Our Timber Problem.

The fact that France was equal TO
the task Of furnishing sufficient tim
ber during the war for bridge and
railroad construction as well as other
purposes has been a source OF sur
prise 10 those OF us who had no
knowledge OF Tie manner in which re-
fcrestation has been employed on the
Continent.
An article in Tn NEW YORK HER
AID last sunday told OF the way the
French authorities exercised super
vision over the actual cutting opern-
tlons Of the lumberjacks brought over
from this country. These men. whose
skill is proverbial, chafed under the
conditions imposed. They had been
accustomed 10 the destructive meth
-ods long followed In the United States
They did not sense the thrift behind
policy which called for the cutting OF
only a certain number OF trees In
given area and the removal of limbs
from n tree about to be felled which
would be menace 10 standing tim
Der near by.
Before they had finished their task
these American woodsmen, whose i'm
pulse was merely to follow trndi-
tlonal methods, were converts TO the
system which had kept q sufficient
supply Of timber for any emergency
in country which would have been

The timber situation here in the
United States, and also in Canada, is
one Of great concern Most Of the

United States and outside OF the
great prairie provinces of Canada

neer had to win his way with bis axe.

Church at Gopher Prairie.

In "Main Street." one Of the most
talked about of recent American nov-
els, SINoLAIE LEWIS provides a pic
ture of sman Western community
in such detail that it seems almost
Of Photographic distinetness; yet those
who really know village life, East or
West, North or South, realize that
something is lacking from the nc
count of Gopher Prairie and its peo-
pie as they are portrayed by Mr..
LEWIS.
Gradually the knowledge comes that
"Main Street" gives but partial
view; that o great blank exists which
must be filled in ere complete pic
ture is presented. Intentionally or
otherwise, there has been no adequate
presentation of vital element Of the
small town-the quiet, generous, level
headed men and women who uphold
and further the highest and best in
such life; who spend time and thought
and money in many forms of charity,
philanthropy, enlightenment; who
carry on the work of churches and
their affiliated organizations
Such men and women, unselfish,
sincerely deyout, sympathetic and
helpful to a degree, undoubtedly form
the substantial backbone of commu-
nifty life in Maine and, California, in
Florida and Alaska. But the author
Of Main Street seems unaware OF
their presence in Gopher Prairie, al
though they are there.
The village church remains the GEN.
tire OF good works. IN IL gather
earnest men and women, striving as
best they may to make their neigh
borhood better, their neighbors and
themselves happier, more useful. In
thousands Of such churches gifts are
made cheerfully for medical work,
educational work, religious work in
foreign lands as well as nearer home.
In them real sacrifices for mankind
are made, without false pretence and
without expectation of applause.
Unfortunate would be an American
community without n church; unfor-
tunate would be It's Inhabitants.
Despite Its omission from Main
Street." churches and sincere sup
porters Of church work could be found
with little difficulty out there in
Gopher Prairie.

its area in timber, but look about to-
day in a journey over any of our
great railroads and note the almost
total disappearance of the wood lot
The farmer himself is to blame for
his predicament. II was not even
necessary to follow the Continental
custom Of planting tree every time
one was cut down. A timber supply
sufficient for an indeterminate period
might have been had II the farmer
had cut the dead or down timber for
fuel instead of the green tree. There
was reason for the course he fol-
lowed. A dead and thoroughly sea-
soned tree, whether maple, beech or
hickory, works slowly. 1t is so much
easier TO make the chips dy from
green log full OF sap through which
the great six pound axes eat vora-
ciously. The best cuts were taken for
lumber or firewood and the tops, fre-
quently containing cords Of excellent
wood, were left TO rot and breed dis
ease to spread destruction throughout
the forest.
1t would be difficult 10 estimate the
amount OF wood left to rot after every
numbering operation in all parts of
the country. Much of 1t has helped to
feed the flames Of those great confia-
grations which sweep timbered areas
in northern Michigan and portions OF
Wisconsin and Minnesota, Rs well as
beyond the Rockies, where most Of
our big timber is now located. The
South, which had a great supply of
pine, oak and cypress, Is becoming
alarmed at the situation and the
citrus fruit and produce growers OF
Georgia, the Carolinas, Florida, Mis-
sissippi md Louisiana are asking re-
lief through the medium Of reforesta-
ton. The cost OF containers for their
shipments has risen to point where
the situation calls for action.
The lumber people say that lack Of
labor, which was once their most serl-
Gus problem, has been overshadowed
by Lack OF material, and that they are
powerless to provide cheaper boxes.
Shippers Of certain classes of goods
notably boots and shoes-have tried
stout fibre board cartons, but wood
is a constituent in their production
and their cost must keep pace with
the price of the raw material

Saving Wayward Children.

In transmitting the annual report
of the Chlldren's Court TO the Mayor,
H'EANKIrN G. HoYT, the Presiding JUS
tice, wrote a letter calling attention
to the decrease in the number Of ar
raignments from 1887 cases in
1919 to 11,5s2 in 1920, drop Of
2,045. Further he drew attention to
steady decline of Child delinquency
from 1907. when it was 1923 to
each 10000 of population, TO 2o.6
last year, a change for the better Of
very nearly one-half. Last year, In
deed, shows the work OF the court
and the need for IL at a minimum,
since Of the children arraigned only
1892 were sent to institutions.
This IL a most encouraging presen-
tation. There Is Of course tho eco
nomic saving; the decrease in com
mitInents has moro than paid the
expenses Of the court since 1911;
but this IS q secondary matter; the
great gain IS In the diminished NUM-
Der Of embryo criminals, seedlings
for the terrible prison harvest Of the
future. IL Is not true that all adult
offenders started on their evil career
in childhood, nor yet that all juve-
nile culprits pursue career Of law
breaking, but there Is undcniaDiy a
relation between youthful behavior
and later tendencies. and the fewer
rcformatory graduates there are the
fewer will certainly be those who
live in the shadow Of the jail.
