Francisco, perfect prototype of julius
Caesar, living monument to the as
sertion that history repeats itself.
CAESAR REINCARNATED
Another theory is that Tharp may be
julius Caesar reincarnated. If so, Tharp
has yet to learn the fact. Rider Hag-
gard and Rudyard Kipling have drawn
interesting and fanciful studies of men
who have peered across the chasm sep
arating the eternities. but Tharp has
none of the characteristics which made
life so much of a burden for those in
teresting heroes lugged forth before
the public in the demands of big royal
ties. He does not sometimes have
strange yearnings to make Mr. Phar-
naces hit the high places. Never to him
has been waited the scent of the SHOWS
of the Pyrenees. No Pompey's chopped
head appears in his dreams When he
sees the fire department going down
the street his mind does not involun-
tarily turn to thoughts of Alexandria
and vercingetorix troubles him as little
as does his appendix. As reincarnated
Caesar he is not drawing card He
does not catch himself signing at the
thought of Cleopatra whenever the
beauty chorus in the musical extrava-
ganza trips on the stage.

ports Apparent exceptions to this rule appear in the
cases OF Bulgaria and Servia These countries while al
present importing wood than they export possess
considerable of forest inaccessible and, with
the development of of exploitation and the In
creased demand for lumber they will in time become ex
porting countries
From this may infer that country in order to be
sefsustaning regards its timber supply must have
an of about 100 of forest land for every 100
inhabitants. The to supply all the wood
needed for home consumption win vary OF course with
the per capita consumption and the 100 acres per 100
inhabitants must be considered the minimum area, be-
cause it is based moderate capita consump
ton such is found in densely populated countries OF
Europe, like Germany France
The same minimum area for every 100 inhabitants
necessary to make country sesustaining also be
deduced in another way At present Germany imports
353000000 cubic feet of wood from abroad To produce
this amount of timber Germany would have to possess
forest of 100000 addition to the $4,000
600 now available. In other words, she would need
52OOO000 acres of forest in order to meet her own TIM
Der requirements 93.2 for every 100 inhabf
tants. Germany is extremely good example with
which the productivity Of the forests of all other coun
tries be compared, because her
forests can be taken as standard OF

There i got very little exercise and
drinking strong coffee, my nerves
were unsteady and my stomach got
weak and was soon very sick man.
I quit meat and tobacco and in fact
stopped eating everything which
thought might affect me except cofee,
but still my condition grew worse, and
was all but wreck.
Il finally quit coffee and com,
menced to use Postum a few years
ago, and / am speaking the truth
when say, my condition commenced
to improve Immediately and today
am well and can eat anything want

In this country, where the per cap
tia consumption is six times as great
as that in Germany or France and the
annual growth per acre may be estf'
mated roughly as one-third OF that IN
those countries, the forest area would
have to be 1900 acres for each 100 IN
habitants, or more than twice the pres
ent area, In order to maintain the pres
ent cut The present area OF 775 acres
for every 100 inhabitants at the pres
ent per capita consumption and an
nual growth per acre would be sutfi-
cient to meet our own needs II there
were not present a supply OF virgin
timber, the accumulated capital or
centuries, to meet the deficiency. With
the exhaustion of this remaining VIZ
gin supply, which can last only about
30 years more, there must come time
when not only all our exports OF tim
Der must cease, but there will not be
enough wood for home consumption.
Even as it is, the total exports OF
wood from this country amount to only
Eve per cent of the lumber cut, while
the surplus of exports over imports is
only 18 per cent.-an Insignificant
amount. This shows clearly that we
have practically ceased to be an ex-
porting country and the tendency win
be more and more toward becoming a
wood-importing country.
How shall this shortage be met?
With an increasing demand for land
for agricultural crops there is little
hope of increasing the extent Of forest
land. AS we have seen, the area nee
