GAY AND POPULAR RESORT
Biarritz, in Southern France, Noted

One of the gayest and most popu-

the Spanish border. It's nearness 70
Spain has colored its language and ar
chitecture somewhat, giving it the pic
turesqueness of both countries. 1t is
q beautiful place, with its cream-col-
ored, red-roofed villas, dark pine trees,
winding walks and crescent of white
sandy beach guarded at either end by
high. rocky bluffs, rising abruptly from
the sea-. Before the war it was the
seem of frivolity and fashion, rival
ing Monte Carlo in its gambling, dane
ing and display. 1t was a favorite
resort with one of England's more
playful kings in his lighter moments.
Indeed, its main street is called Rue
EdOuard VII in honor of him.
The war brought q sudden change
of mood TO Biarritz. It's gambling ca
sinos and hotels were turned into hos
pitfalls for wounded French, and later
American soldiers. Grim conveys of
w%arshipS passed close to its shores on
their way through the Bay of Biscay.
Numerous ships were torpedoed in
sight of the shore by the German sub
marines lurking along the Spanish
coast. The coast was heavily mined.
and from time to time the C%etonation
of q mine would shake the town.

An understanding of the elementary

nble the farmer to market his timber
far more profitably than it is done on
the average farm. In the Southern
states, and in many other sections of
the country as well. high-grade logs
Of such trees as white oak, yellow pop
lar. red gum, ash, cherry, and black
walnut can usually be sold in carload
lots direct to manufacturing plants,
even though these are located at some
distance. Many local log-using plants
buy in lots as small as Il wagon or
truck load. In the South clear logs
Of white oak and yellow poplar g
inches and up II diameter are most
prOfitably sold to sawmill plants es-
pecially equipped for quartering and
%veneering woods. High prices at load
ing points make it wasteful to put
such logs to ordinary use at home,
Paper Pulp Wood.
Large quantities of pine are cut and
sold by southern farmers for paper
pulp wood. Yellow poplar and cot

I'm less amounts are used for the same
purpose, according to forestry special
lists. The wood must be pealed and
is usually marketed In 4-foot lengths
and 8 to 10 inches In diameter. Pulp
wood is sold by the cord, and the
prices usually range from about 81 to
So for pine INT from 50 to 50 for
poplar. cottonwood. etc.
Farm Timber Product.
Railroad ties have long been q
standard farm timber product. AS a
rule, however, the price represents
only fair wage for cutting, hewing,
and hauling, with little return for the
timber itself. For example. n tie z
inches by s inches by 81 feet long. if
sold at 80 cents, when the items in the
cost of manufacture are taken into
account, would have q value equiva-
lent to the same amount OF lumber
valued at S16.50 a thousand board
feet. This is a low figure for white
oak. 1t is often a mistake to cut a
young tree for one small tie when
in a short time the tree could produce
two ties.

VolubiIity Not Wanted.

When you find people who can say
volumes about nothing you can usual
ly put it down they are short some
where. A man with ideas that count
seldom wears IN his vocabulary try
ing TO advertise the idea. He lets the
ideas sta1d son their own feet. The
fact is he doesn't need to do so much
for a thing that can stand alone. And
what's more, ideas have a way of
being able to deliver pretty strong ar
gument. When they are founded on
truth there is no way of getting back
of them. The fact that others refuse
TO accept them does not discount them.
They stand on their own merits to.

tory reveals the fact that her biggest
men were men of small speech.
