ILLNESS, the loss OF her position, and
finally her trying her hand at selling
books. Through it all Bertha could
see the brave spirit of the girl and the
untold hardships that she had endured
during the time since her illness. She
could also detect how near to despair
the little agent had been when she
came to her door.
Then Bertha Prescott did another I'M
heard of thing for her-she told the
little agent of the loneliness in her
heart and of the little girl she had
lost in the long ago, and of how emp
ty her life had been ever since. And
when she had finished she asked the
girl if she would not stay with her
through the Christmas time, and there
was a genuine appeal i'm her eyes and

in 1920. This decline in the con-
sumption OF wood unquestionab.y
means decline in the standards of
living. OF this declining >standard
the shortage of housing is an i'm
prcssive example.
THE shortage of lumber, with it's
coroiiary of high prices, has followed
the westward cweep of numbering,
while the bulk Of our population and
the greatest demands for lumber re-
main in the central and eastern
states. The nations lumber ship
mcnt in 1920, Il recent Forest Service
study shows. was no less than O.
100000 carloads: and the average
haul for each carload was 4SJ miles.
According to the best estimate the
Forest Service is able to make, the
freight bill on lumber for that year
was $4,000, 900. This sum merely
gives one measure of the cost Of
treating our forests as mines instead
of timber farms. A fraction of this
sum wisely invested each year in
forest protection and rehabilitation
would grow timber where it is needed,
reduce the national freight bill,
cheaper lumber, and release vast
amounts Of railroad equipment and
labor for unavoidable transport. Coal
and iron cannot be grown, but timber
can be.

Nation Taking
Stock Of Its
Forests and Woods

Washington, Jan. Gas never be-
fore the world is taking stock of what
it needs, Chief Forester William +.
Greeley says in his annual report.
Not the least indispensable of these
things is wood, he says. and to take
stock Of how much wood we have and
what we shall need is an important
step in determining our future atti-
tude toward our forests.
'As background to this broad in
curry" Colonel Greeley continues,
forest service Investigators have re
Gently completed unique and eX-
hauStive compilation of the forest re-
sources of the world. One startling
revelation is that so far as our great
structural and all purpose woods
the sOftWOOdS-are concerned, we
must become self sufficient or go
without. Siberia has great forestcd
areas, vet if all the Siberian timber
were at the undisputcd call of the
United States the quantity available
for annual export would hardly
amout to one fourth Of our demands.
Further, a Sreat part of the forests
OF Siberia lie within the interior of
the continent and never will be avail
able. There is an immense reservoir
of hardwoods in the tropics, which
can be used for limited and special
purposes and secured at mahogany
prices. But the struggle for the
worlds supply of softwoods will be-
come more and more intense, aud
those nations will fare best that pru-
IDENTIFY use their suitable waste lands
for growing coniferous woods. This
study skaters the dream of those
who rely on importing the timber we
need when our own is gone.
The situation is not hopeful when
we turn to our own forests. There
has been a marked and fairly steady
decline in our national output of lum-
Der from about 46,00O,000,00O board
feet in 1906 to less than $4,000, 100000
board feet in 1920. This downward
trend, which seems unlikely to turn
permanently, upward again at any
time that can now be foreSeen, has
taken place in spite of a large in
crease in population, with its in
creasing demand for housing, furni-
ture, and wood in many other forms.
The decline in the production of lum-
Der and the increase in population
have resulted in q striking drop in
the per capita consumption Of lum-
over 500 board feet per
person in 1906 to about $40 board feet
