CHEAP LUMBER NOW
-N0 LUMBER SOON

1t isn't a fable or alarmist
propaganda. It's a fact that
in Western Europe the own
ers of a forest must and do
plant a new tree for every
tree they cut down. 1t is also
a fact that No. l oak flooring
six years ago was less than
500 per thousand feet and
has risen to more than $500.
1t is also a fact that our
timber land today is produc-
ing annually less than one
third of what we consume.
Honestly, dear reader, our
virgin forests are going and
going fast. In another fifteen
or twenty years the yellow
pine of the South will be sing
ing a.duet with the dodo and
other extinct birds, the entire
country paying to hear the
song.
The Far Western forests
can supply the country's
timber needs for all time to
come-at a stiff price for
transportation-but only if
the present methods of forest
management are radically
changed. They could not be
changed while lumber was
sold at cost. Those costs
were based on skimming the
timber cream that rose to the
top in the last four hundred
years. When we grow our
timber as we consume lumber,
i will have to cost more, but
It's worth the extra expense.
There will come before the
impending extra session of
legislation to make
| start in the establishment of
national and rational
crest policy. If the Western
'ress wants paper at reasona-
lie cost. if it wants plenty of

NATIONAL, HOSPITAL DAY.

THURSDAY. May IL, is to be observed
throughout the United States as Ma
tional Hospital Day. The object of the
day is to encourage communities to be-
come more familiar with the service
which their hospitals can give, and to
aemaint the public with the needs OF
the hospitals. The day is set aside as
part of the great campaign for public
health in which governmental and pm
yate health organizations are engaging.
In communities where there are no
hospitals the day might well be made

SPEAKING OF DRIVES.

fBv The Associated Negro Press)
The eolored people of the United
States are now conducting a great
drive to increase the membership and
power of the organization known as
The National Association for the Ad,
yancement of Colored People. We have
been an observer at some of the meet
inRs. And one Of the most significant
things we have seen among them, was
little meeting in little ont-of the
way town. where the colored people
are a little element. There in French
Lick, Indiana, which il hard by the
little town Of West Baden and = its
rival as a watering place. There are
Only about three, hundred colored REQ
pie in those two towns put together,
most of them employed in the vast ho-
tells and spring resorts.
Ont of this 800 colored folk nearly
300 of them met at the *. of p. hall for
their n. "A. A. G. P. drive meeting.
And listened it had rained in torrents
all the afternoon and evening, SO that
most of MS would expect to see no col
Ored folks out. It was such a night as
.co1ored folk usually invade only when
there is to be popular wedding. But
there they were, crowding the little
hall beyond standing room, and with a
brass band by Catholic priest.
And listen again-inl addition to a
large number Of one dollar members,
they enlisted twenty-eight five dollar
members. three ten dollar members, and
twenty dollar members.
That is more than IS per cent of the
colored people Of two towns came out,
on the most inclement night, and more
than 10 per cent Of them took member
ships of five and ten dollars and more.

non the hearts of men by men who are
willing to make a supreme sacrifice.
After all we must play the stellar
role in bringing about our desire. We
alone are the sufferers. Whining and
CRYING will not bring it to pass. Curb
stone discussions and soap box oratory
will not lift the load. Accepting indi-
tvidual courtesies and withdrawing from
the mass will not beat back the wars.
Biennial indignation meetings accom-
panied with howery meaningless resoiu-
tions will not stem the tide. Neither
will violence and wanton destruction
serve as check upon the rape of our
citizenship. 1t is going to require prop
er organization, a clear understanding,
the establishment Of racial confidence
and a common knowledge of the ballot
backed up with finance and daily ac-
lions. We are going to have to watch
the actions of the city council. the
courts and the works Of the legislature
and state. officials, not one day but
every day. We are going to have to stop
waiting until one week before election
to begin to form our plans. We are
. going to have to stop voting Tor any
old candidate just because he is our
personal acquaintance without laying
before him the wants Of the Negro citi.
zens. It is those w.aKlings who have
allowed the growth of present condi.
tions. Put them out Of Office and keep
them out until we are thoroughly recog.
nized as balancing power.
In short let US plant acorns and stop
growing mushrooms. It is going to
take time, it is going to take patience,
it is going to take sacrifice and it is go
ing to take endurance. -Sow let us get
together and study the proposition thor.
