A warning to country cou..n..

The wife OF Cabinet member who
is recording her Washington expert
ences In the Ladies' Home Journal
makes it plain in the March issue Of
that magazine that country cousins
are not always welcome when they go
to visit city relatives. The Cabinet
members wife was kept on pins and
needles for week by two cousins
who came to visit her from the coun-
try. She describes the clothing worn
by her unwelcomc guests, which was
rather grotesque. and advises those
living in the country TO stick TO their
simple ways and plain clothes wher-
ever they may visit and they will be
surer of true welcome. BE your

SOUTHERN TIMBER.
ar... vain. and variety .. tn. Fo


All the world. with the exception Of
Asia, comes to the Southern states for
timber. The single port OF Brunswick,
Georgia, exported lumber or timber in
some form last yenr to twenty-five dif-
ferent countries. Forest products, not
including turpentine and resin, We're
shipped from the Southern ports last
yenr to the value of about $25, 5,OO0,0
During the same period the domestic
consumption was probably five or six
times rs great, carrying the total val
lie of the Southern forests up to about
$150,OOO,OOO. The South, the great lake
states and the Northern states now cut
equal quantities of timber-about 12,-
U0,0OO,OU feet each year. Chief
among the trees of the South is the
pine, OF which there are four import
ant varieties. Roughly speaking, the
pines cover half the territory between
the Potomac and the Brazos river in
Texas, or about 10000 square miles.
and will cut 250,O00,OOO00O feet of
mcrchantable lumber. The annual
consumption averages about 1000, ,OO0,-
600, and at this rate the South can
supply the world for thirty-five years.
Another of the most valuable woods
in the South is the cypress. beautiful
in color and grain, durable, easily
worked and adapted to almost every
use for which n building wood is need
ed. The annual production of cypress,
including shingles, approXimates GOO-
100000 feet, and II Is estimated that
there are 50.0O0.00O,0OO feet of cypress
oh the stump. The hard woods of the
South embrace nearly all the varieties
to be found in the United States. and
cover 100000 acres. Among the more
important commercial hardwoods are
the different kinds of oak. ash, hick-
ory, poplar, cottonwood. chestnut.
gum, magnolia. cedar. bay. walnut.
butternut, pecan and sycamore, and 1t
is estimated that the South has 3oO.-

pared for sea. The Newport has not
yet arrived, but is expected at any
hour. The Senator will come off the

been overhauled the Indiana will take
her place The latter vessel went di-
rect to the quarantine station, and Will
be fumigated before she goes on the
dry dock. The Newport will follow the
Valencia at the dock, and an effort
viii be made to get all five vessels away
next week. If they can be fitted out
in time they will leave in a bunch.
If not, the Senator viii sail next Sum
day, and the others will follow as they
are got ready.
General Merriam has called on Gen.
eIal Miller for the complete field re-
turns of all the troops in his command.
This he did for the purpose of seeing
how to best select commands to go on
the different transports. They have to
be chosen with regard to the capacity
Of the vessel. and an effort will be
made not to overcrowd any of the
transports.
