HOODS AND WATERS

Forest destiuction has proceeded
m. the United States to the point
v.-here it is necessary that govern
ment, State and Federal take action
to demonstrate the means by which
v continuing waste can not only he
stopped, with porflt instead of
cost in the cure.
In Europe the State forest has
been for two centuries one of the

chief sources of wood supply It
has abundantly paid for it:?elf, both
directly and even more indirectly us
li has preserved to its civilisation
the necessity of the wood it had ail
hut squandered. In America we are
still prodigal of wood and hope to
continue to be liberal in its use. Our
genius is that of the individual. Wi'h
us the State forest should be an
: rea of demonstration to the individ
ual of what he can do for himself and
the public good by proper care of
hie timber.

MUSCLE SHOALS PROPOSITION
AGAIN" BEIN CONSIDERED
BY THE SENATE
Washington, D. C., Dec. 11.—The
Muscle Shoals proposition is a train
being considered by the Senate. The
Amendment of Senator Underwood
to complete certain parts of the work
us recommended by the chief engi
neers was passed without roll call.
Sena*or McKeller of Tennessee- in
 pposing another amendment by Mr.
Underwood stated that the amend
ment would make the terms easier
to the Alabama company i han the
pioposal already submitted by the
company itself.
Do you ever stop to think just
how fast time does fly ? It seems no
onger than a week ago, v»hen all the
girls and boys were rushing home
from the various colleges and uni
versities to spend the holidays >viHi
the folks at home. Yet it has been
most 365 days since th.v happened.
The'happenings of the Christmas of
192.1 fc still fresh on our minds. To
recall when the small child tugged
at your knee, asking you to wind-up
the little toy 'rain or to kiss the doll
baby; yet, 365 days have most passed
rnd we are on the verge oi another
such day. Probably our working.-,
during the year have been of such
i minor nature that we have allow
ed the golden lime to slip fiwin our
Kra.sp. Probably we have been so
busy with the different chores here
end there that we have ignored the
(alendar. Other things might have at-,
trae'ed our attention and we ignored
eld master time, but regardless ot >
race has been extended over a period
cf most 365 days since such a day
was celebrated throughout th? na
tions.
The race is on. Only seven more days
left to do the Christmas shop,>inj?.
Which will win out, the meagre num
ber of dollars or the 10 dnys is yet
to be solved by many.
One thing about having to pa y (jr
Christmas presents is that the hoiidtt}
tomes but once, a. year..
