Jackson Has Been on the
Job at Harrisburg
HE IS VACATIONING NOW AT
TYLEK IIILTj LOOKING AF
TER HIS FAIDI.
Tho Citizen Is indebted to Hepro-
sontatlvo H. Clark Jackson, Tyler
Hill, for a copy of the July Issue of
tho Pennsylvania School Journal
containing tho full text of tho new
school code of Pennsylvania. A
careful porusal of the Legislative
Journal, containing the dally pro
ceedings of the last session of the
Assembly, reveals tho astounding
fact that 'Mr. Jackson was present at
practically every meeting of the
Stato's lawmaking body, and regis
tered his opinion on all important
bills brought before the House. He
even moved his family to Middle
town, a suburb of Harrisburg, so as
to be near his post of duty. His
record is all the more remarkable
when tho large number of "absentee"
legislators who belong to the "curb
stone brigado," and are afraid to ex
press their opinion on questions of
vital importance, is taken Into ac
count. Mr. Jackson is spending the Sum
mer on his farm in Tyler Hill, en
Joying a much-needed vacation after
his strenuous work at the State cap
itol. Believing, however, that rest
is merely a change of occupation,
Assemblyman Jackson is putting the
same energy and industry Into tho
broad acres under his care, as char
acterized his political work, and as
a Tesult, his farm ranks second to
none In that vicinity for productive
ness. IIAHY WEIGHS 122 POUNDS.
James Adolph Cody Is 2 Years and it
Months Old and Eats ! Times a
Day.
Mt. Airy, Ga June 2C. In James
Adolph Cody, 2 years and 3 months
old, Mt. Airy boasts the biggest baby
in the world. James Adolph now
weighs 122 pounds and is growing
every day.
With the first indication of the ab
normal growth his parents consulted
a physician, and James Adolph was
put under his care. All efforts to
keep the baby on a diet suitable for
one of his age proved unsuccessful
to keep him normal.
Tho baby's measurements are:
Height 39 inches, barefoot.
Around head 24 Inches.
Neck 14 Inches.
Bust 33 inches.
Waist 3 G inches.
Around arm, above elbow 12 in
ches. Wrist S inches. ,
Across hand, above thumb 04
inches.
Around first finger, near hand
2 inches.
Around thigh 25 inches.
Above knee 16 inches.
Below knee 13 inches.
Ankle 9 inches.
Around foot 8 Inches.
Length of foot C Inches.
Across shoulders 15 inches.
Baby sleeps well and is perfectly
healthy and very strong. His appe
tite is like that of a grown person.
For breakfast he will eat three and
four large hlscuits, with bacon
gravy, butter, and syrup; two glass
es of buttermilk, and two cups of
coffee.
Between breakfast and dinner ho
will eat two more biscuits with but
ter and syrup.
For dinner he can eat a large plate
of greens or any kind of vegetables,
with boiled bacon, cornbread biscuit,
and a whole pie if he can get it,
with two glasses of buttermilk.
Baby eats again between dinner
and supper, and his supper Is in
keeping with breakfast and dinner.
THE WEATHEIt MAN.
Everybody Jokes about the weath
er man. It is the correct thing to
do. Mark Twain could not havo
been worried half so much by his
inability to persuade people to take
him seriously once in a while, as
Chief Mooro1 is.
Mr. Mooro isn't funny himself. Ho
never cracks a Joke. He doesn't
like Jokes. Of late he has come to
hate them with a deep and abiding
loathing, because ho himself has
been made a Joke and tho unhumor
ous, important work of his life has
become a hackneyed subject for
laughter.
It Is perhaps only natural that In
an era of Investigation, commissions
and probes, Mr. Moore and the
Weather Bureau should como In for
their share of suspicion, A Con
gressman has asked him what ha
means by Joking at the expense of
tho United States Government, and
tho weary chief has replied by sub
mitting some voluntary letters of
praise from Western fruit growers.
One of these asserts that tho fruit
men saved $2,500,000 last spring
or approximately double the cost of
the bureau by availing themselves
of its forecasts.
How much this great, scientific
system of weather prognostication
means to the average citizen, he
would And it difficult to realize un
til he had teen deprived of it.
To be sure, rhe prophecy goes
wrong sometimes, but it goes right
much oftener. No method of obser
vation can produce an Infallible fore
cast, yet the simple and practical
one now followed by Chief Mooro is
correct nine times out of ten for the
reason that it Is based upon a study
of atmospheric facts and not upon
guesswork.
Tho Weather Bureau is doing a
great work at a very Jow cost.

