END OF THE WORLD NEAR.
So Say Members of Strange Re
Hgious Sect in Indiana-Are
Sincere in Belief.

Decatur. Ind-Waiting for the world
TO come to an end and advocating the
creed of their sect. several families OF
this city. under the leadership of Will
liam Whittredge formerly of Elgin. o..
are preparing for the millennium. which
they say Will be here some time in April.
The little band has no name. but its
members are apparently sincere in their
belief. When Whittredee and his fol-
lowers quietly came to this city several
weeks ago they attracted little atten-
ton, but it was noticed that, although
the entire band of three families was
housed in one dwelling. the men appar-
emily had no occupation. Then the peo-
pie of the neighbOrhood began to Won
der what their mission here could be.
1t was made known that the strangers
were simply waiting for the world to
come to an end. and tracts were scat
tered over the city warning the resi-
dents of the city that the end Is expect
ed In April
The followers of Whittredge, in
preaching their doctrine point TO the
book of Revelations in the Bible. and on
the tracts which they distribute are
printed quotations from the Bible. The
members of the band are all intelligent
and well informed and they preach their
belief in interesting conversation.

, serfs into the forests to fell the trees,
| clean the wood and bring it down by
shiploads to the sea. At first all COM
merce was carried on by barter and in
return for large cargoes of this wood
the chiefs received, in less value,
trinkets, guns, ammunition, liquor,
boats, silks and other Chinese goods.
, Great quantities of the costly goods.
however were never used but, being
slowed away in unsuitable and inse-
cure store-hOuses, We're allowed to de-
cay In their greed for gain the chiefs,
who had complete control over the
common people, oppressed them sore
". compelling them to remain for
months at a time in the mountains
telling trees and bringing them down
on their backs to the royal store
houses situated on the shore.
About the year 1910 Kamehameha
I. king of Hawaii. is said to have re-
ceived annually $40O, 900 for sandal
wood and during the closing years
of his reign and until 1925, the trade
in this valuable wood was at its height.
In 1929 the wood was becoming scarce
and in 1885, the annual export had
fallen off to $4,000. In the years from
coo. and soon after the trade in sandal
wood seems to have come to a COM
plete stop.
The cause of this rapid decrease and
final termination was due to the un-
relenting chiefs who were guilty of the
almost complete extinction of this VAL
liable asset to the island forests. So
harshly did they drive on the serfs
in the gathering of the crop that these
oppressed people destroyed also the
young trees in order that they and
their sons might be relieved from toll
so heavy in the years to come. Short
ly after 1910, the chiefs suddenly re-
allied their blunder and the taboo
which they then put on the trees has
saved for us few species in the deep
woods.
In India to-day a similar species. the
Santalum Album. is successfully cul
tivated. under government control,
and the supply of the wood is kept
up by large plantations. The trees
attain their maturity in twenty 10
thirty years. the trunk then being one
foot in diameter. 1t is to be hoped
that on the new forest reserves of
Hawaii attempts Will be made TO re-
store the groves of this valuable tree
and we may yet live to hear that the
trade in sandalwood grown in the
Hawaiian Islands, has been revived.

If any tree has ever been grossly
maItreated it is the sandalwood tree IN
Hawaii. OF no especial value at nrst
to the natives of the islands 1t grew
naturally and abundantly- in splendid
mountain groves, but to-day only rev
survivors are found in Isolated parts
of the country. The same avarlce ana
human lack of foresight which swept
away the American buffalo by the
thousands has also been active in al
most completely extirpating this tree
in the Hawaiian Islands.
OF the three species of the sandal
wood and about four varieties which
grow in the islands, those most COM
mercialIy important were the Santalum
freycinetianum and Santalum Pyrul-
arium. These were straight, hand
some trees attaining an average height
of twenty-five feet and thickness or
one foot at the base. Another variety
is reported to attain the height OF
eighty feet with trunk three feet IN
diameter, while still other varieties
were mere bushes growing along the
rocky shore or in the inaccessible high
lands. The wood of each species was
compact, fine-grained, and of a vel
Iowish color. On account of its re-
markabIe fragrance ii was called by
the natives laau ala (odoriferous wood,
while the name of the tree itself Is
iIiahi (fre BARK. In China 1t was
purchased by the picul of 1SS IL
pounds, the price varying from eight
to ten dollars for the picul To-day
genuine sandalwood is worth in China
from $50 to $3.50 a ton. In that coun-
try there was a great demand for the
wood where il was and is still used
for ornamental carving, framework
for fans. for perfumes and as incense
in Buddhist temples. 1t is especially
valuable for cabinet work for insects

wood.
The traffic in sandalwood marked
the first commercial period in the his
tory of the Hawaiian Islands. In
some way the presence of the tree was
suddenly discovered by early voy-
ayers who knew its value and it seems
TO have been American ships that in
stituted the trade. for in 1892 two
men were left from a Boston brig on
the island of Kauai to contract for
several cargoes of sandalwood for the
China trade. The chiefs sent their

Gov. Folks Aphorisms.

Gov. Folks lecture on Good Citi-
zenship" which he is delivering at
chautauQua assemblies this year. con
tains some terse sayings which every
good citizen should keep in mind The
following are some of them:
"A man should be patriot in peace
as well as in war.
There are enough laws on the stat
ute books; enforce them.
"A vote dodger is as bad as a tax
dodger.
Wherever there's open gambling
there's graft
IF you're one of 75,OOO,O0O free per
sons you're just that much difference
between citizen and subject.
More laws mean less obedience.
There's more noise with the law
breakers than with thousand honest
voters.
The community doesn't exist where
would assert itself
a thief steals from one person. a
CRATER from the community
Some of these declarations are a bit
startling. but they will all bear auaiy-
sis. Especially is il true that every
community has exactly the kind of a
government it really wants and is
willing TO put forth the necessary IF
fort to obtain. The honest voters ey
erywhere as Gov Folk asserts, are
largely in the majority and corruption
lists and grafters form only an incon
siderable part of the population But
too often good citizens are Indifferent
and careless in the performance OF
civic duty. while the dishonest and Vi
cious are invariably active. resOurcefu
and untiring in the accomplishment OF
their ends If the lawabiding elements
in a community were one-haf rs inter
ested and energetic in behalf of good
government as the lawless are in be
half Of bad government there would bt
small room for complaint about the
evils of municipal rule. II is high time
that good citizens should have the fac
brought home 10 them that inasmuct
as they are largely in the majority
they are primarily responsible FOL
whatever kind Of government com
munity has
What Gov Folk says about entOrc
ing present laws instead of enacting
new ones has been said time and again
but it viii bear repetition many more
times. His statement that more laws
mean less obedience" Is everlastingly
true. He is also right in making nc
distinction between the crime of tht
man who steals from an individual and
the one who steals from community
Both are guilty of theft and should be
punished alike. Gov. Folk has giver
the American people something &C
think about and i, is 10 he hoped thai
his clear cut declarations will crystal
ize in.o elective action IN behalf Of
better local government everywhere.
