How long does It take 10 grow n
Christmas trees? Ten years. yes and
usually In the mountain regions OF
the west rs years. The state of
Wyoming requires annually some
10000 Christmas trees. South Da-
kota q 5000, and in the whole Unit
ed States some 10 to 20 million
young trees are cut each year ut the
yule tide. Is It any wonder then
that the promiscuous and destruc-
tive cutting of the young forests
of the country is n source of alarm
to many conservative citize.c7 This
is not without cause. for in the past
these trees have been cut from pri-
vately owned lands and on public
domain without concern for the fu-
ture of the forest stands. Thousands
of young trees are taken out OF tho
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 nl-
most entirely from privately owned
lands have been cut no doubt in
most without regard to tho
future Of the forest stands and un-
der the most destructive methodo.
Each owner of private forest lands
should feel obligated TO tho frI
ture of the nation and to himself to
cut his trees wisely and ~conserva-
lively.
The forest service is nov pre-
pared to offer a solution of tho prob

restriction of the use of Christmas

GREATEST OF ALL PHOTO
PLAYS IS COMING TO IRIS

D. w. Griffith's wonder spectacle,
way Down East which comes to
the Iris theater tomorrow is assured
a wonderful reception from the hearty
response that the management has
evidenced from its patrons.
No theatrical attraction of tho year
has created the stir that has followed
since the opening presentation of this
production at the 44th Street thea
ter in New York City early in Sep
ember. 1890. 1t crowded hat thea
ter twice daily from the start and
was given such unstinted praise that
It has been acclaimed the greatest
picture of all times.
Way Down East" as you know
was a play by Lottie Blair Parker
which Joseph r. Grlsmer helped
adapt to the stage and enjoyed I'M
usual popularity for over a decade
upon the regular stage. D.. w. Grit
fifth has taken this basic story and by
his new art form which represents a
combination OF music. drama nj mo-
ton pictures, has produced a classic.
It pictures New England rural life
with a fidelity and charm which can
not be approached under any other
circumstances. To this absorbing tale
of love and lovers Mr.. Griffith has
given 1t those touches which make
his work something apart from all
other forms Of dramatic and pictorial
entertainment. Its great punch comes
after the former story would ordinar-
fly terminate. and is the greatest
scene over conceived in the theater.
