SAVING THE roHns1's.

The increasing use Of cement is doing
its fair share towards the conservation
Of the American forest. Twenty years
ago, we built all our sidewalks Of lum.
Der; today wood sidewalk is something
of freak in well-built city. Ten years
ago cement house was uncommon; TO-
day it has become popular. Edison says
that in the near future good eight room
house can be constructed Of cement in
twenty-four hours without the use Of a
foot of timber, and at cost less than
half the present cost Of building with
timber. In 1908, the total value ofthe
trees used for mining supports In this
country amounted to over one hundred
million dollars; today cement is being
used for these sapports andit forms a
practically indestructible substitute for
timbers which have been increasing in
price as they have grown more scarce.
The increasing use of cement for bridge
tiles, for bridges, for buildings, for min
ing supports, for sidewalks, for hitching
posts, and even for railroad ties. has
taken great strain off the forests and if
they are protected from fires, the forest
will improve in this country as
It has improved in Germany. In many
cities the waste paper is collected in re-
,eptacles conveniently placed, baled and
'old to paper manufacturers at $9.40 a
.on. Immense quantities of this waste
paper are now baled and saved, serving
he double purpose of keeping city
,lean, and of making nice little profit
while protecting to that degree the forest
If the country. The need of saving the
waste paper is just beginning to dawn |
IN the American people but the idea is
lrilling in fast and this little item of
crest economy will soon begin to count. |

Condition Of the State Treasury.

The August first statement of the
Treasurer shows total of $780,, ,592 on
hand in all funds. Contrary to the usual
condition, a greater part Of this is in
the general fund, it coming up with
$20S,777. This means that the State will
not register any warrants for some time
to come, as it is more than enough to
carry over the September call for taxes,
which call will probably bring enough
to carry through the quarter, and the
December call will give surplus to
start the new year with the Legislature
in session.
The twine plant fund shows but $780,.
07S; the capital building fund $9,294.
The game fund shows up at $lo, ,03S, with
the license fees for this year barely be-
ginning to come in.

CLOSE OF VOLUME THIRTY.

Three decades - thirty years have
passed since the first issue of the CUSTER
WEEKLY CHRONICLE. The papers are
few and far between that the same hand
remains at the helm to guide its desti-
mics 80 many years through the trials
and tribulations of country journalism
though 1t is the noblest calling on earth.
Another remarkable fact is that the
CHRONICLE has braved the storms of ad-
versity without missing single issue.
Every week year and year out as regular
as clock work the CHRONICLE has been
welcome visitor to the fireside of its
readers carrying to them the local events
transpiring in this community.
That this is climate of sunshine and
longevity is fully attested by the large
number of names still on our subscrip-
tion list, placed there on the first issue
this paper.
That the CHRONICLE has become a
household necessity we need cite but
one instance. A lady in Custer (about
the same age of the CHRoNIcLE) and a
reader of its pages since she
her A. B. c., now the mother of
several children, recently made visit
10 an adjoining State. Failing to receive
the paper as ordered to her address, she
wrote her husband to send the missing
papers. Getting more anxious to read
''the news from home" before the papers
sent by her husband reached her, she
wrote sister, saying: "Tell Mr.. Kubler
% send me a paper red-hot from the
press" The word "red-hot" being heav-
ly under-scored.
This reliable family journal now has
'mooth sailing and will continue in the
uture as it has done in the past, to reg
llarly visit the homes of its patrons
,saring on its pages record of events in |
his community, and sharing in the joys
nd sorrows of its neighbors.

The Secretary of State has received
samples of the referendum ballot which
will be presented to the voters at the
November election. 1t contains six diff
ferent laws, and is on a strip of paper
six feet long and ten inches wide. 1t is
printed in nonpariel type, and to read
it would take over half-hour of the
time Of a rapid reader, who would give
it but hurried going over. The con-
stitutional amendment ballot will be
over twenty inches long in addition to
this and would require about twenty
minutes more for consideration. The
law of the State gives each voter five
minutes in which to prepare his ballot,
and in this he will be expected to pass
upon the six feet of laws, and arrange
his general ballot, which will keep him
going some.

With winter wheat yielding all the
way from 30 to 40 bushels per acre, it
should not be hard to stimulate the in

berry is better than the average of spring
wheat in this section. Most of the ex-
periments with winter wheat have been
successful but the increase in its acreage
in South Dakota has been disappoint-

Brookings have committed themselves
unreservedly to the recommendation of
winter wheat and are sending out bull

Country Life Conference Called
for Wis cOnsin.

| A call from the first Wisconsin COun-
try Life Conferences to be held at
| Madison under the auspices of the
College Of Agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin, February 14-15; has just
been issued by Dean I'll. L. Russell.
The purpose Of this conference is to
bring together those who are interested
in the social aspects Of country life and
to describe what has been accomplished
through various agencies in this state.
The two days program will include
general discussions of the social and
economic problems Of country life in
the state. and each afternoon will be
devoted to a Round Table Conference
on particular topics. On Tuesday,
FEBRUARY IA, the functions of the Church
the Business man, and the Farmers or
CARNATIONS will be the subjects for
discussion. Representatives Of these
various lines Of activity in the country
will describe what has actually been
accomplished.
THE Country School, the press and
ary'' will be the subject Of the
Round Table, FEBRUARY 10. This con
ference will be distinguished by the
character of the addresses, which will
consist primarily Of the experiences of
those in intimate contact with WiscOn
sin country life, rather than discussions
by those brought from other states. II
is believed that many Of the problems
in rural life are being solved by the ex-
listing Wisconsin institutions and that a
conference in which these experiences
may be exchanged will result in much
good.
The conference is held during the
period Of the ten days Farmers Course
at the college Of Agriculture, and those
in attendance will have an opportunity
to get in close touch with the economic
phases of agriculture as presented in
this course The detailed program,
which will shortly be announced, will
include the names of several Wisconsin
farmers, teachers, ministers, business
men, editors and librarians, who have
been particularly identified with the
best in country life.
