She may be short-haired, because a majority of women are that today, but she is far from being, in generality, the strong-jawed, hardvisaged, masculine appearing figure which the cartoonists represent her to be. She is as numerous and as interesting in her variety as woman has ever been. Get acquainted with Judith, the charming little boss of Blue Lake Ranch. You will meet a new woman, a really brand-new sort, one —in this respect not unusual —who would rather be a woman than a man, but, called upon to do a man’s part, does it thoroughly. Circumstances called her into a unique line of endeavor. She carried it through in a man’s way, the only way it could be done, but she made it more effective by some fascinatingly feminine touches.

FOREST WEEN APRIL! 8 TO 24 I Women’s Clubs, Kiwanians And Rotarians Asked To Aid In Observance Tndlnnapolln, Ind., April 17.— (United Preus)—The state conservation department today called on six hundred] mens’ clubs, Klwanls anti Rotary clubs and chambers of commerce in Indiana' io cooperate in observance of Forest] Week, April 18 to 24. Charles ('. Beam. state forester, sentl statistics to all of the organizations. showing the imperative need for con-' servatlon of timber in Indiana and asked them to stimulate interest in the problem during the week. A few years ago, Deam said, Indiana produced more lumber than was needed for the use of its citizens but today the sjate Imports more than three-, fourts of the timber used. The freight charges on imported timber add millions of dollars annually to the bill for construction work in the state, he pointed out. Hundreds of saw mills and small woodworking industries which.* formerly operated at a profit, have been 1 I junked and moved to other states and I thousands <ff people formerly engaged in the industry, have been forced intoother occupations. 1 Attention was called to the fact that Indiana forests have been reduced tin-] til only about one acre in twenty, for-, merly covered with timber, still re-] mains. Clearing Is going on steadily with only mediocre efforts at reforestration. Deam warned. “Land owners should realize the, value of wood tracts," Deam said. I “They are needed to conserve mois-' ture and help prevent floods, protect crops and buildings from winds and storms, and protect wild life.” I Dean Stanley Coulter, of Purdue University, chairman of the state conservation commission, is chairman of activities in this state for national forestry week observances. j Dean Coulter and Miller Hamilton, of the United States forestry service at Washington, will make several addresses in the state during the week. Hamilton is scheduled for talks at Lafayette. Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Muncie, Huntington and Wabash. Purdue University at Lafayette will join in observance of the week with one of the most complete forestry displays ever made in Indiana.

Made a Verdict Rendered Here is a record to make you pause: 70,599 Dodge Brothers Motor Cars and Graham Brothers Trucks sold in the United States from January 2nd to April 3rd, 1926! The greatest quarter in the company’s history. 37 per cent greater than the same period last year, when 51,318 units were sold. This record was a foregone conclusion. Since the first of the year demand increased week by week. Each period showed greater sales than the one preceding and greater than the same period of 1925. During the last week recorded, ending April 3rd, 9104 units were sold, against 6530 for the best week last year—a gain of 39 per cent. Sales figures are an index to the buyer’s preference. Buyer’s preference, these days, springs from clean-cut convictions on quality and comparative worth, penny for penny. Although the peak of the selling season has not yet been reached, the verdict has already been rendered. Touring Car $795 Coupe $845 Roadster $795 Sedan $895 (F. O. B.
