PROTECT OUR FORESTS

The Importance of protecting the
forests Of Maine from fire and other
disaster and misuse is realized in a
general way by all, although few of
us may feel that it is any part of our
personal duty to take an active part
in accomplishing that end. The
splendid work of the Maine Forestry
Department is recognized all over
the country and the obligations that
our State and it's citizens are under
to that department for it's work are
great. Governor Baxter, realizing
fully the needs of our forests, recent
ly issued a proclamation, urging
everyone to make a point of doing
something toward actual or suggest
ed protection. 1t is up to every per-
son who enters the woods to do his
part toward preserving and improv-
ing that great natural resource of
Maine.
Our forests cover over 100000 of
our total 100000 acreage. The
woodlot is found everywhere, even
with the finest cultivated. farm. The
necessity for wood is imperative. In
order that we shall always have
supply, we must stop the inroads
into Maine forests at the point where
necessary consumption becomes de-
pletion and proceed to reforest the
cutoff sections. 1t is said in the
Governors proclamation that Maine
is now obliged to secure 16 per cent.
of the wood used within it's borders
from outside the State. That tells
the story-we must conserve, protect
and increase our forests.
Forest Protection Weekday % to
2S-should see on the part of every
one something done, spoken or sug-
gested to accomplish this. You may
not be called on to fight forest fire,
or set out any pine seedlings in wild
lands, but you can find some way to
help. The Maine Forestry District,
with it's "a lookout stations in the
100000 acres in it's charge and
field force of over 400 loyal, able and
interested workers, is doing a grand
work. Give it your assistance and
encouragement.

900 must be somewhere produced as
a result of German industrial activ-

necessity for Germany to hold the

to accumulate sufficient surplus for
the payment Of debts. But, and here
arises the real danger, if German

France and to us in such amounts
that the balance of trade is Influenced

will require great minds and wizard
powers for it's working out. The only
bright spot easily made out on the
economic horizon just at present is
the surety that those nations of
Europe which now labor under great
difficulties in industrial matters will
gradually of necessity become pro-

TRADE PROBLEMS AND REPAIR
ALTON

Occasionally situations arise in the
financial world, or accepted facts are
brought into the light under a novel
slant SO that matters previously
stable seem to become all of a sud-
den topsy -turvy.
We as a nation are of necessity
much engrossed in the consideration
of how the United States is to slim
ulate production at home, protect
home manufactures from too strenu-
Gus foreign competition, and at the
same time enlarge our markets and
carry on versatile and lucrative
trade with other nations We have
been legislating for a protective tar
iff which shall tend to check the flow
of certain classes of goods coming
into our country in too great quanti-
ties and so maintain the market in
specific products for the use of do
nestle manufacturers. We have be-
lieved this to be wise and for the
good of the country as a whole, as it
undoubtedly should be.
Yet people have now begun to won
der just what will be our future trade
relations with foreign countries, and
especially Germany, since the latest
development of affairs, when Ger
many agreed to pay the terms de-
manded by the Allies as reparations.
Germany has to pay her debts. She
is to become an international debtor

est demanded on the debt she has 81

The crack debaters Of the Oxford
Union, in seeking a worthy American
foe, have selected Bates because of
the marvellous record of its men on

that the challenge is to be accepted.
No one can be versed in English
politics or in English literature with
out approaching how important has
been the training in public speaking
which the ancient English universe

the debates of, the Union at Oxford is
almost certain to bring political OPP
portunity after college. The young
man who does so has the same chance
of becoming professional as an
American college pitcher credited
with a hit. no-run game.
The great difference between Eng
lish universities and those on this
side of the water is that there a
larger portion of the students take an
interest in great public questions.
Too often our American college boys
look upon their academic course as
unconnected with anything except
their private pleasures and business.
But Bates seems to be leading the
rest into a more serious field, and her
fame has spread halfway round the
world.

For Standard Time

The only time that every one can
use all the time. I sincerely agree
with all those writing letters against
Daylight Saving, so called, and what
they wrote.
There has been a lot said by people
in the city about bringing the producer
and the consumer nearer together for
mutual benefit. But let me tell you
there has not been anything to sep
arate them so far as Daylight Saving
or setting the clocks ahead. The
farmer does not average more than
20 cents an hour for his labor, con-
sequently he has to work early and
late, to pay his bills, with low priced
produce to feed all other classes to
work short hours with big pay.
For instance, it takes six bushels of
marketable potatoes at the present
price of SOC. per bushel to pay for
having one horse shod. AS a class the
farmers contribute more for the well
fare of the people than all the money
contributed by the Red Cross, y. NJ. c.
A. and all other benevolent societies,
but do not get any credit for it.
Agriculture is the foundation of
any nation and anything that Injuries
agriculture weakens the natiOn.
few years ago the papers were
asking what could be done to boom
Maine and keep the boys and girls on
the farms. A meeting was held at the
Augusta House for that purpose, but
as usual nothing was done. I say,
have standard time. keep it, boom
Maine, boom Augusta and boom agri-
culture.

Lets get down to business. The

These are the words Of our national

deserve attention. It's hard pull II
we pull altogether. Secretary Davis
knows what that means. He has
pulled himself up from immigrant
boy to where he now is. That sort
of grit and determination applied to
the business situation ought to work
wonders if persisted in. Here comes
the test of the business man. There
were many who could make things

than the supply. There will be few
err who can encourage the demand to
equal the supply, but proving ones

while. And what help it will be all

God made the world and time first,

that those who are feeling the loss

to it, only SO far as it interferes with
the rights of others, and if they

with Gods time, but get up when they

Disarmament and America
(Cino;nnofi Enn,,irorN


The Hague Tribunal was not a
wholly useless structure: something
good must result from the delibera-
tons of the Versailles conference; it
is conceivable that a conference look
ing toward world disarmament at
some time might bring forth good
works. But right now all talk and all
efforts directed toward this matter
should be carefully scrutinized,
weighed and pondered upon by every
loyal American. This country has no
designs on any other nation. Her
armament imposes no standard for
others to follow. For the first time in
history, since a brief heroic period.
America has the opportunity to en-
large and protect her rights on the
seven seas. Europe does not look
