The Closing of the
Orpet Case
BY SOPHIE IRENE LOEB.

SrHE case of VIII Orpet. who is on
trial for his life, will iikely close
= this week Every phase OF II has
been analysed pro and con by hundreds
OF people.
Conclusions have been reached and
many morals have been drawn. but
there Is one good old-fashioned truth
that stands out-that has stood the test
Of this twentieth century period.
II Is a truth that should come home TO
every hoy and girl. very early. and
never leave there.
It il a truth that has appeared in
every grille girl novel that the average
schoolgirl devours.
1t is a truth that grandmother used
tell every school girl graduate.
II Is n truth that, II followed today,
would save endless secret misery and
heartbreak and would avoid early
graves.
This truth in plain words Is. beware
OF the man who whispers love In your
ear, who tells you that he wants you
and you alone for his very own and
word. the man who would like to take a
girl except by way OF the altar.
Every man who truly loves n woman
will find that way. will sacrifice his
all may be well with her.
There are those who will pirate about
the freedom" and fearless expression
OF love. There are those who scoff at
marriage as a happy medium for two
people.

In some cases and many respects
these theories have been proved true.
there is only one way for those who
would have loved in it's highest sense
in the limitless love that seeks to be-
get the race.
II Is marriage.
For, even II later on the marriage

FOREST BUST-
NESS IS EXPANDING

Ogden, Dec. 11.-NationaI forest
administration last year was char
acterized. according to Henry s.
Graves, chief of the forest service,
in his annual report which has just
been published, by an increase of
more than $4,000 in receipts which
totaled over $2.SOO,OOO, by rapid
progress in land classification, by a
material advance in development
work, in which road building is one
of the largest factors. and relatively
small losses from forest fires.
The receipts from timber were
over s1.4O0,O0O. a 20 per cent in
crease. while grazing receipts were
$1,000 900, and water power rentals
brought in $780, geo. AT present, :"
says Mr.. Graves" the Receipts from
the national forests are approximate
ly three-fourths of what il costs to
protect them and carry on the cur
rent business. In addition to this
cost, however, there are expenses
which are primarily in the nature
of investments" Roads and other
improvements, reforestation of de-
nuded lands, and classification work
are examples. "All expenses con-
nected with the national forests, in
Guiding these investment expenses as
VIGIL DIS lnS CO5L Oh operation, AD-
proximate $5.275, 600"
The business of the national for
ests, Mr.. Graves states, is on a thor
oughly sound basis. AN efficient
organization has been built up to
handle the work OF protection of the
forests and of developing the re-
sources. The rapidly increasing use
of the forests points not only to con-
stantly greater service to the pub
lie, but also to increased financial
returns"
A steady increase in the returns
from the national forests is expected
by the chief forester. In spite of the
unstable and unhealthy condition of
the lumber market steady and i'm
creasing local demand for national
forest timber is created by the up
building of the country. This de-
mand will be constantly growing
even though sales for the general
market will fluctuate with the pre-
vailing business conditions. The re-
turns from grazing will increase
as more stock uses the forests, in
consequence of range improvements
and the development of new range.
IL is stated.
A moderate annual increase for
three years in the grazing fee is con-
templated. which. IL put into opera
ton. will eventually bring the graz
ing receipts to more than $4,000
600 a year, as compared with an
proximately $1,200.o0o in the fis-
cal year 1916. 1t is pointed out that
when regulation of grazing on the
forests began a low scale OF charges
was adopted. During the last ten
