Washington, Nov. 1S:-Large ap-
plications for burnt timber are being
received at the Forest Service Offices

and contract loggers for information
in regard to good logging chances

Forest Service is refusing to make
sales OF green timber, except where
such action will work hardships on
Inc mill men. This course is being
taken on the theory that every stick

a stick of green timber for future
use.
The Forest Service is now an

His Sarcasm Was Lost.

In his early days at the bar the late
Lord Bowen prosecuted a prisoner
who had been caught in a house at
night crawling downstairs with his
boots off and carrying portable prop
erty. The evidence was so overwhelm-
ing that Bowen yentured to indulge in
a little irony and remarked on the
thoughtfulness of the prisoner in re-
moving his shoes, thus disturbing no.
body, and in selecting only solid sill
yer articles from the plate basket, so
that the family had enough forks and
spoons left for breakfast. The jury
were so impressed with these eXtenu-
ating circumstances that they acquit-
ted the prisoner. Bowen never en-
ployed irony again when addressing a
'"ru IT nndnn Spectator.
