Stock Market Rises
And Wipes Out Losses

NEW YORK, Aug. fa.-The stock
market gave an impressive exhibition
| OF strength today. Final prices we're
1 to points higher for many in
| fluential shares The rise effaced the
greater part of the weeks early loss
| and carried many leaders well above
last Saturdays close.
Buying had it's origin in the opin-
ion that the market had been liduidat-
ed and that turn for the better had
set in. Inquiry embraced practically
icals, shippings, equipments. tobacco.
rubber, motor, textiles and high and
low priced railroad shares were pur-
chased on a steadily ascending scale.
Total sales Appropriated 100000
shares.
There was more inclination to take
account of the strength of sterling
and the plentiful supplies of call
money for speculative purposes.
Reports that the long pending mer-
ger of various chemicals corporations
would be completed and the declara-
ticn of two hundred percent stock
divided for the Standard Oil Company
OF New York were additional stimulat-
ing influences.
Bonds maintained their recent un-
even course. Foreign issues were we'll
sustained but liberty and victory lines
continued to give way. U. s. old gov

AIImstice Prospects Head.
Grain Market Downward.

CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-Grain mar
kets all headed downward today ow.
ing largely to prospect of an armistice
Wheat closed heavy, 3 Ia to 4c net
lower, with December 2.41@2.41 "
and March 2.44. Corn finished 1 3s
to rs down and oats off 1-2 to 1
is. In provisions the outcome was
an advance of 10 to 32c.
Before the outlook for an armistice
became a ruling factor. the wheat
market for a brief time showed a
tendency to rise. influenced by signs
of export business on a liberal scale.
Then came definite news that Rus
sian and Polish delegates had arrang-
ed meeting to take place at once. A
quick break in values followed and
subsequent rallies failed to last.
Rains as well as armistice talk had
a bearish effect on corn, despite re-
ports OF frost in Northern Nebraska.

FORESTRY SERVICE HANDl-
 CAPPED

Whether the forest service is cor rect in its estimates of our timber resources and it's remedy for a tim Der shortage and for lumber prices is a question asked by J. J. Under wood in the Seattle Times as quot ed by the Literary Digest MT. Un- derwood says:
 ''In this connection. it is pointed out that the forest service has been in existence nearly twenty years and has done practically nothing toward reforestation, although it has been constantly talking about that sub ject for more than decade.

 NATIONAL CHURCH

PRAGUE, Czecho-Slovakia, Nov. 3 (by Associated Press.)-The gov ernment has recognized the Czecho- Slovak national church which is dis sident from the Church of Rome and has been in existence for nearly a year. The new religion has gained a numerous following including large parishes in the suburbs of Prague. It has abolished the Roman liturgy and introduced hymnology of the Hussites Followers of John Huss, a reformer of the 18th century,. It also rejects the celibacy of the clergy and the confession and does not recognize the authority of the pope.

JUDGE CALLS YANKEE HUMAN
 SHUTTLEC0CK

LONDON, Nov. (by Associated Press s.)-Joseph Newsome, an Ameri- can subject charged at Willesden court with returing to this country after being deported to America as an undesirable was de2cribed by the magistrate as "huhan shuttle cock"
 Newsome told the magistrate that after arriving in America, he went before a board to whom he admit ted that he had well-to-do relatives in England. He said they gave him a ticket and passport for Liverpool and put him aboard ship. He told them he was an American subject and had only just been deported from England, but they told him to return to his rich relatives.
 The magistrate said it was a re- markable story and remanded him for inquiries to be made at the home office.

the creation of forest reserves, the public was told, through a great array of figures, that the last stick of lumber would be cut in the year 1918. This proved to be a fallacy.
 But, nevertheless, there is good ground |, for the belief that the na- tion is using up lumber about three times as fast as it is producing it. Within a lifetime the lumber in east to the northwest, and it cant go beyond the Pacific ocean. It is clearly the duty of congress to make very thorough investigation of the lumber supply and to try to evolve some plan that will perpetuate the industry"
 In this connection with the state- ment that the forest service has done practically nothing but talk about reforestation for more than decade the question of appropria- tions may we'll be raised, for it costs money to reforest lands and there are no returns for a generation for more species of wood.
 Congress says much about refor- estation, and rightfully, but out of a total appropriation of almost $5,- 000,000,000 for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1921, congress ap- propriated approximately one-eighth of one per cent for the forest serv- ice, or S6,295,S22,, which must cover fire patrol, fire prevention and fight ing, care of the national forest, etc, etc. The forest service can do little more than talk under these circum- stances.-Juneau Empire

TRIUMPHANT VICTORY

As has been forecast by the Daily Times the Republican landslide took place yesterday and it was more sweeping in it's scope than the most sanguine members of the G. O. P. had even dared hope for. Harding and Coolidge received the largest popular vote ever accorded presiden- tial and vice-presidential nominees. They carried practically every state, excepting the solid south, and by pluralities that were overwhelming In most instances the vote extended from the head of the ticket down to the minor offices. Both houses of congress are now solidly Republican.
 In Alaska Dan A. Sutherland had a walk-over for delegate to congress and when the complete returns are in it is believed he will be elected by majority of from 1,S00 to 2,0OO John Rustgard won out for attorney general, defeating Jerry Murphy by at least 1000. E. E. Chamberlain was elected territorial senator and the entire Republican legislative ticket won.
 It was a Republican year every where and the majorities are so de- cisive as to leave no doubt as to which party candidates were the choice of the voters

MENACE OF EPlDEMICS

The statistical bulletin of the Metropolitan Life Insurance con- pany, a concern whose interests ob- viously lie in the promotion of a dividends are in inverse ration to mortality, contains a warning against public indifference to the existing smallpox situation, particularly in Europe. It is common experience that long periods of comparative inn munity are likely to be followed by recurrence due to the apathy that immunity invites. Cases that have occurred in America in recent years, because of widely prevalent and en- frightened health measures, have been few and mild. Percentage of fatalities has been small. It has been easy to forget the terrors of the old-time plaques, in the absence of concrete but tragic reminders
 The war broke down barriers against smallpox and other virulent and contagious diseases by relaxing control by local health authorities in many places and by throwing peo- pie together in large numbers, many of them coming from countries where smallpox was uncontrolled. Lack of medical and sanitary provi sions, due to the concentration of doctors in war work ,accentuated the crisis. Marked falling off in enforced vaccination resulted in in creased prevalence of the disease, which in some instances has been transmitted to the United States and has manifested itself in severe form Smallpox, the writer in the bulletin believes, is now real menace to the health and welfare of the peo. pie of the United States and Can ada"
