LUMBER JACKS FELL
ENGLISH FORESTS

England's ancestral forests, jealous
ly guarded by many generations of
Englishmen, are rapidly being cut
down by American Drawn.
Word of this latest sacrifice of senti-
ment to necessity, came to this country
recently in reports of the progress of
the ten saw mill units which New
England contributed to the common
warfare against autocracy.
These units, numbering over 300
sturdy lumber jacks, recruited by the
Boston committee on public saftey
from the backwoods of Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont, have been
husily engaged for some time in the
forests around which much of the best
of English literature has been written.
History in the making rather than
that Of centuries past, however, leaves
its impression upon the northwoods
representatives of America as they
turn out in hundreds of thousands of
feet the lumber so necessary to army
progress in constructing billets,
bridges, trenches, dugouts and the
other requirements of Mars.
As they level the forests which are
the last strongholds of the Old England
many of their forefathers knew, the
men are unmoved by imagination, ex-
cept when some lumberjack conjures
up a mental picture of the forces re-
sponsible for Belgium and the Lusi-
tania, and swings an extra vigorous
and vicious stroke in consequence. !.
The units are scattered along the
banks of river for 10 miles and each
is small community in itself. gath
cred around central hut presided
over by Y. NJ. c. A. secretary, where
the men assemble for amusement in
their leisure hours.
To illustrate the inexhaustible en-
ergy of the men the statement that
basket ball is the most popular amuse-
ment after hours of vigorous work
means much to those who know the
strenuous possibilities of the game.
During their Christmas holidays
over half the men paid a visit to Lon
don, where they were accommodated
at the Eagle Hut of the American Y.
NJ. c. A. Several days were spent
acquiring experiences which will be
retold in American numbering camps
for many years to come.

PHEASANTS DO NOT
LIKE TARRED CORN

Editor Glacier: One way to do 'our
bit" is to tell Of anything that will
benefit others, and in these war times
to save food material. If we don t
know much, we are excusable if we
don't tell much. The first year |
planted corn in Hood River the pleas
ants took it as personal favor to
them, and pulled up about half of the
piece to see how the corn was grow
ing. When | replanted it and every
time since. have used the remedy we
employ in New England as protection
against the crows, and have had no
more trouble in that respect.
The remedy is: 10 pail of water
add teaspoonful of coal tar. Stir it
thoroughly, put the corn in and mix
well, so there will be very thin coat
ing of the coal tar on each kernel, and
then it may be dried and planted with
a planter, as if it had not been treated.
If the coal tar is very thin it may
require bit more, but if you can see
any film Of tar, it is plenty.
Perhaps some of the farmers will
appreciate this more than they do rails
ing pheasants for city people to shoot.
This remedy seems to be effective
against diggers and gophers also.

MORE CARS, But
NOT ENOUGH YET

The Apple Growers Association, with
an approximate 200 ears of apples un-
shipped, was allotted three cars last
Thursday, the first for the month of
March. Friday six cars were loaded
by the sales agency.
Unless more cars are received here,
it is stated by officials of the Associa-
tion, loss may be experienced by
growers or purchasers for won fruit
is held in storage. The total of stocks
held by the Association are valued at
approximately 5000, 600.
"If the apples are not moved until
other fresh fruits begin to arrive on
the market, says Sales Manager Nc
Cullagh, 1--WE will be unable to secure
consumption of them. People will not
buy apples when the season of straw
berries and other small! fruits arrive.
Furthermore, every day adds to the
deterioration Of fruit held in storage" "

