UNITED STATES DEPENDENT
UPON PRODUCTS OF FOREST,

The great dependence of the
American people upon the products
of las waning \forests is the inn
portant reason assigned by Col.
Allen S. Peck, District Forester,
Forest Service, Denver, Colorado,
for the observance of Forest Pro
lection Week. There is not a
moment of the day during which we
do not rely on wood in some form
for comfort and convenience. There
is not a single business transaction
from the purchase of a box OF
matches or newspaper to the sale
of improved real estate or from
payment for a railroad ticket to
the payment of taxes which does
not involve some important product
of the forest and which does not re-
fleet accordingly the growing scar
city of this important class OF mat
e1ial. In the face of these facts
we are witnessing the destruction
of our forests about four times as
fast as they are being replaced by
growth. 1t would show a very fine
spirit for us to preserve our forests
for their value to future genera
lions Out we Can IletIu SIdiiAA sum
lofty motives when the need for
forest preservation is forcing its
way to the attention of every self
supporting citizen, no matter what
it's particular line of work.
A large portion of the timber
which is destroyed every year Is
sacrificed to no purpose according
to the District Forester. In the
last ten years property and timber
to the value of 100000 has
been burned in forest fires, anG
this places no value on the intang-
ible but no less real damage to
second growth, water resources AND
recreational facilities. Eight out OF
every ten of the forest fires which
caused this loss resulted from
human carelessness and could and
should have been avoided.
The observance of Forest Protec'
ton Week gives us each one g
chance to learn the extent of the
loss due to our thoughtlessness ir
handling camp fires, matches anc
tobacco in the woods and to learr
the simple and effective ways OF
putting out these small forms OF
fire before they are abandoned tc
spread on the wings of the wine
through the valuable forests of the
country.

PAY-AS-YOU-GO' ADDS
TO GOOD ROADS COST

Minnesota bond issues will build
needed trunk highway improve
ments in this section at less eX-
pense than if cash is paid for them
and with greater fairness to pres
ent and future taxpayers, partlcu-
larly car and truck owners who are
footing all the directly taxed cost.
Official figures from state treas
ury records are given as the basis
for the foregoing statement in a
highway bulletin this week. The
simple reason assigned is that the
state can safely lend money at high
er interest rates than it is required
to pay on the funds it borrows. In
other words, loans of the $8,000,0OO
of 1924 motor vehicle tax funds to
schools, cities and so forth, would
yield minimum of 4 u per cent
interest or 100000 interest an
nually. The state could borrow
that amount for trunk highway pur-
poses at not to exceed 4.37 per cent,
giving not more than $350,000 of
annual interest to be paid-a gain
of $4,000 or more to be credited
each year to the use of state credit
in the transactions, the bulletin ex-
plains.
This phase of highway financing,
the bulletin continues, was brought
out by an announcement that a y
per cent interest will be charged by
the state board of investment on
100000 of trunk highway sink
ing fund being loaned now to
counties, cities, towns or on other
approved public securities. The re-
cords show that lower interest
rate is being paid by the state on
county, reimbursement bonds for
trunk highway improvements.
Treasury officials agreed, the bull
lletin says, that trunk highway bonds
can be marketed at lower interest
rates than most state securities be-
cause they would carry the addi-
tional backing of the more or less
established income from motor veh-
icle taxation.
The showing is advanced as an
additional reason for lending the
use of state credit to the car and
truck owners for highway improve
ments needed to bring their oper-
ating costs down to reasonable
minimumS.

COINS OF ROMAN RULE OVER BRITAIN DUG UP
interest Tn Excavation of Remains seems to Have New Impetus
 Tn England

London. Oct, S1. - Interest in excavation of Roman remains seems 10 be receiving new impetus in many parts of England and work being carried on at Portishead on the Somerset seabosrd is yielding highly important results.
 These excavations had their be- ginning after ploughman casual lv turned lip small quantity of coins, which upon examination were found to be of Roman origin. The work has now been taken in hand by an archaeologist, R. E, Goodwin, who reports the recovery of no fewer than 4,000 coins.
 T have already found 1000 bronze coins" said Mir. Goodwin, and stray ones are being added from day 10 day, They are in excel lent preservation and date from A, D. 2: to A. D. 400 C2t years before the Roman conquest of Britain to just before the final evacuation)
 They belong to practically every period of the Roman Empire, and 1t Is remarkable that apparently no two are exactly alike. The field in which I am working was used by the ancient Bntons as a camp, and this was afterwards taken over by the Romans.

SWEDEN IS READY TO
 SEND LUMBER HERE
Swedish Investigators Find Forests in U. S. Now so Remote that Expensive Hauling is Involved

Stockholm, Oct. 31. A new and important item may soon be added to the export trade from Sweden to America, according to state ments in the press by a Swedish lumber expert, the government for ester. NJ. Juhlin-Dannfelt, who has returned here after an extended tour of the United States as an ex- change sch olar under. the auspices of the American Scandinavian Foundation.
 The demands on the forest re- sources of America have already become so great, says MT. Juhlin- Dannfelt, that a lumber shortage is being increasingly felt. especially in the eastern states. Besides. the long hauls from the region of standing
