Il
truth presented in way that makes you stop
and think. The following from the Tampa Times
is one of the paragraphs
The lumber for Coney Islands new
boardwalk" which will be wider even than
the famous Atlantic City boardwalk, now is
passing through the ports of New Orleans and
Savannah, Ga, its way to New Yorks
playground where it will be fashioned into one
OF the popular attractions of that seaside resort.
Approximately fve-sxths OF the lumber to be
used in the construction OF this feature OF
Coney Islands will be Southern yellow pine
from the forests OF Louisiana and Florida.
Where are the forests OF New England and
New York State that they do not furnish the lum-
Der for this work? Those sections are next door,
to the playground The haul charges would be
small as would the handling charges. Did the
South outbid other sections for this business? No,
the other sections are importing lumber to keep
their factories going and not in the lumber cx-
porting market to any extent.
Coupled with this paragraph we read another
that France wants the allies to take over the Ger
mines and forests to help pay Germany s
debts The other day the French premier said a
moratorium would be granted if the mines and the
forests OF Germany placed in allied hands.
France knows the value OF timber and forest prod
uNtS' INC "HOlC NOIlu KNOWS now the invaders
carried away lumber and cut down forests during
the The whole world also knows how the
Germans ruthlcssy girdlcd and killed thousands
OF trees they could not use themselves In the
Black Forest OF Germany there is II per cent more
timber today than in 1914 when the war started,
according TO Charles Lathrop Pack president of
the American Forestry Association, who has sent
millions OF tree seeds to Europe to help reforest
ruined by the war in the hope that the
people of the United States would see the great
value OF maintaining that backbone of all industry,
fores: products. New Jersey pays S5yoooooo a year
in freight rates imported lumber What does
that to industrial centers? What does that
mean to the consumer who ultimately paws the
bill? Even the Lake States, once the greatest pro-
duccrs OF lumber, importing it to keep
their factories going.
Coney Island gets her boardwalk from Louisi-
New England imports lumber from the Pa
chc Coast to keep her factories going. We vote
money for Liberia, irrigation and what not. France
will take trees as security for war debts As Mr.
Pack says there is great lesson to be learned
in these paragraphs dealing with widely separated
parts OF the world The lesson must be learned
before it is too late. Why not vote some money
for putting millions of idle acres in this country to
work growing trees?

No need to ''gnash teeth" over

So long as women enslave them
selves in hampering skirts or ruin

In high-heeled shoes. they better
keep very quiet about their love

President Wilson would never

Elijah z. Knott's letter saying
millions hunger for what he can
tell. induces me 70 say. yes. there 10
many who would honestly like TO
have his inner secrets Of the war.
while there are 30 many. or rather
there were. who wanted it for
curiosity only.
Mr.. Knott thinks physical IN
ability the only 3ustihabls excuse
for Mr.. wilson's refusal 70 write
such book. think he acted wise
ly In not wasting further energy
OF writing to appease the curious.
The time isn't quite ripe for the
people TO duly appreciate what he
no doubt has in store. and Il would
imperil his life again even IL he
were assured such q publication
would tend TO hasten his ideals Of
q lasting peace.
No doubt IL would have been a
dimcult task TO write without
causing misunderstanding ana Of

have been another reason for his
