CARR CREEK LADS
 CONTINUE TO WIN
 IN SUMMER MEET

FRANKFORT, Ky, Sept. 5-Carr Creeks basketball is as good in war as in peace.
 The mountain lads who gained fame last winter at the national basketball tournament in Chicago, have been winning new laurels in the sport this summer.
 The players from the Kentucky hamlet have joined the Kentucky National Guard and in a recent tournament soundly walloped a picked team from Indiana guards men. They flashed the same systemless attack that enabled them to reach the finals at Chi cago.
 Carr Creeks colorful represen- tatives believe that their military training will put them in good stead when they resume their fight for the national interscholas- tic championship next winter.

VI-WEALTH FROM PINERIES

Pine stumpage and other timber
sales have rolled up $13, 100000 of the
SCI 100000 shown in the state trust
funds at the last report, while the
state has left at least million acres
of forest bearing land from which a
perpetual timber crop may be reaped
At that there has been a good deal OF
leakage in the past.
1t began when Auditor McIlrath
recommended in 1868 that the state
sell the stumpage instead of the land
on which there was stand of pine.
The. first sale on that plan was held
in 1867 and as McIlrath reported, "the
policy was fully indicated" The
state got as high as $3.50 an acre
from the stumpage, when the best
agricultural land averaged around
$500 an acre. The prices ranged
from $3.50 to $3.50 thousand, in the
days when trees were an incubus to
be rid of and any quantity of public
land was to be had at $1.25 an acre
regardless of the standing timber.
By 1873, McIlrath reported that the
state timber had been pretty we'll
cleaned up along the Mississippi as
far as Grand Rapids and on the st.
Croix and around Mile Laos, for
which the school fund had gained the
handsome total of $4,000, which, he
might have added, was less than a
quarter of the true amount. When
the lumbermen bid those prices, they
had their fingers crossed.
Probably he did not realize that
they had been playing horse with him,
taking twice and three times as much
as they paid for, cutting at will and
reporting as innocent trespass what
they thought was about right. There
was an investigation in 1873 and
though McIlrath was acquitted in a
criminal action and exonerated in a
civil suit, he was ruined politically.
In those reckless pioneer days,
Uncle Sam was rich enough to give
us all a farm" the heaviest timber
stands could be bought at the govern
ment price of $1.25 an acre, and the
general idea was help yourself. The
timber was there to be cut and when
it became apparent that conscienti-
Gus man could not swear he was max
ing a farm, the government fixed the
law so he need only swear that the
land was valuable only for stone or
timber and pay a minimum of $1.25.
Payment for appropriating public
property is after all modern idea.

1.-TWO Minute Talks"
MISS AUBYN CHINN

Two-thirds of the worlds work is
done between breakfast and lunch, ac-
cording to surveys which have been
made by people who wanted to know
the real truth about when you and l
can do our best work.
Many office workers, clerks, and
factory workers in large cities, and
housewives in typical towns through
out the country were questioned. AL
most universally the answer came
back-"Practically two-thirds of our
days work is done in the morning."
Without going into the scientific
reasons Of this special accomplish
ment in the morning hours, it is quite
obvious that breakfast is the impor-
'tant meal Breakfast provides energy
for father, mother and the children.
After IL or IA hours in which time
the body has added no additional
food, it is very necessary that we have
good breakfast to start the day
properly. BY this l do not mean a
heavy breakfast, but rather one that
is nourishing and easily digested to
enable us to have active minds and
bodies without using too much energy
in digesting the food.
School children many times sleep
until the last moment and run to
school after boiling" cup of coffee
or a doughnut or something else
which merely satisfies the temporary
hunger and gives the body no real
energy supply
Mothers, urge you to be just as
careful in preparing your breakfast
as you are in preparing your dinners.
because it is one of the most impOr-
tant meals of the day.
Fresh fruit, cooked cereal with plen-
ty of cream, buttered toast and a hot
drink is usually advised as a type of
breakfast every school child needs.
For husbands who are in stores or Of
fees during the day, this breakfast
is also good, with perhaps eggs or
bacon added. Working-men, of course,
will need more solid food, but it is
just as important that they have food
which supplies energy, such as butter
or cream, in abundance.
If the morning hot drink for the
adult is to be coffee, health authori-
ties are advising people nowadays
to get the Boston coffee habit" that
is, filling one-half your cup with hot
milk or cream before adding coffee.
This is a good habit not only from
the good health but from the good
taste point of view. Most adults enjoy
a cup of coffee for breakfast, but the
addition of a glass of milk is adding
food more than drink to this impor-
tant meal.

MARKVILLE CREAMERY

Observation-Disclosures, Markville.)

cry set new record for weeks out

in succession. This time the record
was boosted from IS tubs, the record
made week previous, to rs tubs.
Operator Kimlinger thinks that record
will stand for the season.
Another thing of Importance to dali
rymen locally is the receipt of a di-
ploma of efficiency from the Land o.
Lakes Creameries by the local oper-
ator. AL had an average efficiency of
1857" for the past year which COM
pares very favorably with operators

By JOHN STONE PARDEE

In those days cutting timber was like
picking berries.
After that no pine was sold except
when it was in danger of~fire or de-
terioration. And it was astonishing
how much timber had to be cut to
save it.
But there was still prodigal laxity.
Appraisals were made on the lumber.
mems sayso-often hearsay at that
and the cut was scaled by employees of
the lumbermen and altogether there
was a monstrous scandal when Bob
Dunn from Mile Laos started an in
vestigation in 1898, with Ignatius Dom
nelly close behind yelling, "Stop
thief" Some amounts were recovered
by civil actions and other suits were
settled on basis of what the scale
showed by measuring the stumps.
After that-and it made Dunn audi
tor-the pine lands were better
handled. Cruisers were competent
and the scale was Independent and
the law was more strictly drawn.
Since 1895 the state has collected
double value for trespass and treble
for willful trespass. Total collections
on trespass account have been over
100000 of which seven-eighths were
between 1895 and 1925.
Whether the leakage in the older
cuttings was more or less, most of the
$13,00O,000 in the trust funds from
pine and other timber came from the
newer cutover country, the accumula-
ton since 1880 and to a large proper
tion since 1900.
The heaviest sales however, we're
in the later years when operators
were getting ready to pull out and the
auditors, Iverson and Preus and
Chase in turn-argued as Dunn did
before them, that after the great mills
were dismantled and the logging roads
abandoned, the market would slump.
Before 1900 the collections from
stumpage had only once been as high
as 100000 in any year; after 1900
tire was only one year less than
100000; the years receipts were
more than half million in six years
and in 1924 the total came to $780,
600. Completion of present opera
lions will bring the total to around
$15,000,OOO.
That ends the thirty year harvest
of standing pine; from now on it is
the handling of a permanent crop.
And the million acres or more of
forest-bearing land in the states trust
should bring in the course of years
double and five fold the sum of the
original stand of virgin timber.
