r INDIANS TO PLANT TREES
| Timber and water meant everything
,Sa the Indian In his primitive siate,
,Mjra the New York Herald. From the
forest and stream the red man got the
.giau and fish upon which he lived,
iUnusual interest, therefore, attaches
'to an order for 22,000 red pine seed-
lings recently received by the Conser-
vation Commission of New York state
from W. C. Houg, head of the Seneca
aatlon. These trees will be delivered |
from the Sulamanca nurseries, and i
their planting will be under the su- j
vision of G. II. Oolllngwood, profes- j
aor of forestry at Cornell, who laid I
•at a reforestation program for the
Indians after a visit to the various
swerves. Professor Colling wood will
jtfso Instruct the Indians, of whom
there are about 5,000 in New York, in
Scientific management of woodlands,
MO that their reforestation program
will begin under most auspicious cir-
cumstances. Much good timber might
fee grown on the Indlnn reservation
territory, and at the same time the
hunting and fishing opportunities of
gto Indians might be greatly Improved.
the time it look to reach maturity? A
fairly careful survey of the field
answers "nowhere." Indeed, the ratio
of total life to maturity Is more likely
to be six, seven or eight than five
But man, whose maturity cannot be
placed at less than twenty or twenty-
two. thinks he Is doing well when he
passes three score and ten, and only
one out of many thousands reaches
the age of one hundred.
Mere force has never yet perma-
nently solved a world-wide problem,
and men are not made perfect by
legal enactment. Not until the mlad
and heart are turned toward right-
eousness Is man regenerated, and this
is to be accomplished only by lifting
up to Him who said, "And I, If I be
lifted up, will draw all men unto Me."
The Lord was not in the great fire
that appeared. He was not In the
tempest that swept over the land, says
the Omaha Bee. He was in the still,
small voice. And It is that still, stnal!
voice that shall lead the nations to the
new day, and not the fultnlnatlons of
statesmen nor the flash of warring
swords.
New Year's day ought to be a mov-
able feast. Conservative people are
content with It where It Is, but If a
change were made they would soon
' think the new way right, for they
always like things just as they are.
Jim and I have long wanted to move
(New Year's day out of the winter,
where, obviously, It does not belong,
'ttiatwe might put It Into spring where
It snrely ought to he. We should have
, the new year begin when Swinburne's
.bounds are on the winter's traces,
when the blue lilacs are like smoke
vpon the sierras of California, when
. trllllum sanctifies the woodlnnds of
•Illinois, when arbutus or fruit blos-
aoms glorify our eastern homeland,
writes Marguerite Wilkinson In Scrib-
ner's. Consider the effect of such a
i beginning on New Year's resolutions.
They might be less respectable than
"'thajr are now, 4>ut they would be more
affective. They might even be kept!
I By all the rules which Nature ob-
itorres among humbler mammals, 100
years ought to be a very ordinary age
for a human being. Where is the
Mammal which, unless Its life is cut
ahort by accident or disease, falls to
lire to an age five times as great as
By strenuous and earnest efforts,
Belgium Is recovering from the results
of the World war, and today even the
most devastated fields are beginning
to smile again. If Its efforts are con-
tinued In this same direction, and the
same counsels prevail as have pre-
vailed heretofore, Belgium will rise
out of the morass of the great strug-
gle uplifted In morale and actually
the itoetter for the trial by fire. The
world owed a great debt to Belgium
In 1014, and the world rejoices that
Its difficulties are being surmounted so
successfully.
Airplanes have grown smaller until
the latest one is called the "Wren."
They won't be within the means of
the average man until he can call his
the "Humming Bird."
A New York authority says that the
use of rouge goes back to the Stone
age, but was It not wnr rather than
love paint In those days?
Everybody says this country has too
many laws and yet every man thinks
he knows of a law that ought to be
passed.
Only a fool sighs for the lost Il-
lusions of youth. There Is plenty of
fascination In hard-boiled facts.
Very few of us laid In our summer's
stock of Ice last winter.
Extreme styles in weather seem to
be the vogue this ypar.
Show More Progress than
Seven Thousand
More Than five thousand years were
required to evolve illumination from
a burning fagot to a candle. The can-
die grew into a lamp in seventeen hundred1
snore years. One hundred yeah after the!
limp, gas came. About seventy-five years;
later great improvement was made in gas
lighting, and electricity arrived. Forty years
^sfter electricity was first used for lighting it
.'reached its present amazing perfection;
'The forty years that represent great progress
are those just passed. Far more has been done
;in the development of lighting in that space
jthan was done in the seven thousand years
.that went before. They brought the electric.
motor along with the electric lamp.
fThe electric industry is improving every year!
We apply these improvements as they are

JOY OF ACCOMPLISHMENT
The biggest and tlnest thing in busi-
ness is the building of ult>n> writes
Joseph French Johnson, president of
the Alexander Hamilton Institute, in
Forbes Magazine. Itecently a ijuestlon
nnlre was put out regarding the quail
flcations deemed essemiul for success
us an Industrial executive, lteplles in-
dicated thut personal qualifications
such as character, Judgment and abil-
ity to understand and handle men
were rated at three times the value
of purely technical ability. This rat-
ing does not minimize the iraportarce
of specialized technical knowledge; a
man must have that or his personal
qualifications will he of no use. But
It does emphasize the importance of
the humnn, humane factors in manage-
ment. Whatever Ills ability or station
in life, everybody desires an open road
for his talents, lie may he given this
by responsibility and opportunity to
make decisions. An executive should
he told what should be done and why,
4mt not how. The loy of accomplish-
ment and doing v rk well can be
countcd on to hring results.
The world Is not as friendly as it
used to '1)0, laments Mrs. Charlotte
Bennett, ninety-nine, Michigan pio-
neer. She blames "commercialized
life." Causes often produce effects
the direct opposite of what you expect.
The closer people congregate, the
more isolated they become. However,
people are as friendly ns ever. It's
simply harder to get acquainted. Bet-
ter be the big frog In a small puddle
than small frog In a lake.

Still Here Selling
LAND
In connection with Mr. O. E. Hubbard, who
intends to move to the Rio Grande Valley, 1
have just visited the valley with him with a
view of forming a connection for the sale of
lands there. We have not closed a deal there
on anything as yet and it is my intention to put
on a real campaign here for the next few weeks
for the sale of Red River county lands and
Clarksville city property. Mr. Hubbard has
kindly consented to assist me here for a few
weeks while he is waiting and will be in the
office a good part of his time ready to talk 'i
land business or city property.
We have a good list on hand now—a few nice,
clean black land farms and some very attac-
tive bargains in large black land farms and
river farms that can be bought right. If you
wish to buy, sell or trade, be sure to see us.
It may be that we can render you some real
service.
Yours for greater land business in Red River
county.
