HOW MANY TREES A DAY?

The paper you are reading was once a tree.
This newspaper is printed on what is commonly
called neWsprint and it is made from pulpWood.
The annual consumption is two million tons OF
newsprint year, according td the American
Forestry Association and that means strip OF
paper as wide as the regulation newspaper ana
about forty million miles long; half the distance
to the sun, which is ninety-two million miles
away The annual consumption would make a
two-foot wide ribbon of newspaper around the
world 1900 times. Some trees
More than one-thrd of our pupWood comes
from across the Canadian border, and Canada,
profting by our mistakes, is now taking steps
to forbid the cutting of timber at a rate more
rapid than its growth That means primarily
that our annual importation of Canadian pulp
wood has practically reached the maximum, and
for the other two-thirds at least we will have
to look after ourselves.
Paper Week" will be the week beginning Oct
ober 81, with Thursday, November 3, as the date
itself The National Paper Trade Association has
announced October 81 as the date of the meet
ing of the merchants and distributors while the
balance of the week viii be devoted to meetings
of the affiliated association, most OF which, ike
that of the National Paper Trade Association,
and the American Paper and Pulp Association,
will be held in Chicago.
Few of us care much about the other fellows
business, but it so happens this phase of the
forest products is one that touches our whole
economic life for, without forest products, bust
ness cannot go on. We sight our end of it to show
the tremendous consumption of trees going on
every day, to say nothing of loss by fires that
sweep the forest areas. The American Forestry
Association is campaigning for forest policy leg
islaton. Every publisher in the country should
be behind this campaign.

'ex-president is a model for the daily
life in the American home. The ex-
president reads some, takes an active
interest in the affairs of the world
and gathers the members of his
family closely around him. He says
grace at meals. He daily reads a
few verses from the scripture.
If we had more graces before
meals, more prayer in the home, the
reading of the Psalms or a selection
from some other portions of the scrip
ture, or the reading Of a prayer book
daily, we might get little better grip
on ourselves, but, alack and alas, we
fear there are some men in this
country who, when informed that Mr..
Wilson says grace and reads chap
ter out of the Bible, will abandon this
habit.-From the Commercial-Appeal.

TO THE PARENTS OF BOYS

Not long ago unskilled labor received high
wages, while many educated and trained men
were poorly paid 1t is possible that the BOYS of
Columbus became impressed with this, and that
they reached the conclusion that it was better
to go to work than to go to school, But the CON
dition was abnormal and could not last Now
we're getting back to normal and in the future
more than at any time in the past the abilities
born of education and training will be in demand
and command high price. With trained mind
a man can multiply the usefulness and earning
power of his hands many fold. Civilization is
built upon this fact. Education brings real
blessings, makes friendship valuable by teaching
US how to serve and be useful and gives to life
its deepest satisfactons. For these purposes
education is Indispensable Give your boys
your children--the best education you possibly
can. If you should reach financial limit, in
spire your boy to earn his way Be satisfied with
nothing less for your children than a complete
education.

THE POWER OF WILL

Wishes without viii are a waste Of wit.
Good wishing gets us nowhere without the viii
to force the wishes into action
Wishing never built a home turned a wilder
ness into a farm or raised a soul above brute
level. But the viii behind the wish has done all
this and is doing it today.
Wishes are akin TO dreams. until we back
them up with the viii that turns them into deeds.
Wishing for liberty, equal rights and oppor-
tunities got them nowhere until their wills moved
the Pilgrim fathers to risk the ocean. the will
derness and the sayages.
Wishing for good government to enforce our
equal rights never gets it until we have the viii
70 vote for it.
Wishing for happiness never gets 10 without
the VIII 70 do the things that create happiness.
Use your VIII power The more you use it. the
stronger II becomes Obstacles disappear in the
presence Of viii power even as frost yanishes
when the sun rises.

