The proclamation by President Will
son of "Firoi Prevention Day" octo-
Der 0. brings before the country, in a
striking way, the necessity OF con-
serving the nations resources. which
is one OF the greatest internal ques-
tions OF the country. Millions OF dol
lars are invested In business de-
pendent on forest products. Our for
est fire bill is s3oyoo0.O0o annually.
The mounting cost OF print paper and
lumben Is enormous.
The report OF the Forest Service. In
response to the Senate resolution cali
ing for information on forest deple-
tion. discloses facts that must bring
to every one a realizing sense OF the
great Importance and necessity for
conserving our forest resources.
There are now in the United States.
this report shows si,000,000 acres OF
waste forest land, devastated by cutt-
ing and by fires. Nothing OF value Is
growing on these lands, or likely to
grow without a huge expenditure for
reforestation. Besides thisJwe have
an area or comparatively 'unproduc-
tive secohd-growth forest three times
as great as the waste land area
Each year we cut on $500, 900 acres
and burn on the average no less than
D. 400, 900 acres.
And the destruction proceeds. OF
the vast primeval forest that consti-
tuted 30 considerable a part OF the
great natural wealth of our country.
only two-fifths remain, and this re-
mainder Is being consumed four
times faster than IL Is being re-
placed.
There are a15, ,ooo, 900 acres of state
and privately owned forest lands In
the united states, IN tne protectlOn
of which the Government should CO.
operate. Half OF this vast area at
present is wholly without protection,
according to estimates of the Ameri-
can Forestry Association, and the
other half is protected but made
quately.
Many Industries have been unable
to obtain their supplies of timber at
any price. In other Industries the
output has been reduced by as much
as 90 per cent. Anything that ad-
versely affects the lumber and wood
using Industries OF the country natu-
rally reacts to the disadvantage OF
consumers. The Lake States. once
the center of the lumber industry,
now pay millions OF dollars In freight
rates on lumber to keep their wood
using industries going. and the center
of the lumber industry Is moving to-
ward the Pacific coast.
Seventy-fve per cent of the diff
culties confronting us in the task OF
keeping our forest lands productive
will be overcome by adequate fire
protection of our forest lands.

will be made to place the case on the

said, however:

this suit and to reveal the most

theft of Mrs. Brice's affections. Monte

here with the labor elements as they

IT DOES PROHIBIT

1t is not uncommon to hear friend
or a neighbor say, "Prohibition won't
prohibit" and we recall how many
changes were hung on that saying in
the early days Of this state. But we
have found that prohibition DOES
prohibit as a general rule, although
bootlegging is still going on to more
or less an extent. But as against this
we can all remember how for num-
Der of years the open saloon hourished
in North Dakota after statehood, and
we can remember, too, how gradually
public sentiment, and the law, put
them out Of business until even the
man with money and a thirst was put
to it to get 'wet up"
1t was not so long ago that is was
a common thing to see drunken men
on the streets of any town, but today
an intoxicated individual is very much
of curiosity and emphasizes the fact
that prohibition is prohibiting in
prettey good shape.
1t will take thirty or more years for
the nation to come to real prohibition,
and it will doubtless pass through the
various stages of sobriety that North
Dakota has experienced, but within
one or two generations the present
thirst will have largely passed away
and in its place will be general reali-
cation that Intoxicating liquor is not
essential to personal or national pros
perity, but curse humanity is we'll
rid of.-Beach Advance.
