the mines in West Virginia have ocsn
largely eliminated from the New Errg-
land market because of the high boat
rates from tldewatcr points. f-nls
business is now largely handled by -the
PENNSYLVANIA producing districts.
! Furthermore" tho mining men say that
tho demand for lake coal from west
VIRGINIA has been materially reduced
during tho past year on account OF the
freight d!ffcrcntials which were imposed
during the war in favor Of Illinois ana
Indiana, amounting TO about on cents

which existed prior to the war.

Three cent postage does not impose

of this country it is the one that they
have carried with the least complaint.

1t is difficult to understand some Of
the vagarles and inconsistencies OF
the present administration. On July
/ the first class postal rates which
were increased early in the war are
to be reduced. We are to have two
cent instead of three-eent postage on
letters. Judging from the tax regu-
lations which are being announced
about as often as the daily newspap-

money. A commodity that is not sub.

Russians Must Be Liberated From

Paris, May 1S.-The feeding Of the
Russian population is no solution of
the Russian question, It is declared in
a memorandum sent to the peace
conference By Prince Lyoff Sergius
Sazoncff and President Tschaikowsky
Of the North Russian government
concerning the proposal to feed soviet
Russia through neutral countries on
condition that the Bolshevlki cease
hostilities. The memorandum says:
The allies wish to assist the Rus
sian people and to reduce the star
walton brought by The Bolshevill
regime. This cannot fail to awake
deep feelings for gratitude II is not
merely deed Of humanity but also a
manifestation of the solidarity OF
peoples.
Nevertheless the signers of this
declaration consider that the realiza
ton Of this generous thought will
have a contrary result unless efici
ent measures are taken to prevent the
Bolsheyiki authorities from interior

What Makes Rlrd,s.Eye Maple?

7 What makes the bird's-eye maple?
That is a question which you have
asked yourself when you looked at a
beautiful piece Of furniture made OF
this wood, says the American Fores-
TRY association OF Washington, ID. c.,
(which is campaigning for the planting
of memorial trees There have been
q number OF theories but the real rea-
sen is simple,
The favorite theory has been that
sapsuckers, by pecliing holes through
the bark OF young naples, make scars
which produce the bird's-eye figure in
the wood during succeeding years.
Bird-pecked hickory is often cited as
an analogous case, yet who eyersaw
bird's-eye figure in hickory, thoughthe
bark may have been perforated like
b collender by the bills of energetic
sapsuckers? The effect in the case of
hickory is the opposite OF bird's-eye in
fliaple; the wood is discolored and I'M
slightly. Some attribute II to the ac.
ton OF frost. but no such connection
between cause and effect has been
shown to exis..
The explanationof the phenomenon
Is simple, and person with good
magnfying glass can work II out for
himself The birds-eye figure is pro
duced by casual or abnormal buds
which have their origin under the
bark Of the trunk. The first buds OF
that kind may develop when the tree
Is quite small They are rarely able
to force their way through the bark
and become branches, but they may
live many years just under the bark
growing in length as the trunk in
creases in size, but seldom appearing
on the outside OF the bark. If one
such bud dies, another VIII likely rise

which produces the fantastic growth
known as birds-eye

trees by inserting buds beneath III,
