Coolicbe in Plea for Forests Warns of Wood Depletion Sets Aside Week for Timber •Protection; Lrges Co-Oper* ation “to Prevent Calamity.'’ By Internntinnnl News Service. Washington, March 11.—President t'oolldge today railed national atten tion to the seriousness of the timber depletion in the I’nited States, and is sued a proclamation designating the week of April 27-May 3 as "American. Forest week." Too long, he declared, has the coun try gone ahead cutting down its prim itive forests and taking no steps t'o renew them. There is still time, he said, to remedy this situatiou before real calamity overtakes the country, and he appealed to the nation at large to encourage conservation and re growth. The proclamation follows; ."In proclaiming American Forest week 1 desire to bring to the atten tion of all our people the danger that comes from the neglect of our forests. Forests Stripped. "For several years the nation has observed Forest Protection week. It is fitting that the observance be en larged. We have too freely spent the rich and magnificent gift that nature bestowed upon us. "In our eagerness to use that gift we have stripped our forests; we have permitted fires to lay waste and de vour them; we have all too often de . stroyed the young growth and the a seed from which new forests might spring. "And though we alreadv feel the first grip of timber shortage, we have barely begun to save and restore, "We have passed the pioneer stage Sure Relief FOR INDIGESTION ; | INDI^°V ; 6 Bcllans Hot watdr Sure Relief •ELL-ANS 25« and 75< Packages Everywhere j OF MAGNESIA I 'dess you ask for "Phillips.” you .i.uy not get the original Milk of Vlagnesia prescribed by physicians for 60 years as an antacid, laxative, cor rective. 25-cent bottles, also 50-cent bottles, contain directions—any drug store.

Dell Filmed bv Paramount Native picturegocrs whose fiction reading includes the popular worl(s of Ethel M. Dell, will soon have the opportunity of seeing this author's greatest novel on the local screen. A pic turization of her widely read story, “The Top of the World,'' was recently completed for Par amount under the direction of George Mclford.

Lewis iii ithe George Melford Production. “The Top of the World' A Paramount Picture and are no longer excusable for con tinuing this unwise dissipation of a great resource. To the nation it means the lack of an elemental ne cessity and the waste of keeping idle or only partly productive nearly one fourth of our soil. To our forest using industries it means unstable in vestments, the depletion of forest capital, the disbanding of established enterprises, and the decline of one of our most important industrial groups. Kept at Work. "Our forests ought to he put to work and kept at work. 1 do not min imize the obstacles that have been met, nor the difficulty of "changing old ideas and practices. We must all put our hands to this common task. It Is not enough that the federal, state and local governments take the lead. There must be a change in our national attitude. Our industries, our land owners, our farmers, all o'Ur citi zens must learn to treat our forests as crops, to be used, but also to be renewed. We must learn to tend our woodlands as carefully as we tend our farms: "Let us apply to this creative task the boundless energy and skill we have so long spent in harvesting the free gifts of nature. The forests of the future must be started today. Our children are dependent on our course. We are bound by a solemn obligation front which no evasion and no sub terfuge will relieve us. Unless we fulfill our sacred responsibility to un born generations, unless we use with gratitude and with restraint the gen erous and kindly gifts of Divine Prov idence, we shall prove ourselves un worthy guardians of a heritage we hold in trust. "Now, therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, do recommend to the governors of the various states to designate and set apart the week of April 27-May 3, inclusive, 1!<C3, as American Forest week, and, wherever practicable and not in conflict with state law or ac cepted custoips, to observe Arbor day within that week. And I urge public officials, public and business associa tions, Industrial leaders, forest own ers, editors, educators and all patri otic citizens to unite "in the common task of forest conservation and .re newal.

The shrinkage in the chnttle mort gages reflects the general anti drastic liquidation that has taken ftlaep for a number of ypars in the west, and indicates the strong basic strength of the county. The slight Increase in real estate mortgaj^-s Indicates the shifting of debts from personal property to real estate. The joint stock land banks began to loan in the county in 1924 at fi per cent, and now that the rate is reduced to 5 3-4 per cent, there will be a large amount of refinancing of farmers and ranch men by shifting the debts to real ehtate.

AT THE I Til EAT ICRS I Some idea of tlie magnitude of ‘'Ar tists anil Models," famous musical revue coming to the Rrandeis next Thursday, Friday and Saturday may be gained from the fact that the com pany travels in a nine-car special train, composed of five Pullmans, three VOfoot lmggage cars, ami a diner. The show arrives here front Res Moines, slopping off en route to Denver and San Francisco, includ ing stars, lesser principals, dancers, sltow girls, and musicians, a total of WO people are carried. The produc tion is insured for $225,000. One set of costumes, imported from Paris, cost $.15,000, "Artists and Models' played all last season in New York to record-breaking receipts of ovef $1,000,000. New songs, scenes ami costumes have been added by the Messrs. Shubert for this season's tour of the principal cities. Mozart's famous comic opera, "Th* Marriage of Figaro," is to be given at the Rrandeis theater but one time, tomorrow night. The company is one of exceptional distinction, each artist being of international reputation won In some of the principal opera houses of Europe. In addition the opera is beautifully dressed and mounted, and will be a feast for the eye as well as the ear. As for Mozart's music— from the sparkling overture to the merry finale, when all the intrigue Js straightened out and everyone is happv—it is by turns vivacious, sen timental and dramatic. Messrs. Cort will offer at the Bran dels theater March 16, 17 and IS. “White Cargo," written from an in cident that happened when a steamer landed at a port of the west coast of Africa op its regular six months trip to take on cargo but the only shipment bn her return voyage was a human "white” wreck whci fell a victim to the sun-baked country, and his infatuation fo» a native beauty. The production is described as being extremely picturesque with marvel ous lighting effects. "Singing the blues" is one attain ment of a modern performer. Lola Pierre is being seen this week with Harry Steppe and his big show at the Oavety has been able to make her mark through the rendition of such songs. A distinct novelty will he presented this evening. It is called "Opportunity Nite" for the reason that Mr. Steppe's chorus girls will lie given a chance to demonstrate their histrionic ability by playing a sketch. "The Fortune Hunter." that the principals of the company will first present. Harry Holbrook, "The Singing Marine” at the Orpheuin this week. before he discovered his remarkable voice, was ail actor, playing juvenile ri les at Minneapolis when this coun try entered the war. He was 18 at the time, and joined the marine corps. After several months at Paris island, he was sent overseas and to the front. It was on the wav bark from France that a singing director of his outfit heard his voice and re*> og nixed its unusual beauty ahd power. I'pon the advice of this man Holbrook went to Campanarl to study, and has been under his tut©> Inge ever since. He hopes eventually to go Into grand opera.
