Important things, he thought, v " '"things , Hal , would .never be called upon to do. ' - ' f Hastily, he went through his mail. A square envelope,. in a familiar 'hand caught his eye; He opened it , la little curiously. What could Miss Denby be writing him about? . His .Iong. fingers drew out an artistic ' Christmas card. A conservative ;ef ;wish and an old Christmas carol printed in English letters. That was all, except the signature, "Eleanor .Denby." A flush stained his face, an un w definable something sent the blood . singing through his veins. "Elea : mor," he said softly; "a beautiful . name; how queer that I never heard 'iJl J Then, as if resenting his weak ness ana sentiment, ne aug into n-s mail again. But try as he would, he could hot concentrate on the "things that had meant anything to him before. Something had happened to Robert Dutton; a Christmas greeting from a secre tary whom he had scarcely noticed left him visibly unsettled. 1 Christmas memories surged through his heart. He was back in the old home again. Everybody was rushing around in circles. He saw the big tree in the corner of the parlor; the kitchen table piled high with good things' to eat And Moth er and Dad, with happiness beam ing upon their faces. , He picked up Hal's letter again. After all, maybe his kid brother wasn't so crazy? The thought was pushing through his mind that may be it was ha who lacked real sense. This time he read the letter in a "We're Going to Forget Business i a, far Today," Be Said. , .i H -r--' ' different mood; "Let's give Dad and m t . . - M AS- 1 f juoroer ine surprise ox tneir uvea. . - :Lefe go down and make ana grand Christmas for them; v You can turn ' MMntnmv aif in inmMiu mimm tai a week anyone can handle things '-.;lik that there's nothing personal ' r.precious about, them." .

Five minutes later Miss Denby entered his private office to find a new Robert Dutton. She almost i dropped her book in surprise at the expression upon his face, . and . the new way in which he greeted ,, her. ' , "I'm ready to 'begin, Mr. Dut '' ; , ton," she began nervously, when ha made no motion to start the routine "''I of the day- ' " "We're going to forget business for ' today, Miss Denby, and go Christmas shopping, that is, if you ' want to help me out." He fumbled with his tie as he spoke,, noticing ' for the first time the aoft curving . of her white neck. "Your Christ- - . mas card," he, went on, "wrought some miracle.

FOREST RESOURCES? .By GUY A. CARBVTELL f , Agricultural and Indostrial Agent Atlantic. Coast Line Railroad Co. . There has been a ,iot written aboui the jnigratio of the pulp and paper industry 4 4he -South. In referring to this subject, E, L. Demmon, Direc tor of the Southerns Forest . ISxperl ment . Station, New, Orleans, La., cently had the foUowtngfto eay: ,, "To 4he casual reader of press Hems regarding ' this' development, it might appear that eachf. additional plant, bringing'- new capital .to tiie South as well as new opportunities for the sale of forest ' products and for the employment of labor, would be a distinct asset( . . t , $ "There , are. however, . other aspects of the. problem, 'such as the ability of the forests of the south to support tiiese additional plants, and the de sirability of produejmr pulpwood at the expense of other forest products that are worthy of consideration. It is important, therefore, that these phases of the problem be carefully weighed before an undue expansion of forest industries results." While mere may be a lot of care less cutting in the early history of the pulp and paper industry in the south, it Is reasonable to assume that the pulp and paper plants have come south , to stay,., and that owners and managers will protect their large in vestments by engaging in educational work to encourage the protection of the forests from wasteful and unwise cutting. All possible care must be used to protect thrifty rapid-growing young timber about to enter iWmost pro ductive stage, from cutting for pulp wood, when it will become available in a few years more for other indus tries which also depend upon the for est for supplies of raw materials. RohectK.' Winters, forester at the Sol ""tWneriment Station, -JL """""" ' '"" , U : Academy, of . Science . recommended that the following work be done in an effort to conserve the forests, for the most profitable toses: .. , . , 1. , .Educate landowners," both large hn amaiv ia sener ways vM nanaie their" woodlands in order -to .-secure maximum growth and income through producinc . saw. limber, , ; poles,;, piles, naval stores, and other " forest pro ducts,, along with their pulp wood. 2. Arouse public opinion to the point where it will ' insist that the establishment of pulp and other for est industrial plants be based pn the ability of: the forest to support them continuously. . , ' If Mr. Winters'.advice is heeded, and plant nnagjnent, f landowners, and the public cooperate . in bringing about .the .wise .use of the forest re sources of this ' region there , is no danger that industrial development depending on the forests for raw ma terials will be other than permanent JW,w,111ir-IMIlu,ITMtB ! r ki 0E HALF OF THE ' VVUVES-AK'THE OTHEfii i , j BP mm - --. x r" m u m mum : . ?.,: ....
