It is far worse that individual here and there

The Foresight Of Lloyd esora.

Lloyd-George is anything but pessmist The
world danger he sees is not imaginary. A combina-
ton of Germany and Russia is much more threaten
ing to the peace of Europe than was the over-ween
ing ambition of Germany to rule the world The
only hope lies the ability of statesmen to prevent
the and greater war-cloud from breaking
To that task the British premier gave himself
at Versailles at Cannes and wherever thereafter he
was brought into contact with the aims of France.
1t for that he sought to restrain France from
too vigorous enforcement of the terms Of the Paris
treaty; to combat French cooperation with Poland
1t for that purpose that he angered large Sec
tion of the British popuace years ago by an at-
tude Of tolerance toward Soviet Russia
His policy toward Bolshevism was one Of direc-
tion and not Of impossible suppression. It was
hateful to him as it was to his colleagues but
something that be given expression to
prevent an explosion. Therefore he urged federation
All this is explanatory Of the British course which
almost produced break with France over the Upper

force by ignoring.

Of the menace to Europe and the world Europe Is

Substitute For Wood

The United States Forest Service di-
rects attention to the substitution OF
other materials for wood. The per
capita consumption, says the Service,
has dropped from 800 board feet in 1906
to 316 board feet in 1920. This decreas-
ing use of fundamental commodity,
according to forests experts, is not a
result of decreasing needs but result
of forest exhaustion.
To quote again the Forest Service
"Even at the reduced rate of con-
sumption we are still cutting our for
ests more than four times as fast as
they grow. In general, the older and
more densely settled States show the
lowest average consumption. The
States characterized by heavy agricul-
tural operations come next. and the
greatest use per individual is indicated
in those States where there is still con-
siderable timber and where the extern
sion of home building is proceeding at a
rapid rate, using the abundant materia'
provided by the forests"
The States are going through an
evolutionary process, building first of
lumber and later of more costly ma
terials as the forests recede before fire
and axe.

TOWNSEND

A large crop Of pumpkins is nearly
ready for gathering on farms in this
and in surrounding localities. Several
of the canneries will pack pumpkins
this year.
The work of Transforming Main
street for its entire length from dirt
roadbed and having very rough sur
face to modern highway of concrete
by the contractors and their
efficient force is progressing rapidly
although but few days have elapsed
since the task was begun. The project
will require several weeks to reach
finish.
The tomato market continued to be
ruled by a good price, which has re-
mained at the same figure, that of 81
cents per basket for the past two
weeks, and two carloads are being
shipped daily from this locality. The
buyers say they will continue to take
all of the local grown tomatoes at this
figure until the first frost comes.
Growers are hopeful that they may
have two weeks more in which to get
their entire crop sold.
Making farm a source of revenue
rather than big liability is the task
that several wide-awake farmers ofthis
section have successful with in bring
ing to the front as good paying ones
and they have been complimented for
their efficient management by the
members of the farm bureau, from
time to time. These farms have been
made to supply crops and dairy pro-
ducts, not only for the towns that al e
nearby but for the public markets in
the cities as well. 1t is known further
more that in addition to general eff
cient management the hands who aic
in obtaining successful results are
shown every possible kindness and care
