u. s. FACING LOSS
OF VIRGIN FOREST

Chicago, July t7.-originally there
were 500 100000 acres OF virgin for
ests In the United States. There are
now only 1000 900 acres left. The
500 100000 acres that are gone. were
depleted in the last seventy years.
Unless something Is done about Il.
the United States will some time be a
treeless land-its vast original forests
laid lod: those OF Its Industries which
depend on timber for their existence,
crippled or broken.
Awakened TO a realization OF these
conditions by far cry from its mem
bers all over the country. the United
States Chamber OF Commerce has APP
pointed National Forestry Policy
Committee and called hearings on the
forestry problems In number OF cit
les. The first OF these hearings opens
at the Union League Club here. Hear
ings In Minneapolis Minnesota. Spo-
kane. Washington. Portland. Oregon.
Seattle, Tacoma, and San Francisco
win follow.
David L. Goodwillie, Chicago box
manufacturer. speaking of the coming
hearing, pointed out the urgent need
for study and action ON the forestry
problem. He declares the danger OF
an ultimate depletion OF Americas for
ests is real grave one; he. asserts
the problem IL far more serious than
the lay public realizes.

A BLUEGRASS VIEW
OF THE MOUNTAINS

The following Is part OF an editorial
from the Lexington Herald:
We are the same people---the people
OF the Bluegrass and OF the Mountains;
the most homogeneous OF any race OF
people resident IN any American Com
monweaith. kindred by the ties OF blood
and common tradition. None
OF us In Kentucky even have yet begun
to fully realize tho wealth OF our
mountains. The great prize for which
the Germans battled and butchered
were the coal fields OF France and
Belgium. Yet those coal fields. because
OF which millions died upon which
rests the Industrial life OF Germany
and France and Belgium. do not COM
pare In extent or wealth to the coal
fields OF Eastern Kentucky.
There is not in all the world such
fields OF such coal as underlIe the hills
OF Eastern Kentucky. ranging from the
best coking coal known TO man to the
best bituminous coal for domestic
purposes. There Is sufficient coal IN
the area to supply the world. And yet
the very surface has not as yet been
scratched an indication CIV
en- OF what may hereafter be develop
ed. And coal IL but one OF the prod
ucts OF the mountains: the certain
prosperity built upon the abundance
OF the coal is only minimum part Of
the prosperity that will In time HOOD
the mountains.

PROFANITY

When Jesse d. Osborne, %. Oldest
citizen OF Pike-co.. KY, died the other
day many things we're said In his
praise. But what he was honored
most for was that In all his life ne
never permitted a profanc word to
pass his lips.
Profanity is not the mark Of a
strong man, but. rather. evidence OF
a weak vocabulary. The man OF foul
tongue holds in high respect the clean
speech. concedIng his superiority
There Is lot OF propaganda for
better English. How about cleaner
English. Cincinnati Post.

PROPOSAL NOW
Valley Association Wants
Wheeling Designated as
Freight Terminal

The meeting OF the special com
mittee of the Monongahela Valley
Association with Oliver S. Lewis
iof Baltimore, asststaE:: traffic
manager OF the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company at Clarks-
burg yesterday brought ont one
pertinent fact. that Is that the
proposal made to tILs shippers OF
this territory by Colder Shunate
representing the railroad company
IS no good.
4 co2nter proposal made by the
special committee to Mt. LOWS
was that the rail road COMPANY,
use Wheeling as central point
and give shippers in this territory
the benefit OF forty mile radius
from Wheeling and then the ship
pers would be willing to accept
the disc rate. This according to
MIR Lewis was not possible.
Anothe- meeting was arranged
to be held at ClarksburG Wednes-
day, January 4. when a repCesen-
tatIve OF the railroad and the spec
ial committee Of the association
TIll 80 over the matter agag1. II
an agreement Is not reached at
tho January meeting it Is possible
that the Association will make a
flat footed demand OF the railroad
company that this territory be
rlarod on the Pittsburgh basis and
II their demand IS not considered
by the railroad, other steps will
then be taken.
