According to a bulletin issued by the
Forestry Service, a shortage in the sup
ply of hardwood lumber will occur in
the next decade. The present indica-
tions are" the report says, that in
spite of the best We can do there will
be shortage of hardwoods running
thru at least Is years. We now have
about ID years supply ready to cut.
''Of the four great hardwood re-
gions, the Ohio Valley States have been
almost completely turned into agricui-
tural States, and the Lake States and
idly following. In the Appalachian
Mountains extensive hardwood lands
have been culled and greatly damaged
by fire"
A failure in the hardwood supply,
the report says, would be a blight upon
many industries through more than a
generation. The solution will be found
in the maintenance of a permanent sys-
| tenn of forestry on a sufficiently large
area to produce a large proportion OF
the hardwood the Nation requires. This
hardwood forest reserve tire report
says, should be located in the Appala-
chian MolHtains.

Republican candidate carrying the
Southern States" said John f. Ryan, a
former newspaper man of New York
who now lives in Chicago when he is
not travelling about the country. Il;
makes no difference who the candidate
might be. He might be the most popu-
lar man with the people that ever APP
peared in public life, but there is no
more chance of turning the Southern
voters than there is of bridling the
suns rays.
The Democrat of the South is 'sot in
his ways He is a Democrat because
he was brought up one, and a Demo-
crat he will remain. He will continue
to vote the Democratic ticket as long
as he lives and will as often thank his
stars that his ticket doesn't win. He
knows in his own consciousness that
the Republican Party stands for pros
perity and that that party has made
the South prosperous, but you can't
change the leopard's spots"

cles of many kinds. BY high tariff
rates, by severe restrictions, and even
by direct prohibitions. the markets of
Europe have been made difficult Of cap-
