Awakening to the Need OF Forest
Preservation.

"In the last ten years, says the
yearbook of the Department Agricul-

in this country from an almost I'M
known science to a useful growing
profession. In that time the number
of technically trained foresters has
increased from less than dozen to
oyer 400. Ten years ago there was
not a single forest school in the coun-
try; now there are several profession
al forest schools which rank with
those of Europe, and a score more
with courses in elementary forestry
whose usefulness is steadily growing
Forest lands under management have
grown from one or two tracts to many,
aggregating 7,503,O0 acres, scattered
through 80 states. The National For
ests have increased from 100000 t
acres, practically unused and unpro'
tected. to 1865 100000 acres, used,
guarded, and imprnveds both in pro-

years ago, except for few of the
foremost botanists, European forest
ers knew more about American forests
than did the people of this country.
In Europe they were then using pre-

beech ties, and so adding from twenty
to forty years to their life. Here, Cd

had been laid, though there are now
60 treating plants, q of which treat

recently returned from Europe reports
that both in size and mechanical per-

country is ahead of any to be found
abroad.

Rice Land Brings its Value in Rent i'm
One Year.

A sample of what rice will do for
the owner came to our notice the first
of the week, when G.. S. SaXby, who
had rented twelve acres Of land from
Aveon Fontenot, sold the crop and
gave the owner check for $ll8.57, or
practically SO per acre rent money.
This was purely for rent of land, not
including water fertilizer sacks or
anything else, the land being rented
for One-siXth Of the proceeds OF the
crop, the tenant marketing and selling

doubtless the same care and attention
given to new land would have brought
even bettS results. Thus, the land

Orrine Destroys Desire for Drink
"How to Swear Off,"
1t was formerly customary for the
habitual drinker to take the pledge
regularly, sometimes once year. and

Break it.
But now it is gradually dawning on
| the world that pledges do not stop
drunkenness. When a man takes a
pledge voluntarily, he expects to keep
it. Every man expects to keep his
word, and every broken pledge costs
the drunkard many a heartache. But
he cannot help it. He fights as long
as he can, then succumbs to the crav-
ing. The nervous system of the habit
ual drinker is diseased and he must
have treatment that will cure this con-
dition.
Orrine is sold under positive guar
antee to cure the drink habit or the
money will be refunded. No other
treatment for the liquor habit is sold
with such liberal guarantee.
| Orrine is prepared in two forms; No.
1 powder, perfectly tasteles and col
orless, which can be given secretly
in any food or drink. Orrine No. 2,
is in pill form, for those who wish to
be cured of the habit. and it should be
taken by every one who swears off.
No matter which form of Orrine is
used the guarantee is the same. The

declaring SchuetZen park and Subur-

tory and beyond the protection of the

among some 80 other saloon keepers
similarly situated, and a number of
these are consulting attorneys relative
to bringing suit against Scott county
for the recovery of the mulct tax ille-
gally collected from them in past years.
These saloon keepers insist that if the
mulct law did not apply to them and
has given them no protection, the board
of supervisors has been in error in
collecting it and that such assessment
and collection has been illegal. Their
views in this regard are sustained by
several leading attorneys of the city.
On the other side, it is contended that

conducting an illegal business they will
have no standing in court

Ex-Cashier Arrested. - Chief of Po-

I. j. Lloyd of Tonganoxie, Kan, stat
ing he had under arrest at the place
a man answering the description of
julius A. Redman of Davenport. Chief
Atkinson turned the telegram over to
Sheriff Eckhardt, and the latter will
bring the prisoner, if he proves the
right party back to Davenport. Red
man was for years one of the well
known and popular young men of Dav-
export. He started in the barber bust
ness and later took course in a COM
mercial school, after which he secured
a position as cashier with the Daven-
port Office of the Standard Oil COM
pany. While SO engaged he is alleged
to have embeZzled in the neighbor-
hood of $1,400. Part of this was paid
back by relatives of the young man,
and it was believed no prosecution
would follow. Mr.. Redman was under
