the burnt area greatly exceeds the

Advance In Pulp Wood Values.
The advance in pulp wood values
within 30 months has been remark
able, even for the times. Before the
entrance of this country into the war,
peeled wood delivered in the mill yard
in Maine was worth 50 cord.
Now the price is SIS in Marie and in
New York state SIG cord. This nd
vance is due in part TO higher wages
and In part to little protiteerlng or
turn of thrift by the land owners.
Wages before the war, that is up to
the spring of 1917, were $50 to $50
month and board. In 1918 and 1919 the
rate jumped to $50 to 500 a month, and
in some instances MS high as S75 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 MS whole the supply of wood
is short of the demand, End there
seems to be no prospect of lower
prices either of labor or product.
One operator in Maine. Massa-

The common impression is that all

that the increased demand for news

"As the parents section was being
formed 1t became evident that many
Of the fathers and mothers OF SOL
diers are aged and probably too old
to cover the entire length of the pa
rade- Some of these parents, it was
found, undoubtedly would drop out Of
the line after marching only part Of
the route.
Therefore, 1t was deemed best TO
give them the last position, so that
all who wanted might drop out with
out difficulty. The committee in
charge requested the last position for
the parents for the safety and com
fort of the parents, and this was the
sole reason for assigning the moth
ers and fathers to the last position.
Arrangements have been made to
have Red Cross ambulances follow
the parents section. so that il any Of
the aged men and women grow IA
tigued or i'll, they can be given rest
or treatment without delay. The
complaint that the parents have been
slighted by being assigned the last
position obviously is unjust, for the
committee had only the welfare OF
these people in mind in requesting
the last position"
