For many years past there has been an
obvious necessity for forest protection
against the ravages of advancing civiliza-
ton. How general this demand is, the sta
tstics of timber destruction show, and,
while this was not so great last year as in
some previous years, 1t continues to be large
enough to warrant the fear that IL not check
ed the next generation of Americans will
not be able to learn from personal Observa-
ton in their own country what forest is.
The American Forestry Association, at its
last meeting, formulated in bill to be pre-
sented to Congress some valuable sugges-
tons, which. If adopted, would secure very
complete protection 10 the forests in the
public domain, but experience hardly war
rants the expectation that they will be
adopted, particularly in view of the fact
that they will involve some additional eX-
pense to the government. In the meantime
the reservation plan offers a very safe and
satisfactory eXpedient, so far as its applica-
ton is observation-disclosures Graphic.

The Geizer Manufacturing Company
Of Wayncsboro, have closed contract
with an implement company Of South
Dakota, for 100 traction engines and
l75 separators- The company with
whom the contract was made wanted
500 separators and 200 engines, but
owing to a large number Of orders on
the books Of the Geiser Company they
were unable to make the contract for
this number. The company now have
specifications made for ZOO separators
and 300 engines, and orders enough
to keep the mandatory running night

al this winter and through the sum
mer till next fall, even if no more or

THE SIGN.
Hagerstown's Live Business Men Taken

Hagerstown's Live Business Men Taken
In by a sharper.
The account in the GLOBE. Thursday
concerning the peculiar transactions Of
one &C. G.. harrington" advertising
agent, brings to light the location Of
the sign and also reveals the unscrupu-
lous dealing Of the agent. It failed,
however, to reveal the whereabouts Of
the agent. 1t seems the man in solicit
ting merchants to buy space on the
sign to be put up in the postoffice, in
formed them his price was invariably
So space. This proves to be untrue.
From some merchants he got 81, 9th
ers $3.50 and a few So. His frame
would only hold twenty-four adver-
tisements. He secured many more
than his number. He carried his sign
with him as he solicited, and always
had tone more space left" When the
last space was filed, he would take out
an advertisement, ana go 10 the next
with the same story. In this manner
he must have secured at least dozen
more advertisements than the frame
would hold, He bought a gilt frame
from Mr.. Harry E. Slower, for which
he paid $4.75. He represented to his
advertisers that the frame was to cost
SIS. When he found he could not
hang the sign in the postofiee he left
it at Mr.. Stover's and then left town.
The disappointed merchants are much
chagrinned as they look at the sign,
wonder where their advertisement is,
and also the man who, to all appear
ances, humbugged them.
