FOR HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
Present Condition of Country'S Forest
Resources.

Few people have anything like a clear
idea of the amount of forest wealth left
in this country. Those who think at all
about this natural resource which has
assisted in material development since
the landing of the first settlers, are
usually too much influenced by the con-
dition of that particular State or section
in which they are most familiar
If they live in a much deforested or a
treeless region, the people usually
imagine that the country's timber sup
ply is even more limited than is actually
the fact. On the other hand, with those
whose homes are located in section
where pinch in timber has not been
experienced, the feeling is likely to be
altogether the other way, and some be-
come so Indifferent at times as to think
that there is really not much reason to
worry fabout timber problem. Both
can profit by a reading Of the actual
facts.
The forests of the United States now
cover about $50 million acres, or about
one fourth OF the land of the whole
country. The original forests covered
not less than $50 million acres, or nearly
one-half.
The forests owned by the government
covers one-fourth of the total forest
area, and contains one-ffth of all tim
Der standing. Forests privately owned
cover three-fourths of the area, and
contain four of the standing tim
Der. Besides having three times the
area and four times the forests, the
cumberland privately owned is generally
more valuable.
Forestry, or conservative numbering,
is practiced on 70 per cent. of the for
ests publicly Sowned and on less than
per cent of the forests privately own
ed. This covers the country's forest
resources as they stand to-day. Senator
Smoot, Chairman of the Section of For
ests of the National Convention Com
mission, in outlining the future has
said:
"By reasonable thrift we can produce
constant timber supply beyond our
present need and with it conserve the
usefulness of our streams for irrigation,
water supply, navigation, and power.
'Under right management our forests
will yield over four times as much as
now. We can reduce waste in the
woods and in the mill at least one third,
with present as well as future profit.
We can perpetuate the naval stores in
dustry. Preservative treatment will
reduce by one-fifth the quantity of tim
Der used in the water or in the ground.
1--WE can practically stop forest fires
at total yearly cost Of one-fifth the
value of the standing timber burned
each year, not counting young growth.
eve shall suffer for timber to meet
our needs until our forests have had
time to grow again. But if we act
vigorously and at once, we shall escape
permanent timber scarcity"

Whatever view may be held as to
woman suffrage it is clear that the
present movement having for its OBJ
jet the securing Of the suffrage has
passed the age when it can be treated
with riducule or as an inconsequen-
tial matter. With Sweden Austra=
liza and New Zealand granting the
suffrage within the last year, with
woman suffrage in four of our own
states, and with the great activity
md influence displayed in Great
Britain, certain it is that the de-
.ands now being made upon many
D our state legislatures to grant
votes t. woman have an insistence
md force never before felt.

The recent state legislature did
not make itself popular with the
people OF the state when 1t spent
money with a lavish hand, and the
press of the stlte is condemning its
extravaganza in severe language.
There is a growing feeling that the
people should be consulted when it
comes t, spending money belonging
to them, but the recent legislature
seems to have INDUCED in the APP
propriation business without even
reading the figures in the various
bills.
Anyhow the recent legislature
did not seem to do what the people
of the st tie expected, or what they
were pledged to do in behalf of thl
Republican party. The local option
bill is not what it should be, an@
there is no doubt that the saloon in
terests had big influence in the
lie 5islatnrc. 1t is the general opin-
ion that when the saloon interests
prevented the passage of a thoroly
satisfactory option bill they brought
more trouble on their own heads.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

For grease spots on black goods,
sponge with a teaspconful of am
monia in one pint of water; this is
excellent and safer than gasoline.
Grated raw potato bound on a
burn will alleviate the pain and pre-
vent blistering; when the pain sub
sides, bind on the burn bit of cot
ton saturated with linsecd oil. This
will heal.
For da,kened tinware, put into a
boiler of water a handful each of
salt and sal soda, and boil the tins
in this for while, remove and rub
thoroughly dry with soft, dry
cloth. All seams will be cleaned by
this boiling.
When making boiled starch shave
into little water very little white
soap and when dissolved add to the
starch, heating in thoroughly. The
clothes will iron much more salts
| factorily.
\ fowl should always be placed
upon its knees, instead of upon its
back; then the juices will naturally
fall, making the white meat, which
is apt to be dry, juicy and delec-
table. Fifteen minutes before scrv-
ing, turn tn fowl upon its back, to
brown the breast.
Instead Of using soap and water,
which will often turn wicker fur
niture yellow, try a solution of salt

like new.
