i SIX NEED NOT FEAR WO00D FAMINE DELAYED RETURNS FROM TOWN ELECTION HORNET Supervisor, three years—S. Government Figures Convey ASsUM | piiic ance to Those Who Contemplate Using That Material for Building. ‘Wood has been and is still one of the chief materials used in the construc- tion and furnishing of the home. It fas had natural advantages because of the ease with which it can be work- ed and fastened, because it has strength and hardness for general pur- poses, because it Is comparatively light in weight, because it is a good protection against heat and cold, and because it is pleasing in appearance. These properties, which are due to its peculiar chemical nature and physteal structure, have made wood unique among building materials. An impression seems to be preva- lent that the supply of wood is becom- ing so depleted that in the near future it can be used for ornamental or special purposes, says a report issued by the bureau of standards. This is declared to be erroneous. We still have enough virgin timber, it is de- clared, in this country to last for sev- eral generations, and with the growing practice of forestry a certain supply _will always be maintained, partly by increasing the yield of timber per acre and partly by checking the waste in using the timber. Although the centers of pruductlon are being removed farther and farther from the centers of population, freight rates do not make the shipment of fumber across several states prohibi- tive, wood being a comparatively ligh’ material. —_—_ Flowers Essential. With the first breath of spring, th. earth everywhere breaks forth and is covered with verdureand blossom—the violet, arbutus. daisies and all the fleld flowers. The dogwood, laurcl and rho- dodendrons, with thelr clouds of blos- soms. ornament the woods. We gather and place them in the home; they carry cheer and beauty wherever shown. @Ihy should these and other favorites from all over the world not be enjoyed the season roud? They: are, as grown In the greenhouse, even more beautiful in ‘the winter season, when the earth is covered with its mantle of snow. The blossoming pot in the window, the graceful fern or palm, which, with their summer green, give life to the house decorations, are as essential to the beauty of the home os flowers to the landscape.
