Chicago yearly. 1t is the greatest
lumber market of the world. Thirty
years ago it was supplied by the album
dant forests of the Central and Lake
States and the freight charge on the
average thousand feet of lumber COM
ing into the city was well under $500.
Today, with the bulk of the lumber
shipments coming from the far south
or the far west. the average freight
bill is not less than SIS per thousand
Feet. The lumber users and distrib-
utors of Chicago Ere paying from
twenty to twenty-five million dollars
a year in added traffic charges because
the sawmills in nearby states have
cut and moved on. And for every
dollar of this excess freight, there is
an acre of idle forest land within
three hundred miles of Chicago's lum-
Der yards.
Warning Given
Because of unemployed forest land,
We are draining our timber resources
six times as fast as they are being
replaced. Because of this, we today
feel the slowly Tightening grip of a
national timber shortage. The idle
ness of forest land is making it more
difficult and costly to house our people,
to supply our newspapers and maya
zines with paper, to maintain our
manufacturing industries that depend
upon wood. 1t were well to heed the
writing on the wall. We should view
the unemployment of acres exactly
as We view the unemployment of hui
man labor
| The answer is not far to seek. For
estry is no longer fanciful theory
1t has become the concern of the ev-
ery-day business man. We are pre-
eminent as a nation of timber-users.
We must become a nation of timber
growers. Once the business man
grasps that fact and puts his support
behind nationwide forestration, the
problem of timber supply will be in
a fair way toward solution. There
is forest land a-plenty in the United
States to build her houses, supply her
factories, and print her newspapers,
if it is kept at work growing trees.

OLD STUFF

When bootlegger comes along and
whispers to the old topper that he has
something especially fine for him, he
tells how old his stuff is, and the older
the stuff, the more authority it has.
We hear SO much loose talk about how
much booze one can buy, that we won
der if these loose takers have for
gotten how many died as the result
of illicit liquor sold in the cities during
the holidays. And we repeatedly read
of this man or that going totally blind
because he believed what some muir
derer said about bottle of booze, or
he believed the phony label on a bot
tie.
There are of course many who talk
idly about the failure of Prohibition,
and really don't talk about much else,
but for every one who denounces it's
failure, there are dozens of former
drinkers who are thankful for the pass
ing of the saloon, who take the pay
check to the mother of their children
and are proud that their children are
better dressed and better fed than they
ever were in the so-called good old
days" And if the father is glad, how
much happier are the mothers, for
where is the mother who would rejoice,
let alone vote for the return of the
alcoholic drink, whether it be light
wines and beer or the return of whis-
key. And all these fathers and moth
ars have vote

MOTHER

Each one of us has had a mother
some are gone but none can be for
gotten.
Mother started us out in this life,
worried over us at night, worked over
us by day, put US to bed and prayed
for US that we might walk in the
straight and narrow path.
We have reached our majority We
have done our best to remain in paths
she taught us in childhood to tread
and are, many of us, helping younger
mother to direct the next generation
along the lines mother taught US.
But, are we doing all we should for
mother?
If alive, do we write her often e.
nough? Does she know where you
are? Are you doing for yourself what
she would want you to do?
She taught you loyalty to your coun-
try, to your family, to your fellow
man. Can you look her square in the
face and say 81 am loyal"
If she has passed on and is watch
ing you in spirit as she did for years
in person, can you look back and say
Mother, | did my part"
No-not if you are an |. w. w.
No-not if you are disloyal to your
country and to your country's flag.
No-not if you are not loyal to your
fellow man.
If you are not all of these, you are
not loyal to your mother and not loyal
to yourself.

TREES

L think that | shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing
breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray:
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain.
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
Sut only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer.

The Reportaof Director Dawes

Director Dawes of the budget bureau expects
TO save $1,60oO0O,00O from the gross expendi-
lures of the government during 1922 as COM
pared with 1921. Interest in his report attaches
not so much to his estimated saving as it does
to the fact that a beginning has been made to
operate the government on a business basis.
Director Dawes and President Harding are
finding many obstacles in their way in putting
through the program of retrenchment which
they have inaugurated Powerful influences are
trying to maintain the old system which cost
the taxpayers millions of dollars annually.
Observers of the methods and activity Of
Director Dawes predicted that he would not be
able to accomplish what he had set out to do,
but his report, as well as his reputation for see
ing things through, do not bear out the predic-
lions of his critics.
The people generally would like to see him
make an excellent showing, for every dollar he
saves means dollar less in taxes, which, in the
end, will bring about reduction in the tax rate
from which the entire country is suffering.

a political director of the newspaper
Pravda. But at the Genoa conference
he is acting as Premier Lenin's On
fidential adviser and ambassador.
He first drew attention at the eco
nomic pow-wow when he reversed sew
eral decisions of Foreign Minister
George Tchitcherin. Of course his
mysterious manner may have caused
some exaggeration of the power he
exerts. but it is said that by word he
can halt a decision of the soviet dele
gates until the matter is laid before
Lenin in Moscow.
That Lenin should place this con-
fidence in Preobrajensky when the
latter has made it clear he is against
a moderate" policy in making conces-
sionS to the capitalists shows another
fearless trait in Lenin's makeup. Preo-
brajensky has stated that he would
prefer Withdrawing from the confer
ence in preference to making any i'm
portant concessions.

Preserving Historical Matter

Efforts are under way in Preble county to-
obtain the site of fort ST. Clair to preserve it for
its historical associations. It is one of the most
important points in the early history of that
county, and although little remains of the for
ner fort, residents of the county are anxious to
own the land and erect memorial.
One by one the old historical landmarks of
eastern Indiana and western Ohio are disappear
ing just as the men and women who linked the
present with the pioneer days are rapidly pass
ing away.
The present generation is remiss in its love
for the historical points of interest and is per-
hitting many an important place in the develop
ment of our community to disappear.
The marking of the spot where Henry Clay
delivered memorable speech in Richmond was
fifty marked number of months ago, but there
are many more spots of historical Importance
that are receiving no attention.
Centerville has number of places that are
intimately associated with Oliver P. Morton,
Indiana's great war governor, and in Richmond
are to be found spots that should be marked
and preserved for the coming generations.
The value of preserving objects of historical
importance is underestimated. They may mean
nothing to us, but they are of inestimable value
to the historian. Many an obscure point of QUE
state and county history could be cleared up if
the data had been preserved and a record kept

And you frown as you notice the
