QUESTION MEANS MUCH IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATION. Is Most Important Economic Policy Ever Adopted by ' Any Nation. A very few years ago 'iorest conservation was little more than a phrase; today it is a vital issue in our national 'development," says Trvadwell Cleveland, Jr., in a circular on the status of forestry in this country, which was just this country, which, has just been issued by the United States Forest Service. "In connection with the general plan to conserve all natural resources, it is the most important and far-reaching" economic ver adopted and pursued by any. nation. The forest is one pf the chief supports of the whole material fabric of our civilization. The forest means .not only a permanent supply of wood an'd the life of all the industries which depend upon it; but also the control of the wafers for human use. There is only barrenness in the future of the nation which has lost the use of wodd and the control of water. "The sort of use that was made of natural resources during the pioneering stage, while right enough at the time, is far too wasteful to' be carried on into the new industrial era. In order to know haw to,use a thing, however, it is'necessary first to find out how much of, it there is to use, and taking stock of our forest esources Has led toy startling results. "It has shown that we are still destroying the forest as we use it, thatwe are taking from it every three and a half times as much wood as is added by the new growth. It has shown less than on'e thirU of the growing tree felled by the lumberman is ever used at all, so that two-thirds of all the timber cut s smply destroyed. It has shown that oneeleventh of all the forests are swent Ijv fires everv vear. and i -j . - . t . 1 mat on tne average is simpiy destroyed. It has shown tha oijeeleventh of all the forests are swept by fires every year, and 'that 'on the average since 1870 forest fires have yearly cut $50,000. 000 in timber and fifty "v.s. It has shown that over ninetynine per cent of the forests in private hands which coniprisv tune-fourths of all the fore-r :-.n I four-fifths of all th. wood i- :j'. r devasted by ie ;:ruct:ve 1. se i vl the scourge of unchecivd tires. w!i V 'ess than 1 per ( ?:it i; prope:ly handled fr s ccc sive crops or effectively protected from fire. The forest as a resource rs rapidly being obliterated. "But the inventory of the for ests has had yet other ugly facts to' reveal. With the disappearance and deterioration of the mountain forests the nation is losing control of the streams. -which are use, ful in oi:r civilizationrin ways and degrees unparalled by any other resource. Pure water for domes tic purposes is, of course, indis pensable; usable water at the right seasons is the sole reliance of the great projects by which the arid lands are vivified by ir rigation ; cheap water transporta tion is a matter of dollars ami cents to every citizen ; trustworthy power streams are the key o the age of electricity at the gates of Which mtKlern industry ise standing. Yet the guardian of the "waters is steaddy compelled to retreat before the ax and fire. 'm ! "In waste alone we reject more. than two-thirds of the lumber that might te taken from the standing trees. At least half of this waste, is unnecessary. In the first place, we waste the forest by refusing to take aVIvantage of its full capacity for growth. Protected and properly managed oti: forests ,will produce far more' wood than they do at present. But while it is .wasteful to cripple the forest by a violent lumbering which des troys youm? growth the promise of the future forest it is jloubly wasteful to lock up the forest and let the rrpe timber die and decay, for in the former ca'se the forest at least contributes a temporary supply of wood, whereas in the latter case it contribues no wood at all. 1 "It is not use which destroys the forest, but waste. Not use as such, but 'destructive use, combined with inexcusable neglect, is causing 'the forests to dwindle under our progressive demands upon them. The problem. there: fore, is not to be solved by disusc, hut by wise use and protec--inrjs o. ip.w S3iis3crv oirx uoP ttlate forest growth that the needed .wood may be harvested without 'depleting the stock in hand, and will keep intact the protective cover at the stream sources,' Opens Real Estate Office. Thomas Tribbey has opened a real estate office in the building formerly occupied by the fate J. W. Parks on Garro street.

