CUTTING CHRISTMAS TREES
IN THE NATIONAL FOREST

How long does it take to grow a
Christmas tree? Ten years, yes, and
usually in the mountain regions Of
the west twenty-five years. The
State of Wyoming requires annually
some 10000 Christmas trees, South
Dakota $4,000, and in the whole
United States some Is to 20 million
young trees are cut each year at the
yule tide. Is it any wonder then
that the promiscuous and destructive
cutting of the young forests Of the
conservative citizen? This Is not
without cause, for in the past these
trees have been cut from privately
owned lands and on public domain
without concern for the future of
the forests annually into other parts
of the state or neighboring states
that are not fortunate in having for
ests OF their own, for the Christmas
festivities. These trees coming al
most entirely from privately owned
lands have been cut no doubt in most
cases without regard to the future
Of the forest stands and under the
most destructive methods. Each
owner OF private forest lands should
feel obligated to the future of the
nation and to himself to cut his
trees wisely and conservatively.
The Forest Service is now pre-
pared to offer a solution Of the prob
lem not by the discOntinuance or re-
striction Of the use of Christmas

The Department Of the Interior is
now making a thorough inves,iga-
tion of the oil industry in Wyoming,
for the purpose of determining
whether or not the prices paid for
Government royalty oil in Salt Creek
are fair. This investigation is under
the direction of Mr.. F. B. Tough and
Mr.. II. H. Hill. Both gentlemen are
versed in the oil industry. and their
honesty and integrity are beyond
question.
The differential in the posted prices
of m~id-continent crude oil and Salt
Creek crude oil is now sixty $500
cents per barrel instead of seventy
five $50 cents per barrel. This
alone means a difference of $780,

Many areas in the National Forests

thrifty and of a uniform size.. One
thousand such trees uniformly spaced
is the maximum number which can

The Forest Service sells these
trees suited for the Christmas fes-
at a nominal price, the re-

treasury. all of which comes back to
the people in the form of mainten-
ance and construction of public
works in some form or another. The

Nature in the process of growing
forests sows the seed thickly with the
result that on favorable sites the
young stands OF trees are too thick
for rapid growth into sawlogs and
railroad ties. The growing of ma

object of the practice Of forestry.

POLITICAL STUDY MEETING

The initial meeting of the political
study class, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. e. Sammis, was success
in interest and numbers.
Mrs. Sammis is chairman of this
committee from the Woman's Club,
which is meeting as community
evenings at the homes of members
of the committee.
Mrs. Heaton was the leader of the
meeting and after an informal dis
cussion of current topics by all, she
opened the discussion on General
Theory and Striking Features in the
Development of Civil Government on
American SOIL" by presenting a
resume of the beginnings of civil gov
eminent in America.
The discussion following was par
ticipated in by practically all present,
both men and women, and proved most
interesting and instructive, revealing,
too, a surprising amount of knowledge
about the colonial days of government.
The discussion included at times the
subject of the next meeting, the Con
stitution of the United States, and
included timely topics as well as those
of the earliest periods.
The next meeting will be on the
last Saturday in October at the home
of Mrs. Dickinson.

MILLINERY GLASS

The community millinery class,
which has been meeting at the LawtOn
avenue school for two weeks, in
charge of Mrs. Joseph Scott, has been
very. successful.
Fifteen women from Palisade and
ten from Cliffside Park have met and
received instruction from several
teachers, and on Thursday, Miss Beck
er, County Home Demonstration in
structor from the Agricultural College,
was present and inspected the sample
hats made at the previous meeting,
then gave aid to those who We're MAX
ing their winter hats and a number
of creditable hats were the result,
all of which would have cost a much
larger sum if purchased. Miss Becker
stated that the former instructor, who
has returned to her California home,
had written that New Jersey is doing
far more in domestic science, etc.,
than California, but the latter obtains
more credit at Washington at present
because all who receive benefit make
reports and the women of Jersey are
urged to send word to Miss Becker
at Hackensack every time they pro-
duce something as the result at home
of what they have learned through
the state and county teachings pro-
vided by the government.

THE CLIFFSIDE CAMPAIGN

The great interest in the mayoralty
race displayed by the voters of Cliff
side Park in the primary election con-
tinues to hold the center of the politi-
cal stage, although the alignment of
sentiment has been materially altered.
John c. Cadien, the present mayor,
who is again candidate for re-elec-
ton, secured the Democratic nomina-
ton, although he was not in the pri-
mary fight at all, while ON the Repub-
lican ticket the issue was clear cut be-
tween Smith, the regular Republican
nominee, and Kenney, an Independent,
seeking to defeat Smith for the Repub-
lican nomination. The result was a
decisive defeat for Kenney. His forces
staked all on the chances of securing
the nomination and lost No one can
say that anything was left undone to
influence the voters to rally to Ken
neys support. The services of every
available Kenney worker and of nu-
merous automobiles were commander
ed to turn the tide in Kenney'S favor,
but without success. Kenney lost both
the Democratic and the Republican
nomination and must now content him.
self with place on the ballot as an
independent where he cannot win him.
self but where, If his candidacy is not
ignored, he might secure enough votes
from either Cadien or Smith to defeat
one and elect the other against the
wishes of the majority. Therefore 1t
seems obvious that since Kenney has
shot his bolt and failed his candidacy
should not be given serious considera-
ton. He couldn't beat Smith at the
primary and there is no reason to sup
pose that he can develop any more
strength for the general election. He
is not really factor.
1.-THE two candidates are Mayor John
G. Cadien, who seeks an endorsement
of his efforts to work for the people
and Frederick L. Smith, the erstwhile
leader of the Board of Education

BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING

A special school meeting was held
on Thursday, September 30, at which
the following resolutions were pre-
scented, Mr.. s. N. Sears being elected
chairman of the evening.
Resolved, that the Board of Educa-
ton be authorized to make up the
deficit in the school accounts for the
years 1919, 1920 and 1921, amounting
in all to the sum of $6,371.59, by is
suing notes in the corporate name of
the school district and applying the
proceeds of such notes to the making
of SUCH deficit.
Resolved, that the Board of Educa-
ton be authorized to transfer the bal
ance in the building and repairs ac-
count of $2,763.46 for 1920-21 to the
current expense account. The first
part of the evening was very lively,
but the votes in the affirmative were
in the majority and the board are
duly authorized q, to carry out the
resolutions.

THE FORT LEE JOKE

Our ancient contemporary, the Fort
Lee Sentinel, grew red in the face last
week in an attack upon the friends of
Candidate Hart, man with some
sense. by the way, who dared to advo-
cate and vote for him at the primary.
ORATORS went down to ignominious
defeat is the way the Sentinel puts
it. Since when has it been denied New
Jersey voters to declare for candidates
when they are put through the regular
channel according to the law OF the
state? 1t was not the first time that
two wings of party put up Candidates
for the same office That is what the
primary is for. But listen to the wall
ings Of the ancient one again:
Upon the mayoralty contest the
ewes of not alone the voters OF the
borough were cast, but those of county
politicians who have been hoodwinked
into believing that the self-styled Re-
publican leaders in the borough car
ried the Republican vote in their vest
pockets. The vote cast, however on
Tuesday proved beyond the question
of doubt that the Republicans of the
borough cannot be dictated TO by any
clique and will not stand for anything
that is not just and right"
Now, when one gets right down to
brass tacks, what sort of Republican
is the man who received the nominal
ton? Dyed in the wool? 70 be sure,
but with warp of Democrats and a
wool of his own party. Besides, there
are grave doubts that Mr.. Hill is the
candidate of the Republicans. AT the
last election before this-1919-it was
openly asserted that George went in
as the candidate of former mayor
who still has more to say about the
local government, the police and ev-
erything else connected with the Dor,
ough than anyone else. Besides, that
year the Democrats had no candidate
and this year they had none. For the
six years previous the Democrats con
trolled the borough, bag and baggage
Then the Hill combine was made
that is, "as long as" there was to be
no Democrat put up for mayor, why
all good, honest Democrats should vote
for George Hill. And they did. And
they did the same thing this year at
the primary, and will do SO next month
at the final election. This last great
triumph of the so-called Republicans
of Fort Lee is a great big joke. The
county is in no way concerned with
the Fort Lee election, and the great
triumph" at the primary is laughable.
Politics in Fort Lee is in sorry mess
when it comes right down to the plain,
unvarnished truth, and the petty posi-
is enough to make a dog laugh. Talk
ing of bosses, who is the boss of Fort
Lee? Whose approval must be on ev-
cry move?

The action of the local post of the
American Legion relative to the chill
dren of The Christian Home for Or
phan Children, recalls the fact that
this institution has unwittingly been
the cause of considerable comment and
criticism ever since it was removed
from Jersey City to the DIR. ONeill
home on the Cliff front in Fort Lee,
one of the most beautiful locations
that could be found in the world.
The criticism started when about go
children entered Scool No. /, to enjoy
the privileges of free education there,
such as had been granted the children
of this home without question in Jer-
sey City, for twenty years.
The objection fortunately is confined
to a very limited number, and is based
on the point of additional taxation.
This is absurd as not even one extra
teacher has been employed in order to
accommodate these children.
While it is admitted that the matter
is one that could assume more serious
proportions, the problem of the future

1t is one thing to raise objections to
something that is apparent in the way
of graft-but here is an institution that
makes instant appeal because of its
humanitarian effort to help the most
unfortunate of all human beings-the
orphan child.
Calling it by no worse name than
opposition, the objection that was
raised to the Home, is, to say the least,
not we'll taken.
Those at the head of the institution
are laboring earnestly and unselhshly
in righteous cause. Shall we help or
hinder them in their work? "Inasmuch
