Wonder what Senator Baldridge
who owns an implement house In
Parma, would think of a legislator
who would vote for and champion a
bill to regulate the price of the mer-
chandise he handles? There is just
as much competition in the news
paper business as is in his and II
1t is good law and just and equitable
to legislate regarding the prices that
shall be charged IN one line of bu-
siness why not just as fair to do so
in all lines. We have never been
of the opinion that the legislature
should seek to regulate business
where there is honest competition,
yet Senator Baldridge believes there
is a printing trust and has sought
In this session to regulate the price
of advertising.

SMALL Pox TWILIGHT

The prevalence of small pox IL
the community is creating no little
stir among those who value their con
plexions and their liberty, and the
health officer is besieged with al
manner of inquiries. The cases in
quarantine rrmber about three doz
on confined To no particular section
of Tie city and the surrounding
towns are having their share of trou-
BILE along that line.
1t has been rumored that the city
schools would be closed and cam
paign of compulsory vaccination
would be waged, but both reports are
without foundation. The County
Board of Health hold that vaccina-
ton is a certain safeguard against
small pox and this means of immuni-
| ty is open to all. If people choose
to neglect or avoid this precaution,
the inference is they prefer small
pox and the health board argues
that people should be allowed to have
what they want.
With the optional protective mea-
sure at hand the school board at
its meeting Monday evening, decided
not to consider closing the schools
at all. AS fast as cases appear they
will be isolated. Vaccination of pu-
pills and teachers is urged but will
not be made compulsory.
The health officers have hung out
the danger signal and refuse to stand
damages if anyone is run over. 1t
might be a good thing to keep off
the track.
In some cases the disease is so
light as to almost escape detection
while others are more serious. But
only one death has resulted in this
vicinity Though not violent in form.
no one seems anxious to contract the
disease, though some are flirting
with it by deferring precautionary
The public is face to face with

Vaccination or small pox-which?
The above item we take from the
5aldwell News and shows condi-
ion that exists in several towns in

word of warning to all who have not
suffered this lothsome disease. While
n general all over the county the
disease is light yet few serious cas-

CiRcASSiAN WALNUT

The United States. says the De
yartment of Agriculture, is probably
the largest consumer of Circassiar
walnut, one of the worlds best know
and most expensive cabinet woods.
The high cost of Circassian wal.
nut is due to the scarcity of the
beautifully figured variety demanded
for furniture and interior finish,
Tor the tree itself is more widely
distributed than almost any other of
commercial importance. The de-
mand for the best wood, however,
has always out run the supply. Ey-
en- in the eighteenth century, when
wars in Europe were frequent, so
much Circassian walnut was used for
gunstocks that the supply was seri-
ously depleted. Early in the nine
seenth century the wood of $4,000
trees was used for this purpose only.
Single trees, containing choice
burls or fine bird 's-eye figures have
sold for more than $4,000.
The tree is native to the eastern
slopes Of the Caucasus and ranges
eastward to the foothills of the Hi
malaga Mountains, from which it
extends southwark to northern India
and the mountains of upper Burma.
1t has been widely planted in Eu-
rope and the United States, in this
country under the name of English
walnut. The wood grown here, how
ever, has not the qualities demanded
by the cabinet and furniture maker.
Much of the Circassian walnut now
used comes from the Black Sea
and from other parts of Asia.
According to circular just issued
by the Forest Service the demand
for Circassian walnut has resulted in
the substitution of other woods. Our
own red gum is often sold as Cir
cassian walnut, and butternut is al
so similar in general appearance to !
The less highly figured grades. Many
good African, Asian, and South Amer
lean woods resemble Circassian wal
lut, though none possesses the mag
1ificent figure, delicate tones, and
7elvety texture of the latter. The
circular discusses the supply and
Ises of Circassian walnut, and those
Who wish to know how possible sub
titutes may be distinguished can
earn from this circular the distinc-
i've marks which the Governments
xperts have discovered.
