ilcar occasionally tlat timber is getting "farther
back" and more expensive, but as soon as the demand
is keen the means of penetrating to the supply do not
deter the lumbermen from obtaining the trees.
The sawmills have deemed it important to utiliza
thin saws instead of converting an unwarrantable
mount of good material into sawdust.
This tendency to economize in the manufacture of lumber is the
suggestion that the end i3 in sight. Thoughtful people who are inter
ested in forest lands as well as those who derive on income from the
products of the forests are giving heed to the REFORESTING OF
LANDS which have contributed to the demands of civilization.
If an economical wood preservative will add 50 per cent to the
efficiency of timber the demands on the forest will bo correspondingly
decreased, and those who use as well as those who provide are much
interested in the progress of this feature in the bureau of forestry.
We do not anticipate and practice these economics because timber
lias been ABUNDANT. We are, however, passing through a period
of transition, and the admirable work of the bureau of forestry in co
operating with the different states to achieve results which will mark a
new epoch in forestry will be to the lasting benefit of future gener
ations. Along with the accomplishment of reforesting we should not be
unmindful of the TREMENDOUS WASTE AND PERMANENT
DESTRUCTION OF THE SOIL RESULTING FROM FOREST
FIRES. Concerted action must bo insured for the CAREFUL
WATCHING AND SUCCESSFUL PREVENTING OF FIRES

Don't Marry a Girl Who
Doesn't Dress In Style.
By the Rev. HERBERT S. JOHNSON of Botlon.
CITERE is no more potent influence for good in the modern
community today than feminine fashion. Not only are the
ever changing fashions of women ONE OF THE CHIEF
DELIGHTS OF CIVILIZED COMMUNITIES, but it
is a safe statement to make that we have today no more CONCLU
SIVE KEY TO A WOMAN'S MENTAL AND MORAL DE
VELOPMENT THAN THE CLOTHES SHE WEARS.
Much has been said of the high cost of living. The immense
sums of money spent annually in this country on apparently useless
articles of women's personal decoration are cited as arguments in
favor of American extravagance, when as a matter of fact this ITEM
IS ONE OF OUR SMALLEST NATIONAL EXTRAVA
GANCES. A girl or WOMAN WHO IS SELF RESPECTING
WILL ALWAYS DRESS FASHIONABLY AND WELL. Tho
hobble skirt, the poach basket hat, high heeled shoes and all the thou
sand and one foibles of the feminine sex are entertaining and products
of good.
.
A GIRL WHO, ON THE OTHER HAND, DOES NOT CARE ABOUT
DRESS AND LATEST FASHIONS IS NOT A NORMAL GIRL. THE
YOUNG MAN WHO CONTEMPLATES MARRIAGE NOWADAYS MAY
FIGHT SHY OF THE GIRL OF FASHION, BUT HE MAKES A MIS
TAKE. HE MAY BE A GAINER AT FIRST FINANCIALLY, BUT IN
THE END HE PAYS A TERRIBLE PRICE FOR HIS SHORTSIGHTED
NESS. THE GIRL WHO IS LAX ABOUT HER PERSONAL APPEAR
ANCE IS LAX MENTALLY AND MORALLY".
She is not made of the stuff that turns out self respecting children.
She is cither a visionary and as such an unreliable clement in a com
munity or she is downright LAX AND SHIFTLESS. In either
case she is NOT A SAFE PROPOSITION FOR THE ORDI
NARY YOUNG MAN.
