EGYPT WOODS
BEING WASTED

Urbana, Ill, Nov. 2e.-Fires left
to rage unmoIested in the forests
OF southern Illinois and the promis-
cuous cutting of trees with no at
tempt at reforestation or preserva-
ton of the woodlands have wrought
great damage to one of Egypt's
most valuable resources.
This is the word brought back
by S. A. Forbes, chief of the state
natural history survey, under
whose direction foresters have just
completed a survey OF 100000 acres
of virtually continuous forest in
the western parts of Alexander, IN
ion and Jackson counties.
The forests of these three coun-
ties cover a country so broken that
it can never be used for agriculture.
MIR. Forbes said. His foresters
found that much of the timberland
carries from 5000 to 1000 board
feet an acre of merchantable tim
Der available for railroad ties, mine
props, sawed lumber and yeneering
for boxes.
Principal species of trees grow
ing in the forests of southern Illi-
nois are oak, beech, hickory and
wildwood or poplar.
Much Of this area has already
been more or less cut over" said
Professor Forbes, with no atten-
ton to a proper disposal of the
slash. Forest fires have done great
damage by killing young trees,
thus preventing new growth, and
by injuries which come to light
when the mature trees are cut
down, revealing fire scares and rot
ten or hollow butts. This results
in a considerable waste Of mater
iaI
Protection against fires is, in
fact, the most important measure of
improvement called for. The soil
of this area is remarkably good for
the maintenance and rapid growth
of trees, and if fires are kept out
the forest is quickly reproduced on
the cut-over tracts, making replant-
ing unnecessary except as means
of substituting better kinds of
trees for those which grew there
naturally.
"The current method of cutting
can no doubt be greatly improved
in a way to increase the present
value of the woods by a more care
full and intelligent selection of
kinds and sizes to be cut and of
those to be left for growth and re-
production"

by the coat tails and tell him to let
someone else have a chance.
How do 1 keep up? First, good

LOSSOF EXPORT
TRADE GUIDING
JAPAN'S POLICY
Nation is Alarmed at Falling On
in Shipping-Renected by POSI-
ton at Washington.

New York, Nov. 26--Japan
| policy in the far east, particularly
| in China, is based on big ana
| constant leak in Japan's pocket
| book.
| This is the leak: Since 1918. ia
pans imports have been exceeding
her exports, in terms of money.
The result OF the situation is that
| Japan is paying out more than she
| is taking in. This is an alarming
situation, from the japanese view
! point. For Japan, having small
territory and congested and rap
! idly growing population, should,
according to economic laws, be
! big exporting nation with the trade
| balance in her favor or at least
breaking even.
What Japan needs most are raw
materials. These lie at her door
step in China, an AIaddin's cave of
! undeYeloped resources. China, for
| instance. has enough unmined coal
to supply the world 1000, 600, 600
tons a year for 1000 years.
Japan's Loss.
Latest figures on Japan's foreign
trade are for September, 1921.
These are the figures, expressed in
yen. the Japanese unit of money,
worth about so cents American at
par:
Exports .... 95,4S7 900 yen
Imports go. 127 ,87S, 900 yen
Deficit ...... 80, 391 900 yen
In 1920, Japan imported about
| 5000, 100000 worth of goods more
than she exported.
American Trade.
Forty-five per cent of Japan's
total exports in September, 1921,
were to the United States, which in
turn furnished 30 per cent of ia
pans total imports. Uncle Sam is
easily Japan's best customer.
Chinese Trade.
Between 1904 and 1918, Chinese
imports increased 700 per cent from
Japan, 244 per cent from United
States and so per cent from Eng
/ land.
The Chinese boycott against ia
panese goods went into effect May
l, 1919. Within 60 days, Japan's
trade with China was cut in two.
In September, 1921, China took
only 10 per cent of Japan's total
exports and furnished only eight
per cent of Japan's imports.
Here's how Japan and United
States compared in trade with Chi
ma, during September:
EXPORTS
Japan to China ........ $500, 900
U. S. TO China .... $8,S55, 900
IMPORTS.
China to Japan ... 81 900 900
China to U. S. ..... $9,559, 900
These figures show that. al
though Japan is at China's doorstep
and has a great geographical ad
vantage, China is giving 1854 worth

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot
Be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by q constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
m infamed condition OF the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when il
is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to its normal com
dition hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an in1amed condition
of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts thru the blood on the mu
cous surfaces Of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.
