COMMON SENSE WILL PREVAIL

/ The U. S. National Bank of Port
land has this common sense view
in its business digest just issued:
I'VE are now, paying prosperity's
debts 1t was human nature 70
| run up bills during good times, and
I'VE did it. Now we are paying our
bills under pressure We borrowed
i50-cent dollars, SO to speak.-now
I'VE are repaying them with S5-cent
dollars, and as prices continue 20
como down, it will be necessary to
repay additional dollars obtained
in. boom times, with dollars which
will be twice as hard to earn. OF
course 1t is hard and the worst is
not over Though prices have fall
en- greatly, there is still further de-
flation to be accomplished. We
are paying the penalty for violating
economic laws, and all are guilty
from the Federal Government down
Extravaganza. perhaps justifiable
under the necessity of winning the
war, was the order of the day. For
several years, figuratively speaking,
we were borrowing ourselves rich.
Now we suffer because we must pay
back.
But our people are looking facts
in the face. The country is not
broke-it is merely bent. Common
sense and hard work honest
work-thrift and economy will pull
us out of the hole. 1t is time 20
take off our coats. go to work, take
our medicine no matter how bitter,
suffer our losses and benefit from
our experience. There have been
times before when financial eondi-
tions seemed almost hopeless. but al
ways common sense has prevailed,
and thus 1t will be again"

LUMBER VALUE OF PINE TREES
NOT HURT BY TURPENTING

The operation of turpentining pine
| trees does not lower the strength Of
the wood, according to information
obtained by the Forest Products
| Laboratory of the Forest Service
United States Department of Agri-
culture The crude turpentine, or
loleoresin, is not drained from a
reservoir in the tree, but is pro-
duced by the living cells in the sap
wood at or near the\spot where the
tcut is made on the trunk. No tur-
pentine is produced by the heart
wood because all of its cells are
dead. The heartwood may be satu-
rated in places with pitch. but this
does not readily flow out as does the
resin freshly formed in the sap
wood. The major part of the tree
is not affected in any way, and the
loss due to death of trees or to n
reduction or degrading of lumber
is very small when the proper meth
cd of turpentining is followed;
this loss is more than offset by the
additional revenue obtained through
Iturpentining. The greater part of
the wood that is Clipped away
would not have become finished
lumber, but would have gone into
slabs and edgings at the sawmill.
with proper treatment the turpen-
tined faces remain healthy, and the
wood underneath doe not become
saturated with resin to any great
extent

GARDEN WORK MEANS HEALTH
Benefits of Cultivation, Even of Small
Plot, Have Been Proved to
Be Many.

Community gardens have been en-
couraged in the city of Philadelphia
for the last twenty-three years, pri-
marily as means of helping people
to help themselves.
The same class of work has been
carried on in other cities for shorter
periods of time, with an equal degree
of success and satisfaction, according
to the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
The original object in every case
was to help the people to provide food
at home, but incidentally and un-
expectedly a number Of other benefits
which 10 their way have proved OF
greater value than the original pur-
pose have developed.
These have to do with the health
and pleasure Of the families of the
gardeners as result of their outdoor
exercise and contact with nature.
A game of golf is all right as a con
stltutional for those who can afford It,
The number, however, who play golf Is
small as compared with the thousands
of those who take their exercise and
outdoor life cultivating gardens.
The cultivation of the garden also
has the advantage that 1t adds to the
wealth of both the gardeners and the
nation.

The Small Town.

All America is watching the small
town, studying 1t, interpreting it. seek
ing through it to discover the depths
and intimacies of national life, asserts
a high school principal In Virginia.
It seems that whereas the small boy
still imagines the city as the place con-
tanning the great big things" of the
world, yet when he attains intelligent
and experienced manhood he contln-
ues to return to the village for the
really" big things which denote the
nations true character. Several years
ago. says the principal, even New
York forgot Broadway to listen to the
broken silences of Spoon river. and
the dramas and novels engaging the
attention of the most serious of the
metropolitan critics of today are those
dealing with the problems of the Main
street village. The country community
Is no longer obscure.

Proper School. Grounds.

When provision has been made for
the different playground activities the
attention should be turned to the
beautifying of the school grounds by
means of planting trees and shrubs.
This planting should be made for pro-
lection, such as a windbreak on the
sides from which the prevailing winds
blow, and for shade in the early days
of summer or fall. 1t will be neces-
sary to set the trees some distance
from the school building, probably 7a
or 100 feet distant, In order to give
room for the playground apparatus,
All planting should be kept close to
the boundary lines and the founda'
ton of the building.
