the arid and semi-arid portions Of the
Western states nearly 124, 900, 900
acres are covered with woodland, of
value for fuel, fence posts and other
purposes essential to the success of the

acres covered with heavy forests hav-
ing commercial value for timber and
logs for sawmills, also hundreds of
thousands Of acres of timber lands in
other parts of the United States. Re-
forestation and conservation of the
vast resources are necessary to provide
future generations with timber and
lumber supplies. The government is
expending large amounts Of money
every year to protect its forests from
fires, yet expert lumbermen say that
more standing timber is destroyed by
flames annually than is converted into
merchantable lumber by the sawmills. "

In all the circle Of all your ac-
quaintances, in all the circle Of all
your reading, do you know of single
Millionaire? l don't mean-do you
think you know. mean-do you know
that you know of single capitalist
who is really a billionaire? That is a
lot of money, you know, says Agnes c.
laut in Outing. At per cent inter-
est 1t means an income of three and
third million dollars a month. I'm
not talking of capital that is a quarter
water and quarter hot air and only
half hard cash or convertible realty.
I'm talking of wealth that can be
handled with your hands and measured
with your eyes, wealth that doesn't
require cOnvulsions of frenZied finance
to be converted into terms of the mint.
You acknowledge frankly you don,
really know of a single Millionaire in
the history of the world. Much less do
you know Of any group of capitalists in
the world whose combined wealth
would make twenty billions and whose
twenty billions pay a yearly dividend
of seven billions. 4 dividend of
SI,00O,000,O00 a year means an income

Any capitalist or group of capitalists
who had to take care of that much
money a day would have genuine con-
vulsions in frenzied finance.
Such capitalist, collectively, is the
United States farmer. Such divi-
dend. collectively, does the soil of the
United States yearly hand out to the
farmer-man. By the last census the
capital invested in agriculture in the
United States was twenty billions, and
by the last report of the agricultural
department the products of the farm
for 1907 yielded grand total of seven
billions. Compare these figures to the
billion-dollar steel trust, over which
the whole world went daffy few years
ago: and the magnitude of the great
ness-anG of the growing greatness
of agricultural interests in America be-
comes apparent. In fact, it would be
hard to put your hand on single de-
partment OF Industrial life, or construc-
tive work in the United States, which
would compare in Importance to the
permanent value and yearly yields or
the farm. Then remember, too, that
of all the manufacturing interests In
the United States 75 per cent are de-
pendent on the farm for raw products.

1t was a very simple message, but the

enough on the turf TO know that tele-

1t appears 10 say. 1t disquieted him
much. He wished that he had driven

would have been off much sooner. In

After heightened conference with his

Grenville Rose was fellow traveller with
him and they even occupied the same car

them.
Upon entering the Theatine, the first
thing Pearman saw in the hall, on cast

We must now revert to what Mrs.
Hudson did upon receipt of her telegram
as harmless, apparently, as "the pork
chops and tomato sauce Of Pickwick's
immortal history. Yet even in that case
great events from trivial causes sprang."
That lady is destined to be as much dis
turbed in a monetary point of view as
Mrs. Bardell: but infinitely more to her
own advantage
