TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.
A Little Talk on the Matter of Paying
Your Subscription.

Publishers of weekly news
papers throughout the United
States have received notice from
the postoffice department that
papers cannot longer be sent to
subscribers who owe on sub
scription longer than one year.
There are a number of subscrib-
ers taking Mining News who are
affected by the new ruling. The
time is short the publishers are
given to collect back accounts.
To a number of our delinquents
we have sent statements, but the
greater humber of the accounts
have already been placed in the
hands of a good. reliable collec-
ton agency. We hated to do it.
but business is business, you
know, and besides, Uncle Sam
tells us to hurry. We expect to
hear from people who have no
recollection of ever having SUBJ
scribed for the paper, but we call
the attention of such persons to
a ruling by the U. S. supreme
court: as follows.
Taking a periodical from the
postoffice is prima facie evidence
that the person so taking is a
subscriber, unless the periodical
is marked sample copy or
marked copy"
In this connection it might be
well to mention a new ruling that
was put into effect by Mining
News recently. The publisher
has found by experience that
it is not best, and far from good
business practice, to permit him
self to be under obligations"
for more than a year to a reader
who takes the paper without
paying for it. Our ruling is that
we drop the name from the list
when the subscription expires,
unless we know positively that
the Subscriber wants the paper
to continue coming, and will pay
for it. Again we remind you
this is business, and no reflection
on the credit Of the subscriber.

Greatest Lumber Cut.

More lumber was cut in the United
States last year than in any other year
in its history, according to statistics
given out in Washington. The enorm-
Gus amount of 81, $50, 736 board feet was
produced, and the mill value of this was
1921, ISL, 1888. In addition, there were
produced IL, 1853, 260, 900 shingles, valued
at $24, 155, 555, and 1872, SO7, 900 lath,
valued at Sill, 400, $40. On the whole,
it is safe to say that the present annual
lumber cut of the United States ap-
proximates 40 billion feet and that the
total mill value of the lumber. lath, and
shingles each year produced is not less
than S700, 900, 900. These figures give
some idea of how vast is the lumber in
dustry and how great is the demand for
its products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber pro-
duced shows very clearly the passing of
white pine and oak. one the greatest
softwood and the other the greatest
hardwood which the forest has ever
grown. Since 1899 the cut of white
pine has fallen off more than 40 per
cent, while that of white oak has fallen
off more than SO per cent. To-day yell
low pine leads all other woods in amount
cut, while Douglas fr-and this will be
surprise to many-comes second.
Since 1899 the cut of Douglas fiji has in
creased 1876 per cent. Louisiana is the
foremost yellow pine state, with Texas,
Mississippi, and Arkansas following in
order. Washington produces by far the
greatest amount of Douglas FIR.
A comparison of the lumber-produc-
il = states shows that since 1899 there
hayA been many changes in their rela-
tive rank. Washington, which in 1899
stood sixth, now leads, while Wiscon-
sin, which eight years ago led all others,
is now third. In the same period Orc
gen, Louisiana, Mississippi, Idaho, and
California made great strides as lumber
producing states, though, on the other
hand, the amount produced in Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia, Ken
tuc'Fy, Tennessee, Missouri, Jn1ana and
Ohio fell off anywhere from az to 81
per cent

The Girl Who Smiles.

AAS III W AAO OtAhtACSs
The wind was east and the chimney
smoked,
An the old brown house seemed
dreary,
For nobody smiled and nobody joked.
The young folks grumbled, the ok folks
croaked,
They had come home chilled and
weary.
Then opened door and girl came in;
Oh, she was homely-very;
Her nose was pug and her Cheek was
thin,
There wasn't a dimple from brow to
chin,
But her smile was bright and CHEEKY.
She spoke not word of the cold and
damp,
} Nor yet of the gloom about her,
But she mended the fire and lighted
the lamp,
And she put on the place different
stamp
From that it had without her.
They forgot that the house was dull
old place,
And smoky from base to rafter,
And gloom departed from every face
AS they felt the charm of her mirthful
grace
And the cheer of her happy laughter.
oh, give me the girl that will smile and
sing,
And make all glad togetHerl
To be plain or fair is lesser thing,
But kind, unselfish heart can bring
Good cheer in the darkest weather.

The highest-priced native woods are
walnut, hickory and ash, and the cheap
est are larch and white fir. From the
fact, however, that since 1899 the

before cheap woods are few and far be-
