DANGER OF WOOD
FAMINE IS SEEN

Logging used to begin In November
and end In March. Now II goes on nj
all seasons.
Saw Mills Small Factor.
The saw mill Is small factor In
the great game OF turning Maine for
ests Into money. The long log
ger. that IL. 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 up most of the drives and gives
business TO the railroads. The pulp
mills eat up so many millions of feet
OF spruce that speculative and statis-
teal persons wonder where II all
comes from and how long the supply
viii last. So far MS Maine Is con
cerned there need be no fear of a wood
famine very soon, but at the pres
ent rate of cutting there is bound to
be scarcity In the United States with
In few years that will send prices
kiting.
! The present annual consumption Of
pulp wood east of the Mississippi
river Is about 7,OOOOOO cords. or $780,
WO,OOO feet. That Is using wood ut n
reckless rate. even with 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 70 per cent
burnt land, and the timber map Is
splotched with great black patches all
the way from Puget sound to the
Penobscot. In some parts of Maine
the burnt area greatly exceeds the
green. In the South the pine and the
cypress are being cut away ut an
alarming rate, and In the Pacific states
the Douglas fir and other growths are
being turned into money as rapidly
as 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 small scale, in Maine

Vermin Adds to Cost
Of Producing Pork

Washington. ID. C.-Lice add
a 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
tening 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.
ment who had charge Of this ex.
pertinent give an interesting
side light In connection with
securing the lousy animals.
They communicated with some
Of the departments field men,
asking them to locate lousy
hogs. 1t was some time before
a reply was received to this
surprising order. After the
lousy hogs were purchased the
owner learned why, and he im.
mediately built dipping vat
and began to treat the animals
to prevent lice.

FRIEDA HEMPEL.

From some private communications
it would appear as if a concerted
effort was being made to discredit
Nine. Hempel as being so distinctly
pro-German that she should not be
accepted by American audiences
even now that the war is over.
All during the war period Nine
Hempel behaved with exemplary
reticence and care. Not long ago, as
we know. she was married to ar
American citizen. She gave hei
services freely in Liberty Loan, Rec
Cross and other campaigns, and Ger,
tainly should not be classed with the
German artists who invited criticism
by their open expression of sympathy
with the Huns.
Nine. Hempel has charming
personality and is so sincere and SC

as it has been called. that she should

The Reward of Labor.

The fact that few takers have
been able to make temporary sue
cesses in music teaching has a mos,
discouraging effect upon many young
teachers. They see man who has
been grocer's clerk in a small town
20 to a great metropolis. study voice
for a year. and then set himself up
in some other city as n master o;
singing or as a conductor. BY reason
of sheer nerve and bluff" he worms
his way into a certain social set, and
often does more business than many
far worthier teachers. Nevertheless
the student should note that by far
the larger number of successful
teachers are those who have worked
long and hard. The writer does not
know of one really well-known and
highly regarded piano teacher in his
city who has not done everything pos
sible in his youth to merit success

works showed such painstaking care

NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL
CHRISTMAS CAROLS

Those OF US who are always on the
lookout for some new musical activity
are occasionally rewarded by finding
one which has been in existence for
a good many years, but has never
been brought to the attention of the
public so that they might enjoy IT,
During the Christmas season we have
been fortunate enough to make such
a find at the National Training School
for Girls. located on Conduit road
near the District Line.
For many years these girls have
been giving Christmas Cantata
which has been arranged by the su-
perintendent. Mrs. J. ~ Griffith. to
help the girls secure a vision Of the
worlds greatest event by Participating
simply and reverently in its rendition
each year on Christmas Day and in
the afternoon of the following Sunday.
In this cantata many of our familiar
Christmas hymns and carols are in
terwoven to make a continuous story
which is illustrated by a series of pic
lures posed by girls in costume. who
are selected from among the members
of the school according to merit
Last Friday evening this cantata
WAS presented in Trinity Episcopal
Church. The only light in the audi
torium was from the large electric
star in the chancel and few smaller
ones about the gallery. a group. con-
