LUMBER CUT DECLINED
Less Timber Cut in 1920 Than in
1910


The lumber cut of the United States
in 1920 was 33,79S, 100000 feet, which
is % per cent. less than in 1919. and
81 per cent. less than the peak in 1907
The average price of lumber at the
mill increased to $3S.42 per thousand
which is a rise of $50 per cent. since
1910. The aggregate value of the cut
is S1,229,000,000 These are the highest
annual Namtions ever recorded, but do
not indicate present conditions. They
merely reflect the extremely high peak
in the postwar lumber prices which
was passed in the first quarter of 1920.
These are the principal statistics
obtained by the Forest Service, United
States Department of Agriculture, in
its 1920 canvass of American sawmills.
They are based upon reports from 15.-
97S active mills out of 23,24S estimated
20 have been in operation. Several
thousand mills cutting less than $4,000
feet were not tabulated, though al
lowance was made for tLeir cut.
Comparisons with 1919 are published
by permission OF the Bureau Of the
Census, United States Department OF
Commerce.

William Dean Howells, the
great American novelist, used to
tell a story on himself which
illustrates the ignorance of many
people about standard literature.
One time he was visiting in a
small New England village. He
had brought with him nothing in
particular to read, SO he decided
to buy a volume by Charles
Lamb, the famous English es-
sayist.
He walked into the Main Street
Department Store and said to the
clerk at the book counter. Let
me have the Letters of Charles
Lamb please"
you are in the wrong place,
Mr.. Lamb" said the clerk pleas
antly. THE postoffice used to be

The Lighthouse" people called
the Martin cottage. 1t stood on
a hill at the edge of the sum-
mer resort. During the summer
Mrs. Martin worked in the no.

the boats. In winter, when the
boys were in school, Mrs. Mar
tin sewed to keep her little
family together.
The cottage was built with
half-story with a cupola which,
when the lamps were lit at
night. stood out like a beacon.
One stormy evening in late
fall Jerry and Gene were alone
in the house. The wind was
rising and shaking the cottage.
Rain beat against the windows.

said Jerry, in the sailor lingo
they often used in fun. WED

and our ears open for calls of
distress from wrecked vessels"
Hey, there!" came voice
from outside, as If in answer to
his remark. Jerry threw of n

blew in, nearly blowing him
over. Can we come in?" asked
a man in long raincoat. ~Our
car is stuck in the mud out
here"
Sure" said Jerry. Ship
wrecked people are always well
come. Bring on the other sur
vivors." The man laughed and
made his way back to the car.
He returned Immediately, bring

and made coffee for them. They

In the gray of the dawn Billy
looked through a wicker gate at
the back of a village and saw,
only short way of. a man lead
ing an elephant up from the
stream where he had taken him
for a bath.
When they got near enough
Billy saw that it was his old
friend from the circus. He
bleated to him to hold back and
ne would run out of the garden
and join him. This the elephonr
did. and he stopped SC suddenly
that he Jerked the man who had
hold of his head off his feet.
Come on, you old clumsy,
what are you stopping here for?"
Billy heard the man say as he
appeared around the corner.
How in the world does It
happen that you are running
around loose?" asked the ele-
plant of Billy.
oh, I just butted down the
shed door where / was shut in.
and came out to see what kind
of a place this amusement park
Is, and in my mind 1t is more
like a circus than anything else.
Speaking of circuses, how would
YOU like to be back in one? By
the way, how did you get away
from the circus we both were
in?"
Easily enough. The company
that ran the circus failed and
most of the animals were turned

ment parks. But / am anxious
