Word comes from the president of the
board Of managers Of the Soldiers
Memorial Home of Brookville, that suf-
iicient money has been raised to pay off
all the claims against it, and In few
weeks a grand jubilee meeting will be
held at the Home to celebrate the
event. This is good news. To raise
the money has caused much anxiety and
labor. The women of the Relief Corps
are entitled to the greater part OF the
credit for bringing about this desirable
result. This Home is noble charity,

tion. In week or two we will make

caused the death OF one workman and
injured two others, who are in serious
condition but will probably recover.
The three men, Felix Succalini,
Charles Uchali and Zebetti, all Italians,
were working near together, when,
without warning, u mass Of coal and
slate fell, catching the three. Succalini
was closed in behind the debris and the
two others were caught under IL in such
way that they could soon be rescued.
One of these had leg broken and both
were injured internally.
A rescuing crew was working hard To
dig Succalini out last night, but there
was little hope that he would be found

not be reached before this morning.

THE PARKER CONCERT co.

One of the most pleasing entertain

public school was the concert last FRI
day evening by the Parker Concert Co.
The people present showed their APP
preciatian by the applause and those
who were not there have reasons to re-
gret 1t for they missed rare treat.
This Company certainly deserves
credit for the music and reading were
excellent.
The quintette sang "Gaily We Ride"
and when Shadows Fall" in charm
ing manner and the audience was not
satisfied until they sang two more selec-
tions.
Miss Hanson and Miss Mori both
possess beautiful voices and held the
closest attention Of the people while on
the stage. "Old Kentucky Home and
"Sleep Kentucky Babe" songs which
some people say are las old as the hills"
sang by Mrs. Parker, assisted by the
Misses Hanson, Mori and Ferry, and
accompanied by the violin, banjo, guitar,
mandolin and piano, were rendered so
that they seemed like new songs. Miss
Ferry is an expert violinist and played
the classic pieces with great ease. Miss
Boynton is an elocutionist of rare abili-
ties aud delivered "The Prodigal Son"
with much expression and gracefulness.
The Statue Posing and the singing Of
Nearer My God to Thee" were beauti-
full After Miss Boynton had rendered
Sailing to Dreamland" she was en-
cored four times and each time her re-
cital was more pleasing.

The attempt of the Goyernment

The attempt of the Government to in
duce the adoption OF conservative
methods OF numbering in order to pre-
ssrve the national resources, and the
responsive interest taken by timber
owners, have brought up many interest
ing legal question, and the Division OF
Forestry has found it necessary to make
extensive researches in this direction.
AS the result a circular dealing with
the laws which affect forests Is in course
of preparation and will be sent free To
persons Interested. One of the most
important points brought out is the
recognition by law of the prospective
ralue OF growing timber. The possibil.
ity of profitably carrying on numbering
with systematic provision for future
cutting depends upon this point. II
has usually been held that when, by
trespress, or by unscrupulous cutting
by contractors, timber has been remov.
ed contrary to the owners wish, he
could recover only its stumpage value
AS forestry usually requires that GER
tain number of trees of certain size be
left, it follows that an unscrupulous
contractor could easily upset the plans
of years with little fear OF punishment
The Supreme Court, however, has re-
Gently ruled that the difference in value
between logged and unlogged land de-
pends not only on the value OF the tim
ber removed, but on its probable In
crease had it been left untouched.
