PLEASE TELL ME A STORY!
BY George Matthew Adams


One of the prominent controlling
evidences that a God surely lives, IS
wrapped within the heart of memory.
If we couldn't run quickly back to
childhoods hour-if only for moment
how drab would be the work of the
day! If we couldn't hear the sweet
encouragement Of voices long s1lenced
or feel the touch Of hands once warm.
which so loved to stroke away the
pain, even imagination would lose its
pull and its color would fade into a
deep darkness.
We want a thousand times to hear a
door quietly open and mother to tuck
us tightly in our bed-and we want to
gay once more: please tell me "A
story"
And what a story it always was!
. Every word dipped into a can of love.
We all have our lacks and longings.
But If someone is around to tell us a
story, the flowers begin to sprout right
off, and birds which sat silently, hidden
by dense foliage, open their threats
and pour out their favorite songs.
Have you never Weakened suddenly
from sound slumber and longed for
someone to slip into your bed chamber
end tell you story-so that your heart
might get sleepy again and your body
melt into serene rest once more?
If you have never had the thrill of a
childs arms about your neck and the
words please tell me a story" whis-
pered into your ears-then I would say
that you have missed a whole acre of
heaven from your experience.
1t is a good sign to get tired. 1t is
part Of the plan of Nature. But some
times you get so tired that you can't
get to sleep. somehow. But if you will
then say: God, please tell me a
story" He will.
And then you will awake
ITO find thy dream to be
A MONDAY light
And Truth to thee"

The promulgation of the above regulations by the Department of the Interior ends fight started way back in 1914 and which has been waged continuously before Congress since that time. The movement was begun by M. A. Ellis, a we'll known Alaskan mining man of the Cache Creek district.
 Mir. Ellis interest in birch was created in an unusual way. It started with a wedding his daugh- ter's- who desired to have a bed room suite of birch. That seemed reasonable enough, according to MT. Ellis, whose only previous acquaint- ance with birch had been in the shape of. firewood. Subsequent de- vejopments, however, proved broad ening. He found on investigation that birch for firewood and in the

shape of furniture were enormously different: In the end he bought the desired suite but, he remarked later, that it pretty near broke him.
 Sees His Opportunity
 The high price of the furniture brought home to Mir. Ellis the fact that there was not inconsidersble quantity of birch wood in Alaska going to waste. He had knowledge of number of stands of such tim Ler rear the country in which he had been operating and had heard of other stands. In 1914 he secured and sent samples of Alaska birch to a few manufacturers of furniture in the East. He was promptly advised by each of them that there would be good market for the timber. It Was stated that the stands of sim ;lia, timber. in the States were prac- tica!ly exhausted.
 Snag is Struck.
 M-. Ellis immediately began to make preparations to grasp the op- portunity he had uncovered. Being on the public domain, he knew that he would have to-. get permission from the Federal authorities to cut the timber .and immediately made application. to do so. Here he en- cvuntsred his first, difficulties. He was immediately informed that he could cut birch L for domestic con- sumption but he couldn't cut it and ship it outside of the Territory for any purpose. Exportation of Alaskan birch was ,"verbeten."
 Fight Is Begun.
 |. Halted temporarily but not dis outraged, Mir. Ellis started on . campaign to have the troublesome restrictions removed. When he had asked the General Land Office for permission to cut this timber, for export, ke was informed that it could not be done until remedial legislation, should be enacted by Congress. In- 1915. a bill was in- troduced for the removal of the re- strictiops. It was. killed In each succeeding session of Congress a

If the bomb plot in New York City last Thursday noon was the work of Radicals or Extremists, the results will go down in history as most horri- ble. Innocent people suffered Inno- cent people paid the penalty of the wave of insanity of certain no-ac- counts. It is time for the government of the United States to take a firmer hand over certain publications which are being printed and distributed na- tionwide. These publications, of which there are many, serve to disrupt hu- man emotions and cause criminal in stincts to arise. Many publications contain exceedingly anarchistic artic- les, bitter attacks on government pol icies and law enforcement and excite the unlearned in the United States.
