buy coal. The way to buy coal is to
get 1t direct from the mines. This

This company has thousands of Gus
toners in various sections Of the
United States who receive all Of their

toners are pleased not only because
of the many dollars they save every

NEWSPAPERS ARE
VITALITY INTERESTED
IN FIRE PREVENTION
Prevention Of Great Forest Fires Be-
comes Real Live Subject
To Newspapers Of
Country.

A burning cigarette butt beside q
woods-road IN northern Maine may
mean much 10 the business manage
ment OF the Texas Daily Bugle.
Sounds like like but | IT, The
Daily Bugle, says specialists OF the
Forest Service, United States Depart
J ment Of Agriculture, represents the
newspaper industry dependent on for
ests for It's existence; the smoldering
cigarette portrays forest fires caused
by human carelessness. Newspaper is
made from wood. Rires destroy the
forests and Jesse nthe supply Of raw
material with a resultant increase In
the price Of paper stock. Hence, the
relation between the cigarette butt In
Maine and the newspaper In Texas.
This is the day and age of newspa-
pers Theer are in this country 21,OOO
papers with total daily circulation
OF over 2S,OOO,O0O copies. Sixty dali
ies have a circulation exceeding 1907
1000 copies each, and oen Sunday paper
claims 100000 circulation. Newsprint
is 100 per cent product Of the forest,
but few persons stop to think that
there Is real relation between their
daily paper and the problem of forest
protection.
The paper industry Of the United
States,use about 51s million cords Of
wood a year This is equivalent to
from forty to eighty years growth of
timber on approximately 100000 acres
Of forest land. No concerted effort has
been made to replace the amount TAX
en- fro mthe forests, and the yearly
drain has depleted the capital stock
to something like 50,OO0,O0O cords of
spruce, the most desirabl wood, in the
regions of Capitalization Of the pulp
paper industry. This indicates only
little more than en- years supply in
sight, and it is prediced by the Forest
Service that within this period the pa
per mills of the Northeast and Lake
state will be hard put to secure pulp
wood to keep their mills and machin-
cry busy.
The pulp and paper industry is at
present centered in the New England
States, New York, and, to lesser ex-
tent, in the Lake States. The bulk OF
raw material exclusive of some 1,3OO,-
900 cords of pulp wood imported from
Canada, comes from these states. Dur
ing the past five years $4,000 forest
fires in these regions burned over
more than Az million acres and occa

age done to pulp-wood stands by these
conflagrations amounts to stagger-
ing total. t.E
In the use Of our forests to provide
material for the Industrial develop
ment Of the Nation, fire and devasta-
ton have usually followed numbering,
instead Of the desired and natural re-
establishment Of forest cover, Fire
has taken the rejuvenating life out of
some 81 million acres of our forest
land, and, practically unhampered by
man, has played pranks with the wood
using industries. The "red plague
continues to spread year by year,
largely Through the carelessness of
campers, loggers, settlers and rail-
roads. From 60 to 80 pc recent. Of
the annual forest fire loss is due to
human agencies and is therefore, pre-
ventable.
During the past year the newspa-
pers of the country have been hamper
ed by the extremely high prices of pa
per. One of the underlying reasons
for this increased cost is the dimin-
ished supply of pulp wood in our for
ests. Forest fires do not tell the whole
story, but they represent one of the
largest items that is responsible for
the condition.
A camp fire left smoldering, or
burning cigarette or match carelessly
thrown aside, is detriment not only
to the success of your favorite daily
paper but to the pulp and paper in
dustry, lumbermen, manufacturers,
and the welfare of the Nation. 1t is
because of this fact that President
Harding has proclaimed Forest Pro-
lection Week, May 1928, in order that
the present unnecessary waste by for
est fires may be forcibly brought to
the attention of the citizens of our
country.

Agricultural College, Miss, Sept. 1.
A report that will be of interest to
every cotton grower in the Southern
States has just been received by the
State Plant Board of Mississippi. On
August Is the Texas legislature

is believed that the Governors APPROX
al Of the law will be Forthcoming with

lowed by the constitution of the State
of Texas. The new law when APP
proved will furnish strong safeguard
to the cotton industry against the
further distribution of this serious
insect pest of cotton and provides au-
thority and funds for the Texas State
Department of Agriculture to do ev-
erything within its power to control
and eradicate the Pink Bollworm.

BOOMING AGAIN
(From The Commercial-Appeal)

The wheels of in dustry are begin
ing to turn again in the industrial
sections of Columbus, Miss. Yester-
day the thousands of spindles in the
began to hum, giving employment to
hundreds of people, and recently the
mills of the Tombigbee Cotton Mills
plant of the Lucas f. Moore Stave
Company resumed operations after
having been partially closed down for
many months. The cotton mills had
been idle for more than five months.
With industry gradually getting
back to normal and the prospects of
the finest crops in many years, this
section is well on the road to the re-
turn to normalcy and better times.
Retail business is beginning to turn
the corner on its way back to normal
conditions and the outlook from every
standpoint is unusually bright and en-
couraging.
In a few days work will be under
way on three buildings on the cam
pus of the Mississippi State College
for Women, contracts for which were
awarded a few days ago. EXpendi-
lures i'm the way Of new buildings at
the institution will be more than a
quarter of a million dollars. A num-
Der of homes are under constructed
in Columbus also, and many who have
been without employment are return
ing to work again.

LAMAR FARMERS
HERE WEDNESDAY
(Continued From Page one.)

Cream & Creamery Co.
The Lamar countians were delighted
with their visit here. From Columbus
they went to the A. & M. College to
inspect the dairy equipment there.
Acting upon the advice of their county
agent, they plan to eliminate to a
large extent the production of cotton
and devote their energies to the rails
ing of live stock and the development
of the dairy business. If handsome
profits can be made from dairying in
Wisconsin, where the cows must be
housed and fed on grain for six
months in the year, surely more mon
ey can be made here where our win
tiers are mild and pasturage is good
most of the year
