The Decreased Lumber OUTPUT.

a :CORDING to the latest report of the
~ Federal forestry bureau less lumber
was produced in the United States in
1913 than for some fifteen years past The
total output for the twelvemonth was about
ten per cent under that of 1917, itself low
record period. Almost the entire country
shared in the curtailment, only three States
showing even slight Observation-Disclosures
oregon and Idaho. In the Southern pine re-
gion there was pronounced falling off:
per cent in Louisiana, twenty-five per
cent in Mississippi, seventeen per cent in Ar
kansas, twenty-five per cent in Texas, eighteen
per cent in Alabama, twenty-three per cent in
Florida and in Georgia thirty per cent. The
output of this State, it is interesting to note,
declined from one billion board feet in 1915,
to five hundred and fifteen million in 1918.
Touching the causes of this marked and
countrywide decrease, the Manufacturers
Record finds that while the wartime reasons
are now considered history, some of Them
such as increasing prices, freight embargoes,
car shortages, lack of labor and restricted
credits, still prevail. The longer these or 9TH
er conditions continue to impede construction
the more difficult will the building problem
become. Slight progress has been made in
filling the great gap which war restrictions
cut in the normal output Of houses. The coun-
try needs several million new dwellings, not
to speak of mercantile and manufacturing
plants and public improvements. The longer
these wants accumulate, the heavier will be
the burden of supplying them.

THINGS WE NEED
BY H. Addington Bruce
~ HERE are great many things we need
i'll these troubled timeS-and need

by H. AuulllStOll DluCC
tn HERE are a great many things we need
i'll these troubled times-and we need
them exceedingly.
We need leader; who will talk less and
effect more. We need followers who will
think, not merely cheer.
We need workers willing to work, ana we
need workers fit to work. Wherefore we need
fit food, fit homes fit clothing for workers.
Mouths agape, We marvel at labor unrest
and clamor. Wonderingly we ask ourselves
whence this discomfort springs.
The bursting warehouses of the profiteerS,
the Slum homes of multtudeS of the producers,
furnish at least in part the answer.
Also they suggest that one of our greatest
needs is keener human sympathy.
We pirate of charity. We plume our
selves on our generosity. Yet all the while
we permit and women and little children
to live and die by the thousands in tenement
ant hills.
Absorbed in our private affaifs, we give the
unfortunate scarce passing thought unless
they burst forth in "SociaStic agitation" For
our own Sakes as we'll as theirs we need to
beStr ourselves in their interest
We need to realize that they can hope and
despair, love and hate, rejoice and suffer as
keenly as we. We need to recognize, in fine,
that We are more truly human beings than
they are despite their rags and CRIME and
Squalor.
is not only inhuman to ignore their wretched-
ness, but that by so doing we may be risking
social confagration the beginnings of which
are plainly in evidence today.
We need, accordingly, to ask some pretty
sharp questions about our industrial organiza-
ton, governmental efficiency, even about
our much Wanted educational system.
Are we really educating all the children of
all the people? Is our education making for
social solidarity and personal success and hap
piness among the masses? Or is it benefiting
the comparatively few,
Educational reform is in fact, one of our
preSent-day needs. And reform must extend
to home education no less than school educa-
ton.
Too many children are being reared to be
MASTERS, not makers; SpenderS not savers.
Too many unwttingly trained to shallow,
callouS, selfish modes of thought
In too many-chidren of the well-to-do as
of the poor-the seeds of class antagonismS
and hatredS are being sown.
These are a few-a very few-of the things
we need. Unless we honestly endeavor to OBJ
tain them greater and always greater evils will
befal us, to the increasing misery of all and
the final collapse of what we call our civiliza-
ton.

er be untangled until there is more plente-
Gus supply of food.
For years and decades Americas produc-
ton of bread and meat has failed to keep
pace with her growth in population; in most
of the staple crops there has been a periodic
increase, of course, but not enough to fill the
multiplying mouths and meet waxing export
demands. 1t was inevitable that as this ten
dency continued it would be reflected in
prices and be felt by consumers, slightly at
first, but after time, intensely. The world
war accentuated conditions which even ordi-
narily would have been troublous indeed.
Four years of sadly curtailed sowing and
reaping made Europe's millions more than
ever dependent upon our harvests and be-
sides the check to farming, there were seri-
Gus descriptions of industry and commerce,
which aggravated the actual shortage of
food. 1t is not to be wondered, then that
the wars aftermath, in whose shadow we
still grope, found us with larders depleted
and in urgent need of increased food produc-
ton.
But how is an increase possible while farm
labor remains at it's present ebb? Machinery
can take the place Of many hands, and it is
noteworthy that more and more farm work
is being done by machinery. Likewise i'm
proved systems of management and cult
walton can do much, and are doing much,
to offset the dearth of labor. But when all
is done, the fact remains that without a GER
tain minimum of man power successful agri-
culture is impossible. One of the basic
needs of the day, therefore, and prime es-
sentials of peace, is to turn labor to the farm
in order that the under-supply of food sta
pies, which the prices of other needments
are largely conditioned, may be duly re-
p1enished.
At this point, however, we encounter the
fact that the general labor shortage sequent
to war is likely to continue for several years;
wherefore there must be economy of labor,
as well as of other necessaries, and height
ened effort for production if agricultural
wants are to have any relief. In the midst
of the war, projects not of an essential char
acter were put aside that the supply of labor
might be conserved for imperative tasks;
and as a result there was a prodigious in
crease in the output of those industries di-
rectly linked with war plans. The same pol
icy pursued today would be expedient and pa
triotic.
The ultimate solution of the food problem
will not be found, however, until agriculture
al interests and pursuits have mustered
loyal and capable following of sufficient num-
bers to bring production nearer the needs
of ever-increasing consumption. Those num-
bers are not to be won hastily. But they
will be won certainly by the continued i'm
provement of rural living conditions through
good roads, good schools, domestic conven-
fences and comforts, and fair farming profits
No great economic or social problem was
ever worked out except by patient degrees;
and thus only will those of today be mas
tered.

