It i- estimated that about eighty million acres of idle forest lands in the- UJiitud States, must be put to " work growing timber crops. Nature J Will look after the seeding and re for (esting of much of this land if given a chance; if fire and livestock are kept out; but she must have this help. Man-caused forest fires which everv ' year' sweep about eight million a crux, i of forest land, must be stopped by an awakened public*, Farmers, especially, must l>e made to Understand our country's forestry ; needs,- for one-third of all our forest land is in the form of farm vvoodlots and smatl holdings. Farmers also are the greatest single class of wood , 1 users, and are among the first to feel 1 the pinch of timber shortage. To meet the demands of commerce, our productive forests must be made i pcimancnt sources of timber supply, ' through intelligent management. 1 The chief ? uemy of timber growing in tin- South is tforest fire.. As stated ? above, it tires are kept out of tlu woods, natiue will reforest our lands. .Fortunately for us, climatic and soil t conditions are such in this* section I rnrn tinibei' uill grow faster than in nearly any other section ?>f the United I States. This is a decided advantage . and a strong inducement to make timber a money-crop. In making its appeal for forest pro tection the I nited States Finest si" -.

( on;;r; i.-n.nn McSwain has aided in every way, exhiiu&ling every possible clue in the effort to locate the mis?- j ing youth. - Yo?k. whoso family at one time livod at Cateecheo, in Pickens county, but later moved to Spartanburg county, was a member of headquar tcrs company of the First division' during the World war. His army se rial number was. 20o,l lOarly in 1 9 1 (v> he became a sufferer from dc mentia praecox and was being sent to a hospital when he esca^-d on June 20, 1919. Since that time he had been officially missing. The rec ords in the case of York, or "Parker" now show that he was shortly after wards placed in a hospital in Europe, wearing a French' uniform at the time he was located. He was brought back to the United States and on Febru ary 16, 1920, was discharged from the military service being placed in a hospital at Washington. Having ap parently forgotten his own name, York gave the name of "James Par ker." and was known as such on the records at the time he Was discharged and admitted to the hospital. Duung the greater part of six years, nothing has been heard from York and Ife had been given up for dead, except for the spark of hope which .springs eternal in the breast of humans. Several weeks ago a representa tive of the American Legion made application . for compensation foi ".lames Parker," and at that time it was found there was a decided similarity between the records of sucir a man and the missing Jesse F. York. Apparently York remem bered the battles in which he parti cipated and other information but ).>t his real name. j Belief that "Parker" was .Jesse York, of this state, came to the surface at that time, but it was not until the finger prints, with which every former service man is familiar, were employed, that all doubt was banished. Because ? of his condition, it is thought unlikely that York will be brought to his home, although mem ber1; of his faintly, upon having been informed their son has been located may make a trip t<> set- him. "I Will Mail You a Cheek" Did you ever meet him? Maybe not, but if you have. not you arc lucky. He is the fellow who walks into a place of business, orders goods oi advertising or job work and says on departing: "Send me a bill and I will mail you a check." The check never turns up and all the business man has is some wholesome experi I once and a lot of distrust for human flesh. If our lawmakers, instead of .-pending so many week-ends and a few days besides, away from their work, or junketing, or talking good bills t<? death, would spend about ten or fifteen good minutes in good and hone?t work on a bill which would yivt hoM<-<: nun s?.mo show against "I wii. mail you a check" fiends, said lawmakers, national oi stat-.1, would Ik- better thought of and busi ness fuu'd br conducted rn better ct ndition.*.
