For 13 years lumber production in the Eastern, South- erm and Great Lakes states has: been steadily de-reasing while the Pacific slope shows a consistent increase, - Moreover, a comprehensive survey of the world forests "shows that there is none from which we may draw when ur own are exhausted. The average rate of decrease now is about 2 per cent year. The high point of production was reached in 907 when American forests turned out 47,000,000,000 feet. Present production is about 27 per cent less than these figures. The high peak is passed forever. What of the future? he most encouraging feature of the situation is the uni- ersal interest which is being aroused in re-forestation and preservation problems. Probably America will always be a land of parks and orest preserves, But a century hence the lumber indus- , 48 we know it now, will be something very different largely of brick, tile and con- definitely a f Statisties show very Wtle unemployment, This is great news for June graduates, All right for m girl to close her eyes while ldssing if sho keeps | “mouth shut afterward, ‘fama Some of these spring autoists think « train should take to the woods hen it sees them coming, ‘These oneman straw tops the men are wearing need two men to handle them on n windy day, The secret of success often consists of keeping it a sec _ Seeing her before Breakfast bs often a cure for love sickness, WHEN We GeT { TRIS UNTANGLED \ MEBBE We CAN CATCH SOMSTHING ) V RIDGE rHE SEATT (° S Jf VN) Y NA Wt = nae Pi ert , i, LE ST AR WHEN TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE ANTIQUES ARE FACTORY MADE Musician Is Fooled Italian Dealers by Now You're TALKIN’ | p | ‘eras a!
