Minnesota probably does not exceed
20. O00, 100000 feet, Last year the total
cut Of pine in these three states was
but about S.292, 100000 feet. At that
rate the stumpage will be exhausted

ALABAMA FORESTRY
HER LAWS CoMMENDED BY MAJ
 TqONAL BUREAU.
This Leads Commissiener of Michigan to Write for Explanation of System of This State to
 Preserve Forests.

Tn testimony of the excellent start Alabama is making for the preserva- tion of her natural resources and the reputation which her statutes have won abroad. the following communca- ton has been received by Hon. John H. Wallace. Jr.. State Game and Fish Commissioner and Secretary of the State Commission of Forestry. from Hon. Charles S. Pierce, State Game. Fish and Forestry Warden of Michi- gan.
 'T am endeavoring to increase the efficiency of the fire warden service of this State. The Bureau of Forestry at Washington advises me that your State has one of the best laws upon the subject and one of the best or ganized departments of forestry. I would like to know something about your system of work and your methods of preventing and suppressing forest fires. and would be glad to receive any printed matter that you may have for distribution''
 Commissioner Wallace speaking of the Alabama laws. said
 The forestry laws of Alabama pro- vide an excellent system for the pres ervation of the timbered interests of this State. It is a weil-known fact that no law can be made effective without a specially constituted service to enforce it's provisions. Unless this Is done. 1t is a mere nullity on the statute books and iss best repealed.
 "The law provides that the courts of County Commissioners or Boards of Revenue in the various counties of the State may appropriate annually as compensation for the game wardens, who. under the law. are OK officio for est wardens, the sum of $250, or so much thereof as they may deem best to be paid to forest wardens in re- turn for their duties in caring for the forests of this State and in insti- tuting prosecutions against those who commit miraculous of these statutes. In Crenshaw County, Judge Tankers- ley is tacing a great interest in mak- Ing the provision of the forestry laws made known to his peeopIe. In other sections of the State. the citizens have awakened to the appreciation of the fact that the forests of Alabama con- etitute the Staye's most general re- sources and are making diiigent efforts to preserve and protect these valuable assets"

 It was proposed in committee that the report of the officials should pc generally approved and remitted to the
 ma agistrates, but this latter proposal
 was rejected by 5 to 3--so little desire did this special committee manifest of probing this social sore, or in tracing the cause or causes of all this drunken
 ness to its source. The matter. how ever. can scarcely end here. for un- willing though the restrictionfsts are to have the matter further ventiiaten. the members of the liquor trade are resolved that the issue should be kept before the public until the responsiot- ity for the admitted scandal Is ascer- tatned. A The leaders of the Glasgow licens- ed trade have issued vigorous criti-
 cism of the official reports. In this re- port to the special committee, the Cnief Constable frankly admitted the evil. and ascribed the primary cause to tne inability of the artisan and laporina
 classes to make good use of money Tn excess of their ordinary requirements. Why these classes in Glasgow should thus be singled out Is not explained. It is a fact that general holidays, the payment of army pensioners, and pay ment to militia on disbandment. cause | excessive drinking and an immediate rise in the number of apprehensions.s The Licensed Trade make strong l poInt of the matter which Is avoided by l the official reports--the tendency oi restriction. to curtail the use of food by | people who are drinking.

Take one example:
 The crank shafts of ordinary cars are suspended from bearing at either end. There is play in the middle Where there is play, there is added strain. And there broken crank shafts as a result.
 In the Mitchell Crank Shaft there are five bear ings. One at each end, and three extra ones in between.
 We have made 5000 crank shafts in this way, and not . single one of them has ever been broken.
 Consider this when you look at any other Sl500 car Open the crank case and bear down on the shaft at its center. See the play and imagine the added strain the pistons exert their power upon it.
 Then decide whether you would rather have tho kind of crank shaft that breaks under sudden stratns-or the kind that, n 5000 cars, has never had to be replaced.
 We eould multiply comparisons endlessly. But ve would rather that yoH see for yourself.

 Almost any manufacturer can turn out a car at $500.
 He can buy his engines of one maker. His transmission of another. Various parts here and there. And at $500 he can still figure a profit.
 The Mitchell car Is made complete at our factory In Racine.
 We build the engines. We grind the pistons. We cut the gears. We case-harden the steel. The same quality of workmanship in an assembled car would cost you 5000 to $2500.
