Growing Pressing Necessity.

NORTH WOODSTOCK, n. H, Sept.
Clifford Pinchot, president of the Ma
tional Conservation association and state
forester of Pennsylvania, today urged sup
port of national forest policy in an adj
dress at conference here under the aus
pices of the society for the protection of
New Hampshire forests.
1T is evident that the most necessary
step if we are to escape a timber famine
is to stop forest devastation on privately
owned timberlands and keep them growing
trees The little group of big timberland
owners has grown rich and powerful from
forest devastation and naturally does not
want it stopped. Accordingly they have
undertaken to secure the passage IN CON
gress of the Smell bill and are conducting
for that purpose an extensive propaganda.
The lumbermen know that the passage of
the Smell bill would leave them free to
continue the practice of forest devastation
which has made them rich while it has
brought the United States face to face
with poverty in forest supplies. The Smell
bill has behind it the interested support of
the lumbermen and the sincere. but / be
lieve mistaken backing of the present head
of the forest service. who himself admits
the superior effectiveness of federal con-

would appear thsre will be but little
use for the railroads except to haul
heavy freight, and much of this is
even now being transported by truck.
Considerable freight, vegetables and
the like, have already come over from
Kenneth in this way. 1t seems that
most everything is getting kinder
turned around, and new ways are
superseding the old Why, even the
people dress differently, particularly
the fair and tender half of our race.
But the drift has botten so great there
is no use to try to stop it. Best to
drive in.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1921-10-06

There has been more building or
ments in Hayti this year than any
town of it's size, perhaps, within a
radius of 100 miles. Several new
residences of the better grade are now
in the course of construction and
others are getting ready to build,
Streets are being hardsurfaced, aud
the work of putting down complete
system of water mains is being rush
ed to completion. Besides this.
there has been the construction Of
the public highways which has furn-
ished labor to a large number of men.
With this, and considering the good
prices paid for farm products, partic-
ularly cotton, we have not been
struck by the hard times we have
heard so much of in the papers. In
fact, we have considerably more to
be thankful for than we have to kick
about.

BLOOD WILL TELL IN AMERICA!
Fifty six years ago at AppomattoX
two great bodies of men, one clad in
blue and the other in tattered gray,
decided to stop fighting and live to-
gether in peace thereafter.
Few, alas, of those men are left.
The other day the boys" of the
Grand Army held their annual re-
union at indianapolis. Shortly, the
surviving fighters of the Confederate
army will meet at Chattanooga.
But it will not be long before these
handsful of glorious blues, and SUI
perb grays will be compelled by cir
cumstances to discontinue their ma
tional gatherings.
Well, they all belonged those
boys, to wonderful age in our his
tory. They made merica. For one
thing, their deeds of steadfastness
and valor in battle gave notice to
the whole world that this nation,
united, could not be trified with. And
the moment it was learned that their
grandsons were to join in the world
war, intelligent men everywhere
even in Germany-knew that con-
fict was all but over, over there.
The herioc blood of the men of
1876 courses through the veins
of millions of Goth Century Ameri-
cans. In the last analysis, both
the blue and the gray fought for de-
mocracy, and they who fear that
the descendants of such men will
permit autocracy of any breed
whether ancient Hohenzollernism or
mongrel Observation-Disclosures raise
its head in this land, are faint heart
ed Americans indeed.

back to the people there whom they

The Kenneth, Hayti and Carutn-

summer, is proving its worth and con-
venience these days by the number
of automobiles passing from Dunk
lin county to Caruthersville, where
the people of that county are dock
ing by the hundreds to attend the
Pemiscot County Fair which is in
progress this week. All this travel
used to go to the railroads, to which
the loss is considerable in the way of
passenger fare. When the full sys-
