The Harding Mystery
WHAT is IT?

Wooster, Ohio, Oct. i30.-Ihe res
ignation of Prof. William Esterbrook
Chancellor as member of the facul-
ty of the College Of Wooster was re.
uucsted by the board of trustees here
last night on account of "exigencies
due to the publication of letters as to
Senator Harding, attributed to Prof.
Chancellor"
The action of the board, in the
form of a resolution, followed hear
ing, during which Prof. Chancellor
answered questions touching the au-
thorship of the letters which were
alleged to have been inimical to the
senator's candidacy.
The resolution calling for Prof.
Chancellor's resignation follows:
at having come to the knowledge
of the board that circular letters are
being scattered broadcast through
out the country with reference to
Senator Harding, Republican nominee
for the Presidency, which letters are
attributed to Prof. William E. Chan
cellor, a part Of which he admits to
have been written by him;
"And whereas such circular letters
issued on the eve of the election are
for the manifest purpose of appeal
ing to prejudice, and to influence the
electorate Of the country at the COM
ing election;
"Thcreforc, be it resolved. That
we, the board of trustees of the Col
leec of Wooster, repudiate and de-
nouncc such politica! methods as ut
terly unworthy of our college end
country.
".And be it further resolved by the
board, That the College of Wooster
indignantly disclaims all connection
with, knowledge of or authority for
the making and issuing Of any snch
circular letters"
After conference with commit
tee Including DR.. John Timothy
Stone, president Of the board, Praf.,
Chancellor stated that, while con-
scious of the embarrassment occa-
Stoned to the college,, he felt in his
breast that he had done nothing
wrong or improper and thot he will
continue to have the XII 'Ilest feel
ines toward the college and the
board
1t : significant that The fore going

rharceflor do not dsny the truth of
his statements, wlfatcvcr they are,

PIE a't this mcment rs what are the
charges ard are they true. There is
rc place for mystery IN the history
or record cf ary man who aspires TO

Neither party whether for or

conceal from the American electo-
rate. any thing that may affect the
of the candidate or the

There have been many hints in the.

is being used
We repeat that the important
query of the American public is:
whether this mysterious thing is
true and if so what is it

Fire Control
We think that the usual annual
grass fires is the greatest enemy to
the rapid reproduction in pine trees.
The cut-over areas are even more
apt to burn over than timbered lands.
The Forestry Division of the Conser-
walton Department of our state gov
eminent has, during the past three
or four years, accomplished a great
deal of good in the state, including
this section, through it's patrolmen,
who have created no small interest
Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1920-12-02

throughout the region, on the part
of resident farmers in trying to con-
troll and prevent the woods grass
fires. Awaiting ourselves of the
growing sentiment thus created, we
have carried on a publicity campaign
through the local papers, and lee
lures in the public schools, and ex-
hibits at the county fairs, all in an
endeavor to teach the evil and dam
agin0 effects to the country, gen.
orally, caused by indiscriminate
woods fires. We have many reasons
to feel encouraged at the growing
sentiment. We can never hope to be
thoroughly successful in controlling
and preventing fires on our own
lands lands until the citizens and
residents of the country generally
have about the same views on the
subject held by ourselves. IL we are
right, there should be no good rea-
son why they should not become
equally interested. In the main, this
propaganda of fires control is edu.
cational. Then there are the hogs,
which come in for no small consid-
Grafton.
Our policy, therefore, in these
matters is to cooperate with and
back up the work Of the conserva-
ton forces of the state and nation.
We will not win in a day, nor a year,
but most surely we viii win, and
when we do win, everybody else will
win along with US.
Pine For Pulp and Paper
Locally speaking, the Great South
ern has rather unique plans for the
future of Bogalusa, and the manu-
facture of forestry products here.
Already the waste Of logging has GER
tainly been reduced to the minimum
by the use of the mill waste and
tree tops behind the cutting in the
of pulp and container
liners. Not only do they use all the
waste from the mill, but some pur-
of pulp wood are made from
farmers to show the value of tree
growing for pulp. Even among the
land-oWning farmer class contiguous
to the N. o. G. n. railroad, less than
Is per cent of their land is cultivated
in ordinary farm crops. 1t is doubt
full if a larger percentage is best
to agriculture. They are,
therefore, being shown that the poor
rugged and waste acres can be prof
itably used in growing fast loblolly |
pine trees for pulp. This company |
has visions of additional paper mills |
sufficient in size and number to /
make a ready market for all the |
wood for sale in easy shipping dis
lance of Bogalusa.
Hence, the appeal to all the farm |
ers to make tree-growing a part of |
agriculture in all this tree-growing
section. We certainly do not en-
courage and emphasize farming and |
he production of food crops any less,
put the production of tree crops
more. Agricultural lands should GER
,anly be utilized in the production Of
food and feed.

Liberty Loan Syndicate
Closes Its Business
Organization Handling Partial
Payment Bond Books Sells
Sl45.OOO.O 600

Announcement was made yesterday
of the winding up of the affairs Of the
Victory Liberty Loan Association
syndicate. During the campaigns for
the third and fourth loans and for the
Victory Loan the Liberty Loan asso-
Citations were organized for the con-
venience Of the public and of the
banks and trust companies in New
York City in order to facilitate
handling large volumes of subscrip-
tions to $50 and $100 bonds on the par
tial payment plan. In these three
loans nearly 100000 separate coupon
book accounts with the public were
carried by the associations and the
individual payments ran over 900o0,-
900 in number. Approximately s145.-
100000 par value of bonds were sold
in this manner.
According to j. H. Case. acting gov
ernor Of the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York, approximately 90 per cent
Of the bonds sold to subscribers under
this plan were fully paid for and re-
ceived by them. The balance of the
accounts are now in liquidation and
bonds are still being delivered against
full paid accounts
