BY HENRY WOOD

iOnlted Press stair Correspondent
Paris. (By Mail) Paris dueling is
definitely dead.
This is the concensus Of both the
French press and the French public
following the few sporadic attempts
that have taken place since the arm
istice to revive what was formerly
the most picturesque and the most
harmless of Partisan sports.
Two causes are conceded to be
largely responsible for the untimely
demise of these affairs Of honor"
namely the war and the nigh cost
Of living.
During the five years Of the war
the French public became too accus-
toned to seeing hundreds and thou
sands of men killed and mutilated
to be able to stir up any enthusiasm
or interest in a mere skin scratch
sustained in duel.
Secondly, the high cost of living
and the deprecated value Of cur
rency and fixed fortunes generally
has rendered 1T indrely too expen-
sive an affair to stage Partisan
Guel Without the duel being staged
80 that the two combattants might
get the greatest amount Of pubiic-
ty and social gossip out of it, there
is very little object in risking aaving
ones skin scratched and possibly get
ting infected with sleeping sickness
IN crobes.
According to La Laberta. which
recently published an obituary no
;.oe Of the duel" affaire of honor
at Faris are now being settled in
The following manner:
When two "messiuers' get inyolv
ed in an argument in which the
honor OF one or the other OF them
becomes jolted, the latter says to
the former:
you're bloody, bow.legged
knocked kneeded, spindle shanked
war-profiteer" or words to that eff
feet
You're vulgar nouveau richie !
replies the aggressor
Consider yourself slapped in the
face replies the aggressed.
Consider your face equally slap
ped retorts the aggressor.
Thereupon, there being absolutely
no deeper limit of either insult or
injury to which the two can sink,
they either turn their backs to each
other and walk away, or else shake
hands and are reconciled on the
spot.
Before the war Of course the two
Having got to the point where they
had constructiyely slapped each 9th
ers' face, seconds were called in,
efforts made at reconciliation which
always failed, and then with great
form and pomp, everyone clad in
high silk hats, Prince Albert coats
and crysanthemums in the button
hole, the whole lot repaired to the
ferris wheel on the Champ de Mars
and proceeded to have each others
gore.
Before the gore stage was reached,
however press photographers took

slayers with arms in their hands,

A GOOD NAN" WON.

To the Cherokee Democrat 1T looks
as tho any good man could have
beaten Cummins."
The Democrat fails to consider that
a good man" would have been I'M
able to have arrayed and amaiga-
mated behind himself the elements
that supported Brookhart.
Brookhart drew a greater vote than
a better man would have known how
or have been willing to secure in the
contest for the nomination.
It is not likely that "a good man
would have gladly lent himself to be
used as a club for the political exc
cution OF senator who had refused
the dictation of a particular class; to
have lent himself to the reprisal upon
Cummins by Jim Pierce and his band
OF political danites: to have appealed
to every possible element merely for
votes; to class hatreds and personal
and to have pulled every
possible wire leading to unwisdom in
What good man" In
Iowa could have been induced to head
q campaign like that?
Now a good man and statesman
would have been an excellent chance
against the senator this year. He
would have had to stand on the prin-
ciples which have guided the senator
in his public life, however, to have
had such a chance. And when the
good men over the state had been
canvassed none seems to have been
found who was willing to oppose
Senator Cummins. The good man"
Of sufficient political prominence and

PAPER AND LUMBER SCARCE.

Newspapers and magazines and
likewise lumber can never be as
cheap again as they have been In
the past. Three fifths OF the original
timber Of the United States is gone.
What is left is being consumed four
times as fast as II grows. OF the
two fifths left standing two thirds OF
II is located west OF the Great Plains
where it 1t is inaccessible for use to
most Of the country except at great
cost for transportation. Thus only IA
per cent OF the original supply OF
standing timber Of the United States
Is located near enough 70 the popula-
ton that wants it to be accessible
Most Of that is in the southern states
where the cut will soon be no larger
than will supply local needs.
For eastern and Mississippi Valley
regions print paper made from wood
pulp and lumber are going to be
scarce and scarcer for all time to
come. The government will be forced
to nationwide policy Of -foresta-
ton but the growing of new timber
must necessarily be done on rough
and waste lands which lie either in
the extreme east or extreme west
Lands that will grow food for man
or for beast will not be given over to
timber culture
The Mississippi Valley region Is
fast coming to the brick age and will;
always have to pay high subscrip-
ton prices for its newspapers.
Young men Of today should turn
their attention to clay products. Tho
brick and hollow tile manufacture
should be the one industry Of great
est progress and development during
the next decade. Transportation
charges are serious element in the
cost of brick making which demands
q wide distribution Of brick making
plants. Men who know how to make
good brick should be able to command
capital and clay deposits capable Of
making good brick should be cap
italized. opened and worked to their
limit.
Somebody. some day may discover
a plant that will grow a nbre suit
able for paper pulp but nobody has
discovered that plant or process yet
and until the discovery is made
people will have to pay enough for
their print paper products to cover
tho cost OF transportation from afar
and the cost Of following the con-
stantly receding forests OF spruce
timber into British Columbia and AL
aska until the United States and
Canadian governments can grow a
new supply which can not possibly
come into the pulp mills for at least
thirty years.

