THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1921. Walnut Timber Supply Rapidly Dimi n i s li i n f 0 Council ltiuffs Dealer Sounds Warning Against Further Cutting of Trees Under 15 Inches in Diameter. A wauling that unless cuttiiifr of small walnut tiffs, that is, those less than 15 inches in diameter, is stopped, walnut timher in this coun try will he wiped out. within a few .years has been .sounded by T. F. Allen of Council Muffs, an extensive buyer of walnut timber. Cutting of walnut trees should be confined to trees of more than 15 inches in diameter, Mr. Allen de clared. If this is done there will be another hiigc crop of walnut timber in 15 to 25 years, he said. At present walnut timber is be coming very scarce, according to Mr. Allen. Prices Sure to Advance. "T1ih talk about the price of wal nut coming down is all bosh," he asserted. " The costs of labor, trans portation, of handling and producing and the fact that there is an actual shortage, growing more acute all the , time, make it impossible, for prices to ko down. As a matter .of fact prices of walnut are hound to go up. "Eastern Nebraska, along the streams tributary to the Missouri river, has produced some of the finest walnut in the Cnited States. "I handled something like 700,000 feet of Nebraska walnut last year," said Mr. Allen. "It was as good quality as 1 have ever handled." Mr. Allen deals extensively in wal nut timber, lie has been in the tini ber business M) years. During 1918 alone, :ie procured j..m),uuu teet lor gunstocks and airplane propellers on the order of the ordnance department of the Cnited States army. Nowa days walnut is used chiefly for veneer iiiid furniture. Planting Done by Squirrels. Squirrels have much to do with the planting of walnut trees, accord ing to Mr. Allen. They take the walnuts into their neits and bury them there as a reserve food supply. Quite often these take root and in about 00 years they are full grown walnut trees it takes this long for them to get to the 15-inch size. "Whenever a walnut tree is cut another should be planted," declared Mr. Allen. "Unless we provida for the future in this way and quit cut ting the smalt timber a serious short age will be upon us soon and there will be no prospect for a future re covery.".

Judge Sears Advocates Federal Divorce Statute District Judge Sears believes that a federal divorce law would tend to minimize the divorce evil and make prospective applicants for divorce "stop, look and listen," before go ing into court. The judge stated that he has heard about 5,000 divorce cases and he be lieves that nine out of every ten are cases where the defendant does not appear. He believes many go out nnd remarry before the expiration of the six months prescribed period. "Folks are more afraid of the federal laws than they are of the state laws," said the judge. Mother Mortgages Her Home For Defense of Son Who Killed Wife The mother of Burncll Lawson, whose trial for wife murder will be gin in district court next Monday morning before Judge Troup, has mortgaged her home in Little Rock, Ark., for $3,000 with which to help in the defense of her son. According to Jamieson and O'Sul livan, attorneys for Lawson, a plea of insanity will be made. The pris oner is charged yvith murdering his wife, Jeanette, during the afternoon of January 24. Deputy County Attorney Coffey and William N. Jamieson have gone to Little Rock to obtain depositions which will be used during the trial. Thirty-four witnesses have been sub pocned. i About 50 per cent of the popula tion of Holland is dependent on the government, due to unemployment. The afternoon session of the fifth annual conference of the Nebraska Credit Grantors, held yesterday in the Elks' lodge rooms, was charac terized by heated round table dis cussions of the subjects presented by speakers. G. P. Horn of Omaha spoke on co-operation and its advantages to the credit man. "Co-operation is unity of action," declared Horn. "By co-operation of the creditor with the debtor many a debtor has been able to continue business." Presents Price Study. Prof. Russell Kilborn of the Ne braska State university presented a study of prices and their relation to the credit system. He stated that if the decline of prices is to be orderly the nation must first have peace, a sound banking policy and an in crease in the productivity of labor. "Banks ought not to co-operate with each other or with the govern ment or with any agency for the purpose of artificially raising prices. The present unemployment of labor is a necessary stimulus to good work, for the man who realizes that when he is not doing his best his place will be replaced by another laborer who will turn out more ef ficient work." Discusses Character. E. J. McManus of Omaha dis cussed character as a business asset. A banquet was served in the eve ning at the Chamber of Commerce, at which J. H. Tregoe, New York, secretary-treasurer of the National Association of Credit Men, made an address. Mr. Tregoe declared that recovery from inflated prices depends upon a free movement of commerce. "Buyers must be brought back in to the market," he said. "People must buy what they need, but buy moderately and wisely. The wheels of industry must be kept turning, else-unemployment will happen and of all the dangers none is greater than idleness." Loss in Toledo Postoffice Robbery is $l,600,00p loledo, O., Feb. 22.
