Waahlncton.—What la th# “Great OaWoora’’ from an economical etand> paint, worth to each state In the Unionf Several states have tried to this question, producing huge Which they admit, are conserr- ! stive. The great outdoors Is worth laMra than a billion dollars a year to • tfca United States, according to esti* * ' mates of the American Game assoclu- » hunters and fishermen. _ and vacationists under one : head, thflr expenditures for nature eatings would be staggering. For ex* ample, W. C. Henderson, associate chief of the United States bureau of biological survey, has estimated that game and fish alone are worth $80. 000,000 a year to the state of Maine. This sum Is directly traceable to ex- . peoditures for hunting and fishing atone. The. recreational and health values are incalculable. The “tourist crop.” including hunt- era and fishermen. Is estimated by W. ! Ol Crlbbs, extension agent of Michl- ;gan state college, to be worth $20o,- 000,000 annually to Michigan. This slate's out-of-doors Is the grctit lore. The “tourist crop" exceeds the oom- btned return from rMIcMgan's four geaat Ittdustries—fruit croj), 000; potato crop, $2o,000,000; dairy 1 industry, $80,000,000, and ponltry In- dustry, $80,000,000. An editor, Mr. A. K. Andrews, of the Indiana Farmer’s Guide, in esti mating the value of tbs tourist to In diana, worked out a soiled basis that, ! every state may apply and arrive ai an approximate of the tourist crop ex penditure value within Us borders. After careful checking and re-check* lag, Mr. Andrews found that the aver age tourist spends nearly $1 with pri vate enterprises to every cent sf>ent : with the state. Moneys derived from :the parks, hunting and fishing licenses, an not more than 1 per cent of the ; moneys spent by the tourist, he said. Rime tourists do not spend a cent with ! the state through these, channels. liy . araltiplylng state moneys received. ; $481,000 by 100, he figured ihnt the 'tourist crop is worth $40,000,000 to 1 hla state annually. SUta Wat Originally / East amdWaat Jersey "Tlie Jerseys" frequently occurs lb American kiatorlcai writing as the familiar name of New Jersey. Every body, for instance, has read of Wash ington's historic retreat through the Jerseys. This arose from the fact that what now comprises the state of New Jersey was at one time divided Into -two provinces known as East Jersey and West Jersey. This territory was originally part of New Netherland or New York and along with that prov ince was granted by Charles II to his brother, Jamep, duke of York. In the same year, 1865, tlie doke of York granted the tract between the Hudson and Delaware rivers to Lord John Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. It was called New Jersey in honor of Carteret who had been governor of the Isle of Jersey. At first the terri tory was governed us one province, but when it was later partitioned the' portion originally granted to Berkeley was called West Jersey and that to Carteret East Jersey. In 1682 the prov ince of East Jersey was sold at pub lic auction to William Penn and 11 associates for £3,400. Penn had al ready obtained an interest In West Jersey. In 1702 the proprietors, who reserved the rights to the soil, trans ferred all right of Jurisdiction to the crown, and the'two provinces were united under a government similar to that of the ottier royal provinces. Al though at the time of the Revolution East Jersey and West Jersey had composed u single colony for nearly three quarters of a century, many peo- J pie were still In the habit of speaking of them as “the Jerseys.”—Pathfinder | Magazine.

Prussian King's Really Good Joko on Voltaire There was once at the court of Frederick tlie Great of Prussia an Englishman with an amaxing memory. One day Voltaire was due to read to Frederick a new poem In his iionor. Frederick arranged that the English man should l)e able to overhear If from tlie next room. Voltaire arrived and read out his masterpiece—an ode of great length. “Very nice.” said Frederick, "but of course I have heard it before.” At lids point tlie Englishman wan dered In casually and was asked if lie had ever heard a poem beginning so-and-so. To Voltaire's horror, tlie English man took up the line and went on re- eiGng word'fpr wqrajkAbf! poem Vol taire had just rend. Anguished, Vol taire tore his manuscript to pieces. Then, the joke being explained, the Englishman had to dictate the poem again to Voltaire.—Golden Book Mag azine.- ..

Now as he sat on the edge of the pond of Paddy the Bea\W deep in tlie Green Forest and listened to the news from the Great Woods in tlie Far North, as told by Honker the goose, who iiad just stopped over for tlie night, Peter was hearing for the first time of Glutton the Wolverine.

