Favor ofLesislation Affect
ing Forests
FOREST ASSOCIATION
IN ANNUAL MEETING
President Pack Declares Ac,
ton Must Be Used for Pas
sage of Smell Bill
(By United Press)

Washington, Feb. 25.-Greater
strides toward national forest policy
were made in 1920 than ever before,
Charles Lathrop Pack president Of
the American Forestry association,
today told the members at the open
ing of the annual meeting of the or
ganizati on at the Willard Hotel.
Pack called; attention to the fact
that President-elect Harding Is
heartily in favor of forest legisla-
ton and quoted this message from
the incoming president:
1T Is perfectly practicable and
feasible to provide for new growth
OF timber and an imperative duty to
improve our forest protection. I can
think Of no, forward look in relation
to the good fortunes of America
which does not contemplate forest
policy which will assure lis the es-
sential in the lumber line for all our
constructive activities
The Smell Forest bill has been In
trOduced in. congress, Pack pointed
out, and behind this measure was
the united approval, he said, Of not
only the American Forestry associa-
ton but every business interested,
such as the American Newspaper
Publishers association and hundreds
Of wood using industries and the
United States Forest service.
with the coming of new con-
gress, said Pack, 1--WE are at the point
where something constructive can be
done in the perpetuation and preser-
walton of the forests, one OF, The ma
tion'sgreatest natural resources. Con-
servation has been quite a bugnboo
in times past, but the call of war
'upsli yin. reaouvcrssh as awakened the
nation to the fact that tho Ameri-
can Forestry association has not been
calling wolf In the wilderness just
for the fun of 1t. 1hc fac: If the
matter is If we do not get something
done there will be nothing but the
wilderness In which to call wolf
and then It will be too late
Waste must be stopped. Our for
ests are being used rr destroyed by
fire four times faster than we are re-
producing them. We must put the
idle land to work. We must have
forest crops coming along every year
just as we have corn and wheat crops.
The great encouraging note comes
from the man who will take next
week the highest office in the gift
of the American people. He is .
newspaper publisher and knows all
about the big phase Of the high cost
of forest products-the pulpwood
that goes into the making Of news
print. You can be assured, from his
message ! have just read you he is
with us in THE great question and
on 1he fact that he is with us tho
country is to be congratulated.
Some Of those attending the meet
ing are, DR.. Henry S. Drinker, late

Turner. 1.-The last big fight Of this
congressional session, involving Am

The cause for the battle lay in the
army and navy appropriation bills.
Consideration Of the army bill be-

came from two sources:
Senators who are demanding flnan-
cial retrenchment pointed out that
an army bill Of $362,000,0O0 and a
navy bill Of $490,000,000 misses
widely the mark of economy.

Borah.. declared thu world con-

Senator Borah served notice today
that he would move to suspend the

may fail to pass this session of con-

PLAYS TONIGHT
High School Girls to Play
Bagley Crib Before
Brainerd Game

Bemidji and Brainerd high school
quints will clash on the basketball
court for the second time this season
at 8:15 o'clock tonight at the old ar
mory. While Brainerd is out of the
dictrict race as far as the district
championship is concerned, interest is
running high as the institutions are
old-time rivals. Brainerd high has
BEEN playing spasmodicH tall away
from home, but when on its own floor
has been a quintet that is hard to de-
feat. Bemidji. defeated Brainerd
earlier in the season on the latter's
floor by 7-point margin, and Coach
Opdahls men are determined to re-
turn home with a victory and conse-
quently ruin Bemidji's position it
now holds with St. Cloud for the dis
trict title.
Bemidji, having been defeated at
st. Cloud last Friday after six straight
district victories, must win tonight if
Coach Smiths men are to be consid-
cred in the running for the district
championship with the Saints. Coach
Smiths men are confident that they
will turn the trick and on respective
ratings, the locals will enter the con-
test strongly favored.
Caldwell to Offic;ate
H. P. caldwell, former Wabash
college football and basketball star,
athletic director of the Crosby high
school, has been selected as the neu-
trail official by Coach Smith, principal
Of the Bemidji school, and M. B.
Scherich, principal of the Brainerd
school, to officiate tonigK's game.
Coach Smith chased his team
through busy hour last night and
was more gratified than ever when
he footed the "time" whistle. Every
member of the team agreed that it
was the best practice yet and think
the Brainerd five will crumble before
them as easily as the, industrious
frosh quint did last night. ~
Preliminary Game
A fast preliminary game will be
played between the Bemidji high
school girls team and the Bagley
high school goods. Bagley has al
ways boosted of one of the fastest
feminine basketball quints in this part
Of the state and this year is no ex-
ception to the rule, so real fast con-
test is predicted. The girls game
will start at 1880 o'clock sharp. :
Basketball fans are requested to
start for the scene Of tonight's games
real early if they desire a good seat,
for it is safe to say that the attend
ance will, in all likelihood, surpass
that which witnessed the Bemidji-St.
Cloud game few weeks ago.
The lineup of the Bemidji quint
and Brainerd quints as announced by
Coach Smith and Coach Opdahl, re-
spectively, follows:

