NEED CEDAR FOR PENCILS.
Barns and Fences Being Torn Down
to Obtain H.

10 Optdin ".
The bureau of forest service has dis
covered from recent reports that there
Is a dearth of cedar for pencils for
which there is no prospect Of relief.
There is in the ordinary lead pencil
three-fourths of a cents worth of oe-
dar, and there are made in the United
States annually 320,OO0,OOO pencils.
This demands 10000 tons of cedar,
which costs about $50 ton.
The supply is gradually disappearing,
and 1t is necessary every year to go
farther and farther back into the vir-
gin forests. Cedar cruisers know ev.
cry region of the country where they
can get any stock. Old cuttings have
all been gone over repeatedly. Old
stumps have been dug out. Even old
log houses have been taken down
Large quantities of old cedar planks
from barns are being bought, and fence
rails are being picked over The COM
mon practice is for the pencil manu-
facturers to put up a fine new woven
wire fence for the farmer who has
fence with enough cedar rails in 1t to
make It worth while, and the farmer
who has a picket fence of cedar can
get the best wire fence money can
buy.
Queer as 1t may seem, although hun
1reds Of experiments have been made,
no other wood has been found as good
as cedar for the pencil.

III YEARS OLD.
Thomas Morris Has Been a CobbIer
For More Than a Century.


Newspaper investigation has disclos-
ed the fact that Nebraska's oldest liv-
ing inhabitant is Thomas Morris, III
years old. of Westerville, Custer
county.
There are several other remarkable
things about Morris. He never attend
ed school a day in his life. He never
married. He has always smoked to-
bacco and used liquor in moderate
degree. He drinks coffee, two or three
cups of it, at each one of his three
meals. He never used glasses until
few years ago, and now only for close
work.
Morris was born in Wales Jan. 15,
1904. He came to America at the age
of seventy-eight, and for four years
lived at New Hampton, Harrison coun-
ty, Mo. In 1886 he removed to Ne
braska. For more than a century he
has been a cobbler. He worked steadily
on the bench up until few years ago.
For two years he has done no work,
but spends his time fishing. He has
refused to sit for photographs be-
cause of fear that it was a ruse to
get him to the poorhouse, but had his
first picture taken a few days ago.
