Many people in the past few
weeks have gone tc the West in
search of cheap farm lands, aud
while a very few will find their
investment profitable, by far
the greater number will lind the
hard conditions imposed by the
opening of new lands too great
a task for them, and their claims
will be abandoned or sold for a
nominal sum. 1t would seem to
be the part of wisdom for men
fortunate enough to own farms
in Missouri to rest content with
the advantages they already pos
seSs, rather than sell for the
doubtful advantages to be de
rived from the opening of new
territory in a region where eli
mate, soil and crops present new
and difficult problems. Missouri
farm property is steadily in.
creasing in value, the crops are
as varied and as reliable as in
any of the older States, while
there are none of the hardshipS
to be endured by pioneers in a
new country. The moral is; if
you havea farm in Missouri,
stick to it closer than a brother.

There ought to be some way
to prevent newspaper writer's

making broad assertions. 1t
not only calls attention to their

Does the American public de-
mand sham aud pretense in the
men it eleyates to position and
.powers The question is asked
in view of the strained effort Of
a number of Folk newspapers 10
create political capital out of the
fact that Senator Stones recent
quarrel with a negro dining cur
waiter on the Baltimore 4 Ohio
railroad followed the negroes
failure to fll his order for a
Scotch high-blll. Ordinarily,
other things being equal, Athe
Scrap Bag prefers that the man
in apublic place refrain from the
use of liquor, yet it has ten times
more respect for the mlniwho if
he does drink, does not lie about
it than for the modern reform
er, who, while consuming as
much or more, either affects
openly not to or by ranting
about the liquor evil leads that
part Of the general public COP
posed to the use of alcoholic
drinks altogether to infer that
he is a total abstainer. The
public and political life of the
country is rotten with them,
men who make a prohibition
speech in one town one day,
seattle the hell holes, and libel
those who from an honest con.
viction sign saloon petitions, and
on the next day are seen leaning
over a bar in an adjacent town
suckingaway at a bottle of beer.
For the great body of temper
ance people, moved by the
sincerest of motives, the Scrap
Bag has the profoundest re-
speot, but every time they push
forward men of this type they
iniure intellectually the cause for
which they are contendiug. The
man who is a prohibitionist at
home and a good fellow away
from home is bound to bring
discredit, AS to Senator Stone,
no man who voted for him but
knew of his personal habits
beforehand, as they did those of
Vest, and of Benton, Marina.
duke, Francis, and a multitude
of party leaders before him.
Just as certainly did many of
those who voted for Mr.. Folk
know that he drank as the time
and the occasion suited. Most
of our public men, though not
given to excess, do drink it
seems, Mr.. Bryan alone being
free from the habit, and while
the fact is to be regretted, it
has always been so, and
any manifestation of surprise is
bound to be affected. We at
least should not demand that

the worker il the field also finds him
self a victim of this disorder. Among
the very greatest sufferers from it are
women.
Dyspepsia is indicated by a constant
feeling OF laziness, by loss OF appetite and
troubled sleep, by sour stomach and dis
tress after eating, by bad complexion and
tusterless eyes.
There is no surer and speedier cure for
this trouble than DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup

Our Timber Supply

quantity and variety of their
timber exceeded the forests of
any other region OF similar size
on the globe, have been reduced
by cutting, clearing, and fire
from an average of $50 million to
one of not more than $50 million,
with a total stand of some $500
billion board feet,
Most of our forests are private
property. About one-ffth of the
standing timber in the county is
held by the Federal Government
in national forests, Indian reser-
vations, national parks, and on
the unreserved public domain,
and by the states in state re-
serves or other state lands.
These public forests contain
more than 100 million acres of
saw timber.
The private forests are of two

tered and detached remnants of
the original forests, They are
mainly in the eastern half of the
United States and cover some
200 million acres, with a stand
of perhaps 800 billion board feet
of saw timber and 1 II billion
cords of wood. Aside from
protective and ornamental value,
they furnish much irewood,
many posts, poles and cross-ties,
and some lumber and cooperage
stock.
The large private hold ings
contain about LOO billion feet.
These holdings generally include
the best timber in the regions in
which they occur, They are
the principal sources of the lum-
Der which is used today, and
upon the manner in which they
are managed depends in a large
degree the timber supply of the
future.
The value of the forest pro-
ducts of the United States in
1907, the last year for which de-
tailed data are available, was
approximately 81, 2S0,OOO,OO0
The fact that timber has been
cheap and abundant has made
US careless of its production and
reckless in its use, We are cut
ting our forests three times as
fast as they are growing. We
take $50 cubic feet of wood per
capita annually from our forests
while Germany uses only 81
cubic feet and France but %.
On the other hand, Germany
makes her state forests produce
an average Of T. cubic feet of
wood per acre.

one of six of the company's employees
charged with conspiracy, offered to let
him name his own price to hush the
thing up. and how BTZezinsky, Splitter s
partner, hooked him by the arm and
