REES, LIKE BIRDS OF
FEATHER, STAY TOGETHER.
Trees, like birds of a feather, flock
gether. Nature has provided for
ecial tree associations, and a
1owledge of them is not only .help-
1 but essential to proper forest
anagement.
Trees that seek companionship
ith each other form groups that
ustrate nature’s law “in union
ere is strength.” Tree associations
* this kind are known as forest
pes.
Nine major forest types are found
\ Pennsylvania. “These nine forest
pes,” “are sufficient to prepare an
scurate forest description of Penn-
ylvania. They will be a great help
1 classifying the forest structure of
1e State and in working out prac-
cal methods of handling the forests.
Je must learn to know our trees
etter and to understand the forest
tructure more fully in order that
ractical forestry methods can be ap-
lied successfully.”
The forest types of Pennsylvania
ake their names from the most
ommon trees of each association,
ut all of the 110 trees native to
'ennsylvania naturally belong to
ne or ancther of the nine different
ypes now recognized. ,
The leading forest types in Penn-
ylvania, considering the extent of
ach type and the value of its com-
onent trees, are the beech-birch-
aaple type, the oak hickory, the rock
ak-pitch pine, and the white pine-
iemlock types. The great days of
umbering in the Keystone State
vere centered about the latter type.
t was the great forests of pine and
iemlock that received the greatest
et-back from careless lumbering
«nd forest fires. One of the biggest
obs today is the restoration of these
wvergreen forests and for that very
)urpose millions of little pine trees
wre being produced annually in the
State forest tree nurseries.
The beech-birch-maple type, also
tnown as the northern hardwoods,
rovers 4,500,000 acres, or one-third
»f all the forest land in Pennsyl-
vania. It ranges chiefly over the
qorth tier counties and plateaus of
:he north, extending south in thé
mountain highlands. The oak-hick- |
ory type prevails in the southern,
and western counties.
The river birch and swamp hard-
wood type follow the principal rivers
and their main tributaries, while the
sweet gum-willow oak t is found
only in the extreme southeastern
corner of the State. the spruce-fir'
type occurs locally in th northeast |
typ occurs locally in the northeast |
and north, but is not common in any
part of Pennsylvania. Notable out-
posts occur in Pymatuning Swamp,
Crawford county; and in . the Bear
Meadows of Centre county, where a |
special area has been preserved, as
the Bear Meadows State Forest
Monument, in the Logan State For-
est.
The scrub oak type commonly fol-
lows forest fires in the rock’ oak-
chestnut-pitch pine type and is the
prevailing temporary type in the
anthracite and bituminous coal re-
gions. The aspens-fire cherry is like-
wise a temporary type that follow-
ed fire and lumbering in the original
beech-birch-maple and white pine-
hemlock forests.
Little Eleanor gazed long and
‘thoughtfully at the young man who
was on her grown up sister
‘Kate. “May I climb up on your knee,
Mr. Brown?”
«yes, of course, dear,” smiled the
young man, who wanted to make a
hit with the family. “Want to. pull
hair, eh?”
“No. I want to see if I can find
that word.
“Word! What word?”
“I heard our Kate say this morn-
that if ever a man had the word
“jdot written all over his face it
was you.”
Two lawyers in court were engag-
ed in a heated quarrel, hotter and
hotter it waged. “You're the biggest
ass in the court room !” cried one.
“Order ! Order! called the judge,
you forget that I am here!”
Then the court adjourned.

DECIDED
TO CHANGE
THE MENU
(© by D. J. Walsh.)
ATILDA put down her pencil
M with a furtive air and folded
up the newspaper. She had
been looking over the adver-
tised sales of groceries for the next
day and she wondered if Marie, her
maid, had seen where she had the
paper open. Matilda was, essentially,
a home body. She loved to cook and
plan, thoroughly enjoyed going to mar-
ket and Inspecting everything she
bought. “I would like to get a stout
brown basket and go to market,”
thought Matilda wearily as her house-
keeper entered. “The stuff the French
cook prepares tastes all alike; I'd
rather have a good dish of corned
beef and cabbage than any of the file?
mignons or chicken a la king—"
Mrs. Briggs coughed significantly as
she stood before her employer. She
did not intend to allow any newly
rich to keep her standing; positions
were too plentiful for that.
“Good morning, Mrs. Briggs,
is it?”
“] am not satisfied with my rooms;
I like more sun of a morning.” Mrs.
Briggs did not use ma’am in her con-
versation. She was the reduced widow
of an army officer, and never per-
mitted herself or others to forget that
fact. “As I always said to my hus-
band, the captain, I require a great
deal of sunshine and milk; that certi-
fied milk I've been drinking has not
been real good lately. I changed milk
men this morning—"'
“Are you drinking certified milk?"
Jueried Matilda.
“Certainly,” Mrs. Briggs tossed hei
pale red head. “I require the best of
food to keep me fit for my duties. I
told the man servants to change my
furniture into the front rooms on the
third floor—"
“But those are guest rooms! Some
people are coming tomorrow—" be-
gan Matilda excitedly.
“What's all that noise about?’ Jim
grown had just entered and he looked
crossly at his wife. “This house is
always in an uproar. I came home to
be quiet and find the halls filled with
furniture. You may go, Mrs. Biggs, 1
wish to speak to your mistress—”
Again the red head reared itselt
oridefully: “I am considered an ex-
pert housekeeper and the furniture is
being moved for my comfort, As I
always told my husband, the captain,
I cannot put forth my best efforts
what
unless 1 am thoroughly comfortable. '
There are the housekeeping bills for
last month. Considering the rising
prices 1 think them very reasonable.”
Mr. Brown sank wearily into a chair
4s the door closed sharply after the
angular form. “I wish I might never
again hear of ‘my husband, the cap-
tain” he muttered, then, “Great
Scott, Matilda, have you been running
a boarding house? The bills are half
as much again as they were last month
and they were simply outrageous
then!”
His wife looked at him helplessiy.
‘1 don’t know what to do. I cannot
seem to grasp the right way of run
ning such a large house. Mrs. Briggs
resents it greatly if I ask what she
is going to order each day. Says that
that is her part, to save my time, but
I feel as though I lived in a hotel.
Do you think it helps your business
much to live in such grand style?”
Jim looked up from the item, certi
fied milk, with a puzzled frown. The
sum total seemed astonishingly large
to him, but he supposed that his wife
needed the costly milk. “My busi-
ness?’ he repeated, “why, no, I keep

