South, resulting IN that officials finding
great enthusiasm In favor OF President

the company of the Hon. Cecil Lyon, who
holds the Texas suffrage in his hip pocket,
at Damsite. which is the name of Cecirs

But was he In Damsite?
Not by a Jugrul, according to those

or that he hooked a bass In Texas He
may have been in Onion. Tenn. OF,

PRESERVING TIMBER SUPPLY
Mr.. Pinchot Tells of Great Worl.

VIII Last Only Twenty
Years More

Mr.. Clifford Pinchot chief Of the United
States Forest Service, arrived in Wash
ington yesterday morning. after six
months absence on field trip. which
took him over more than 1900 miles OF
the West. The forester was not ex-
pected in the city until to-day. but he
managed 10 beat his schedule by a day
When see last night. he said:
Il am much pleased with the condition
in which I have found all the national
forests. The field administration has
been improved wonderfully in efficiency
and considering the limited number OF
men available. l do not see how it could
be bettered at present.
The government IS now carrying OF
one Of the greatest feats Of improvement,
attempted in national forests. Thousands
Of miles Of telephone lines, roads and
trails. and bridges are being built tc
make the forest regions accessible.
The question OF future timber supply
is serious one. II must be remem-
bcred that the government has in the
national forests only about One-ffth OF
the country's timberland. The remainder
is in the hands Of private owners, who
Tor the most part. are not making the
best use OF the forest resources. De-
struction Of the countrys forests will
affect every man. woman, and child in
this country and the devastation Of
Americas forests will bring about a con
ditOn which viii greatly affect the
country's prosperity. The timber supply
at the present rate Of cutting, will prob
ably last for twenty years, which is an
exceedingly short time in the life OF a
nation. The remedy lies in applying
methods OF forestry which is nothing
more than cons rvative numbering. 10