LETTING OFF STEAM

The British railroads. which, like our own, have
recently returned to their owners with long
pent-up public crouch inherited from govern
ment control, recently invited the public to let
off steam and get said crouch off their chest. For
this purpose they have printed some long forms
neatly tabulated for multitude of grievances
which they have promised shall receive respect
full attention. Now any one who knows the
British weakness for writing to the papers" and
otherwise voicng complaints with prolific YER
bosity will appreciate what popular safety valve
this innovation will prove Rumor hath it that
forms pour in by thousands in every mail voic-
ing every kind Of complaint from the ladies' in
vasion of smoking carriages, the inferior quality
Of tea and lunch baskets, windows that won't
open, guards that are saucy, tipping, clear
through to profteerng facts and poor train SER
vice
Nobody really expects that their complaints
will have the slightest effect but they all feel
better when they have got them off their chests.
The companies are in receipt of a wealth of sar-
casm and facetiousness, plaintive poems, mourn
full parallels caustic questions and profound es-
says, to say nothing Of heartfelt pleas, stern
threats and solemn admonitions In the mean
time they viii continue to operate very much as
before, while the public viii feel so UNNECESSARILY
relieved that the service will seem better

BONUS STRUCK
OUT BY SENATE
Attempt to Include Yard and
Arsenal Workers Sets
Back Whole Bill.

In an effort TO extend the s240
bonus 10 employees of navy yards and
arsenals, the bonus for other Cow
eminent employees was further inn
periled Yesterday afternoon when
the Senate. struck IL from the appro-
priaticn bill on a point OF order
raised by Senator Curtis, OF Kansas,
on the ground that it was general
legislation on an appropriation bill.
LIVELY wRANGLiNG.
Such action was accompanied by
lively wrangling, which disclosed a
sentiment strongly in favor of re-
cIassincation through which a per-
manent adjustment OF salaries would
be made and thus avoid the clubbing
which yearly has characterized tho
enactment OF bonus legislation.
Although the bonus has undergone
a cross-fre in both the House and
senate, the highest hope Is entertain
ed today that II will be successfully
restored. Senator Lodge entered
motion TO suspend the rules. II 10
believed the Senate Will muster the
required two-thirds vote TO take such
action and put the bonus provision
back into the bill this week.
The amendment to INCLUDE Navy
Yard and Arsenal employees In the
bonus privilege was offered -by Sena-
tor Walsh on behalf of Senator Call
der, who was absent. The vote OF the
Senate adopting the Walsh amend
ment was 2S to 10, with several
Senators present, but not voting. 10
complete a quorum OF the senate.
Following an announcement OF this
vote, Senator Curtis made his point
OF order. which was sustained by
Senator Gooding. of Idaho, who was
in the chair.
INJUSTICE CLAIMED.
The Walsh amendment declared il
would be an injustice to grant the
bonus to some Government employees
and exclude others. such as the navy
yard and arsenal workers.
Senators Warren, Smoot. and Cur
tbs protested, insisting that allowing
the bonus to the latter groups OF en-
ployes would, in effect, give them .
double bonus.
The pay of navy yard and arsenal
employees is set from time to time by
wage boards which, ii is understood.
give due consideration to the bonus
privilege allowed other employees in
arriving at their scales. In fact, at
the last meeting of the naval wage
board several months ago, 1t was an
nounced the bonus was used as tho
basis for fixing the new rates of pay.
STEWARDS COMMENT.
at is because there exists no Gov
eminent employment policy worthy or
the name, and no machinery for wage
adjustment, that over 100000 employees
of the United States Government may
be thus subjected to a sudden de-
crease of $50 a month in their already
inadequate pay" President Luther c.
Steward, of the National Federation
of Federal Employees. declared today
in commenting on the action in the
Senate yesterday afternoon.
THE fortunate thing about tho
situation is that the Senate leaders
on both sides of the chamber are be-
ginning to be acutely conscious of the
need for a settled employment policy.
and for a reclassification Of salaries
to take the place of the inequalities
and uncertainties which exist under
the present condition with the bonus.
Not once, but many times, was tnls
asserted on the floor yesterday.
