USING Up THE WHOLE TREE
Lumbeln,en Utilizing WOsM That

From the Baltimore Sun.
Washington, Jan. 12.-Lnmbermen

auce all kinds Of waste in wood,
whether for building, fire or paper,
and their efforts have been especially
directed to the better utilization of

The Department of Agriculture. in
special report just issued, states
thet the old fashioned vertical, stiff
back saws which were operated by
wstcr power, made a cut almost half
an inch wide. Then came the circular
saws. which increased the speed and
reduced tho waste These have now
been supplanted by modern banl
saws, which In some cases make a cut
OF not more thar one-cighth Of nm
inch wide and rcvolve with tremendous
rpeed. All the other parts Of the mill
machinery have shown marked I'M
provement.
These changed conditions have re-
volutionszcd the logging methods of
large lumber companies in the South.
Instead Of telling the tree and saw
ing it into logs in the woods they
simply trim of the branches anc

Columbia, Jan. 17.-Instcad Of hav-
Ing claim asainst the State Of South
Carolina for $ss.s2s.7s. II is found By
the commission to wind mp the State
dispensary that the two firms Of Un-
man 4 20. and the. Anchor Distilling
Company are indeb-ed to the State in
the sum OF ss1.ss0.72.
This h the finding OF the commits
sis'n. unanimously agreed to today by
all the members present. Mr.. Arthur

state il arrived at by calculating the
overcharyes mado against the State
by these two concerns during the
time they dld business with the dis
pensary. and then offset,ing the
charges with the claim as adjusted
from tn" books of the dispensary.
In gcing to the bottom Of this sort
