prepared by the United States Department

Approximately S15O,OOO,OOO worth of
surplus war materials, turned over by
the War department to the Depart
ment of Agriculture, were distributed
through the bureau of public roads to
the various states for bodybuilding
purposes up to November 1 last.
Under the Wadsworth-Kahn bill this
surplus war material is sent to the
states with the sole provision that it
be used only for bodybuilding pur-
poses. A vast accumulation of ma
cbinery, equipment, supplies and mo-
tor vehicles that was to have been
used in France has thus been diverted
TO a useful peace-time purpose.
Included in the supplies distributed
among the states are 27,19S motor
vehicles. mostly trucks; 172 lOcomo-
tives of various sizes; $4,000 gross
tons Of rails; more than 100000
pounds of powder; and nearly 10000

HOW MANY TREES A DAY
THE PUBLIC READ?

The paper you are reading was
once a tree. The average newspaper
is printed on what is commonly called
newsprint and it is made from pulp
wood.
The annual consumption is two
million tons of newsprint a year, &C
cording to the American Forestry
Association, and that means a strip
of paper as wide as the regulation
newspaper and about forty million
miles long; half the distance of the
sun, which is ninety-two million miles
away. The annual consumption
would make a two-foot wide ribbon
of newspaper around the world 1900
times. Some trees!
More than one-third of our pulp
wood comes from across the Cana
dian border, and Canada, profting by
our mistakes, is now taking steps to
forbid the cutting of timber at a rate
more rapid than it's growth. That
means primarily that our annual i'm
portation of Canadian pulpwood has
practically reached the maximum,
and for the other two-thirds at least
we will have to look after ourselves.

WHO MAKES LIFE HARD FOR
YOU AND ME?

Are you yawning, Friend Reader?
OF course, the discussion of condi-
tons in remote countries is a bore,
but imagine how interested you
would be if on lifting your eyes from
this page you suddenly saw an armed
burglar ransacking the drawers in
which the family treasure is kept.
That would rouse you to action i'm
mediately.
Well, in the past two years you
have lost, you are losing right now
through the European mess a great
deal more than a thief could possibly
carry off. And you will continue to
suffer loss until an honest, sincere
effort is made by all hands to clean
UP.
1t all goes back to the fact that the
price of and the demand for our basic
products like cotton, wheat, iron,
copper, beef, pork, wool, leather,
etc, depend largely upon the condi-
ton of the world market.
Whoever keeps Europe in turmoil
is taking money out of YOUR pocket.

MUST CUT BASIC COMMODITIES

That farmers are not the only ones
who realize that rate cuts must be
on basic commodities is shown by a
brief submitted by the National As
sociation of Retail Clothiers to the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The viewpoint of this organization,
which represents 5000 retailers, is
expressed as follows:
sWe believe that this is not the
time for a horizontal reduction IN all
freight rates. We believe instead
that all reduction possible at this
time should be centered on farm
products, farm machinerg, steel and
iron, coal and such basic commod-
tiles. We stand unqualifedly for a
reduction in rates on all basic COM
modities where it can be shown that
present rates are interfering with
the free movement of freight and
where such reductions will tend to
restore confidence, to promote buy
ing, and to decrease costs. We be
lieve, with substantial reductions in
basic commodity rates, return to
normal conditions viii be fastened.

IMPENDING SALARY CUTS FOR

The average minimum salary paid
TO teachers in the district schools of
Kansas is $73.41, according to fig
ures supplied by eighty-three county
superintendents in Kansas. The
average maximum salary is $13495.
The average minimum tax levy for
1922 is Leg mills, and the aver
age maximum levy is HOO mills. The
minimum figure includes many dis
tricts which will operate next year
without a tax levy for rural schools,
districts where funds still remain
from the taxes paid this year.

the low salaries offered, and the pos

A comparison of the school tax
aevies in the rural and city schools of
the state shows that the rural school
levy is many mills less than the levy
paid in first, second or third cIsasI
cities. The average minimum levy
for district schools is 1.66 mills and
the average maximum, 11.O9 mills.
In cities of the first and second class
the average levy is 14,6O8 mills, and
IN cities of the third class it is 11.77I
mills. In the cities the school tax
levy is made every year, but in many
rural districts the minimum levy is
made only every other year.
