WOULD BE REASONABLY BUSY
Small Girl About Right, II Bad Man
Did His Full Duty Without
Fear or Favor.

AS Mason Mount, superintendent of
the Howe button factory. of Peters
burg, was reading his evening paper,
his little daughter, Mary, age six, was
playing on the floor. Tiring of play,
she crawled to her fathers knee and
asked him:
Does the bad man get all the peo-
pie who are badi"
The father, not looking up from his
paper and little provoked by the In
reference, replied, II suppose"
The child studied for a minute, and
then said:
Does he burn them all up7 Some
little boys told me he did"
Again the father replied that he
supposed he did.
Again the child, not satisfied, asked
the father where they went after he
burned them all up.
The father, irritated. replied that
he supposed they all went to ashes.
The child studied for a few min
utes, and then said: Gee, he must
have an awful job carrying out ashes"

HENS IN GoOsEBERRY PATCH
Ing Out Fruit-Worm From Un-
der Trash in Garden.

One gooseberry insect we have with
us that isn't easy to control is the
fruit worm. 1t doesn't often become
a serious pest but occasionally 1t has
been known to take a whole crop.
The worm eats into the partly grown
berry and feeds on the pulp. Hand
picking is still the method used to hold
this worm in check. Poultry ought to
be turned into the gooseberry patch
after the fruit is picked, as the hens
will do n lot toward clearing the
worms from under the trash Poultry
and fruit are good combination
when run right.

LIVE STOCK FLY REPELLENT
Care Should Be Exercised to Prevent
Getting Mixture Too Strong,
Causing Hair Shedding.

When mixing renellent to put on
the live stock to keep the files away,
care should be taken to prevent get
ting too strong mixture. 1t may
cause shedding of tine hair. The fol
lowing mixture has been found by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture to give good results for a
short time where applied lightly but
thoroughly: One gallon of fish oil,
two ounces of oil of pine tar, two
ounces of oil of pernyroyal and one
half pint of kerosene. The horses
and milk cows will appreciate some
preparation.

has not come about because the for
ests have been used so freely but be-
cause of the failure tC use forest
growing land. In nutshell, the prob
lem is that the United States Is cut
ting wood out of its forests three or
four times as fast as 1t is being grown.
Much of the land on which timber
stands or has been cut off will always
be forest land. II is ample to grow
all the wood needed for the use of the
people of this country and for export
trade In lumber and products manu-
factured from lumber, If the land can
be kept at work growing trees. Tim
ber for the future Is simply matter
of putting idle land to work.
Every reasonable encouragement
should be given to the landowner to
grow timber on his own account In
the ways best suited to his own pur-
poses, but by some means or other the
public must see to 1t that forest lands
not needed for agriculture do not lie
Idle. The regulations imposed must
Je reasonable and equitable. Obvi-
ously the owner of the land cannot do
1t all. The public must aid him In
overcoming the hazard of forest fires
and must recognize that the present
methods of taxing forests in many
regions are equivalent to taxing a
farm crop twice a week during the
growing season.

IMPORTANT NEED
FOR MORE TREES
ihree-Fifths of PrimevaI Forests
Have Been Cut Away, Says
Forester Greeley.
SUPPLY OF WOOD NECESSARY
Despite Fact That Many Substitutes
Have Been Devised Demand for
Timber Continues to Grow
Much Land Is Idle.

