until the men came down out of the North
did the people of this country begin to au-
preciate the wealth that stood about them
in the shape of pine, cypress, hardwood,
gum, hickory, ash and other species OF
trees. And this was Of comparatively re-
cent date. The ante belum planter was
too busy growing cotton to bother with
thoughts about manufacturing lumber, and
about the only time he thought of fell
ing tree was when the big fireplace
needed fuel, OF when he desired to ey-
tend his cutivabe area. And even those
who came after thought little of the trees
except as something to be cleared away
that the rich soil might be utilized to grow
great fields of yellow corn and snowy cot
ton.
Of course, a few there were who chop
ped and hewed great timbers-some for
houses, others for boats, and still others for
bridges and varied humble uses. For even
in those days the people appreciated the
superiority of the timber wrought from
trees that grew in this section OF Ark
ansas. But, as a general thing, the value
Of the great forests was not realized, and
millions and millions of feet of valuable
hickory, oak, cypress, pine and other trees
were ruthlessly wasted.
Venturesomc Few Embark in Lumber
Making.
Finally, few entered into the lumber
manufacturing business, and, as the quality
became known the demand grew. The at
tenton of the big lumber men of the North
was attracted and timber cruisers were
sent to prowl thru the great stretches of
forest traversed by the daring DeSoto
centuries before. The nature of the re-
ports of these experienced men of the
woods may be imagined from the fact that
today there are more than 1000 mills sew
ing away in Arkansas, producing more than
two billion feet of lumber annually.
There is a certain manufacturer who
boasts a whole lot about his fifty-seven
varieties, but he isn't in the class of the
Arkansas lumberman who produces hun
dreds of different products, and can, if he

F FERNANDO DE SOTO, who gave

400 years ago, had been good timber
cruiser, he would have halted his caravan
somewhere in this neighborhood and sent
word back to his Spanish boss that he'd
found something Of far more value than
gold; something that the world would re-
quire always, and something that would
bring gold flowing into the kingly Golfers
in a steady stream--the finest body of tim
Der in the world. Instead, Senior DeSoto
continued his quest for the yellow metal,
and made a failure of the mission.
But we must not judge harshly the great
Spanard. He was a brave and daring, as
well as patriotic, man. For only great
daring and fine love of country could
have prompted a man like DeSoto to leave
the old civilization for q new and unex-
plored country. Like many another great
man, DeSoto was ahead of his time. Had
he been born three or four centuries later,
there is little doubt he would have become
a great commercial baron. Because Senior
DeSoto appears to have had the "push'
and persstency so necessary to success
in the commercial world.

excited Friday forenoon when Officer

youngster Of tender years, say two or
three but not more, hut who was ap

ground for one of his years, picked him

to ascertain who he was and where he

task as the boy was very uncommuni-

but after persistent inquiry the off
Ger ascertained that the father of the

DIR. RAYMOND PEARL
U. Of M. Biologist, Elected Member
American Academy of Science

Orono, Me, May 12.-Raymond Pearl,
PHI. D.. biologist at the University of
Maine Experiment station, has been
elected a member Of the American
great honor to DR.. Pearl, but to the
university. This society has a very
limited membership and the scientific
men elected TO it have usually been very
old men, men who have devoted their
life time to scientific research. DR..
Pearl is a young man to be awarded
such an honor. The University of
Maine has never had a graduate, or a
member of it's faculty, a member of
this organization.
AS an appreciation of what this
means to the university the professors
and associate professors Of the facul-
ty gave banquet in the gymnasium
Thursday evening in honor Of DR.. Pearl
The event was a memorable one and
one that will remain a long time with
DR.. Pearl. President Robert j. Alley
presided, and the speaker Of the even
ing was Prof. James E. Stevens, dean
of the College Of Arts and Sciences. Re-
marks were also made by DR.. Charles
D. Woods Of the Experiment Station,
and Prof. Webster Chester Of the biol
ogy department of Colby college
Prof. Chester paid a very appropr:-
ate tribute to the honor that had been
conferred upon DIR. Pearl. Dr. Woods
told Of his first meeting with Dr. Pearl.
and how since that time his whole am
bition has been to find new truths con-
corning the relation Of biology to ami
NAL husbandry and plant reading. DR..
Woods explained to the faculty that
Maine had been able to retain DR.. Pearl
only because of the opportunities that
were given him for research work and
study. He has refused offers to ac-
cept the position of head Of the biology
departments of John Hopkins univer-
sity. University of California, Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin and the University Of
Illinois. at salary much in advance
Of what he IL getting at Maine.
These positions would have required
some teaching and executive work
and would thus have taken much time
from his research work He preferred
to remain at Maine at a lower salary
and continue his favorite line of work.

Israel Zangwilrs play, Merely

Martin shows unusual animation, nat
uralness and a sort of pathetic charm
in the role Of little girl who goes
from the humble position of maid-of-
allwork in a cheap boarding house to
that of society debutante. The char
acterization is the best Miss Martin
has ever done. Director John Adolf
