Better or Worse

When Charles Adolphus married
Katie, and paid the preacher from
his purse, he said, "The marriage
vow is weighty-she's mine for bet
ter or for worse. | quite expect to
find her better. but if she proves
a gilded brick, I'll be no piker, DON
nerwetter; the sacred marriage vow
must stick And Katie said, No
vow is greater than is the well known
marriage pledge; though Charles may
prove selling platter, the vow must
stand, | will not hedge" And each
developed tastes unpleasant that
made the other sad and sore, and
for season grief was present, and
trouble knocked upon the door. 1t
seemed dissension had pre-empted
the right of way, and marked their
course; and. there were times when
each was tempted to buy rummage
sale divorce. But each one sternly
strove to smother resentment, anger
and distate; they looked for good in
one another-their pledges must not
go to waste And Katie's whi1ns
were thus forgiven, and Charles
tantrums cut no ice; dissension
from their home was driven, they
knew the peace beyond all price.
And as the dusk of life grows
nearer, as eyes grow dim and
strength departs, each finds the
other ever dearer, eternal youth is in
their hearts. Men take their brides
for worse or better, brides take
their men with vows sublime, then
idly break the golden fetter that
should unite them for all time.

PARLEY TO REVIEW
COTTON STANDARDS
Conference in London to Con-
slider Objections to the Ac-
cepted U. S. Scale.

Another conference to agree on
cotton standards has been called to
meet in London July 81 by DR.. H. c.
Taylor, chief of the bureau of agri-
cultural economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The conference was called because of
some dissatisfaction with the stand
ards fixed more than a year ago, at
which time the United States official
standards were accepted.
DR.. Taylor has been abroad confer
ring with the foreign cotton inter-
ests, and has telegraphed for his as
sistant, Lloyd S. Tenny, and Chester
Morrill,, another Department of Agri-
culture official and an expert on cot
ton, to come to London for the con
ference.
object of the Conference.
The object of the conference is to
discuss with the foreign cotton rep
resentatives, who have agreed upon
the universal standards, all questions
of difference and reach a supplement
tai agreement covering them. 1t is
understood the English cotton inter-
ests are desirous of holding Il meet
ing in the spring of each year to
compare and overhaul all copies of
the official standards. Represe senta
tives of Liverpool, Manchester and
Bremen cotton associations have been
in Washington three weeks working
with American officials in preparing
key sets of the standards for the
European cotton exchanges maintain
ing arbitration boards, one set for a
safe depository, probably the vaults
of the Bank of England; sets for each
of the ten designated American spot
markets, the New York Cotton Ex-
change, and the principal arbitration
committees in the United States. The
work is now about completed.
No changes have been made in the
universal standards, and none can be
made without formal agreement and
one years notice in advance of their
prOmulgation.

fires and bring about better handling
of privately owned forest land. The
equitable adjustment of timber-land
taxes in such ways as will promote
timber production is a responsibility
of the individual states At the same
time the national importance of stop
ping timber depletion calls for the
taking of an active part by the feder
al government, particularly in aiding
the forest activities of the states,
standardizing technical practice in fire
protection and forest renewal, and
largely extending national acquisitions
of forest land
We all appreciate as do the govern
ment and the department Of agricul-
ture that the cutting Of timber and
its manufacture must go on in this
country The lumber industry pre-
sents one Of the most important in
the commercial life of the United
States. Take for example the ore
item of wooden box manufacture. Il
is estimated that the total amount Of
lumber used in the manufacture OF
wooden boxes is approximately Ga
billion, feet yearly
From the foregoing figures and BY
glancing at the map it is apparent
that one of the great problems facing
this nation is the future supply Of
lumber. We are wasteful people, we
want everything of the best. If our
canned goods come in boxes contain
ing knot holes or slight defect the
dealer will not handle them and yev
the boards making up this box are
used for nothing but fire wood, are
generally broken off by the use of a
hammer and thrown aside. In the
manufacture of boxes it is estimated
in general way that rs per cent of
the board is wasted. Think of what
it means, cut of over 61a billion feet
and this is annual, and one fourth
thrown away for fire wood or burned
in refuse burners.

public action Chief among these are
the fire hazard of forest properties,
particularly of growing forests, and a
property tax system which discourage
es or may prevent the ladn owner
from engaging in the business of
growing timber 1t has always been
my personal opinion that our govern
ment is wrong in imposing upon the
timber owner a tax burden on stand
ing timber which makes it almost OBJ
igatory upon him to cut the timber
so as not to have it's value consumed
in the payment of taxes and feel
that if this tax were removed from the
timbersit would be one of the greatest
incentives to the timber owner to con-
serve his holdings and increase them
all possible.
On the other hand, the public cannct
and hould not do it all. A measure
of responsibility rests upon the land
owner and should be recognized in eq-.
uitable requirements sto the hand
ling of this land It is case of the
public and the private owner alike
doing their part. Our policy must
aim toward timber production on
somewhat the same footing as IN
France or Scandinavia-as an estab-
lished national practice. This calls
for a core of public forests, public in
struction and example, public encour-
agement in protection and taxation,
and responsibility recognized by for
est owners to keep their lands prod
uctive.
This summary would not be com
plete without indicating the essential
steps which should be taken to stop
timber depletion. The plan her out
lined is built up on the belief that
most rapid progress will be made by
utilizing the recognized palice powers

to conserve our forests and to make
the citizens of this country appreciate
what it means to conserve what we
have. The annual loss of trees Dy
fire, as previously remarked, is ap
palling and yet we go along daily
through out own. roads here in the
summer and find camp fires left burn
ing without any regard to what de-
gree they might spread. Fire is one
of the greatest wastes and it is within
our own hands to reduce at least in
small way some of this waste, and if
every citizen in this country will do
his duty think of the billions Of feet
annually that may be saved.
Let US then cooperate with the de-
partment of agriculture in the forest
service and with the men they have
throughout the country and more par
ticularly right here in our own for
ests, and assist them to carry on the
grand and glorious work of conserva-
tion to which they are devoting their
unceasing labors, and let us remember
with the lated lamented Joyce Kilmer
who died in the great war in France:
Il think that / shall never see
A poem lovely as tree;
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing
breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree"
