 Canadian Forests

WASHINGTON, May 28 (by Associated Press) Exports of wood pulp from Canada to the United States for the eleven months ending with February were only 11,828 words, against 1,499,107 cords for the same months of the preceding year.

 This falling off of the ex- port of wood plup to the United States has caused the inaugura- tion of the movement in Wash ington for retaliatory embargo on coal, sulphur and dyestuffs.

Searches for Son, Finds Him Dead.
The finding of the body of Frank
Wright at the old Wright home
stead northwest of Usage Sunday oc-
cassioned quite shock. At first the
rumor was abroad that he had sui
cided, or had been the victim of
foul play, but coroner's inquest de-
cided that he had come to his death
from heart trouble, as no evidences
of any kind of untoward circumstan-
ces was found.
He is the son of Giles T. Wright,
and was farming some land adjoin-
ing his fathers. His father became
uneasy concerning Frank, as he had
not seen him about for several days,
and went to look for him Sunday
morning. Going into the house he
found him dead in his bed. He had
been dead for a number of days
when found.-Osage News.

Just as Easy to Raise Apples.


In accordance with theory of his
that it is just as easy to raise an
apple tree as it is a box elder or
maple, H. A. Pond last week planted
six apple trees in the parking north
of his residence. Some commented on
the fact and asked him how many
apples he expected to get from the
trees out in the street. That feature
of the matter is not worrying Mr..
Pond any, however, for he says they
will make just as good shade as any
tree and he is not selfish enough to
fuss over a few apples. Besides the
shade they will have the advantage
of being beautiful with blossoms in
the spring. 1t is his opinion that if
W hen people set out trees, they
would plant apple trees the benefits
in every way would be greater, and
that there would be no prettier town
in the county of Fayette at blossom
ing time if all the trees in the
streets were fruit trees. Some of the
western cities which are noted for
their beauty get their reputation
from the numerous fruit trees at the
time they are in bloop.-Fayette

THE DAYS WORK.
Scarcity of Dwellings Leading to
High Rents and High Cost
Real Estate.

The scarcity of dwellings all over
the country is leading to high rents
and high cost of real estate. This
becomes one of the biggest items in
the cost of living. If sufficiency
of dwellings could be provided,
prices of rents and owning a home
would come down. o
Yet in spite of this deplorable con-
dition, the carpenters and very likely
others of the building trades are
working in some localities only FIVE
days week. These short hours of
work aggravate the high price stu
alton, and makes it difficult or i'm
POSSIBLE to build homes at reasonable
costs.
The country cannot get back to
normal conditions until it can secure
a normal production. Heretofore it
has taken a 10 hour day to provide
the necessaries of life. Now the
eight hour day is rather general,
with Saturday afternoon off in many
cases.
1t was perhaps inevitable that
when this reduction in hours of labor
began, production should show a
sharp decline. Hence there resulted
a scarcity of all commodities. which
was inevitably followed, under the
law of supply and demand, by very
high prices. The workingman has
obtained easier hours, but he is pay
ing high price for them in the
tremendous addition to his living
costs.
The shorter work day is so bene-
fetal to the worker, that it ought
not be necessary to return to the ten
hour system. 1t should be possible
to produce an adequate output on
an eight hour basis. But it will be
impossible to do it, unless everyone
works hard, and co-operates to his
utmost with the effort to stimulate
production. And a five day week,
until the people learn how to do as
much in five days as they used to in
six, would be followed by still more
pronounced failure of production,
iand further advance in prices.