senator. That was why he was re-
nominated. 1t was not a question of
former alignments or Of personal dis
tastes. 1t hinged upon public welfare
and common Justice
The contest this year was not pro
or anti Cummins: the senator's per-
sonality was entirely subordinate to
the Issue. The purpose and the plat
forms of the candidates decided the
election. 1t was a question Of repre-
sentation OF the sense and will Of
Iowa republicans, of n good man In
the senate representing the sincerity
and honest thought Of Iowa or good
man slaughtered to make a radical
holiday.
A good man would have had
chance against Cummins. A good
man always has a chance. As 1t rs
good man won.

The Potato BUD to tho Socialist.

The Potato Bug to tho Socialist.
The socialist caught a 'tato bug
Eating his healthy vines;
The socialist planned to kill the bug
With lusty cries and whines:
You needn't whine, the good bug
cried.
I'm practicing your creed,
Only living where I'm put
And taking what I need.
You say the world is yours to use.
This vine Is mine to eat:
You advocate destructive laws,
My job is clean and neat:
You don't believe in working,
Watch my daily round,
l don't pay any taxes
Or help to till the ground.
The men you think have got no
brains
You want to shoot and carve.
I'm chewing up this 'tato vine
So fools like you must starve.
Free love you strongly advocate.
No man-laws govern me
Tip this vine and count the eggs
Ny love is surely free.
You claim whatever's in your reach
And never pay your dues:
claim this little 'tato vine
To have. to hold. to use
And If my socialistic ways
Destroy the food you need
You haven't got a single kick
Unless you change your creed.

The rose with all it's beauty and

the bumblebee. Among the humber
plants there is the dandelion that so

Second--What sort of a nest does
the cuckoo build?
The European cuckoo builds no
nest. but puts it's eggs out to be
Matched. as does our COW blackbird
and our cuckoo is master of only
the rudiments of nest building. No
other bird in the woods builds so
shabby nest: it is the merest make
shift-a loose scaffolding of twigs
thru which the eggs can be seen.
Third-What is the difference be-
tween the American and British
strawberry?
The wild strawberry is more
wood plant in England than with us.
Excepting the rarer variety Ora
garia vesca). our strawberry thrives
best in cultivated fields. The British
strawberry is found exclusively. I
believe, in woods and copses. and the
ripened fruit Is smaller or lighter
colored than our own.

CSummer)
Rooted in Eden. still it lifts
Its reckoning boughs aloft to the
latest lovers,
Hiding within It's leafy riffs
The red ripe fruit that the newest
Eve discovers.
No surly child OF the forest wild,
But proud of It's ancient fellowship
with the humans,
Its whispered welcome lifts as mild
And soft as yielding woman's.
Love should be
Delicate. delicate, under the apple
tree.
(Winter)
Yet when the summer love is dead
The heart OF the friendly tree
must grieve and languish.
Bleak and lonely. its LEAKAGE shed,
Its gnarled and WRITTEN branches
tremble in anguish.
Shrill and unkind, the winter wind
Echoes the vows that were never
to be forgotten
Till the sun in heaven turned blind
And the stars fell withered and
rotten.
Life must be
Sorrowful. sorrowful. under the ap-
pie tree.
(Spring)
But life is a pageant. Scene by scene
1t passes from disillusion to fresh
desire.
So. when the laughing HITS turn
green
The apple tree blazes again with
snow-white fire,
It's faith restored to praise the Lord
With the fragrance and glory Of
all it's blossoming gladness.
All, when I die, may Death reward
My soul with the sprlngtime mad
ness!

Deep in the blossoms under the apple
