HARDWOOD LUMBER
IS DUE FOR BOOST
Excess of Consumption Over
Production Is Given as
Chief Cause

That hardwood lumber is to be
dearer during the coming year. was
the general opinion among the Ium-
bermen who attended the mid-winter
meeting OF the Michigan Hardwood
Manufacturers association. In the
Hotel Pontcha>Srain, Friday. Excess
OF consumption over production; the
light snowfall of the winter. and the
fact that over 40.000,00 feet have
been flooded i'm the Mississippi val
ley, are the reasons given for the
prophetic boost in prices
Reports showed that 100000, 900
feet OF lumber was cut in the state
during the past year. OF the supply,
maple was said 10 be the most abun.
dant. II was said that the supply In
the mills at the present time was
only about 90 per cent OF what IL was
a year ago, and that most OF IL was
now sold, indicating busy year for
the sawmills OF the state.
The plan OF having its own forest
ranger was shown TO be beneficial TO
the association. Although there were
227 forest fires during the year, prac-
tically no loss was sustained. The
ranger has a competent corps OF as
sistants. The expense of keeping up
the system Is met by an acreage as
sessment on the membcfs OF the asso-

For long time it has been thought that breathing in coal dust caused lung dis. eases fin miners.

PECULIAR PRAYER TO COURT Error Q, stenosrapher Responsible for . Few Moro Gray Hairs In
 Head of Lawyer.

"They say that a lawyer has been saved by his stenographer," said an attorney, at a recent lecture. That Is true, undoubtedly, because law yer's stenographer, who is observing gets many points of law out of her work.
 But there is another side to 1t that must not be overlooked, and that ia the mistakes that lawyers stenog rapher makes. The law terms are so techn,cal that 1t IS not within reason to expect the stenographer to get ev. erything exactly right.
 "Ons Of the most amusing errors that have ever heard of in connec- ton with stenographic errors, if may call 1t that, occurred in certain law office the other day. The case was a divorce action, in which the plaintiff alleged cruel and tnhumap treatment.
 Plaintiff, being woman with all the common law disabilities. prayed the court for temporary alimony and suit money The prayer was dictated 70 the stenographer and she wrote 1t put and mailed 1t to the court. Shortly afrerward. the lawyer ,hanced to read copy and found tc lis horror that the stenographer had made the prayer one for aiimony and 'oup money"