prepared by the United States Depart-
ment OF Agriculture)
Timber depletion has now reached u
point In this country where three
hfths of the primeval forests are gone
and where 81 per cent of the timber
that is left is west of the Great Plains,
Col. w. b. Greeley. chief forester. for
est service of the Department of Agri-
culture of the United States, recently
told the members of the Chicago AS
ISOLATION of Commerce.
Liberal use of American forests was
a necessary part of the commercial
growth of this nation, Colonel Greeley
believes, but refOrestation should have
been practiced, If not from the start,
at least in late years. There is an
abundant area Of forest land in this
country to support all industries, and
liberal supply of wood is most nee
essary to the people of this country
II was thought that, like the European
countries, we would use when our civ
ilization was older, but one-third or
one-half as much wood per capita as
we did in the early days. But this
rule does not affect the American peo-
pie. The older the states and com
munities in this country grow the
more timber they seem to require in
one form or another.
Demand Continues to Grow.
Many substitutes have been devised
for wood, and yet the great demand
of the country for timber continues to
grow. More wood is used in construc-
tion today than before the discovery
of concrete. and more wood is used in
building railway cars than before the
steel or part-steel car was developed.
This Is apparently true in nearly every
industry.
Abundant and widely distributed
forests have meant to the United
States homes for the masses of the
people beyond the standards of any
other nation. They have placed news
papers and magazines on the average
family table. They have contributed
largely to social and Industrial condi-
tions which promote democracy and
constructive energy rather than dis
content and destructive social forces
bred by hard and comfortless condi-
tions of life.
The idleness- of 81 100000 acres of
forest land, an area increased by s.
100000 to 100000 acres annually,
destructive logging, and still more de-
structive forest fires are the factors at
work to increase the timber shortage.

SPECIAL MESSAGE ASKS CON.
eREss TO PROVIDE BETTER
CREDITS FOR FARMERS.
CONGRESS IN ACTION
BILL EMBRACES POWER TO Ao-
VANCE CREDITS FOR AoRl-
CULTURAL EXPORTS.
cw.n.ru Newspaper Union New, Service,

Washington. July 27-Partial re-
sponse was made Immediately by Con-
gress to special message from Presi-
dent Harding requesting that powers
of the War Finance Corporation be
broadened to take charge of funding
upwards of s500,00O,0O0 of railroad
debts, and to provide additional farm
credits.
The President in his message de-
clared that the government was 'mor-
ally and legally bound" to fund the
railroad debts, and was under ian i'm
pelling moral obligation" to provide
agricultural credits.
The first step toward meeting the
second of the two requests-provision
for additional farm credits-had been
taken in the Senate before the mes
sage was read. Senator kellogg, Re
publican, Minnesota, introduced bill.
drafted by Secretary Hoover and d.
rector Meyer of the War Finance Cor
poration, and said to have the ap-
proval of the President as substitute
for the pending Norris bill to create
a S1000O0,OOO farm export corpora
ton.
The bill embraced the Presidents
suggestions to empower the War
Finance Corporation, instead of a new
federal corporation. as provided in the
Norris bill, to advance credits for ag-
ricultural exports.
The message dealt particularly with
railroad financing, and declared the
proposal that the War Finance Cor
poration take charge OF funding the
railroad debts to the government
would cause mo added expense, no
added liability, no added tax burden"
The President described the proposal
as "a simple remedy" contemplating
receipt and disposition by the corpora
tion of "ample securities" deposited
by the railroads.
The message was referred by the
Senate to its interstate commerce com
mittee, but Chairman Cummins, In i'll
health. was out of the city, and when
the railroad legislation would be
taken up was in doubt. Leaders, how
ever, expected action within the next
fortnight. Several senators stated prl-
vately that they would fight the legls-
lation.
Senator Kellogg said that the bill
drafted by Secretary Hoover and Di-
rector Meyer had the approval of the
Treasury Department It would au-
thorize extensions of credit to produc-
ers or their associations, exporters and
also to bankers for agricultural export
purposes Besides the finance corpo-
rations of 100000, 600 n revolving
fund-it would be authorized to issue
$1,000. 100000 on bonds
Champions of the Norris bill, how
ever, continued their fight in its be-
half, but with amendments made by
the agriculture committee designed to
meet objections raised. The amend
ments would eliminate provisions said
to give the proposed corporation power
TO buy and sell farm products. The
committee also reduced the bond is
sue authorization from S1,000O000oo
to S500,000OO0.

to procure ohe. and when one is
needed for a dance we have to
pay at least fifty dollars.
Miss Remsburg directed the or.

instructor. just as in coaching our
girls basket ball team, We should
thank her for her efforts in helping
us develop such a good orchestra.
