due directly to the prodigal methods
used in American forests and paper
mills.
1t is waste that has made it neces-
tsary to plan programs of reforesta-
ton. There has been inexcusable
waste in the cutting of trees and in
the preparation of those trees for
lumber and pulp, and in the handling
of the material delivered TO the paper
mills. Vast quantities OF wood that
might have been used for paper have
been burned as refuse or allowed 10
rot in the woods. There has been no
proper utilization of the timber cut.
and There has been wanton destruc-
ton through fires and careless clear
ing, of young trees that ought to have
been left intact to supply the future
forests.
Is this waste still going on? Are
the lumbermen and the paper ma;i
still engaged in the same thriftless
practice? Will cur future. forests be
wasted likewise The public has a
right to know, before it is asked to
support any big and expensive plans
for reforestation.

CEMENT MAKING
| WAS DESCRIBED
|Hah Tension CLUB and Guests Enjoy
ed Lecture and Pictures on This
Product Last Eve
ming.
HISTORY OF INDUSTRY
Il Was Known to Romans and Was
Used in America in Erie Canal
construction--Other Pro
gram Features.

The history of the cement industry
was given before the High Tension
club and their guests by Richard e.
Richart. of the Atlas Portland plant
At Hannibal, last night. Mr.. Richart
lectured on cement, telling OF the
earliest forms, describing the first
usage in America, and then giving
the chemistry OF the product. Follow
ing his lecture there were motion
pictures Of the cement plants.
The old Romans knew about ce.
ment and used it in their buildings.
The modern application OF 1t as a
building material came in 1856 with
the building of the Eddystone light
house. In 1910 it began to be used
in America, in the building OF the
Erie canal. and in 1850 it was used
in the Lehigh canal. The first works
were esta blished in 1866, In Penn
sylvania.
In giving the chemistry Of cement,
Mr.. Richart spoke of the three kinds.
There is the first kind from natural
rock burned, second from lime and
Stag, and third from lime, clay and
.;hale. The second kind was that
known to the Romans. and the third
is the Portland cement as it is to-
day.
The lecturer described the Atlas
mills in detail and presented some
pictures of them.
Another interesting film was the
eye action film This showed the
way the eye functions.
The finest film of all was the one
showing the operation over noun
lains of the electric trains of the
Milwaukee railway. These pictures
were taken from the front end OF the
engine ~
The meeting last night was an
open one and the club had invited a
number OF guests for the evening.

HISTORIC SPOT
ON THE MARKET
Grendon Underwood Estate of Buck
inghamshire, Associated With
Shakespeare and His
Works, to Be Sold.

Among the numerous landed prop
critics which are coming into the
market during the next few months
is one Of more than ordinary interest,
namely, the Grendon Underwood es-
tate, Buckinghamshire. This, says
the London Telegraph, belongs to
Mrs. Pigott, member OF family
resident in the district for centuries,
who has decided to sell. The village
has many historical and literary as.
sociations, which chiefly center round
its westerly portion, where stands
the old Elizabethan habitation now
known as Shakespeare farm,
Ifwas here, when the house was a
wayside hosiery, then named the Old
Shippe, that Shakespeare, 1t is az
firmed, used to stay when journeying
to and from Stratford-on-Avpn. The
original portion of the building Is
now disused, but the room which,
according to tradition, was occupied
by the poet, remains safely pre-
served, feature of it being the old
elliptical fireplace. Aubrey declares
that Shakespeare picked up great
deal of the humor in his Much Ado
About Nothing" during the occasions
when he passed through Grendon.
This authority states that Shakes
peare, having fallen asleep in the
porch of the ancient church, was dis
covered by two constables, who sub
jected him to rough usage, which ex-
perience he afterward immortahzed
by the characters Dogberry and
Verges in Much Ado About Moth
ing
Also it is believed that the inspira-
ton which found its expression in a
Midsummer Nights Dream came to
the poet while seated at the fringe
Of Grendon Underwood. which is one
OF the most beautiful spots in Buck
inghomshire.

No doubt but you will be surprised

trip to North Africa We arrived in
Havana, late last night and wanted to
write you then, but there was 50

that i just did not have time until
now.
We had very nice trip down here
The weather was fine and the sea
very calm. We stopped in Charles
ton, S. c., long enough to coal ship,
and was surely glad our stay there
was short as you remember how
hate Charleston. Yesterday we pass
ed Palm BEACH, and things certainly
looked very beautiful there. Some
day if I ever decide to quit the old
sea life, think l shall spend q winter
at Palm Beach Havana, is surely a
fine looking place, and l believe
am going to like the people very
much The weather is warm and
makes me think of old North Caro-
lima in the summer time. The grass
and trees are green. and l must say
that the majority of the people I've
met here are pretty green also. But
Of course they are not all like that
When we left New York it was some
what cold. About five feet of snow
and vet showing. All the streets were
blocked. no trolley cars were running.
The automobiles were. also blocked.
This is some change, isn't it?

more war; And mother, believe the

War is hell. But it takes a man to
fight and the struggle is not over yet.

again.
But don't want to make you sad.
so I'll tell Won something else. We
will be here tow or three weeks then

where my next trip will BE to, but
