were scuffling when Mr.. Wheeler
entered his home unexpectedly, it
is said. Further information is
to the effect that Wheeler secur-
ed his shotgun and that Heiser,
leaving the woman centered his
attentions on the husband.
According to Mrs. Wheeler a
fight between the two men en-.
sued, continuing outside the
house, where Wheeler finally
broke loose and shot Heiser as
he made for his automobile
Heiser was heavily clothed, wear
ing an overcoat, but the full
charge from one barrel entered
his back.
At the coroner's inquest Walter
Searson testified that Wheeler
came to his house last night an(
asked Searsons to phone for {
doctor, saying that he, Wheeler
had shot Heiser. When the doc
tor arrived Heiser was dead
Wheeler was arrested and placed
in the county Jail here at mid
night. Heiser's funeral will be
heldstomorrow morning. He was
about 40 years of age. He leaves

our Commercialized Christmas.
Christmas is the decoration day Of
a commercial age. Then, as on no
other day, we face with compassion
those who have fallen in our battles
for wealth. For a moment we think
OF the thousands of children who have
no share in that easy life we give our
children, and must find the seasons
JOY in the charity dinner. Along with
the barter to which we have debased
our giving within our circle of &C
Quaintances, we play at extending the
spirit Of the day to those who are
the pawns Of our industrial game. The
Salvation army lass, standing cold and
numb on the street corner, collecting
funds for Christmas baskets for the
poor, reminds us Of the wreckage left
in the wake Of our prosperity. We
give trife to help the poor temper
tie bitterness Of the year with .
couple Of hours good eating.

rather more in the middle West.
where cOnifers are not common
in the woods, than on the east

they fringe every hillside. But
the tree most commonly used Is
a shOrt-needle pine found in the
woods Of Northern Michigan and
Wisconsin. Early in September
the Indians about the lumber
camps of this region are set to
work cutting these trees for the
market, and by early November
little fleet of vessels makes its

THE POWER OF LAUGHTER

There are varieties Of laughs, some
more potent than others. that range
from the musical gurgle OF the IN
FAINT to that which has been designat'
ed as arising from the equine family.
Lots of people seem to look upon lie
and events as too gloomy to be IN
any way amusing. These people only
live half their years-really and are
q great deal like the cow that chews
many pounds Of stuff daily to obtain
Just a small portion Of real food.
There never lived a human that did
not enjoy laughter more than tears,
and yet there are those who feel that
their million in life is to be solemn
lest the roars Of their fat friends up
set the equilibrium Of the world.
Laugh and grow fat is the very
best of the old saws-and 1t Is 4
"saw" that still cuts keenly, dismem'
bering the rough places in life. To
live is to laugh; and to laugh Is to
live. Florida Grower.

TO SAVE OUR FORESTS

The Committee on Forest Conser-
walton Of the American Paper and
Pulp Association has made public a
set Of recommendation intended to
facilitate the adoption Of a definite
forest policy. q
In the first place the commi- tee
urges a national survey and classi
cation which will determine present
supplies and designate areas suitable
for watershed protection, and those
suitable for future timber supply.
1t urges also the extension of pub
purchase Of cut-over lands. Public
forests should be twice their presen.
area. The production of large-sized
timber is too long process to inter
est large amounts Of private capital
but it is paying business for the
public.
The third recommendation calls
for vigorous corporation between
state and national governments to
reduce the present enormous annual
loss by fire.
Uniform forestry laws are needed,
and state encouragement for nurser-
les. There should be state-paid ex-
perts on the job. An immediate
program for replanting the vast areas
which have been left barren by
short-sighted methods Of the past is
Of vital Importance.
It is straightforward enough
program. All that is needed is ali
intelligent public demand that It be
translated into action, and officials
who can rise to the work and carry
1t out thoroughly and promptly. It
is estimated that our annual con-
sumption Of wood, including loss by
fire, storms and insects, is now two
or three times as great as the annual
growth. What is going to be done
about it.-St. Petersburg Times.

THE QUTTTER


John Wanamaker the worlds
most successful merchant the owner
OF the biggest stores IN New York
and Philadelphia, and the largest
user of newspaper advertising space
that all history has known. says: "If
there is one business on earth that a
gutter should severely leave alone
it is advertising. To make success
of advertising, one must be prepared
to stick to 1t like barnacle on
boats bottom. He should know be-
fore he begins 1t that he must spend
of it. Somebody
should tell him also that he cannot
hope to reap results commensurate
with his expenditures early in the
game. Advertising doesn't jerk; II
begins very gently at first, but the
pull is steady. It increases day by
day and year by year. until It exerts
an irresistible power. It is likened
to team pulling a heavy load. A
thousand spasmodic jerhy pulls will
rot bulge the load. while one-half the
power, exerted in steady effort, will
start and keep 1t moving. There are
three ways to make advertising pay.
and these are the only ways. There
are no others. First, is to keep at it.
second, is 70 keep at It; third, is to
keep at It.