cards with a lot of idle people why

pulled up abruptly and reddened as
Matilda’s sharp eyes studied his face.
“Finish your sentence,” she com-
nanded in the old tone she had used
when she had taught in the gram-
mar school back in Franklin. “You
are keeping something back from me.”
He squirmed in his seat and ruf-
fled the sheaf of bills in his hands
while Mrs. Briggs’ sharp tones could
be heard amid the moving of furni-
ture in the hall outside.
“Tell me, Jim” urged Matilda with
an awakened gleam in her gray eyes,
“have you been keeping up this big
establishment just to please me?”
The quaint phrasing brought a rem-
miscent smile to his tired face:
“That is my aim in life,” he ad
nitted rather briefly. “I want to see
you contented. I figured that with
charge accounts at all the big shops,
plenty of friends and a housekeeper

“But,” is just the word,” said Ma-
tilda grimly. “Let's have an under
standing. You hinted something about
business picking up. Are you losing
money?”
“It’s most all lost.” He did not
meet her look but kept his eyes on the
bills. “I had a chance to sell out to-
day for $25,000 to a concern that
wants to merge my patents in with
another business but the interest from

I'm getting old, I don’t seem to haxe
the same zest for a fight that I used
to have. I am getting. tired of the
strain and struggle. Life goes tor
fast for me here in the city—"
Matilda’s face was a study. To gaze
at the pleasant, middle-aged counte-
nance one would never have guessed
that she had just listened to a report
of losses. The worried lines ahout her
mouth relaxed and her lips curved in
a tender smile. “Tell me, Jim, do you
get homesick for the old town? For
the cool, pleasant streets where you
feel at home and where you can turn.

is money? It hasn't brought us any
happiness. I've never felt really at
home in this big house, but I had an
idea it helped you in business. Twen-
ty-five thousand dollars would be a
fortune back home. We would never
want to spend more than the interest
of that and,” she paused a moment
thinking, “when we lived there before
we never had any money to spare. It
would be pretty nice, Jim, to go hack
and have something to draw on when
donations were wanted. Do you re

year that we could not buy chautau-
-qua tickets and everybody wondered
why we didn't go, and the Taylors

we were short and lent them for tha”

Jim stared back at his wife's ani:
mated face. In the hall outside the
bumping had ceased, but the pert
tones of the ladies’ maid could be
heard arguing with the captain's re
“] guess I have been chasing
shadows,” he said at last. “Shall 1 go
down and tell Jenkins I'll accept that
offer?” Matilda beamed. “Yes, and
we'll close up here and go back?”
He nodded.
“Deo you know, 1 believe I'll plan our
first dinner. Think, Jim, of going
down to old Mr. Blair's butcher shop
and seeing exactly what we're goin
to get—"
“The first night we're back Mat,
let's have corned beef and cabbage,”
he said. and Matilda smiled assent.

It is a great truth that it is easier to

Side trips will be taken to Yellow-
stone National park, Niagara Falls
and the Grand Canyon of Colorado.
To assist those who do not speak
any language other than their own, a
staff of interpreters and guides have
been engaged to accompany the visi-
tors. A representative of the Chi-
nese’ press und a moving picture
cameraman will be along to convey

African Wild Boars to
Make Sport in Texas
Kingsville, Texas.—One of the most
aovel experiments with wild life ever
attempted in Texas is to be made
upon the 1,280,000-acre ranch which
belongs to the estate of the late Mrs.
Henrietta M. King.
There lately arrived at the ranch
a shipment of three wild boars, a
male and two females, from Africa,
and they have been turned loose in
the chaparral of the big grazing do-
main with the idea that they will take
up with droves of javelinas, or wild
musk hogs, that make the big domain
their habitat.
The African wild hogs are larger
than -the native javelinas and are dif-
ferent in other respects. The javeli-
nas are marked by a brown band
around their shoulders and by a musk
sack from which an almost overpow-
ering offensive odor is emitted when
the animal is angered.
Even if it proved that the wild hogs
(rom Africa will not cross with the
javelinas it is expected that the im-
fat in a few years they will” afford
fine sport for hunters,
The wild African boars are feroc
ous and dangerous, but no more 80
than the javelina boars.
Upon the ranches of South Texan
savelinas roam by the thousands in
great droves. They are a constant
menace to deer hunters because they
put up a fight whenever they encoun-
ter a human being. It is the com-
mon practice for a hunter when he
comes upon a drove of javelinas to
climb the nearest tree and there await
his companions to come from camp
and rescue him.
