In the United States the heart of
the lumber belt has moved west
ward. At the beginning of the last
century almost the entire wood sup
ply came from the then untouched
forests of the Penobscot river region
of Maine. AS the wOOdsmen cut
deep into the heart of the woods the
industry was forced to find other
fields from which to draw its sup
ply and the virgin forests of the
south and of the states bordering on
the great lakes were cut into. AL
though these regions are by no
means depleted, the Pacific coast is
rapidly becoming the heart of the
lumber trade. In the three states of
California, Oregon and Washington
there is at least one-third of the en-
tire supply of standing timber in the
United States. In figures it amounts
to more than 600, 900, 900, 900 feet of
uncut timber.

An Important Confederation In the

It is well for us to remember In our
outline Of grange work for the year be-
fore us that some provision should be
made for a library, or, IL one Is already
owned, then additions should be made
to 1t systematically. There is nothing
which enters more deeply into the warp
and wOOf Of ones character than the
books we read. The practice OF keep
ing before the minds Of our young
men and young women beautiful and
uplifting images, bright cheerful and
helpful thoughts from good books IL Of
inestimable value. The difference be-
tween the future Of the boy who has
formed the habit Of good reading and
the one who has not Is as great as be-
tween the educated and the unedIcat-
ed Next to the actual society of mo-
BILE, high minded author Is the benefit
to be gained by reading his books. The
mind is brought into harmony with the
hopes and ideals Of the writer, SO that
it is impossible afterward to be salts
fled with low or tgnoble things. The
horizon of the reader broadens, his
point of view changes, his ideals are
higher and nobler, and his outlook on
life is more elevated. Let the grange
library become a permanent fixture
