Supply of Walnut Logs Is Depleted Shipment From Pawnee City This Week Believed to Be Last for Some Time. Pawnee <ity, March 12.—What may be the last shipment of walnut logs to leave this county for some time was consigned front here this week to 1 Moines in two cars. For over a year Pawnee county has been the scene of renewed activity In walnut log buying, hut buyers state that most of the available, timber of good size is now gone. Since tlie first of last year over S14, 000 has been paid to landowners in the vicinity of this city for suitably sized walnut trees. Not all the, logs were shipped from here, but local con signments alone total over 30 cars. On account of the long haul, many log* f »rn the southwest part of the coun ty were taken to Liberty, in Gage county, for shipment, and Liberty is the only neighboring town whose ex ports of the lumber surpass those of Pawnee Pity. Last winter a solid train of logs was shipped from the Gage county town. Sam Lewie of Riverton, la., buyer of most of the timber sold here last year, stated that the price had de clined heavily front the war-time peak. At that time as high as $600 per thou sAnd feet was paid In this county, while the price average this winter has been $30. The length of time nec essary to grow a suitable tree wag In dicated by Lewis by reference to an acreage near DuBois, southeast of here, where seedlings set out over 60 years ago are still too small for prof itable logging. The average size de sired Is hho111 17 inches in diameter. One log shipped from here this winter was the finest encountered in the buyers’ experience, and was shipped to Europe. The tree stood over 36 inches In diameter, and was twisted, knotted and gnarled so much that the wood was given the highly desired "figured effect." It wag cut on the Bob Smith farm southwest of here. Fruit Prospect* Fa ir.

"If there is a new home down on the Green Mead ows this spring it may be yours, but it won’t be mine. So, of course, it will not he ours. The trouble with you, Johnny Chuck, is that you are too selfish to think of anybody but yourself. Don't forget that you arc not. the only Woodchuck in the world." Polly Chuck turned her back and without another word started off in the direction of the Old Orchard. Johnny Cnuck hesitated, lie was very much tempted to -follow her.
