D o n ’t fo rg e t th is is c le a n u p w eek. P aris rulers of fnshion say to women all over the world: “ W ear your sk irts above your knees and paint your ears red." And the pathetic fact ia th a t millions of women will w ear sk irts so short as to be silly, and paint th e ir ears w ithout loss of time Also the eyelids are to be stained dark brown o r blue, the eyelashes curled, and the inaide of the nos­ trils stained b rig h t red. fo rest lands could be mad« io grow m ore tim ber each jr*a; th an we now use. But much of o u r cut-over land, lying idle o r half productive. 1-, now an Im m easurable loss. t( pays little or no taxes. It keeps few hands busy. It turns few w hees. It b u ld s no roads. Idle forest land h is ^,.,-apppq schools, factories, railroad« and tow ns; It hns doM - lh„ >nd wUh abandonfd farm s; It has created a raUrutory ,,„ r f„r,.st pr,,bi,.m is . land p»wb lem of the first m agnitude. PROFIT IS AN IRON R t’LER T rade practices som etim es ru n counter to our usual theo ries of economy. For Instance, the U nited S tates is both an Im porter and exporter of b utter. W hai a para «lexical condition if » » did not know lorn» of the pre- w t n«t effect» of buying and selling! We imported i9.4O4.si« pounds of b ueetr in 1924. and « f « year we exported R.254.B22 pounds. From Den »nark we Im ported 7.182.414 pounds of b u tter and to Den- ’nar*’ we sold 277.4B1 pounds in 1924 Ow-r b u tte r Im ports come from Denmark. England. Canada. A rgentina. Holland. A ustralia. New Zealand and o th er countries From d istan t New Zealand we bought ’.312.507 pounds of b u tte r last year. From A rgentina w bobght 3.198 587 pounds. Mexico was th e larg est buver of American biltter. •ak 'n g 947.772 pounds. Cuba was >cond with purs-hrse-i of 844 ?op pounds, and Panam a third w 'th 743.819 pounds. Ir Edition io the foregoing countries, we «old b u tt' r io Germ any. H alil. P sem e grand destiny. Ia>t us ob­ serve and adm ire, but not criticise. We c m estim ate the wealth un­ der ground in this country. The Marland Oil Company strikes a nevg oil well in Its Colorado territory. The roar o f the gas. rushing out, tw enty million feet a day, c m be heard for six miles. If gas were worth one dollar a thousand, which ia called “a cheap, confiacat -y price." how much would that well yield in money? And the wealth in the ground Is _______ perhaps I»«» than th« wealth In th« air. Floating above «vary farm, waiting to be taken out and uaed, it enough nitrogen to fartlllxe many such farms. We buy nitrogen hauled all the way from South America, and there are btllioaa of torn of it above our k -.-c. Tho Suprem e Court decides th a t the gam e ami lis t act ia constitu­ tional. The N ational tloveruient therefore lias power, where game ami lish are concerned, to protect the Interest of the people.

However, our highest court does find a way to protect fish and game. About a hundred year« ago, In a Vermont log cabin, a young m other read to her children old Bible stories, about the whale th at swallowed Jonah. Elijah and h it chariot of fire and the fig tree th a t w ithered under Divine rebuke. That mother was poor and all her people were poor, and our» waa a young and poor nation then. The old Bible from that log cabin, ’ ' carefully wrapped up, waa token to the broad platform before the t>pl- toi. With hl» hand on that Bible, Calvin Coolidge eworw to do hit duty aa President of the United State». He 1» the grandson of the New England woman that owned the Bible, 100 y e a n ago.
