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.". Ten Persons Have Narrow
Escape When lloujsc Burns
Ten occupants of the home of Mr.
r.nd Mrs. I O'Connor, .718 Browne
street, had a narrow escape at 5

During Investigation of
His Mission in Ireland
Jerry Howard was detained in Gal
way, Ireland, by a chief of police and
divisional commissioner and held six
to seven hours during an investiga
tion, according to a letter received
from the Oniahan yesterday by
Mayor Smith.
"After a thorough search of my be
longings," he wrote, "and a, detention
of six to seven hours, I was taken
before the divisional commissioner
of Connaught. I was acquitted and
told that I was under police surveil
lance and that if I did not keep good
company I would be called back to
Gal way and sentenced to imprison
ment." Mr. Howard promised full details
on his return to Omaha.
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."
