u. S. TIMBER IN EAST
is WORTH MILLIONS
More Thar Billion Board Feet OF
Stumpagc on Lam Purchased For
National Forests.

Washington. April 3.-The mer-
charitable timber acquired by the Fed
eral government in the purchase Of
land for National Forests in the White
Mountains Of New Hampshire and
the Southern Appala cflians amounts
to more than a billion board feet,
worth upward of 100000 on the
stump. according to an appraiSement
by the Forest Service. In addition,
there is an enormous quantity Of in
accessible and widely scattered tim
Der which cannot be considered mar
ketabie until regional developments
and i improvements place it within
reach.
Plans for cutting some OF this tim
Der in accordance with scientific for
eStry methods already have been pre-
| pared and in a few localities opera
tionS have been started. In some
| places it has been found necessary to
remove mature trees in order to give
the young growth a chance. This
work is being done largely by local
residents, who have bought the lump
age n are converting it into lum-
Der. The construction Of roads and
trails is making more and more tim
Der accessible to lumber operators,
but the principal use of these i'm
provements at present is for local
communication, fire protection, and
TO open up the WIG ana IOr reCred-
ton use. A secondhand influence of
the improvements is to increase the
value Of the land and to make the
timer on it more accessible and val
liable to operators.
A great deal Of the forest land With
in the purchase areas was cut over
or culled before the government &C
quired it. Nearly all OF this class OF
land, however, is covered now with
young growth and ever the aban-
doned farm acreage, which forms
about two per cent Of the whole, is
slowly reverting to forest.
OF mature timber which could be
placed on the market at once, the
eastern national forests contain a to.
tai Of about LOO, 600, 900 board feet
which includes all the common east

 The peace and serene happiness of the white walled convent, the beauti- full gardens, such as only Europe has had time to prepare and fulfill, and in her innocence she had dreamed that the world outside the huge iron gates was a grand fairy story waiting to be read.
 Then into the world, the great house with it's paintings and rugs and tapes tries and marbles; the coming of the young men, of middle aged men, of old men, and the fever of card playing; her beautiful gowns and gems, and the vaguely growing wonder why the men never brought their wives with them,> and then came the thunderbolt.

 In a house in the great city a clock in a hallway struck the quarter hour.
 The soft boom of it penetrated all the lower rooms Of the big house. By the library reading table the gray hair ed man laid down his newspaper and looked at his watch.
 "WonderfuI how that old clock keeps time,'' he said to the white haired wo- man opposite. Hundred and fifty years old, and yet it is still as accurate as this Swiss piece

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-SOme idea
of the volume of food purchases and
shipments made by the commission
for Relief in Belgium during the sum-
mer months may be gained from fig
ureS presented by the current report
of the commission. Including the
grain and foOdstuffS sent from United
States ports alone, the shipments have
reached a total of 445S,216 tons, or
1,O26. 4O3,S4O pounds. These figures,
it should be remembered. do not in
clude the cargOes sent from Canadian
and other foreign ports, which would
bring the aggregate up to, if it does
not exceed, 1000, 100000 pounds, and
the approximate total cost is nearly
$4,000. 900.
From the United States ports thus