MAY NOT TRY

STATE WIDE k PROHIBITION Conservatives of Anti-Saloon League Believe that Well Enough Should be Left Alone for the Present. THINKS PRESENT LAWS SHOULD BE ENFORCED Radicals May be Able to Control Policy at Annual Meeting of Trustees in the Middle of November. Xo annual meeting of the trusees of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League has cast so long a shalow before it or has attracted as nuch attention, in advance, from emperance people, liquor people ind politicians, as tlv meeting which will be held about the midlie of November. At this meetng the policies of the league for he coming year will be outlined n the form of a resolution adopt ed bv the trustees. For some time the two elenents of the temperance forces f the state, upon 'whose opinions he action of the trustees of thi nti-Saloon League will base their action at the November neeting, have been discussing he question of the attitude the eague should at this meeting ake toward state-wfi'de prohibi tion. One of these elements i.mown as the "radicals" and the )thvr as the "conservatives." The "radicals," who appear to e fewer that the other element it the present time are those who Relieve the league should at this neeting declare for an immediate ind active battle for state-wuie rohibit-i'ii. Put the prese: indi-atio-i-i are that the trustees will ulopt a resolution for a more o'ns.rvative plan of action, favring a policy of law ent"rcenent and the holding oi the ground m' far gained and sper.ung in favor of ultimate state.vidc prohibition. rme of the conserve t'.ves arc .fraid that ii the other element hon Id win at the meerin the an.i sakon movement in the stale puld lose much that it has won in.

Many politicians wiih .vhom temperance people have aun such a view an ! the con;crvatives insist that the league .von! 1 lose more friends by such i declaration at this time than it ;ould win back in years. They insist that such action at this time would be nothing short of ash. They have argued, too that ;uch a declaration at this time would lose the movement much f- the valuable support from unvspapers of the state which the league hais so greatly profit ed by in the past. Say State is Not Ready. The conservatives go further and insist that' even if none of the riends of the movement up to the present, point would be lost by such a "declaration the state is not ready for the submission of the question of s,tatc-wkle prohibition. There are too many people ;hey say, who insist that it has not been demonstrated as yet that prohibition in I rid i an a can really be made to prohibit and that the league should give practically its undivided attention to law enforcement in dry territory of the state for at least long enough tima to show- the people f these counties as well as the people of the wet counties, that prohibition under a state'-wide movement really would prohibit :n the larger towns and cities as well as in the smaller places. The conservatives are insisting that the movement can lose nothing by wajiting Jbr a while, but can lose much by hurrying its jroader proposition at this time. " There are about sirtty members f the board of trustees and about 'orty will attend'' the meeting, it s expected. A large number of the members are preachers, an J -.here has been a fear on the part of some of the conservatives that i good many of the preacher n-embers may misjudge the attitude of the public toward the subject of state-wide prohibition While there has been an impression for soma time that the officers of the Anti-Saloon League favored a mor conservative policy for the immediate future than a declaration for an immediate attempt to force statewide prohibition, the ' question will after all rest with the trustees, for the officers can 'but follow the policy laid down for them bv the trustees. All that nich officers of the league as favor a conservative policy and other conservatives will be aible to do will Je to use thenr influence, if this proves to be neces?ary to wing a majority 01 tne trustees to their way of thinking: Collect Judgment on Pullman Co Mansfield, O., authorities who had a court judgment agains th Pullman Cr.r Company for .$21, lttached the Car and chainrtl it to the track, wher it remained until the Pullman company in Chicago was notified.

EASTERN STAR GIVES ROYAL RECEPTION TO GRAND MATRON

Banquet and Degree Work Given Tuesday Evening Knight Templars Preparing for Inspection Friday.

