struction of highways and the reim-
bursement for the cost Of permanent

ed after March /, l919,. but such aid
and reimbursement shall not be grant
ed in any county for more than rs per
cent of the cost of such road or high

mile, nor for more than one hundred
miles in any one county, except, that
in counties having an assessed valua-
ton of more than 100 million dollars
such aid and reimbursement may be
granted for not more than one hun
dred and fifty miles of road or high
way; and the restrictions and limita-
tions Of the constitution, relating to
debts and internal improvements,

thority retained or conferred by this

Forests Are Plundered.

Uncle sam, which means all OF US,
holds ownership of countless acres of
forest lands which are being recklessly
plundered, This has been going on for
decades. Protests against it are an old
story. To most of is the forests are
far away. So is Washington. A mo-
mentarg feeling OF apprehension or an
ger, perhaps, at the squandering of our
forest resources, and then we turn back
again to troubles nearer at hand,
We thus see that while a little law
will avenge the slaughter of a shade
tree, much law has not sufficed to pro-
tect our forest treasure lands.
Newspapers are printed on newsprint
paper, which is made largely Of wood
pulp. In New York city alone the dig
newspapers daily use from 1900 to 1,60B
tons of newsprint. Trees by the thou
sands are felled TO meet this demand.
These fallen forest monarchs are sluiceo
into uniform lengths. They are cut into
chips, then crushed to shreds and boiled
until only the fiber, known as wood
pulp, or sulphite, is left.
This pulp Is hauled to a paper mill
by rail, With other materials it is
thrown into machines called heaters,
and becomes a water-Soaked mass,
which is pumped through a succession
OF machines that bleach 1t. wash II and