QUIPS AND QUIDDITIES

The suburban night was being made hid

lonely, and the strolling police officer paused
to speak to the citizen standing at the gate
evidently listening to the walls.

"Fierce" the citizen agreed.
"Want to make a complaint" the officer
suggested Zealously.
"Why-er-not until am sure" the citi-
zen responded.
"Sure of What?"
"Why, whether that is my dog or Browns.
If that is my dog-oh, well, we have to put
up with few little annoyances in this life,
you know; but if it is Browns, why, by
George, don't propose to have my life made
miserable by a nuisance like that"
The earl of Portarlington, who was one Of
the first to volunteer for service during the
railway strike in England, relates with great
gusto the following story: A Boy Scout on
duty at one of the London termini, feeling
the pangs of hunger about IL O'CLOCK one
morning, began a vigorous attack on sub
stantial lunch he had brought with him. A
gentleman passing by was moved to remark:
"My boy, if you eat much now you won't have
any appetite for your dinner" TO which the
smart little fellow replied: WELL guess If
haven't any appetite I shan't want any din
ner." The gentleman had no more to say.
The worst of a man who marries for love
and thinks he is perfectly happy is that he
always bores other people.
Older married men listen to him in sad
silence, Borrowing for his lack of experience;
his bachelor friends all regard him as an
unmitigated ass.
So it was with Simpson For the ump-
teenth time he was telling Jimpson how much
better the married state was.
"Take my advice, old chap" he wound up,
"and get married"

yawn cts too risky"

From this it is fairly to be inferred that

Georgia Automobtles.

NJ the Savannah : morning. News does
good service in pointing out that,
contrary to rather general impression,
Georgia has many more automobiles than
Florida-probably twice as many. Up to
April 9Th of this year, it seems, Florida
issued 81, 240 license tags for motor vehicles
of all kinds, which number was $500 beyond
the record on the same date of 1919; some
seventyfive hundred additions are expected
for the rest of the year. The amount re-
ceived for these licenses was $401,317. In
Georgia, says the Savannah Morning News
the total collections for only February and
March of this year were $1,237,964; more
than $4,000 was collected for both De-
cember and January. The number of Geor-
gia motor cars is far above the one hundred
thousand mark.
The comparison is in no wise an invidious
one. Florida has shown remarkable gains
in automobiles, as was to be expected from
her superb highways and abundant prosper
ity. Georgia's growing host of motor vehi-
cles makes more than ever imperative the
perfection of a Statewide system of good
roads. ---~---+-----~A~-- 2zaa

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK ON
At What Age Should Man Marry?
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer

That depends upon the man.
and his circumstances.
The only age at which a man
should not marry is when he is lot
man, but only a boy, with boys
emotions. There are enough risks in
matrimony without him taking any
chances on what he is going to be
himself when he grows up, and the
kind of a wife he will want when
he is man.
more apt to turn out disastrously
than those entered into by mature
people is amply proven by statistics,
which show that far the greater
number of divorces are asked for by
people who married in their salad

in disgraceful scandals with women.
are men who, nearly all. married
when they were boys.
They married when they were so
young that they had not had their
fling, they knew nothing of wome-l
and their WileS and arts, and so
when they got middle aged, and had
accumulated enough money to make
it worth while to be plucked, they
fell victims to the first siren who
made eyes at them. Moreover, the

A girl whose step matches his,
who has a curl on her forehead, and
who thinks Mary Pickford just too
and who can chatter his own lingo,
seems to a boy to have every quail
fication for making a life compan-
ion. Ten years later, when he meets
up with her, she bores him stiff and
he wonders what he ever could have
seen in her to have admired. 1t takes
an entirely different set of graces
and charms to fire his fancy then
because he has come to mans estate,
and thinks as man and not as
child.
Another objection to early mar
rage is, that a boy is selfish and
lacks self control, and IS arrogant,

Still another objection to the early
marriage is that unless boy has in

spells ruin for him. 1t shuts the
door of opportunity in his face, 1t
clogs his feet so he cannot climb.
