ADDRESSES STUDENTS
AT TEACHERS COLLEGE
District Forestry Representa-
tive Clearly Tells Need of
Reforestation

The students of the State Teachers
college were favored with an address
last Saturday by H. w. Wheeler,
chief of Public Relations Of the dis
trict forestry Office with headquarters
at Denver, Colo. ..
= Mr.. Wheeler elaborated upon
the denudation Of forests and graph
ically outlined the causes Of floods
in the various sections Of the country
= "There are thirteen million acres
of land in Minnesota which are good
for nothing else but REPRESENTATION -
said Mr.: Wheeler. "Fires are pre-
ventable III a large measure" ne con-
tinued," and are caused largely by
human carelessness.-
1--WE should guard our lumber sup
ply. At present we. are consuming
more lumber as a state than we are
manufacturing and we are cutting
it four times as fast as we are grow
ing it, which condition is serious
matter to the future lumber business
Of the state. a.: - =
II strongly advocate the growing
of municipal forests. By: this do
not mean that we should preserve
small groves, but rather large tracts
for timber growing purposes. We
should also preserve the young
growth and cultivate only such lands
for agricultural purposes as are best
adapted for it. There is plenty of
land for both and with the proper
fire protection there is no danger in
keeping up the timber crop and still
avoid disastrous fires"
Mr.. Wheeler left for Duluth and
other points Of the state. he being on
a wind-up tour of his speaking en-
gagements.

The Pneumonia Month

March is a typical month and usually
gives high rate of mortality for the
disease. After long and hard winter,
the system loses much of its resistance
and people grow careless. When ev-
cry cold, no matter how slight, is given
prompt and intelligent attention, there
is much less danger of pneumonia. 1t
should be borne in mind that pneu-
monia is a germ disease and breeds
in the throat. Chamberlain 8 Cough
Remedy is an expectorant and cleans
out the germ ladened mucus and not
only cures cold but prevents its re-
sulting in pneumonia. 1t is pleasant to
take. Children take it willingly.

NEARING COMPLETION

A crew of so men, engaged in clear
ing out the O.-W. r. & N. tunnel be-
tween here and Mosier, the wooden
lining of which burned out last sum-
mer, and facing it with concrete. will
complete the task in the next three
weeks, according to J. H. Fredricy.
The work being done under contract
by the Young Mcdonald Co., will cost
an approximate $65, 200. The men
have experienced some delays because
of the disintegration of the rock walls,
of a kind of block formation instead
of columnar.
Traffic of the rail line has been
routed over a shoo-fy track around the
promontory. penetrated by the tunnel,
since the fire last summer.

Tom Draak, Belgian grappler. who lost a wrestling match to Cliff Binck- ley at the B. A. C. last week, when he left the ring and refused to come back. is anxious to meet Binckley in a return bout. Draak and BinclS- lev -tarted a fight in the ring and u4esk left after the two had been parted. BinclSley was awarded the decision when Draak refused to come back ito the ring.
 aesss what Draak writes from Nasnyine concerning the matter: sports Editor, Age Herald. Birming-
 ham, Ala:
 Dear Sir: After considering the many requests that nave been made upon me by the Birmingham fans that I again meet Binckley in your city I want to give you my own proposition for bout with the Ohio champion.
 T am willing to again meet Binck- ley in your city providing the club will assure me that ample police pro- tection will be furnished to safe guard me while I am in the ring. will gladly post forfeit guarantee ing a clean bout provided BlnclSley will do the same. He continually gouged my eyes and nose during the last match and was entirely respon- sfble for the actions of the fans. I can beat Binckley and would be pleased to show my many friends and supporters in Birmingham that am a better man than ever was be- fore.
 Any time the club sees fit to arr range a match and include the above provisions in a contract l will wres- tie Binckley on winner take al, basis. Very truly yours.
 THOMAS DRAAK.r
 Draak and Binckley were putting up one of the hardest wrestling matches ever seen in Birmingham when the big blow-off came. and a return bout between the two would probably prove one of the best yet.

 With the arrival of Molesworth business, along baseball lines, is ex peeted to pick up, and plans wound up for the 1922 campaign in the South ern league.
 smith Arrived Yesterday
 Proxy W. D. Smith, president of the Birmingham club, has been spending some time on his farm at Springville, and returned to Birmingham yester- day afternoon.
 Billy West, secretary of the club Is in Pittsburg to work with Barney Dreyfuss in drawing up a trial sched ule for the Southern league" it has been said. Whether or not there is anything else at the bottom of Billy's visit to Piratetown will develop later. Birmingham has sent a lot of ball players to Pittsburg during the last year or two. and 1t Is not at all i'm possible that the Pirate boss will kick in with a little help to the Barens.
 A couple of pitchers and an inield CT or two would come in mighty handy along about March 10, when spring training begins.

 ond half and soon had the score al-
 most even. When the score stood 20 to IS in favor of Springville these