The reception and banquet givm by the Plymouth chapter of :he Kastern Star, in honor of the Grand Matron, Miss Lotise Dicker of Xoblesville, was attended by one hundred an'd sixty inembers of the O. E. S., from :his city, and visitors from Iourbon, Bremen, LaPorte, Grovertown, and other places. Degree work was also exemplified, two andidates ,Mrs. Frances Kebert, ami Miss Cecile IUirkett, were initiated into the mysteries of the nlge. The affair was one of the most successful of its kind, ever put on by the local lodge. , The banquet which preceded the election, 'was given at the Van Curen hall, at G:00 o'clock, and was immediately followed by the entertainment at the handsome quarters of the lobge. A program consisting of musical numbers, and talks by members and guests was given. Vocal solos were rendered by -the Misses Boss and Cecile Burkett. The drill was executed in excellent style. After the degree work -was given, refreshments were served ind carnations were given as favors. Talks were given by the Grand Matron, most of the visitors, ami the candidates. Mr. English, the patron, presented CHANGES IN NATIONAL GUARD DICK BILL AFFECTING MILITIA WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE SOON State Will Meet Requirements of Standing Army When More Appropriations are Made Washington, Oct. 19. A critical date in the history of the na;inal guard will be Jan. "il, for thereafter no. portion of the money appropriated' by Congress for th support of the militia can be. paid to any organization that fails .o conform to the standards of the regular ami). The Dick bill of l!)ü:5 originally prescribed a period of five years for the. bringing about of the considerable changes necessary to place the guardsmen in uniformity of organization and equipment with the regular soldier. An extension was granted until Jan. 21, 1910. The officers of the War Department are taking stock of thi work accomplished and calculating "he percentage of the national guard as it stands today that will be thus qualified to retain govern mental support. The detailed results will be made public in the forthcoming annual report of Col. E. M. Weaver, chief of the divi sion of militia affairs. It may be stated that on the whole the War Department expresses great satisfaction ii the prospect and tin apparent sucv.ss attending the workings oi :he Dick bill. X.xt year, for the first time in its history, the militia or so much of it as remains under the caption of "The Xational Guard," will be found armed with the latest pattern of military rifles clothed from head to foot in regular army gear; supplied with all regular equipment and with ranks filled to the requirements of the Law. South Shows Improvement. The task hais been one of con siderable magnitude, and that the difficulties haw- be$i met and overcome by so many of the states and territories of the union is held by the deparMiwnt as reflecting much credit upon the national guard officers. In many cases . the companies and reginxtats were mere skeletons twenty-five men made up an average company in many states. The improvement in conditions has beon general, but markedly so in the South, which has formerly been regarded as a weak spot by the strict disciplinarians of the regular axmy, who Kit that in that section undue prominence had been given to the social and club features by the militiamen at the sacrifice of military quality. Although lacking the massive brigades and divisions of the more populous Xorthem states the militia companies in a number of the Southern states are now reported by the inspecting office s to be in a satisfactory condition of conformity to army standards. The West, also, is tfoing w,cll, although thVre are some sjots regarded as weak, notably in Xeada, where it is said there is not a sinIo company of tne national guard able to establish a claim to a dollar of thsj large annual appropriation made by Congress for the support of the militia.

They returned with a verdict of $tS33 judgment, against the defendant Xathan , Vehon of Hremen. The judgment was given on two notes of Jjvl.ii)' each, with interest. A complete review of the case was given in the Tribune on Saturday evening. Joseph V 'ion of Chicago, hefd seven notes, of $3.10 each against his nephew Xathan Vehon. Two of the notes became overdue, and were sueU on. The notes were originally given by Xathan Vcbon. to his father Solomon Vehon, for the support of the latter gentleman, who sold seven of the n':tes to his brother, Joseph Whon. The father returned to live with Xathan,, who thought that he should have his notes returned. When they became due Joseph Vehon brought suit. 1 . The jury on its first vote stood seven for the defendant and five for the plaintii. After deliberating for four hours the jury i.tumed a verklict for the plaintiff. After thejury re turn öd on the Vehon case, they were dismissed for th-e remainder of the week by Tudgc Hcrnctha.

We ha'd three grades, Mary Van Valkenburg taught in one grade, my -wife in. another rnd I in the third, and I had 112 pupils in my grade, two plasses in i ach bianch taught, in my grade.

I have often thought that when I .quit teaching and took up illackstone, that I spoiled a fair teacher and made a poor lawyer. There was one little incident that happened me while in Plymouth that happened so long ago 'at I Am not betraying any 'sec rets if I speak of ft now. I was invited by some goikl friend, to meet in an upper room on the sly, and was directed bow to gam admission, but before the night of the meeting I was informed bv same friend that the meeting had btcin postponed indefinitely. Af terwards I learned that the meetng 'was called for thepunx)se of starting a Knownothing lodge and I jumped at the conclusion that the promoters of the project ha'd learned that I was born in the la rid of a II nice and a Wal lace, and that I would not be Iikelv to make a verv good knownothing.
