"BUNTY PULLS THE STRINGS"

The theatrical rage of two conti-
nents, "Bunty Pulls the Strings"
will be the attraction at the Lyric
soon. Through the aid of the great
newspaper system of America, the
real successes, be it of the stage,
books, or in fact any product of
merit, soon becomes known for their
real worth, and that was the case of
"Bunty Pulls the Strings" 1t en-
tered New York practically unher-
aided and entirely unknown, was
given a hearing, and the following
day, through the aid of the New
York dailies, "Bunty" was stamped
the greatest success of the season.
Before the end of a month theatre
goers through the country, even as
far as the Pacific Coast, were alive
to the fact that a new success had
been born.
"Bunty" is different from all
other plays, and so are the players,
inasmuch as the story is laid in the
Highlands of Scotland, and the play
ers are all natives and to the man
ner born. The play itself is simple
and direct, and in its simplicity lies
it's greatest charm.

fix prices for maximum appraise-

allowed, but in it's bill it fixes the
following scale of prices; Horse,

sheep, $40; pig, $40. The appraise-

the actual value of the animal. Car

John B. Gourmond, of this city,
says the parcel post is alright, and
he belives he Ought to know"
John told how the parcel post had
saved him from the pangs of hun
ger and his devoted wife from
worry.
According to Gourmond, his wife
packed "big mans lunch for him.
When he left his home for his place
of labor in a steel mill in a nearby
suburb, John carried with him what
he believed was his ''full dinner
pail"
On reaching the mill he was about
to place the package containing his
lunch on the steam pipes to keep it
warm until the noon hour, when the
wrapper attracted his attention.
Looking closer he saw that it bore
pictures of holly leaves and berries.
Opening the "lunch," John found
that he carried two pairs of socks
and a pair of suspenders to work
with him.
A short time later he was called
to the telephone by his wife, who
said John, have heard of people
liking presents so well that they
took them to bed, but you did
better; you took your socks and
suspenders for lunch"
Gourmond did not appreciate the
joke, and replied, Il must plug away
without a bite all day.
No, you won't" said the wife,
Ego to the postoffice at noon and you
will get your lunch by parcel post"
Gourmond got his lunch. Not
even piece of pie in it was crushed.

BRUSH,

A certain writer has said that no
newspaper which took truth for it's
standard would make a pecuniary
success. The press might return the
compliment by remarking that no
minister who told the truth about
his congregation, alive or dead,
would occupy his pulpit much longer
than Sunday afterward. The press

says that this year the revenue will
| come within $1,000 Of paying expenses.
This Is a good showing, but a private
owner would never be satisfied with
1t, as he would have to have, besides
expenses, interest on the investment,
of a value Of 100000 or more, and
would have to provide several thou
sand dollars each year for state and
county taxes.
Considerable work is being done in
tree planting, about twelve hundred
pounds of Maritime pine seed having

Maratine pine Will mature a great deal
quicker and yield a higher grade of

Headquarters, Carriers Bayou,
Wednesday, Julyl IT. 1912.
While cooking dinner yesterday I
filed the icy-hot bottle with coffee Gas
have done a good many times on
this trip, finding the coffee as hot as
we could drink it at supper time) so
we had early supper, went to the
head OF Carriers Bayou to 1Il-in our
supplies at the store there, then went
to the Foresters for the evening.
Several years ago when forest con-
servation was much OF a fad of a lot
of theorists looking for a great uplift-
ing purpose, 1 got rather disguised
with the whole conservation idea. From
'Woodman, spare that tree" they
jumped into brilliantly worded maya
zine articles, filed with ringing
phrases on the ruthless, nay Grim
tnal destruction Of our forests" illus
trated with photographs showing the
burning OF roill waste, tree-tops left
in the woods and burned tracts of cut
over land. All the time I was in this
very business, and knew that we, and
all other saw mill people (cutting our
own ttrnber), were marketing all of
the tree that was marketable, and
knew that the margin between the cost
of manufacture and the value of the
finished product was insufficient when
there was any, to permit Of the en-
ployment OF gardeners and landscape
artists to follow the loggers and make
the woods look like the photographs,
that the forestry-cranks reproduced.
Of cultivated forests of Germany and
France. The meat packer is abe to
market everything except the squeal"
but not so with the saw mill man and
his pine tree. You can sometimes get
an inferior crosstie or two out OF a
treetop, but you can hardly get the labor
cost out of 1t when you try to sell
that class of ties to a railroad. There
is no ma<et for slabs unless you are
near some town where they can be
utilized for firewood. and then, in com
petition with our other cheap fuels you
can hardly get your extra labor cost
your edgings. defective ends and short
ends cut off in getting out special
length railroad or building orders. AL
together from a third to a half OF the
bulk of the tree is waste and It must
be burned at once or the whole plant
to plant greatly increased.
The conservationist' answer to such
q statement would be to "creosote those
ties cut from treetops and they Will
be better than good heart ties" True,
but creosoting plant is more expen-
sive than a saw and planning mill plant
combined From your stumps, limbs,
edgings and saw dust" the conserva-
ZIONIST tell the saw mill man to ex-
tract the rosin, turnentine. wood alco-
hol and a hundred valuable oils and
products and make paper pulp from
the residue. This doubtless can De
done, but a plant to do all these things,
profitably, would be an immense COST
" and, at present, a largely expert
mental affair.
In my simple way I figured that a
cotton crop, grown in one year, was
worth more than a timber crop that
had required two hundred years 20
