ECZEMA ITcHED AND BURNED

R. F. D. No. 4. Box IS, Holland,

getting red and sore around her neck,

her arms, and different parts Of her
body were affected. The eczema ap-
peared in a rash first. 1t was wet
and looked as If it was sweaty. It
seemed to itch and burn SO that she
could not sleep or rest. It got so bad
at last that behind her ears was one
crust or sore so that I had to cut her
hair. There was a hard crust cover

Tho INDEPENDENT Newspaner.

When Colonel Roosevelt resigned as

wrote him a letter which sets forth clear
ly and convincingly the position of the
independent newspaper. DR.. Abbott be-
gins:
With undiminished affection for YOU.
with undiminished loyalty to the princi-
pies for which you stand, / recognize with
you the necessity for your action
He then goes on to emphasize his agree
ment in the principles for which the pro-
gressive party stands, and points out
that Colonel Roosevelt, independent of his
personal wishes in the matter, Is the in
eyitable leader Of hat party. He adds:
But history has abundantly demonstrate
ed the truth that no man can be both the
leader of a great political party and an
editor of an Independent journal. The
demands of the political campaign and Of
the editorial office are Inconsistent"
This principle governs independent news
papers as we'll as magazines. No news
paper can be Of the greatest service to it's
readers If its editor seeks office, No news
paper can be of the greatest service to it's
readers IL 1t Is committed in advance to
support one of the political parties.
A newspaper ought to be devoted to
great principles. 1t ought to have Its
platform. But 1t ought to be free to sup
port the men whose success would con-
tribute most efficiently to carrying out the
principles for which 1t stands.

Control of Timber.
From the Duluth Herald.

Timber is a public necessity like water
n coal and food. 1t is an essential to
| shelter.
All timber at one time belonged to the
public domain. Very little belongs to the
| public domain now.
A report just made by commissione
gives some startling revelations about the
situation Of the remaining timber supply.
Two men hold 40 per cent of the tim
Der in southwestern Washington. Five
Oregon. Six men have 10 per cent Of the
timber in northwestern California. Ten
men have more than half the redwood
area. -Four holders have half the timber
in north central Idaho.
A small handful-comparatively-of tim
Der owners, 1884. hold in fee more Than
tire United States; and as these men own
! no land at all in a great many states, the
bulk OF their holdings in the timber coun;
enth Of the total area. Their holdings
amount to 105, Co., 900 acres-an area four
ffths the size Of France, more than the
entire state of California, twice the area
Of Minnesota. Sixteen holders own near
ly $4,000, COO acres, or almost as great a
territory as the state Of Minnesota.
Getting nearer home, As per cent of the
land in the Upper Peninsula Of Michigan
is held by 80 timber owners.
1.-THE control of our standing timber in
a comparatively few enormous holdings"
says Commissioner Davies. speculative
ly held far in advance of any use there
Of, and the great increase in the value
of timber resulting in part from such
speculative holdings. are underlying facts
that will become more and more important
elements in determining the price Of lum-
Der as the supply of timber diminishes."
This was all ours: now 1t is theirs; and
they and their heirs will use to exploit
US what once was ours. =
It was foolish to let 1t go. An element
OF loss not figured in this report, IL it
could possibly be figured at all. is the
waste through private ownership. Al
most any once timbered section Of north
ern Minnesota will illustrate it. The
Of the rest wasted in cutting or burned.
Forests ave been leveled, and forest
places laid waste.
When 1t is remembered that European
governments nave forests from which
they have been cutting all they needed for
centuries, and have remaining forests
greater than they started with, it will be
realized what a tremendous and meal
oulable loss has been entailed by letting
our heritage of timber go into private
hands.
But it has gone, and the milk is split.
We can keep the rest from going If we
Will. We can preserve our remaining
forests, and we can grow more.
We must do this. If we are to have any
means of defense against the peril of the
present close ownership Of the timber
supply outside of the government domain.
BY conserving what is left, the govern
ment can keep timber prices down to a
level of decency, and prevent the ex-
pfoitation of the public by a timber mon
opoly.

And shall. dream that I am riding down

Eastern water gate,
Where the hero and the martyr laid the
corner stone of state,
The habitant, cureur-des-bois-and hardy
voyageur,
Where lives a breed more strong at need
to venture or endure?
l have seen the gorge of Erie, where the
roaring waters run,
I have crossed the Inland Ocean. living
golden in the sun,
But the last and best and sweetest is the
the ride by hill and dale,
With the packer and the packhorse on the
Trail.
I'll dream again Of fields Of grain that
stretch from sky to sky,
And the little prairie hamlets, where the
cars go roaring by;
WOODEN hanlets, as / saw them-NOble
cities still to be.
To girdle stately anada with gems from
sea to sea.

q note for $1,0o0 payable to himself in Ave
years. h note drew 8 per cent inter-
est. The young man put $2O in the bank
each month and at the end OF the year
drew out $50 to pay the interest. He then
invested the $50 in interest bearing paper.
He remained firm in his determination to
pay off the note at maturity and did SO
with his so a month, and had quite a
neat sum left, the interest having aided.
This CAV him quite a start. He then
signed q note for 5000 payable in Ave
years and Is now working to pay that Oft.
