Meeting at Cicero, Ill.

Louis J. Engdahl of Chicago, editor
of The Worker, and two other speak
ers at an Anti Fascist meeting in
Cicero, H., on Oct. II, were arrested

the police that the American govern
ment would not be mentioned in any
connection.
Another gathering to test the right

Worlds Timber Resources
Being Steadily Exhausted

The United States can not depend
upon the forests of other countries to
augment its own timber supply, &C
cording to the Data presented IN
Forest Resources of the World" a
new book written by forest ecOnOm-
is the United States Department OF
Agriculture. This comprehensive
study of world timber conditions
shows that the worlds requirements
of sawtimber will double within the
next fifty years if the rate of increase
during the past few years is main
tanned. Moreover, as the rate OF tim
Der growth is equal to only twO-thirds
of the amount of wood consumed, the
total supply is continually shrinking.
"The most pressing forest problem
from a world standpoint is the neces-
sitv of providing adequate future sup
plies of soft-wood timber" states the
book. ''This can be done by using all
of the forest land for the continuous
production of timber crops. At pres
ent only 10 to Is per cent of the
worlds timberland, is so handled, the
rest being regarded as a mine val
liable only for the timber now stand
ing on it"
This new book which is not publish
ed by the Government, confirms the
earlier statements of the Department
of Agriculture, that this country can
not depend upon imports of the great,
all purpose softwoods when its own
supply is gone.

CANCER CAMPAIGN
WEEK FOR MON
TANA NOV. 7-l3
Purpose of Cancer Week


About ten years ago a few men and
women organized themselves into a
society to teach the plain facts about
cancer; for it was clear that many
cases of this disease could be cured II
the ignorance and Indifference with
which it was commonly regarded IN It's
early stages could be dispelled.
This society which began in small
wav is now one Of the largest and
most influential public health agencies
in the world and its educational cam
paign has reached a large part of the
population Of the United States. Zach
wear as a part Of its work the society
initiaes, through the state chairman
and a series of county chairmen, an
educational campaign to spread the
knowledge Of the dangers, the pre-
vention and the treatment of cancer.
DIR. Louis Fligman, member of the
State Board of Health, is chairman
for Montana, and Dr. H. ID. Bonenss,
Director Child Welfare Division, State
Board of Health, is assistant chairman
Inquiries and communications con-
corning Cancer Week should be sent
to either of the above.

Catania, Italy, June ,20.-Some Of
the latest reports from the country,
side stricken by Mount Etna's erup
tion gives rise to the hope that the
fury of the mountain may hav,
passed its period of greatest inten~

and Linguaglossa.
The quantity of ash emitted by the
crater is now more abundant thar
ever. 1t penetrates everywhere and
burys the entire landscape under a
powdery blanket.
Indeed the whole region has taken
on note of warning ard sadness
which together with the oppressive
smoke gives the country the aspect
of dead land.
One by one the little towns thai
cling to the mountains outermost
points have been evacuated, Their
inhabitants fleeing with such OF

can carry. However, the road to the
towns more remote from Etna were
strewn with the possessions of the

Thousands of the homeless refu-