deplorable and senseless loss of life.
The Citizen will publish
in each issue of tho week
one of the essays or declamations,
which formed part of the Com
mencement exercises of the
Honesdale High school for tho
benefit of those who were unable
to be present at the exercises.
The following oration on "The
Conservation of the American For
ests" was delivered by Ray Dibble
at the High school commencement
exercises:
"Conservation is one of the most
significant words in the English
language. Behind it lies a broad,
interesting field, ready for the stu
dent. He will find it to be a prob
lem confronting everyone in dally
life. To some it may mean protec
tion; to others, preservation; while
to all it means economizatlon. In
connection with the forests, conser
vation is a world-wide question.
Practically every civilized country on
earth is doing something toward the
frugality of its lumber supply.
Though conservation has been argu
ed In America for the lust ten or fif
teen years, it Is only lately that the
people of tho United States have
come to the full realization of its
vital significance. At a recent Gov
ernors' meeting at Washington,
James J. Hill said: "We are yearly
consuming from three to four times
as much timber as the forest
growth can restore." The conserv
ing of our forests implies three re
quisites the protection and preser
vation of the living trees, the saving
and using of those left to decay,
and the economical use of all lum
ber. "In the protection and preservation
of human interests, trees are of the
most vital importance. The devas
tating spring floods at Pittsburg are
duo to an inadequato number of
trees upon the Appalachian slopes.
Again because of the lack of forests,
tho Mississippi river is estimated to
be yearly transporting twice as
much sediment as is being excavated
from the Panama Cannl. Althnnn-i,
it is needless to enumerate the many
important uses or lumber and bark,
we fail to comprehend tho ultimate
fatality of this stupendous consump
tion. From fjiffnrrl PlnnVinf mn lann
that If the present rate of consump
tion continues, "a single generation"
will suffice to completely exhaust
our Vast lumber rpsnnrrns Twn r.r
the worst enemies with which tho
forest preserver has to contend are
tho wasteful lumber corporations,
and the ruinous forest-fires. Some
Of the ODDOnentS to forest pnnKorvn.
tion have the Idea that the reserva
tion of National Forest constitutes
thpir exclusion from public use.
On the contrary they are open to
Drosnectlvn mlnnra. sottlpra nntrlo
and sheep herders, who will obey the
forestry laws. Also the involved
counties derive ten per cent, of the
total receipts rrom these several
use.
"At the present time the govern
ment is the most extfinnlvo fnrpst
conserver in tho United States. A
recent report from tho Bureau of
.f orestry snowed one Hundred fifty
million acres nf fnrpst lnnrla iinrlpr
governmental supervision. The pro
tection and regulation of these im
mense tracts necessitates the em
ployment of experimental forest
rangers. These men receive a practi
cal trainine In fsMenHfln fnrpqtrv
either in state universities, or in
special rorestry schools. Upon grad
uation tnoy are immediately assigned
to a district In which tn rnmmpnnn
their duties. The latter are almost
innumerable, but their principal
tasks aro the periodic burning of tho
brush after n. Heht nnnw.fnll thn

and tho discovery and prevention

latter, they perform sentinel duty
from tho hlehnst. nninr In thpir .
spectlve domains. As an aid in
summoning tno assistance of other
rangers, telephono communication
has been provided in all the reser
vations. 'Another governmental
method of conservation Is tho tree
nurseries, where the seeds ar3 plant
ed and thn Knrrtura rnlaarl until
ready tor transplantation. The rail
roads practice still other forms,
which are a great help. They find
it necessary to buy enormous quanti
ties of timber In the shape of cross
ties. During tho years nineteen

chloride. This proved such a suc
cess that by nineteen hundred eight,
twelve of our large railroads were
operating wood-preserving plants of
their own. The wood may be of
poor quality, and when thus treat
ed, lasts from two to three times as
long as previously. During the last
few years the Pennsylvania Rail
road has reserved several thousand
acres of forest land, In order to
meet their future demands for tim
ber. "Some of the cities of Europe have
established municipal forests. Ger
many encourages this by taxing no
forests until cut. The city of Ba
den, Germany, owns one hundred
thousand acres, yielding a net in
come of six dollars and twenty-five
cents per acre. Freiburg owns eight
thousand, Heidelberg seven thous
and, while the two hundred twenty
inhabitants of Aufen, owning one
hundred sixty-three acres have two
thousand feet of lumber per capita;
and the amount sold is more than
enough to pay its expenses. The
state of Oregon has vast national
forests, part of which might well be
turned to the use of municipalities.
Tlie legislature of Pennsylvania has
recently passed an act, giving our
cities and towns the right to own
and operate any such property.
"When the people of the United
States comprehend the real value of
our forests when they recognize their
Importance in connection with the
river streams and the consumption
of lumber and bark; when they con
sider the success of foreign countries
and realize tho existing American
opportunities; then it will be the
pride of every true citizen to help
extend forest conservation in the
United States."
EARTH'S MEASURE OF SUCCESS.
If you can keep your head when all
about you
Aro losing theirs and blaming It on
you;
If you can trust yourself when all
men doubt you,
But make allowance for their
doubting, too;
If you can wait and not be tired by
waiting.
Or beinb lied about don't give way
to lies,
Or being lied about don't give way
hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor
talk too wise;
If you can dream and not make
dreams your master;
If you can think and not make
thought your aim.
If you can meet with Triumph and
Disaster
And treat those two impostors Just
tho same.
If you can bear to hear the truth
x you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap
for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your
Hfo to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with
worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all
your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pltch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your
beginnings,
And never breathe a word about
your loss;
If you can force your heart and
nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they
are gone,
And so hold on when thero Is nothing
in you
Except the will which says to
them. "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue.
Or walk with kings nor lose the
common touch.
If neither foes nor loving friends
can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but
none too much;
If you can fill tho unforgiving min
ute With 60 seconds' worth of distance
run,
Yours is the Earth and everything
that's In It,
And which Is more you'll be a
