The Crouch digs back two centuries into his

his day, then declares The Star Circulation $1,000

Humphrey voted against the Alaska railroad BILL
Going backward two or three centuries is
common habit with the decrepit old Crouch But
it's away off when il gets down TO the 10th century
and tries to square Humphreys vote on the Alaska
bill.
The Star DID say Humphrey opposed this bill,
AND HUMPHREY DID He fought II in COM
mittee. And then, when 1t came up in open session.
the cowardly and hypocritical Humphrey realizing
then that the bill would pass and pass big voted
for it, in the way that the hypocrtical
Humphrey the protege of the breweries and
whiskey ring in this state, voted FOR the pro-
hbition measure in congress AFTER this state
went dry; in the same way that the hypocritical
Humphrey voted for woman suffrage, AFT the
state voted for it, tho he previously had sneered
1t il.
1t pleases Humphrey now to appear terribly
shocked when his splotchy legislative past is re-
vealed. However, there need not DE any question
of relative veracity The record shows how he
stood when the railroad bill was up in committee
and it is in committee where the fate of such bills
is decided.

barely escaped being put to death.

clipper, and hasn't the least intention of either

GOVERNMENT LAND
PURCHASES BARGAIN
American Forestry Association Urges
S10,000,00O Appropriation by
Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dee. Elm a
statement urging an appropriation BY
Congress of $10,000000 to complete the
national forest system in the east, the
American Forestry association directs
attention to the fact that in much of
the land already bought the Govern
ment has obtained a bargain. 1t IS
pointed out that 372, 900 acres, or
about 28 per cent of the 1,317 200 acres
which have been approved for purchase
so far, are virgin timberlands, con
sisting in the White Mountains o.
spruce and hardwoods and in the
Southern Appalachians of broad leafed
species mixed with pine and hemlock,
all valuable species. Much of this
stumpage is now salable at prices con
siderably above those paid by the gov
eminent.
About one half of the area thus far
approved for purchase consists OF
| culled or cutover lands, on which,
however, only the more valuable kinds
of trees have been cut, leaving much
valuable materials which is now mar
ketable Considering the price paid for
these lands. an average of about $5.22
per acre. saws the statement, and the
fact that besides being valuable fol

lection they contain large bodies OF
merchantable timber which can be solo

price. a better business transaction ha'

ST. JOHNSBURY, Dee. 81. - The

for the accident in which William
Dow was killed near East Ryegate on
Nov. 6, 1915, when the automobile in
which he was riding with Howard A.

course of surveys, appraisals and title
searches to continue its work under the
Weeks law until there is an adequate
system of national forests in the East
Unless congress makes a new appro-
priation at the present session, says the
statement, the work will have to stop.
The statement concludes by referring
to the urgent necessity of forest re-
serves in the East and the fact that it
would be more economical to finish
purchasing it now than to, defer the
work for some time.

Mrs John Sergeant Cram, society
woman of New York city. has Joined II
union She has taken out her card in
the Musicians local No. 210, has paid
her dues for the year, and now the
cause of labor is her cause in reality.
1T is my affair and your affair If
a woman drags out her life in a sweat

ed about her reasons for having Joined
a union. "All Of us are in measure
responsible for the bad conditions I'm.
der which she works.
IL don't like this talk about imprOv
ing the working people" she explained
THE only way we can help them is by
helping them change their own condi-
lions. The Improvement must come
from them up and not from some one
else down. And If they are paid just
wage in return for their labor they can
improve themselves"
Mrs. Cram attends the meetings of
the Woman's Trades Union league in
New York city and is deeply interested.
"Why. these women workers are the
most altruistic human beings in the
world" she said. You have no idea
how generous and self sacrificing they
are. Men have said that women do
not stand by each other and have no
loyalty to other women. 1t may have
been true before women went into the
world to earn their living. but 1t isn't
now. These organized women are Just
as faithful to each other and the prin.
ciples for which they stand rs men,"

Exercises For the Lips.

An exercise for identifying the lips

Is the pronunciation Of the vowel
sOunds-"ah-oh. 'ah- oh ee." "ah- oh-ee-

each at ten different times day. A
sentence which Is approved by many

the lips Is. Most men want poise and

Actresses and actors are given many
