No Lumber Exports from Australia

With the best success, little can be
expected i'll less than five years by the
Australian government in its work of
reconstructing the lumber industry of
that country, reports the United States
trade commission in Vienna. The po-
territorial production of lumber of pres
ent Austria is estimated from l4l,-
100000 cubic feet to lT6,550000 cubic
feet annually. To realize this amount
the entire industry must be construct.
ed from the beginning; railways must
be built, cable railways erected trucks
purchased, sawmills secured and in
stalled, camps fitted up and roads laid.
The Austrian government is planning
to push through the work in spite of
all difficulties. Prior to 1914, the pro.
duction and export of softwood consti.
tuted one of the leading Austrian in
dustries and importation was neces-
sary only in the case of rare woods
for special purposes and hardwoods
from America for furniture. Lumber
exports from Austria are to-day prac.
tically at standstill.

"Robbing /RObber, or the Profteer
Gets His"

Ours is a tiny mountain village,
II is many miles from anywhere.
Primitive place-one grocery store.
The grocer has been a good man.
Church member and all that.
But he got the profiteering craze.
He skied the prices on everything.
Butter, 81; ham 81; eggs. $3.50.
Everyone felt it and grumbled.
| But we had nowhere else to buy.
If we objected TO prices, we'd get;
Hard times-things cost more
And my times worth something,
At last we called a meeting.
All the leading citizens attended,

Ny boy Dick had him in tow.

Next night he had some callers.
They were all masked.
They took him 10 a deserted cabin.
II was away out IN the mesa.
There wasn't a house within miles.
As | said, we're primitive people
Hull was kept there a week.
A masked man fed him-Sl0 a meal.
Hull went on hunger strike.
But the third day he weakened.
The smell Of frying bacon did it.
He signed the blank check.
II was for S9O-three days board
Then he ate rayenously.
He wanted eggs for breakfast
The guard said 81 per egg"
Butter cost Hull So a pound
He squealed, You're robbing met
"Robbing robber." said the guard
"Do without butter, as ! do.
Ever heard Of the golden rule
And nv times worth something
Hull wanted a steak. Got IL $3.50.
A few prunes assessed him 81.
Two rolls set him back ST.
Six bits bought a cup of coffee
After a week he was released.
He was poorer in purse.
But he was richer in heart
He promised no more profiteering
The promise was kept.
His prices are reasonable now.

JACK PINE USEFUL
Timber Once Despised Found to Be
Adapted to Making Wall Board

The announcement that manuiactur
crs have found a use for the despisec
jack pine as source of pulp for max
| ing wall board continues an old story
into new chapter.
There was time when Michigan
forests were counted valuable mainly
for their white pine with Norway a
much less esteemed second choice
Michigan white pine was the best in
the world and so common that anybody
might have all he wanted of the finest
and clearest lumber. Then the quality
began 10 run down a little, as the best
trees fell, and finally there was no
more white pine Norway followed and
hemlock, which had been considered
worthless. came into the market In
early DAYS also there was no end of
walnut for interior work and 2 good
deal of il was used as rough lumber
At the same time what was then called
white wood but is more commonly
known now a. yellow poplar. was
common building msterial cut in Mich
igan forests and built into Michigan
homes But the walnut grew scarce
and the beautiful tree from which the
white wood came was even scarcer.
About that time builders began 70 use
white pine where the better woods had
been used. and so another descending
scale OF lumber quality began TO be
run.
But nobody thought that anything
would ever be done with jack pine eN
cept 10 revile II a. worthless. Is it
doomed also. and has the old experience
in destructive explorations taught
Michigan nothing about forestry Its
salvation thus far has been the gen
eral belief that il Is good for nothing.
but even II il proves 20 have only a
very moderate degree Of usefulness il
will claim an outstanding virtue in the
fact that il grows on the worst land
in the state II the worst tree can still
make the worst land good for some
hing. surely IL deserves careful con
iderstion.-Detroit Free Press.

PREPARE FOR
SHOCK OF STRIKE
United Kingdom Is Putting
Emergency Measures
Al Into Operation
QUIET CONFIDENCE
ON PART OF PEOPLE
Miners Are Scheduled to
Walk Out Tonight in All
Parts of the Country

London, Or+. l6.--Final preparations
for the expected strike of one million
British coal miners tonight we're be
ing made to-day throughout the United
Kingdom. Emergency measures, rec
commended by the government, were be
ing perfected by local authorities and
there seemed to be a disposition on
the part of the government, the min.
ers' federation and the people general
ly, to carry on long stern battle to
settle definitely the issue upon which
the miners have decided to walk out.
While there was an air of quiet con
fdence on the part of the people, there
were apprehensions that the strike
might bring about a critical situation
in British industry generally. Large
stocks of coal have been accumulated
and private customers have laid in
supplies, but the public has been in
formed that rigid economy will be
necessary. Many large industrial con-
Germs have considered at least partial
shut downs and this movement ~may
develop into one of the most serious
phases of the strike.
Members of the National Union of
Failwaymen and the transport work
ers' union will hold separate meetings
on Monday TO determine their atti-
tlde toward the strike Both approved
the demands of the miners last month,
and it is feared they may decide to
join the strike.
Government plans for the distribu-
ton of food, which were perfected dur
ing the railroad strike last year, have
been extended and a comprehensive
system of transport has been worked
out for the entire country.
Parliament will convene on Tues
day, and hope is still entertained that
this event may tend to bring solu
ton of the trouble Neither the gov
eminent nor the miners federation has
closed the door on further negotiations
and it is expected efforts to reach an
agreement will continue even though
the miners actually walk out Ar
rangements have been made for suf-
ficient number of miners to remain at
their posts to prevent the mines from !
being flooded and keep properties in !

work should settlement be reached |

trains the blood vessels to respond
quickly to changes in temperature.
People who take cold baths regularly
are likely TO be harder and much less
subject to colds than others. II should
be remembered, however, that some
people do not bear cold baths well.
In the matter of bathing, as in that
of clothing, we must remember that
the body should be stimulated by cold,
but not chilled too much. 4 cold bath
should be followed by reaction. the
blood vessels of the skin enlarging
again and the skin becoming warm and
glowing Brisk rubbing with a rough
towel helps to secure this reaction. If
no reaction follows. the bath is too
cold or too prolonged or the physical
condition IS such that cold baths are
inadvisable.
