THE MAYORS MESSAGE


 There is saying among people who have been employees most of their lives that as long as your boss does not jump on you with both feet. something pretty fair and haven't received praise for it. don't mind, and don't expect it.
 Mayor Curtis delivered his annual message to the Common Council last evening. It was a good message. The Mayor is the employe of the people. and probably he feels as the majority of employees quoted. feel. He has not been Jumped on to any great extent except in the matter or vote taken at the town meeting in regard to the tax rate. And that criticism. spectacu- larly and loudly voiced by posscssors Of especially loud voices and backed up by some sembiance of justice. has at least gone to sleep. So perhaps tho Mayor may congratulate himself he needn't worry as long as the coes Of the machine are as well oiled as they are at present and as they have been in the past.
 Naturally his eagerness to have the matte" of the Clayton Road Crossing attended to Is of vital interest. Trage- dy after tragedy has happened there and it seems as though. in spite of the matters which have pressed for attention. steps would~have been taken before the last fatal accident therc. There will always be horses in that barn. and it would be we'll to remcm- Der to close the door even if more have been stolen recently. Proper steps should be taken at once to make the crossing as safe as h is possible to do.
 Apropos/ the Mayors suggestion that protection from fire in the Town Home should be obtained seems to be locking the door in time. There should be no delay in attention to this mat ter. Here lies danger to many unable to protect themselves; unable to save themselves because. no matter how much due cauHon" they exercise their physical condition will not per- init of quick. alert action in time of danger. A tragedy here would be pitiable.
 Keeping the city isolation hospital as matter of insurance. if nothing more, is a wise recommendation.
 The unemploymen situation was referred to much as heretofore sug- gested in these columns. It will be some time before the city is able to give out more permanent work. and its residents should aid the municipal employment bureau to the extent of their ability. by taking a live. personal interest in notifying it of any work they would have done.
 The Mayors willingness to recognize the women in his appointments and his appreciation of the fact that their council may be needed for the good of tho service of some departments, is but just and proper recognition of the situation.
 Of sentimental interest was the Mayors advocacy of some public demonstration to celebrate the ac- coptance by the city of the Burritt Memorial. Long familiar as the people are with the statue it would be most unseemly if some evidence of ap- preciation were not made, beftting the former renowned citizen whom it commentaries.
 The other matters touched were those with which all are familiar and comments made were the obvious ones.

Forester Greeley.

Despite Fact That Many Substitutes
Have Been Devised Demand for
Timber Continues to Grow
Much Land Is Idle.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Timber depletion has now reached
point in this country where three
ffths of the primeval forests are gone
and where 81 per cent Of the timber
that is left is west OF the Great Plains,
Col. w. B. Greeley, chief forester, for
est service of the Department of Agri-
culture of the United States, recently
told tie members of the Chicago As
sociarion of Commerce.
Liberal use of American forests was
necessary part of the commercial
growth Of this nation, Colonel Greeley
believes, but reforestation should have
been practiced, if not from the start,
at least in late years. There is an
abundant area of forest land in this
country to support all industries, and
a liberal supply of wood is most nee
essary to the people of this country.
1t was thought that, like the European
countries, we would use, when our CIV
ilization was older, but one-third or
one-half as much wood per capita as
rule does not affect the American peo-
ple The older the states and COM
munities in this country grow the
more timber they seem to require in
one form or another.
Demand Continues to Grow.
Many substitutes have been devised
for wood, and yet the great demand
of the country for timber continues to
grow. More wood is used in construc-
ton today than before the discovery
of concrete, and more wood is used in
building railway cars than before the
steel or part-steel car was developed.
This is apparently true in nearly every
industry.
Abundant and widely distributed
forests have meant to the United
States homes for the masses of the
people beyond the standards of any
other nation. They have placed news
| papers and magazines on the average
! family table. They have contributed
largely to social and industrial condi-
lions which promote democracy and
constructive energy rather than dis
content and destructive social forces
bred by hard and comfortless condi-
lions of life.
The idleness of S1,000,000 acres of
forest land, an area increased by s.
100000 to 100000 acres annually,
destructive logging. and still more de-
structive forest fires are the factors at
/ work to increase the timber shortage.

THREE names, world-renowned In

It is easy to see at a glance that each
of them is made to be a practical pro-

tan color, with long semi-fitted body
and moderately full skirt portion. The
military collar, front facing and bor-

fur. The plain coat sleeves set snug

the forearm. The skirt of this coat
is open at the front, disclosing the
dress under it.

five narrow French folds forming

higher at the back than at the front,
where there is no definition of the
waist line, and girdle of wooden

the dress. A very simple and mod

at the right side. One can imagine

has not come about because the for
ests have been used so freely but be-
cause Of the failure tC use forest
growing land. In a nutshell, the prob
lem is that the United States is cut
ting wood out of its forests three or
four times as fast as it is being grown.
Much of the land on which timber
stands or has been cut off will always
be forest land. 1t is ample to grow
all the wood needed for the use of the
people of this country and for export
trade in lumber and products manu-
featured from lumber, if the land can
be kept at work growing trees. Tim
Der for the future is simply a matter
of putting idle land to work.
Every reasonable encouragement
should be given to the landowner to
grow timber on his own account in
the ways best suited to his own pur-
poses, but by some means or other the
public must see to it that forest lands
not needed for agriculture do not lie
idle. The regulations imposed must
ously the owner Of the land cannot do
1t all. The public must aid him In
overcoming the hazard of forest fires
and must recognize that the present
methods OF taxing forests in many
regions are equivalent to taxing a
farm crop twice week during the
growing season
