The following lines, committed to
memory, give an easy method of stat

any date in 1908:

The number of letters in earn word
represents the date of the first Satur
day in the particular month to which
it corresponds; thus, tost. for Jan
uary, has four letters, because the first
Saturday in January is the fourth of
that month; "a," representing Febru
ary, has one letter, as the first Satur
day in February is the first day of that
month; and so on through all the 13
months.
Each word of the 12, excepting the
"a, begins with the same letter as
the month it represents. Thus, "Just'
begins with T because January be
gins with "J;" "mother's" begins with
"m" because March begins with m;
and so on all through, with the excep
tion of -a for February.
Having obtained the dates of the
first Saturdays, the date of every other
Saturday in the month is got by the
addition of the necessary number of
sevens, from which it is but a step to
any intermediate day. Stray Stories.

Exhaustion of the once vast forest resources of the United States has
become so big a problem that governors of nearly all the states win meet in
Washington in May to discuss with the president a policy whereby the forests
and other natural resources of the nation may be conserved for the benefit
of the American people. The conservation congress has been called at the
Instigation ot President Roosevelt, who has given the closest attention to the
