Of the most serious menaces to timber lands
ever known. Our men have carefully
surveyed over 100000 acres of pine tim
her lands in the state and everywhere
they found any currant or gOoseberry
bushes infected, they Immediately pulled
them up. We are sorry that the owners
have been compelled to lose their berries
and currants but, of course, every sensi-
BILE person knows that such procedure is
the best for all concerned. We still have
4 100000 acres of pine territory to cover
and we are investigating these areas as

The appeal cites long list of charges against the Soviet

organized labor including socialist and syndcast bodies in
other European countries.

and in the nation large 1t is the first time any such
record has been compiled and it probable that the
counting begun early in the campaign limited the ex

The largest expenditures those of the national

spent 539729 for the of the republican ticket and
the democrats having spent 31824 for democratic cand

spent by the national democratic committee and the greatest
item in the lot the spent to buy the nomination
for General Wood than half of the spent by