DR.. STRATTON FULLY
Deacons and Trustees Adopt
Resolution Supporting Pas
tors Methods.

The Rev. DR. John Roach Straton had
a good congregation last night at prayer
meeting at the Calvary Baptist Church.
but those who went expecting to hear
an attack on the 1nti-Straton forces
were disappointed, for the pastor merely
showed some stereopticon views OF the
ruins OF ancient Ephesus and discussed
the troubles which the Apostle Paul had
in that city.
Before prayer meeting there was a
joint conference OF the deacons and the
trustees Of the church. Dr.. Straton ap-
peared before them for a few minutes
and told them what he knew OF the
present controversy. which has brought
about the request of the Rev. DR.. Robert
s. Macarthur that his name no longer
be used as pastor emeritus. Then the
deacons and trustees got together and
unanimously adopted a resolution in
support OF DR.. Straton his methods and
his policies. When DR.. Straton was In
formed OF this action 40 said:
THAT is splendid. For the first time
in ten years, am informed. the treas
urer's report viii show that the church
Is without a deficit. For the last fifteen
years we have been running behind. but
1t is now good to know that, despite
statements to the contrary, the church's
finances are In excellent condition"
DIR. Straton said he would have Moth
ing more to say on the controversy until
next Sunday night, when he expects to
make a brief. statement to the congrcga-
ton.

FORGERIES HOLD UP
RUM PERMITS HERE
Connecticut Sends Warning
of Reputable Mems Names
Used by Crooks.

New evidence of the use OF forged
permits for the illegal release of liquor.
by means of which millions OF dollars
worth Of whiskey has been sold In the
United States since prohibition became
law, was reported from Hartford yes
terday by Director Mackenzie OF Con-
necticut.
Mr.. Mackenzie said he had requested
the customs officials in New York to
hold up Withdrawals OF whislSey until
representatives of the warehouses satisfy
them that the permits upon which with
drawals are sought have been verified
at the prohibition office here. Director
Mackenzie said also that he had sent
a recommendation to Commissioner
Haynes that warehouses be required to
follow the same procedure. The names
of reputable drug concerns In Connecti-
cut have been used in forged permits. he
declared.
r.. G. Yellowley, associate director
who Is here from Washington, believes
most of the leaks occurring In New
York are effected by persons who op-
tain legitimate permits through fals.'
pretences, like the bogus drug dealers.
DR.. Royal S. Copeland. Health Com
missioner. said yesterday he had re-
ceived word from Magistrate Fetherstoh
of Staten Island that a drug known as
paraldehyde. a synthetic substitute TOE
alcohol, was being solo in large quanu
ties on Staten Insland as a substitute
for whiskey.
/ Obey saithe, acting director Of the
Bureau Of Food and Drugs or the
Health Department, said that the drug
when used in moderate doses causes
sleep and In large doses has stupefying
effect, which in sufficient quantity may
be followed by death. According to COM
plants that have reached Magistrate
Fetherston many ex-rervico men VINO
have been discharged from the Govern
ment hospitals have become slaves TO
tho drug and are in danger OF losing
their Government allowances in conse-
quence.
The conviction of John D. Harrington.
Grand knight of Admiral Dewey Coun-
ell. X. Of c., on charge OF disorderiy
conduct was reversed by Judge Haskeii
in Brooklyn yesterday. Judge Haskeii
said that his arrest, which occurred
when he was observed leaving "a sort
OF saloon" at Fifty-seoond street and
Fifth avenue. Brooklyn, carrying oas'
was IAN outrageous proceeding.
Harrington testified that the oas con
tanned the secret ritual Of his order
and that he had just conferred degrees
at meeting. He refused to open the
bag for Patrolman Taylor of the Fifth
street station. 1t was taken from him
by force at the station, he said. and
examined there. Taylor accused him OF
bolsterous conduct and profanity. which
Harrington denied. He was found guilty
of disorderly conduct by Magistrate
Folwell and sentence was suspended.
