emily none the worse for the wear and
tear of the past week. He has been
overwhelmed with Congratulations.
They came from all directions and
from persons in all walks of life. There

HAVE NEW ISSUE.
Democrats Will Take Up the Long and
Short Haul Proposition.

Democrats Will Take Up the Long and
Short Haul Proposition.
Des Moines. Aug. 3.-The democrats
expect to dignity the long and short
haul proposition into an issue in the
coming state campaign, if it is pos
sible. Their county conventions are
being asked by politicians to pass reso-
lutions indorsing the long an'i short
haul idea as applied to competing
points on Iowa business. And it is said
that at Waterloo, Tuesday there will
be a proposal to include a declaration
of this character in the platform.
Governor Cummins vetoed the long
and short haul bill, as it was known,
which was passed by the late legisla-
ture. In his message he had referred
to the subject but the bill which was
passed by the legislature applied to
both freight and passenger traffic. Had
the measure applied solely to passenger
business 1t is possible 1t might have
been approved, tho the governor has
not definitely committed himself on
that subject
The influence which will be respon
sible for a declaration in the demo-
cratic platform on this subject in
criticism of the governors veto. recess
sarily will be the railroads. They are
DESTROYS of the legislation. They asked
for it at the time of the hearing before
the governor as to signing or vetoing
the bill. Some of the short lines OPP
posed it, but all the big railroads are
for it.
1t is said that some of the shippers
may interest themselves, also, in the
matter; and the democrats hope to
make ii an issue of the campaign.
Many shippers are interested for the
reason that they desire to ship over the
longer lines sometimes, for perfectly
legitimate reasons, such as avoiding
transfers from and to other cars. I'm
der the present rate law they cannot do
So
On the other hand, the short lines be-
lieve that such law would drive them
out of business. They do not see how
they can compete 1t at all the cross
points on their lines, the bigger rail-

Clinton, Aug. "a great lumbe:
famine In the near future is among
the possibilities, according to William
Wilkinson, contracting lumber agent
for the Illinois Central railway, and
one of the best posted men on the sub
ject in the country. In an interview
this week he said:
The southern forests are evapor-
ating like drop OF dew. 1t Will be
only few years until the south can
no longer supply the market for yell
low pine. Ninety four per cent of
the forests of Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Michigan is exhausted, and the
southern mills are now filling the or
ders which once went to the mills on
the Upper Mississippi river.
Lumber prices can never he any
lower, except on rare varieties. On the
other hand, they will continue to ad-
vance. ! anticipate an appreciable
increase In yellow pine during the
coming twelve months A great deal
of building Is going on all over the
country, and great inroads are being
made upon southern forests. Great
lumber mills have been erected at
scores of towns in Mississippi What
is known as the first growth--trees
which have reached maturity - is
nearly gone. and they are now cutting
down pines no more than four inches
thick.
Cut Young Trees.
.'rhe tracts along the railroad lines
will be cut within very few years.
and new areas must be opened up
back from the railroads. No formal
restriction Is placed upon the cutting
of timber, and the demand Is so great
that the private corporations are fore
ed to cut the young trees before they
reach maturity. 1t takes twenty five
years to grow a tree from which six
teen inch timber Is cut. so you can see
Just how rapidly the forests are eaten
into.
1T is too early for legislation which
will prohibit the cutting of young trees
and so conserve the supply Property
rights are different in this country
from lnOSe III Europe. Inc OWHeES VI
timber land would not consent for a
moment to restriction of the right to
cut trees.
But sooner or later such legisla-
ton must come. 1t will be after the
lumber supply is practically exhaust
ed. and nothing is left but the second
and third growths. Then, after sew
eral generations, the forests will catch
up, and lumber will be on the market
once more.
Concrete in Future.
I'm the light of this lumber famine,
builders are watching with the great
est interest, and 1t Is freely predicted
that concrete reinforced with steel rods
is the building material Of the future.
1t is the topic Of absorbing interest
among architects and contractors, and
promises to work revolution in build
ing. We used to think that iron and
steel could be relied upon when every
thing else failed, but it seems that even
the iron supply is running short. Con-
crete can always be had in. any guam
tity and, once it has settled into shape
you can't knock it down with dyna-
mite"

EQUAL TO TIE OCCASION.

In a Sunday school in Georgetown
they have a system of calling the roll
which differs interestingly from most
methods. In the infant class each lit
tie child is given a small card showing
the picture of a bee. Below the bee
is word-''guod" or pure" or Kind. -
When the chflds name is called it
rises and says: BE good" BE pure, y
BE kind" instead of the customary
Present" or Here"
Recently a new scholar tiny, tim
i'll gfrl-for some reason was given no
card. When the roll was called and
she heard all the other children say
ing their 'bes" her little face grew
more and more troubled, but she was
equal to the occasion, for when the
end of the roll was reached and her
name was called, she rose and said:
"Be-have!"

PROS 7ERITY.

That there is extraordinary pros
perity in this country is proven b!
the figures furnished by Dun's Com
mercial Agency.
The average selling price of prod
ucts has gone up perhaps S5 pei
cent. in the last decade.
The cost of living has gone up even
above the high prices of year ago.
There is a superstition that inven
lions and improvements in machinery
and increased facilities for transpor.
tation bring a constant decline in
prices.
But the fact is that prices generally
are higher today than they have been
at any other time in the last twenty
five years.
This is fine showing for prospect
ty. But for whom?
Meats, controlled by the beef trust,
are higher than in twenty-five years.

wing members of the Senate which

survivors is William Sprague who was
born on September IL, 1880, and the
Oldest is John CONFESS, who was born
on September 20, 1921. The survivors
were all republicans at the time Of
the impeachment trial, but two of
them-Henderson and Ross-yoted
against conviction. The trial was in
1868, and the friends of President
Johnson claimed that Nebraska, which
was admitted into the Union in 1861
was admitted on purpose to give the
republicans the requisite number of
votes in the Senate to convict him At
the time CT the trial the Senator from
other than Thayler was
Thomas w. Upton, who in 1872 sup
ported Horace Greeley for president
and who remained a democrat for the
balanced of his life. OF those who
voted to convict the president, one
besides Upton, namely, Lyman Trum

A LAcoNlc INTERVIEW.

On one occasion, while staying al
the Autrail baths at Teplitz, in 1929
; Frederick William III was informed
| by one Of his Generals in attendance
that there was sojourning at Teplit2
Hungarian magnate equally cele
brated for his taciturnity. The King
/ EXPRESSED the desire to see him by
means of the brief command, Bring
HIM"
An interview was arranged without
the Hungarian being informed of the
identity of the elderly German officer
whom he was about to meet.
The King began the conversation
with the monosyllable inquiry,
'Baths?" to which the other replied,
equally briefly, Drink" meaning, of
course, that he took the water inter-
naIly.
'MfIiteire?" continued the King,
wishing to know if the Magyar was
an officer in the army. To this ques-
ton the other responded, shaking his
head, "Magnate," that being the title
given to the members Of the Chamber
of Peers at Budapest.
ALI" said the King.
"General?" inquired the magnate.
King said Frederick William III,
by way of indicating his rank.
The Hungarian nobleman dotted his
bonnet and with the word "Compli-
ments," bowed and withdrew.
The King himself saluted, and thus
brought to close one of the most
laconic interviews that have ever
taken place between a sovereign and
a noble.
