tribute paid to the militant maid
Of Orleans, whom the king
thought mad, when she express
cd her great desire to serve was
characteristic of the times in

America, let a man or woman
diyerge from the time worn
custom of doing things and peo-
pie stand aghast at the method.
Though centuries have passed
away Joan Of Arc still lives in a
song and story. Yet the light
of the 18th century civilization
her militant methods would not
be looked upon with favor even

The poets thought is again
verified Ia these words
New occasions teach new
duties. Time makes ancient
good uncouth.
We must climb upward still,
and onward, if we keep abreast
of truth. Today the men and
women who have dared 10 live
ahead of their time are those
who wage their peaceful war for
God and Home and egauIand.
They are the God fearing COM

Forestry Bureau Tells of Number of
Poles Being Used In the United States

agents of the bureau of the census, in
connection with the census of electri-
cal industries. The companies were
requested to report the number of
poles purchased, because this number
can be much more readily and ac-
curately obtained than the number
produced or the number actually set
in position In the long run, of course,
purchases and consumption are equal
The figures for 1907 include the pur-
chases of practically every company
which bought poles during that year.
Table l shows, for 1906 and 1907, the
purchases of the different kinds of
poles by the three classes of con
sumers
The total purchases of poles in 1871
We're less than in 1906 by GG6G8.
There was, however, an increase of
s75S.471 in the total cost of all kinds
of poles. The average cost per pole
showed an an increase of 81 cents
Cedar poles formed G3.3 per cent of
the total number for 1907. The next
in rank were the chestnut, which
highest average cost of all lengths OF
poles used for all purposes is shown
for cypress, $5.17 pei pole Most of
these poles were bought by the ele-
ctric Tailroad and electric light and
power companies. Tamarack, which is
first time, had the lowest reported
cost, "A cents per pole Most OF these
tamarack poles were purchased by the
telephone and telegraph companies.
In 1907 the telephone and telegraph
companies purchased 2,311 ,651 poles,
or G5.9 per cent Of the total This was
S4,071 poles less than in 1906. The
electric railroad. and electric light and
power companies bought 901,559 poles.
or 25.7 per cent of the total The
purchases of these companies de-
creased by 23,117 poles On the
other hand, the purchases of the
steam railroad companies in 1907 in
creased by 40,520 over those in 1906.
In 1907 the highest average cost is
shown for the poles purchased by the
electric railroad and electric light and
power companies. $G02 Although the
number of poles purchased by these
companies was far below the number
purchased by the telephone and tela-
graph companies, the high. average
cost caused the total cost of the pur.
chases of the former to constitute
over half the total cost of all poles
purchased.
