as. At one time it also occupied
vast areas of rich arabic land in
the group of States circling Ken
lucky There were trees 400 years
old with a diameter of feet, and
a tree of 100 feet was not unusual.
The reason for the size and age Of
these trees is their persistence Of
growth and their resistance to many
of the foes that attack other trees.
The white oak produces the finest
Of wood for all purposes where dura-
bility, strength, toughness ana abil-
ity to remain in its place are needed.
And added to these qualities is the
beauty of the grain.
So our forefathers cut down many,
many white oaks. They built sturdy,
lasting homes, with grders of great
strength to support the floors. They
fashioned beautiful doors, floors, fur
niture of white oak. Today many
of the homes still stand, the wood
In excellent condition and IS de-
pendable for its purpose as ever.
The wide-spreading branches Of
the white oak when 1t grows in open
places make 1t most attractive
tree in winter and summer. The
rosy pink leaves arrive early in May.
By the latter part of the month the
fringed catkins of the male flowers
appear, and the close fitting clusters
of the female flowers are ready to
receive the pollen sifted over them
by the spring winds.
The acorns mature during the
early autumn days, and this Is why
you do not see any fruit on the
trees during the winter. The glossy
brown nut is three-fourths Of an
inch long and is set in q neat little
! shallow saucer.
The squirrels, birds and other nut
eating animals are very fond of the
sweet Favored meat Of this acorn.
Squirrels are not as likely to forget
where these acorns have been cached
as they do some Of the others. So
white oaks do not get a chance to
have so many younger trees coming

The oaks are our most important
hardwood trees. In the United
States we have some of the finest
oak timber available, and because
of the strength and beauty of the
wood, as we'll as its fitness for so
many purposes, it leads the group
of hardwoods.
We have 60 species of native oaks
which extend throughout the United
States. OF this number some 20
species. all growing in the eastern
half of our country, are classed as
commercially important.
Lumbermen speak of white oak"
and red oak" as the leading groups,
and the different species are usually
so mentioned only according to the
group to which they belong. Though
they refer to the wood Of the white
oak as white 1t Is really deep cream
in color and generally lacks the red
dish tinge that is found in the wood
Of the red oaks. The pores in the
heartwood of almost all the white
oaks are filled with natural men,
branous growth which makes the
wood less liable to moisture and
decay.
The lovely white oak is distributed
over wide range from Maine to
Florida and from Minnesota to Tex

thirds of all motor fuel Is used
in earning a living.
"Of the remaining one-third
! Of the motor fuel consumed, it
serves to take the family to
! church, the children to school,
the mother shopping. 1t pro-
vides needed recreation, at small
cost, to the entire family. Such
enjoyment Is wholesome and
socially desirable, and Is differ
ent from the pleasures derived
from the selfish indulgence of
many ~luXuries," continued MIR.
Stevenson.
"This country faces no scar
city of motor fuel. The petrol
cum industry is discovering new
oil supplies faster than the
country is consuming petroleum
products.
1.-THE U. S. Bureau of Mines
recently stated that within the
confines of this country there
are resources ample to assure
an adequate supply of motor
fuel for at least 5000 years. The
petroleum industry has a pro-
ductive capacity to meet any
demands that will be placed up
on it. These facts have been
placed before Congress to show
that high taxes to restrict the
use of petroleum are not need
ed. Petroleum stands among the
few major materials vital to
civilian standards of living and
military efficiency that Is avail
able now in ample amounts.
For that reason, the experts
pointed out TO Congress-, there Is
no need for the imposition of
high levies to restrict and con-
troll use of petroleum products.
1.-THE heavy burden of taxa
ton now carried by gasoline
was also stressed at the Con-
greSsional hearings" continued
Mr.. Stevenson. Motor fuel now
is subjected to double taxation
by the federal government. In
1882 an emergency depression
tax on gasoline was enacted by
| Congress. That tax, originally
intended to run only a year or
two, repeatedly has been eX-
tended. Last year Congress adj
ded another tax for defense
| purposes, to run until 1945.
These two federal taxes amount
to IL per cent of the average
retail price of gasoline.
These federal taxes are COL
lected in addition to the heavy
imposts of the states, which
amount the country over Is IS
per cent of the retail price.
Representatives of both fed
eral and state governments are
coming to the realization that
the public welfare will be served
best by maintaining motor fuel
tax rates at reasonable levels"

Away back yonder we put a

about woman suffrage, and how
it would clean up everything
and make politics sweet. Big
problems would flatten to mole
hills.
I been thinking about it on
account of Japan. Our diplo-
mats are not having much luck
with Japan. And our economist
are arguing pro and con on
what to do. But our women folks
keep on with silk hose. And no
body is getting any place.
We got a problem on our
hands in the US.A. with cot
ton, too. The whole South is
bullying with cotton.
Sisters, if you are on your
toes and want to kinda live
down the cleanup everything"
promises, you have a slick
chance now. Switch to cotton
stockings versus silk and solve
the Japanese problem over night
also the cotton problem. Show
up the diplomats and the econ
omists. And the old head of the
household, so-called, show him
up, too.

MONTANA MOTORISTS HEAR
GASOLINE TAXES TOO HIGH

Montana motorists will be
pleased to know that two of
Uncle Sans leading economic
and financial advisers - Leon
Henderson, administrator of
price control, and Mariner S.
EccleS, chairman of Federal Re-
serve board, told Congress that
gasoline taxes already are too
high. G.. G. Stevenson, secretary,
Montana Petroleum Industries
pointed out today.
These two government offic-
ials voiced their vigorous oppo-
sition to any increase in the
federal gasoline tax at hearings
before the Ways and Means
committee in Washington.
Because gasoline is not a
luxury, is available in ample
quantities to meet both the ci-
villain and military needs of the
nation, and because motor fuel
already is heavily overtaxed by
the federal and state govern
ments, Henderson, Eccles and
many other prominent men
have asked Congress that addi-
tional taxation of motor fuel
would be unsound," said MI.
Stevenson.
witnesses before the Con-
~gresSional hearings now being
held in Washington have point
ed out that nearly two-thirds
of all the gasoline consumed in
the United States is used in
connection with earning a live
lihood. About one-quarter OF all
motor fuel is used in the trucks
of farmers, manufacturers,
merchants and other men in
carrying on their business. More
than half the motor fuel
burned in passenger cars is used
for business purposes. 1t is esti-
mated that nearly 10000, 900
persons daily get TO and from
their jobs by means of motor
