less. take the place of our own hard
woods when they are gone.
''These tropical forests, however,
will probably remain undeveloped
on any large scale for number of
decades. The great variety of spe-
cies on each acre makes it expens-
i've and difficult to log the scattered
merchantable trees, and the little
known properties of the various
woods, the difficulty in seasoning
them, their heavy weight, and the
high cost of transportation, may
prevent their use in large quantities
to replace our own hardwoods. 1t
is doubtful whether the exploitation
of tropical hardwoods can come
soon and fast enough to meet our
pending shortage of sawlog mat
erial short of prohibitive COSTS"

gion Auxiliary, the Auxiliary of the
Disabled American Veterans, be-
sides that of the Aberdeen Hospital
Association, which is a combination
of number of welfare organiza-
tions. Three Contact Represent
atives from the u. S. Veterans
Bureau go to the hospital each day
to assist all patients in securing
their compensation and in making
all claims to the Veterans Bureau.
This work has been highly praised
by the patients. This work is es-
tablished on sound working basis,
due to the fact that these repre-
sentatives contact the man directly
in the hospital and then go to the
claimants record in the District Of
fee of the Veterans Bureau, there
by securing first hand information.
This gives immediate attention and
quick results.
The physical plant is cared for
by property custodian, two elect
ricians, one painter, five ;anitors
and five engineers.
The dietetic department, SO i'm
portant to sick men, is presided
over by three competent dietitians,
five cooks and fourteen walters.
The hospital maintains it's own
laundry with nine employees. 1t
utilizes the time of four telephone
operators, and maintains it's own
stockroom for supplies.
Besides the specific employees
already mentioned, it has so Others
in various and miscellaneous capac.
tiles, making total personnel, in
all grades, of 202. These, with the
500 patients make community OF
42S people, which would constitute
quite village by themselves.
To further illustrate this point
just take into consideration the ap
proximate quantities of food re
quired each month: 4732 pound.
of bread, 1866 pounds of butter
1912 Of chicken, 2433 of beef, l.,
$50 of pork, 1884 of veal, 1000 Of
ham and 424 of bacon; 1920 gal
Ions of cream, Al of buttermilk
2070 of milk, and 2130 dozer
eggs; add five bushels of potatoes
daily and two bushels of beets, tive
of carrots and two of onions fol
each meal, together with one ant
one-half crates of head lettuce, ant
you have some idea of the size O.

1t is easy to see, then, that tn,
boys whose war disabilities bring
them to this hospital are we'll pro
vided for from every standpoint
because care and efficiency are tn,
watchwords in its management.

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE
OPTIONAL PRIVILEGES

1t is quite generally thought that
once selection has been made under
the optional privileges of the Gov
eminent policies no change Of the
selection is possible.
The following will completely
dissipate all such ideas.
The insured may designate as the
beneficiary of his Term insurance
any one within the permitted class
of benefciaries. Under Term in
surance an original designation of
beneficiary OR A CHANGE of bene-
ficiary may be made by last will
and testament as we'll as otherwise
at the whim of the insured.
Under Converted insurance the
insured may designate as benefi-
ciary anyone within the permitted
class or his estate. An original
designation may be made by last
will and testament, BUT NO
CHANGE of beneficiary may be so
made. The insured is, however, at
perfect liberty to change his bene-
ficiary during his lifetime by any
other means than by last will and
testament.
If the insured has selected either
the lump sum, continuous or limit
ed installment payment method in
case of death he may change to
one of the other two methods at
any time. After the insured's
death the beneficiary may change
the method of payment from a
continuous instailment method or
he may change from the limited in
stallment to the continuous INSTALL
ment method. The converse is not
true.
After the insured converts his
Term insurance to the plan he
feels he can best afford to carry
he may again change the plan of
insurance at any time within five
years of effective date of his policy
provided he has not become totally
and permanently disabled This is
very valuable privilege as the in
sured may feel he wants to pur-
chase say a 20-Pay Life but the
money he has to invest in insur-
ance will not purchase as much of
this plan as it would on a straight
life plan.
This privilege will enable she in
sured to carry the maximum
amount of protection the money he
has to invest in insurance will buy.
He can purchase that maximum in
Ordinary Life insurance and if for
tune smiles upon him change all of
it say on the last day of the 5th
year to a 20-Pay Life plan by ad-
justing the reserve difference. He
will then pay premiums for Is
years longer at the 20-Pay Life
rate. This he can do without a
medical examination but to change
from policy carrying a higher
premium rate to an Ordinary life
he would have to be good risk at
time of reduction.

Silver State Is worthy of r~epro6uc.

JUSTICE COURT FINES
COMPLAINING WITNESS

Ii was a sort of short cut, or in a
sense summary justice, that was
melted out to Martin Knezovich this
week when he was fined s25 and
costs by Justice of the Peace ID. c.
Mcdonald. It seems that knezovieh
saw the point and paid the fine, and
that probably will end the matter.
Knezovich was in court as com
planning witness against Byron Bel
cher, who had spoiled his counte-
nance with a crib board. The men
were partners in a Riepetown resort
and had an argument. knezovieh
started to move out some OF the fur
niture. Bclcher took him by the
shoulder and led him 10 the door.
Then Knezovich went away and
came back with a screwdriyer, with
which he punched Beleher in tile
fo'castle and tapped him about the
pilothouse. That is when the crib
board came into the little squall and
Knezovich emerged with one broken
nose. Thereafter he departed and
returned with an ak. which did not
land seriously, and the argument
was adjourned to the justice court.
When these facts were brought
out at the trial Beleher. who is an
attorney in his own right, acting as
his own counsel. Judge Mcdonald
simply fined them s25 apiece. Bel
cher asked five days stay of exeeu-
tion to perfect an appeal and Knezo-
vieh could hardly express what he
wanted, but last of all was to have
to pay a fine.
PAY 1t or go to Jail" quoth the
court.
So the money was dug cut CT the
complaining witness inside pocket,
paid over to the court and away he
went, no doubt thinking it would be
more comfortable to be at large dur
ing his convalescence from the afore-
said fracture.
