URGES BUYING
 FOREST LANDS
Forest Reservation Commission Plans to Relieve Shortage
 of Timber.
SPRUCE SUPPLY EXHAUSTED
Millions of Acres of Land Unsuited for Agriculture Could Be Used for Growing Timber-More Money
 Is Needed.

Washington.-Further purchases by the government of forest lands in the southern Appalachian and White mountains, to relieve the present shortage of timber in those regions, are advocated by the national forest reservation commission in a report just issued, entitled Progress of Pur- chase of Eastern National Forests" This commission is the body author ized to pass on timber land purchases made under the Weeks law, and is composed of the secretaries of agricul- ture, interior and war, and four mem- bers of the congress.
 "The supply of spruce in the eastern United States available for paper stock is nearly exhausted" the publication states. Eastern building material is no longer adequate fully to meet in dustrial demands, the future supply of hardwoOds is threatened and will not be sufficient unless prompt measures are taken for maintaining the produc- tivity of the hardwood forests"
 The situation can be helped materi- ally, says the report. by arranging that lands not suitable for agriculture-of which there are 300OO.0O0 acres in the

eastern mountams-sna1i De useu for growing timber Of this 30,0OO,OO0 acres approximately 1900 acres have been purchased by the govern ment under the provisions of the Weeks law, which authorizes the ac- quisition of lands on the head waters of navigabe streams for inclusion within national forests.
 Additional Appropriation Needed.
 Appropriations totaling 100000 have already been made under the Weeks law. and the expenditure of all but about $300,000 of the amount avail able for. purchasing lands has been authorized by the commission. Twen- ty-one purchase areas, with total area of approximately 100000 acres, have been designated in nine states in the important hardwood and spruce re- gions of the Appalachian and White mountains. In r of these, purchases have been made. Since the purchase program was developed other states. including Kentucky, have enacted leg islation authorizing the acquisition of lands for national forest purposes. To carry out the purchase program as outlined by the commission an appro- priation of $2.0OO,0OO per year for a period of five years, beginning with the fiscal year 1921, has been recom- mended by the commission.
 The average price of the 1,S41 ,934 acres whose acquisition has been au- thorized by the commission Is $5.26 per acre.
 All of the lands bought are capable of producing valuable crops of timber. During the fiscal year 1919 receipts for timber sold from the area then acquired-1, 1,347,86O acres-amounted to $71,942 under the conservative method of cutting practiced by the gov ernment. The timber that was sold was very largely salvage and 1t is ex- pected that the returns from timber sales will steadily increase.
 Benefit to Navigabe Steamers.
 In addition to the financial return, the establishment of national forests results in decided benefit to naviga- ble streams through the modifying in- fiuence of the forest cover on erosion, according to the report. It states that the newly created forests are being widely used for recreation by residents of the nearby cities and that they are meeting other important economic needs. Watersheds which supply do- nestle water to IT municipalities are owned in whole or in part by the gov ernment. In addition, 29 municlpali- ties secure their water supply from lands which have not yet been ac- quired, but which are located within the forests. Government control as- sures the sanitation of such water sheds without interfering with the use of the land for timber-producing pur- poses.

ONE DRINK JAlLS BRIDEGROOM
Brooklyn Judge Lets Hlm Go to Try to Square Things With His
 Wife-to-Be.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Togged out in his wedding finery, namely, perfectly correct afternoon outfit, Alexander Kioskowsky, aged forty, woke up in cell.
 His recollections of what happened were vague. He remembered he had started from his boarding house to make his first venture in married life. His wife-to-be was waiting for him. His disposition to be prompt at the al- tar was fixed in his mind, but a temp ter whispered to him that one little glass of half of per cent beer would not hurt him. The barman whispered "try whisky" as if he was doing him favor, and he did. That was the last recollection he had until the cell GUS todian woke him up and told him to get ready to go to court
 The facts in the case were duly presented to Magistrate Mcclure by Patrolman McGovem, who had picked the expectant bridegroom out of the gutter.
 If you promise me that you will not take another drink until you are safe ly married I'll let you go," said the magistrate.
 Kioskowsky promised, with marked fervor, and then started out to square things with the woman who may or may not consent to be Mrs. Kios- kOwsky.

End of War Found Government with Considerable Surplus Material

k Washington-As the Germans re- treated their last effort was always di- rected at the destruction of the bridges behind them. The United States army engineers were prepared for this and were supplied with what Is known as 'fabricated material''- steel girders and trusseS all drilled at the factory and ready to be set up across the Aisne or the Marne. or whatever river 1t happened to be. so that Tank could cross and again close with his foes.
 The end of the war came too soon to make it necessary to use all this public roads. United States depart ment of agriculture, has it's engineers on the problem of adapting the sur plus for use in the forest reserves and national parks.
 Fabricated material" means that the parts are ready drilled for con- nection This steelwork is, in short, easily handled sections-nO part weighs over 2,S56 pounds-and it prob ably will lend itself as easily to the uses of the summer vacationist as to the hobnailed tramp of an armed in- fantryman moving at double-quick.
 Besides 16S spans of drilled ma. terial, there is at Camp Humphreys, Va. about 900 tons of unfabricated stuff. This will be examined by ex- perts and much of it will be used in the national forests. A rough esti- mate places the. value of this sur plus material at about $30OO00.
