LUMBER REPORT SHOWS
MARKET STILL STRONG.


The syital statistics" of the lumber
industry are production, shipments
and orders, according to the American
Lumberman., Therefore, a careful
study Of these figures and unbiased
deductions from the facts are Of dis
tinct aid to the lumberman who stud
les the market, Figures do not lie;
incorrect deductions drawn from fig
ures may do so, however.
In 1920 the forest service estlmat-
ed. lumber production in the United
States at SO, 79S.80O, 900 board feet
and for that year the, associations re-
porting to the National Lumber Man
ufacturers' association listed a pro-
duction of i ,761 goo, 900 board feet.
For 1921 the production of the same
associations reporting to the Nation
al Lumber Manufacturers association
was 8,156,951, 900 board feet. Using
the above figures and applying the
law of proportion, the cut of 1921 in
the United States is .estimatedeas be-

SPILL is NEEDED TO
BREAK TRIPLE TIE IN
WESTERN CONFERENCE

Chicago, Nov. 10. (by the Asso-
ciated Press) Only an amazing
spill of the dope can break the
triple tie for the western confer
ence championship which took a
firmer hold on the percentage yes
terday as Chicago, Iowa and Michi-
gan, the three leaders, defeated
dangerous opponents by convinc-
ing scores.
Chicago defeated Illinois 9 to 0,
Michigan triumphed over Wiscon-
sin, 13 to 6, and Iowa whipped
Ohio State, IL to .. Northwestern,
the only other conference team In
action downed Monmouth So to ~.
OF the three leaders Chicago
seems to have the hardest row TO
hoe and Iowa the easiest, for the
Maroons must defeat Wisconsin's
husky fighting eleven while Iowa
will face Northwestern, one of the
weaker teams. Michigan, the
third leader, will meet Minnesota
at Minneapolis. Next Saturday, the
closing day of the season, will see
every team In action against a con-
ference opponent as Ohio State will
meet Illinois at Urbana and Pur-
due will battle Indiana at Lafay-
cite.
Next Saturday Chicago will face
Wisconsin. a favorite because of
the Marron's victory over Illinois,
bbut Chicago's supporters are none
too optimistic and Wisconsin will
enter the game conceded an al
most even chance to win. The
Padgers showed both endurance
and scoring ability when they
crossed Michigan's hitherto un.
crossed goal line and seem TO be
the only team in the conference
capable Of breaking the tie,

REEVES DISCUSSION

Marysville, Calf. Nov. 49,

remembered Frank Bacon as a boy
about town, in the days when
Marysville was the principal relay
point of all stage lines moving to
the high Sierra gold mining towns
received news of his death in Chi
cago today with a mingled feeling
or disappointment and sorrow. For
a few of Franks personal boyhoo /
chums, now substantial ranchers,
had received assurances from him
that "Lightnin' would be played
first to an audience of his towns
people in Marysville. with Bacon
himself in the role Of "Bill Jones'
when the play came west.
News of his death revived a dis
cussion among the old timers to-
night which was started almost n
year ago in the Marysville Appeal
when residents of Yuba City, a
community Just across the Feather
river from here, asserted and sub
mitted well authenticated records
to support their contention that
Bacon was not born in Marysville.
but on a ranch in northern Sutter
county. where he first herded
sheep. Yuba City, being in Sutter
county, while Marysville is in Yuba
county. is anxious to claim the dis
tinctlon now held by this commu-

he turned away and trudged
slowly down the winding path Of
Young's memorial cemetery. and
motored to Roosevelt's home.
While others of the party rang

EDUCATION WEEK
DESIGNAT Ed BY
THE PRESIDENT
Period From Dec. 3 to 8 Set
Aside; Urges Closer Un-
derstanding Between the
School and Home.

Washington, Nov. 19.--President
Harding in proclamation made
public today at the White House
sets aside the week OF December
8 to 8 as American Education
Week. He recommends to the ap-
propriate national, state and local
authorities that they give their
cordial support and cooperation
and also calls upon parents TO en-
list themselves in behalf of closer
understanding between the school
and the home. The text OF the
proclamation follows:
1.-THE ideals of democratic gov
ernment and democratic education
were planted simultaneously IN our
country. The fathers rightly be-
lieyed that only a people trained
to vision of public needs ana duties
could develop and maintain the
institutions Of popular government.
The system of universal education
established in the beginning has
developed with the country and be-
come one of the characteristic tea-
lures of our life. In 1t we have
laid the foundation of that system
of American culture which has en-
abled us to absorb and assimilate
millions who have come to us frim
many countries, bringing the tradi-
tions of widely varying institutions.
"In order that we may keep In
mind the need constantly to i'm
prove our educational system it is
proposed that the week OF Decem-
ber 3-9, inclusive, be set aside fol
special observance as American
education week. 1t is recommend
ed to the governors of the states
that they cooperate with the edu-
cational and civil authorities of
their commonwealths to make the
week a period for revival of inter-
est in the broad work Of national
education"
