More justly than Hamlet the present
generation may complain that the
times are out of Joint. Never. we sup
pose, has the world been SO generally
disturbed. Crime and mystery are
rampant, says the London Daily Ex-
press. Thrilling human stories of muir
ders, suicides, thefts and disappear
ances have become SO commonplace
that we have gradually ceased to
realize them. Not only England. but
France. Italy. Germany. and the Unit
ed States tell the same tale. The rea-
son Is not far to seek. The world II In
ferment. New Ideas. new standards
Of morality claim the attention Of
mankind. Not for the first timel In Z
few years the ferrnent Will subside
and the old-established conventions
which In reality change very little
will once more command general allie
glance.

II may be that the $50 marks offered
at auction In Berlin for a wax figure
OF President Wilson does not represent
an imposing number Of dollars. but the
important thing Is the relative prices
paid, says the Philadelphia Record. It
is so marks more than was paid for
the effigy Of Marshal Joffre, and It Is
really astonishing that SO good a price
was paid for the victor Of the frst
battle Of the Marne. and much more
30 that 1OO5O marks was paid for tho
present French premier. The indi-
vldusl extremes were $4,000 marks for
the recent kaiser. and one Russian
ruble for kerensky. But the star
price was 1900 marks for q lot Of
noted criminals. How many there were
of them we are not told; but even II
there were many. the fact that the
rogue's galley in the aggregate brought
five times as much as William Hohen-
zoliern Is notable. and 1t adds to the
extensive evidence that while mankind
ought to be chiefly interested In saints,
1t really finds the criminals much
more interesting.

the general weakness caused by high

OBJECTIONS RAISED TO
SUNDAY DEMONSTRATION

MATAWAN, May 18:-Resolutions
were passed in the Protestant
churches Of this borough last Sum-
day calling upon the Matawan
township committee to rescind its
action in granting to the Italian
Columbus Society the right to hold
the st. Lupo celebration on Sunday.
According to the original announce
ment of the plans for this event,
the opinion arose that the celeb
ration including fireworks, band
concert and carnival was to be held
on Sunday, June 80. The resolution
and was adopted by a standing vote
by the congregations in the First
Methodist, First Presbyterian and
First Baptist Churches.
Since the resolutions have been
adopted, it has been learned that
the society had no idea of holding
the entire festivities or Sunday but
had only contemplated holding
sacred band concert on that day,
the fireworks, carnival and popular
band concert, as well as the parade
to be held on the following Mon
day. The resolutions have been for
warded to the township committee
and they will probably be taken up
by that body at its next meeting.
The st. Lupo Day celebration by
the italian Columbus Society is one
of the big events of the local Ital-
ians. The affair has become an an
nual occasion and the fire works,
which are some of the best seen in
this section of the country, always
draw a large crowd of people. The
event this year, it is said. will be
bigger than any heretofore attemp-
ted.

Shortage of Lumber
Is Serious Problem

1920 was p per cent.
During the same period the popu-

per cent. The per capita consump-
ton of lumber has dropped steadily
and constantly from more thin 500
feet per year in 1907 TO 516 feet per
year in 1920-about three per cent
per year. BY 1890 it IS predicted
that the amount of timber used by
each person in America will be less
than that used by the inhabitants of
Russia.
In spite of the decrease in per
capita consumption, the price OF
lumber has increased to such an ex-
tent that the average American now
Is forced to pay three times as much
in dollars as in 1890, for an amount
Of lumber one-sixth less than ne got
in that year. Even in terms Of other
commodities, the cost of the per
capita consumption in 1920 was
more than that of a larger per capt.
Ia consumption thirty years before.

Texas. is still in the lead but it's pro-
duction is falling each year; the
peak of productivity Of the North
Carolina pine area has been passed.
So the lumber cut has decreased,
and at the same time the area of
production has moved farther and
farther away from the great consum-
ing centers of the east. Practically
one-half the lumber used in this
country goes to the states east Of
Iowa and north of Tennessee. The
average haul, which has been here
tofore from 500 to 1000 miles, has
increased to from 1000 to 5000

New Jersey although never n

that time. her production has drop
