The rate Of depletion of the forests
Of this country is more than twice.
probably three times, what is actually
being produced by growth in form
serviceable for products other than
nrewood. Consequently, high prices Of
lumber are not wholly due to in
creased costs Of production. An impor-
tant factor Is the ever-retreating
sources Of timber supply. Already the
supplies of all the great eastern CEN
ters of production are approaching ex-
haustion, with the exception OF the
South, and even there most Of the
mills have not over 10 to Is years
supply of virgin timber. Already the
southern pine Is being withdrawn from
many points as a competitive factor
and its place taken by western tim
bers. This inevitably results in added
freight charges, which the consumer
must pay.
Want Enlarged Program.
These facts are called to public at
tention in the annual report Of the for
ester Of the United States department
Of agriculture. recently published.
Their presentation Is accompanied by
. a plea that the nation adopt an en-
larged program of public acquisition
Of forests by the government the
states and municipalities, and protec-
ton and perpetuation Of forest
growths on all privately owned lands
which may not better be used for agri-
culture and settlement.
In the early years of the present
century 1t looked as though the man
ductive properties might be voluntarily
undertaken by private owners on a
large scale, but since then the situa-
ton has materially changed. The need
for the adoption Of an enlarged pro-
gram of acquisition. the United States
department of agriculture points out,
has become increasingly urgent.
Must Join hands.
More than 20 years ago the division
of forestry, as it was then called, offer
private timber owners who might wish
to consider applying forest manage.
ment to their properties. By the mid.
die of 1905 requests had been received
for the examination Of private hold.
ings. large and small. comprising in
all 100000 acres Of land. Many of
these requests were from large lumber
companies and other owners Of exten.
sive timber tracts. On the strength of
the showing made by the preliminary
examinations, number of these large
owners entered into cooperative agree,
ments for the preparation Of work
ing plans.
But private forest interests failed to
follow up the beginning, and the gov
ernment and the states. In the opinion
Of the department OF agriculture. must
Join hands to work out a program that
will corrclate public and private ef-
forts looking to the protection and
proper administration Of forests. The
function Of the federal government
in addition to handling the national
forests. 1t Is suggested. would be to
stimulate. guide and coordinate state
action and conduct necessary investi
cations regarding the best methods OF
forestry. to assist the states in the
classification Of land. and to harmonize
action between the different states
The states would also handle public
property owned by them and they
would have further direct respOn
sibility In connection with the protec.
tion and perpetuation Of private for.
est lands.

POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE TAKEN
TO CELEBRATION IN
BEET CULTIVATOR

The DR.. and Mrs Toolson gave a
reception for their friends last Sun
day night at the ReXall store 1t is
true that the festivities of the even
ing were npremeditated so far as
the Doctor and his bride were con-
cerned. From their point of view
the affair no doubt seemed perfect
ly extemporaneous---ev impromp-
tu. But it must be admitted that
both of them showed themselves to
be thoroughly game. So far as any
body could see, they were the de-
lighted, as well as delightful, host
and hostess.
How things have changed since
the good old days when everybody
was barbarian, Then it was the
wife who carried the heavy burdens
Not so with the leap year brides in
1920. For proof / would refer you
to the good Doctor hitched to the
ioned seat, sat the bride AS the
doctor drew the carriage up the
street, his sleighbells jingled merri-
ly, and he looked as happy as if
drawing a beet cultivator were his
favorite recreation.
At the close of the reception, a
present was given the couple. r. B.
OFT made the presentation address,
in which he expressed the sentiment
that the gift would never be used as
a weapon. The groom in his reply
made remarks that were fitting to
the occasion. (Great applause)
The affair was one of the jolliest
little celebrations that ever came to
town, and everybody seemed to enter
into the hilarious spirit of the occa-
sion.
Special mention should be made
of the band. which furnished appro-
pirate selections.

W can have another beet cultivator

The time is ripe for a Water De-
velopment Company to be organized.
Such a company could solve the
problem OF irrigation water for our
project, and make every acre of our
land worth at least $4,000.
Here is a plan submitted by the
writer. Incorporate with each hol-
der of land under the 20, 500 acre
age on a basis of two dollars per
acre, or SAL 100000. Make each one
liable for his subscription, no more,
no less. One must be a member to
participate, and no new members af-
ter operations begin---making it nee
essary for every one permitted to
join to do so at once.
Then buy drilling machine and
get artesian wells until we have a
flow in the aggregate of two thou

a water right and productive val

CASSIA ACADEMY DEFEATS
TWIN FALLS HIGH
By Lee Dayley

Playing before one of the largest
crowds of this season, the Cassia
Academy team defeated the fast
Twin Falls High School team in the
c. A. gym last Friday night.
The game was fast and exciting
and every man playing his best
Both teams showed that they were
in for blood, and every minute was
filed with thrills. Several times the
crowd was brought to its feet by the
marvellous basket throwing.
The c. A. boys had bad luck with
their basket throwing 1t seemed
that magnetic force kept the ball
from going into the basket. II all
such close ones had gone through,
thescore undoubtedly would have
reached the so mark
The Twin Falls boys had better
luck, and whenever they got h G
chance to throw for a goal. the ball
went in. But, due to close guarding
on the part of the c. A. guards. they
had very few chances to try for a
goal.
Butler was replaced by Sessions
in the 1st half, but. this did n O 7
weaken the team.
The first half ended in a tie at rs
showing the style of play put up by
both sides.
In the second half. the G. A. boys
led the way, and by close guarding
and by clever basket throwing were
able to lead at the finish.
Elden Whittle was back in the
lineup and seemed to instill the old
pep into his teammates. Elden was
the high point man of the m G
scoring 23 points. Garn Stevens
played a wonderful game, his man
being the best on the Twin Falls
team. Garn proved his real worth
to the team by holding his man tc
10 points, while he himself made 6
points, and from difficult angles
Thurber scored 6 points and held
his man we'll under control. Ses-
sions and Guy Stevens scored / field
goal each.
For Twin Falls, Krengle at For
ward was high point man, scoring
III points, while Carter at center
4 scored 10.

WILSON Y0KES LEAGUE
WITH PARTY DONKEY.

President Wilson has come
down the ladder of idealism very
rapidly since the day he set out
to make the world safe for de-
mocracy,n but it was not until his
telegram to Chairman Hamaker,
Of Portland, Ore, that he delib-
erately stepped off the lowest
rung. If that telegram means
anything, it means that Demo
cratic Leader" Wilson proposes
now to make use of the League
of Nations to keep his party, and
his faction within that party, in
Office.
He has completed the journey
from the sublime to something
very much more sinister than
the ridiculous.
One would think that our late
Allies stood with accusing fingers
pointed at us, charging us with
dishonorably deserving them if
we dared to accept the Lodge
reservations. But what is the
fact ? They have, with a gray
ity and weight as nearly official
as possible, served solemn notice
on us that they viii accept the
treaty gladly with the Lodge
reservations attached, far more
gladly than they will see it fail
of ratification because of them.
Lord Grey has said so most ex-
plicitly. The French have said
so. Where they see a breach of
faith is in the inexplicable and
stubborn refusal of our President
to permit ratification on the only
Obtainable terms.
Yet now he wants to magnify
the Lodge reservations" into
repudiation-or is it only into
campaign issue which will oring
the Bakers, the Burlesohs, the
Palmers, his whole official fam
lily, back into Office for four more
years :?