R. N. STANFlELD is
HELD COMPETENT

That the livestock interests of the
United States are without competent
representation at Washington was the
statement made last week by James E
Poole, of Chicago. one of the highest
authorities on livestock in this cOun-
try. In support of this assertion Mr..
Poole gave some interesting facts con-
cerning present conditions.
Those are the very words used in
an address before the National Live
stock convention at Spokane few
days ago, and moreover, | told the
prominent men gathered there that it
would be particularly fortunate for the
livestock interests of the entire Pacific
Northwest if K. ~ Stanfield. of Ore
gon, was nominated and elected United
States senator" said Mr.. Poole while
in Portland. ''He is a practical live
stock man who knows all ends of the
business, and in addition is business
man of good judgment. Such a man is
badly needed in Washington right
now"

of the entire country. AS a senator
he would be in position to give exec

he been given the advice of senator
who thoroughly understood the live

FAMINE DEPOPULATES
PETROGRAD; CONDITIONS
RELY THE IMAGINATION

STOCKHOLM. - Fugitives from
Russia who have reached here say
that living conditions in Petrograd
are terrible. The famine there, they
say, defies the imagination. Flour
is selling for so rubles, and butter
and sugar for $50 rubles per kilo-
gram (2.2 pounds.) Herrings are
the only food obtainable, and sell
for rubles each.
All middle class elements are ex-
cluded from public eating houses,
and are dying Of starvation by thou
sands. Hundreds are buried each
day between and o'clock in the
morning, no funerals being permit
ted later during the day.
OF a normal population Of 2,00O,-
900 only 100000 persons are left
in Petrograd. The city looks de-
serted. s
There is great nervousness in the
neutral legations. The Polish lega-
ton has been looted, while the Swiss
legation has been entered forcibly.
The personnel Of this legation has
left Petrograd.

NO SEALS SOLD THIS YEAR.

The customary sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals will not be held this
year. 1t seemed best to both the
American Red Cross and the National
tuberculosis Association to unite in
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call to
reduce the number Of appeals to the
public for contributions. There will
be no lessening Of activities by the
National Tuberculosis Association
through this arrangement, as the Red
Cross War Council has appropriated
$2,5O0O00 for anti-tuberculosis work
in 1919 in lieu Of the money that ordi-
narily would be raised by Christmas
Seal Campaign. However, every per-
son joining the Red Cross during the
Red Cross Christmas Roll Call will be
awarded ten seals to be used as here
tofore.

WHERE WOUNDED men
YIELD TO DAY DREAMS
Restored to Health and viqor In
Red Cross ConvaIescent
Z Homes.

The surgeon has extracted the i'm.
partially distributed bits of shrapnel
from your works. The wounds have
healed. The wheels 90 round again,
and the clock ticks.
But 1t doesn't keep correct time.
This business Of calling "Timel |" on
the Boche means so many broken clocks
nowadays that the master-menders
can't keep them on their tahles after
they're mended. SO the question where
they shall sit around while they're be-
Ing regulated looms large.
The Red Cross answers that ques-
ton with its convalescent homes. It
has six of these In operation. A suit
able place Ii found-sometimes do
nated-and management and equip
ment are provided by the Red Cross,
while the Army has furnished disci-
pline and never-failing supply Of con-
valescents.
These homes mean that men who
are scarcely hospital subjects, yet who
can by no means 90 back to their du-
ties, have place that does what
"home" does for the French or Eng
Ash soldier, what "home" does for
any one, in fact, when the doctor gets
through.
You know. He says: you're all
right now. It's only a matter Of nurs-
Ing and food"
But yeu know he's only looking at
the works he's tinkered, and that the
soul within you i grousing as 1t never
did when the body was down and out.
1t wants something, and it doesn't
know what 1t Is. But II 1t doesn't get
1t pretty quick the works are going to
get gummed again. You know your
mother could find out what that dog
gone thing is right away and hand 1t
to you on a plate. But General Per-
shing won't let you 60 to her. :
And the War Department won't let her
come to you
Then you're taken to a Red Cross
convalescent homeland there Is the
very thing you wanted! But you
couldn't describe 1t even then to save
your life.
1t is bit of coddling, and pretty
surroundings, and women's faces, and
light laughter and time to play and all
that sort of thing. It Is forgetting the
crash of war and remembering that
there are pleasant, soft voices. It's
even such things as gaily-flowered sofa
pillows to jam into corner and make
a nice lolling place while you read
and smoke and calk. It's slippers in
stead of trench boots, or day dreams
in place Of the nightmare Of killing. :