He told how Glutton had broken into the little log house of the trapper while the latter was away, and had stolen or ruined all his sup plies, so that the trapper had been forced to go away to get more. Of course while he was away the little people In fur had nothing to fear from traps. Peter had listened with ears wide open. When Honker had finished Peter spoke. “Did I understand you to say that Glutton ia all bad and that every one hates him?" he asked. “You certainly did," growled Bus ter Bear in his deep grutnbly-runi- bly voice. “He hasn’t a friend in the world.” “That’s funny," replied Peter, pull ing his whiskers thoughtfully. “What’s the matter with the peo ple of the Great Woods?” “Nothing the matter with us.” growled Buster. “The matter Is all with Glutton.” "“Oh, ! don’t know.’^ returne<J Pe ter. “It may be you don’t owe Glut ton anything, Buster, but. it seems to me that some others up there in the Great Woods owe him a great deal." i Buster turned and stared at Pe ter very hard. “Peter," said he slow ly. “you are the first one I ever knew who could find a good word to say for that ugly robber of honest folks.” “Perhaps no one ever has tried to find a good thing to say," retorted Pe ter. “I never have found anyone yet who doesn't do some good for others once In a while, even Reddy Fox. Now' who are you people who live in the Great Woods most afraid of?” “Hunters and trappers,” replied Buster promptly. “Then It seems of me that anyone who can and does get the best of them and actuaJly‘drives one of them away is doing something good, very good, indeed, for tlie rest of you. Glutton may lie a robber and may kill the smaller people when he can catch them, but when lie pulls up all the traps so well hidd^fu.tiuu~uo -one else can find them and leaves '.hem in plain sight so that no one will get caught, it seems to me that lie has done a splendid thing for his -neigh bors and that they have no right to say that he i« all bad.

The home la a success or a failure for numerous reasons. The most important factors which make for the greatest success in home de velopment relate directly to the “at mosphere” which is radiated by the personalities of those who occupy the home and by the atmosphere which is evidenced in the physical features of the home surroundings. The dome is an outstanding feature In community development. It must be attractive or the community suffers proportionately and the happiness of those who occupy the home Is greatly decreased.

SUCCESSFUL HOMEMAKING By RUTH MAVIS STONE VARIETY ADDS SPICE -— TO PLAIN BISCUITS • ; . How many different kinds bread do you give your family? The aver age housewife serves only biscuits, corn bread, am! linker’s yeast bread. There are so many different hoi breads that can be served with very little expense and trouble that we *lnmltl frequently treat the family to a change. Tlie easiest way to make plain bis- cult is to sift and measure the Hour, adding to each cup of self-rising Hour 1 level tablespoon of fat and about 1-3 cup sweet milk. That is all that is necessary * If you haw never used self-rising Hour, try it out. It saves so mud) lime and trouble and Is so sure in its results. It is healthful, too. because tlie baking powder used in ii supplies two of tlie most importuiii minerals the body needs. After you have made the plain biscuit dough you may vary your biscuits in a number of ways. Orange Tea Biscuits are yasy to make, inexpensive, and delicious. Roll 1 he biscuit dough rather thin, cut small biscuits, and in the center of <>ach biscuit put an orange loaf. To make the orange loaf use tablet sugar; •fid) tlie sugar on tlie outside of an or ange until oiTe side's well coated with orange oil; break tlie loaf in two and iiress the half with tlie orange side v >lown into the center of the biscuit: put on fop of the sugar a small hit of butter and a few drops of orange Juice. Bake in a moderately hot oven. These biscuits can be served at an^ meal, but are particularly good served with piping hot tea or coffee, for sim ple refreshments. breakfast and these biscuits made in a very little additional time. Cheese Biscuits are made by adding % cup of grated cheese to tlie-flour. Treat the Family to a Change by Serv- . ing a Variety of Hot Breads.

Roll very thin, cut,with a small cutter, and bake in a moderate oven. These are good served either hot’ or cold but are best when hot. They are especially good to sene with soup or salad. — Foolish Worry To worry te merely to waste energy on the unknown. Until you know what tomorrow has in store for you, you are wasting your time by worrying. It would be much better to do some solid thinking, some constructive planning. Worry is *• negative sort of thing. A crisis needs something positive, and hope Is always a better standby in tlmf of trouble than despair.
