, Italy uses Teresa nnd " Teresfnu,- In Gernjsny she Theresla. Theresa's tallsu'pulc stone Is amber. mishit!, fulry and I have to dance when the sun shines and make people happy. Hut how can I when they will not let me In?" Henry raised the shade and up Jumped the little fairy and danced Into the room on the sunshine as It streamed In. "Oh, haven't you any face?" asked the little creature, "or Is It behind old black cloud? Sometimes be does hide faces, but I most always can drive him away." Henry went to the mirror, and sure enough this time he found that In place of his face there was a heavy block cloud, through which he could see but dimly. He looked at the sunshine and the little fairy Tiad been Joined by hun dreds of others who were dancing about In the Jolllest manner. Henry forgot all about the cloud as be watched tliem, and presently a stream of sunshine cleared away the cloud and Henry Jumped up, for you see he was dreaming all the time be had fallen asleep. The wind had blown the shade and Into the room came the bright sun, but Henry could not find the fairies though he looked everywhere. "They did drive away heavy black cloud," thought Henry, "and I do feel happier. I'erhnps there are some fairies in the sunshine after all." (Copyright) The Right Thing at the Right Time By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE WIIEX SHE WALKS. "A little neglect may breed mischief." Franklin. WHEN walking with a woman It Is customary for the man to ask to carry any parcels she may be bur dened with. It Is a woman's privilege to Insist on carrying them herself, but remember that It Is very embarrassing for a man to walk with a woman who Is burdened as, besides feeling regret that he cannot aid her, he Is put In a false position by those whom he may meet. Every well-bred woman should know that It Is no longer considered the right thing for a roan to take her arm In walking unless she Is feeble or the way hazardous. If she happens to be accompanied by a man who li not aware of this fact she should not take offense, but If he takes her arm she should ascribe It to his Ignorance of that rule of good breeding and restrain blm by simply assuring him that she a Name? It promises her good health, wards off evil spirits and warns approaching Ill ness by paling In color. Thursday is her lucky day and three her lucky number. Coprrl(ht.) O Nautical Terms.

If a woman Is overtaken or over takes a man of her acquaintance she Is privileged to ask blm to accompany her as far as their ways go together, though needless to say she would say this only to a close acquaintance. She should not do this, however, when he Is accompanied by another woman and would not usually wish to when he was accompanied by another man. Wh?n taking a pleasure walk togeth er it Is always the woman's privilege to set the pace and make suggestions as to the direction in which the walk should be taken. If a woman chances to see that a stranger has dropped something, what should she do? This Is a question that sometimes comes up. She should not stop to pick it up unless the man Is de cldely older than she and she is very young. She should courteously attract lils attention to the fact that he has dropped the article and leave him to pick It up for himself. However, if she Is walking behind the one who has lost the article and not to pick it up for him might mean that it would be trod den upon she may in common sense stoop and get it. (CopyrfRht.) O Conscience. . That uncomfortable possession, a conscience, holds us back from many a coveted delight, saves us from many a sin, and drives us in many a path we would never be good enough or un selfish enough to take if only Its chid ing voice would let us alone. We give ourselves too much credit for our good behavior when we forget that our upbringing has brought Into our house of life n personality we cannot disobey If we would live at peace.
