month and board. In 1918 and 1919 the
rate Jumped to $50 to 500 month, and
I'm some instances as high as SO or
$50 has been paid. Just now, because
Maine is pretty well stocked, the de-
mand for labor and the price show a
declining tendency. But in the United
States as a whole the supply of wood
Is short of the demand, and there
seems to be no prospect of lower
prices either of labor or product.

chusetts man, who got into the lum-

The common impression is that all
wood pulp is made into paper and
that the increased demand for news
print alone is responsible for the de-
mutation of our forest lands. It IS
true that most Of the pulp goes to
satisfy the appetite Of the printing
presses, but there have been deyel-
oped in recent years many and vari-
ous other uses for the fiber of the
spruce and poplar Innumerable
articles are now made of wood pulp

pie plates by the million, trunks and

NEW EYELIDS MADE FROM LEG
Operation Restores Sight Of Maine
Man injured Forty SeVen
Years Ago.

Bangor, Me.-Forty-seven years
without closing his eyes, then IA period
of total blindness, followed by com
plete restoration of sight, this is the
experience Of John Randolph Watson
Of the town OF Standish
Mr. Watson was II photographer in
Indnnola, and in 1856 an explosion Of
chemicals burned away his eyellds, nj
though the sight was not affected. But
with unprotected eyes he continued
for nearly half a century three years
Of the period being spent in Alaska,
where the severity of the climate
caused cataracts to form on both eyes
and results In loss of sight
He went to Philadelphia later, where
ne formerly lived for Il time, and was
M the llaGuemunn hospital, and by
grating flesh from his leg he got n
new set of eyellds. The success of the
operation is now assured. The cato-
racts were removed and the sight has
been restored,

A story told by Bishop Greer illus
trates the plain nature of the man. On
an occasion when he was to confirm q
class a carriage was sent for him in
charge of an English coachman who
had been imported by wealthy Amer
lean. Bishop Greer walked unaccom-
panied and in non-clerical dress from
his front door to the carriage and en-
tered it-but the driver did not move
his horses. After waiting for a mo-

he did not drive on.

DANGER OF WOOD
FAMINE is SEEN

Logging used to begin in November
and end In March. Now it goes on at
all seasons.
Saw Mills Small Factor.
The saw mill Is n small factor In
the great game Of turning Maine for
ests into money The long log
ger that is he who cuts for saWmills,
Is almost extinct. The big sawmill
drives are seen no more This is the
day Of the 'four-foot stuff which
makes NJ most Of the drives and gives
business 10 the railroads. The pulp
mills eat up so many millions Of feet
of spruce that speculative and statis-
teal persons wonder where 1t all
comes from and how long the supply
will last. So far as Maine is con-
cerncd there need be no fear Of a wood
famine very soon, but at the pres
ent rate Of cutting there is bound to
be a scarcity In the United States with
in few years that will send prices
kitlng.
The present annual consumption Of
pulp wood east Of the Mississippi
river Is about 100000 cords or $780,
100000 feet That Is using wood at
reckless rate, even with a big supply
in sight But there Is a greater drain
upon our wood resources. Fire takes
more than the mills The eastern
slope of the Rockies is - per cent
burnt land, and the timber map is
Splotchcd with great black patches all
the way from Puget sound to the
PenObscot In some parts Of Maine
the burnt area grently exceeds the
green. In the South the pine and the
cypress are being cut away at an
alarming rate, and In the Pacific states
the Douglas fir and other growths are
being turned into money as rapidly
MS possible.
To make up for all the cutting, lit
tie is being done. Scientific forestry
IS making some progress. but as yet
efforts in that direction are as nothing
compared with tree slaughter Re
forestation is being carried on in some
states, as on a small scale, in Maine,
but a tree doesn't grow In day. A
big spruce may be felled in five min
utes, but its reproduction will re-
qulre 40 years.
1t is not altogether a question Of
wood supply, either. As the forests 90
the floods will come, waterpowers
will fail and all industry will suf-
fer Therefore, there must be n lot
Of tree planting IN this country, else
pretty much everything will go b. the
board.

Vermin Adds to Cost
of Producing Pork

Washington, ID. C.-Lice add
n cent pound TO the cost of
producing pork. This has been
found in tests just completed
at the experiment farm of the
United States department of
agriculture at BeltSville, Md
Twenty-four lousy hogs were
secured and divided into two
lots as nearly equal as to quality
of animals as possible.
The two lots were managed
and fed the same way with the
exception that one lot was treat
ed to prevent lice. The animals
were weighed at regular inter
walls and at the end Of the fat
tenlng period it was found that
the hogs infested with lice cost
a cent a pound more to fatten
than those which were free Of
the troublesome pest
The officials of the depart
mcnt who had charge Of this ex.
pertinent give an interesting
side light In connectio. with
securing the lousy animals.
They communicated with some
OF the departments field men,
asking them to locate lousy
hogs. II was some time before
"A reply was received to this

lousy hogs were purchased the
owner learned why, and he i'm

BILE from kiver to kiver."
When a printed copy Of the covenant
and the peace pact is read section by
section, and an application is had of
the multitudinous national interests
involved, it is easy enough TO under
stand why criticism should pass con-
corning the length of time which it
took the conference in Paris to reach
its decision.
Fail to Get Light.
There are persons who go into the
galleries of the senate to listen to the
debate and who come away unlllu-
minated, and who because Of the tor
tuous paths of the arguments are
willing TO leave the following of them
to the senator's, and to shift the re-
sponsibility from their shoulders to
those of the men who are intrusted
with the business of making decisions
In high matters of state.
The galleries of the senate today
are interesting places, interesting in
part because of the diversified natures
Of those who attend the daily sessions.
Scores upon scores of men and wom-
en- go to the galleries for one day and
leave with the decision not to return.
There are scores of others, however,
who return day after day to listen to
the senators on this side and TO the
senator's on that side, enjoying the de-
bate for the very warmth of it and
probably hoping that some day a spark
will fly which will supply light
sufficient for the gallery student to
see his own way clear to an opinion
on this world pact.
Perhaps ii is the fact that enfran-
chisement has come to them in so
large a degree recently that makes the
women journey to the galleries in far
greater numbers than the men. II
has been noticeable i'm the senate, and
in the house, too, for that matter. in
recent months that the women are
showing a strong interest in matters
of legislation and of government gen.
orally.

THANKSGIVING DAY
DINNER COSTS $40
With Turkeys Selling at IS
Gents a Pound Family of
Five Cannot Get a Big Fowl
and Remain Within Limit
VEGETABLES SLIGHTLY
LOWER THAN LAST YEAR

Thanksgiving dinner for the average
Harrisburg family of five will cost
slightly more than $40 this year. ac-
cording to quotations issued to-day from
one of the city's leading grocery stores.
This price, of course, is dependent on
the presence or absence of turkey on the
menu. Some householders have passed
around the tip that their dinner is not
going to cost $40 by reason of the fact
that King Turkey will have no place
on the table.
$3.50 Over Last Year
The dinner this year will cost almost
$3.50 more than a similar dinner cost
last year, according to quotations given
by Arthur Williams. Federal food ad-
ministrator.
The upward trend of prices this year,
is accounted for by reason of the OBJ
normally high prices being paid for
dressed turkeys These fowls, cleaned
and ready for the pan, this year will be
offered to the consumer at 50 cents per
pound. an unexampled high price. The
general list, however, shows slight de-
crease in cost.
Included in the menu are soup meat,
celery, turkey, cranberries, sweet po~
tatoes. turnips. pumpkins, mixed nuts.
apples, oranges, coffee, bread, butter,
eggs, milk, etc.
