PAPER SHORTAGE AND THE NATIONAL FORESTRY SERVICE. When Franklin K. Iaru former ft-cretary of interior. p;ivo out th.it Interview upon retiring from r.füce. ojt of which tho republicans thought for a moment to make so murh ranpalprn material ho built better than they knew, as for instance when ho f.iid: "Wafhlntr.n i.s rich In bniins," at s conti thought a reference, mnyhnr, to the "idle rich' in brains that infest the ftUeral conprej-s. When congress tut oyt from tlie appropriation 1 i 1 1 the item for maintenance, of tlie forestry service of the country, putting it practically out of hu.slne.ss in this time of its direct need, it demonstrated huw "idle" tho "rich" brains of the congress are; idle whether rich or poor. T;ik for instar.ee the problem of paper shortage; a ptobleni that concerns not only the newspapers, but the country at large. Conpr?s might do well to study tho remedy proposed, for instance by the American Par er and 3ulp association at its annual convention in New York disclosing clearly the bash reason for tho present situation. Reforestation and conservation of timber are recommended as th key to the holution of the problem. The corollary is that the scarcity of paper may be attributed to forest devastation and the omission to replant a timber crop in land that has been denuded of its tree growth. In course of time cheap hydro-electric energy, an essential in the establishment of a pulp factory, will enable the paper manufacturers to makr use of the vast HUpplies of virgin spruce in Alaska. Washington and Oregon. This will rrovide relief, although there will be transportation dirlicultios Involved. Freight charges in transporting paper or pulp from such a distance will make the northwest a less satisfactory source of supply for a great majority of publishers. Therefore the soundest plan In tho lone: run to meet the problem is to grow pulp wood close, at hind on lands now idle which are not suitable for agriculture or other purroses. The American Paper and Pulp association has proposed a sensible, far-sichted method of solving the paper problem. Trees are slow of growth; years will elapse before seedlings now set out will be ready for tho pulp factory. The more reason, then, why the program of reforestation should be started at once. To provide for future par er needs, the vast tracts of desert land throughout the country, particularly in th mountainous regions, should be planted in forests. The experience we are even now undergoing contains a suggestion of the penalty that we will pay if we defer applying the remedy to the paper trouble. The congressional effort to api ear economical, accordinsly promises eventually to bring against it the charge, of an inexcusably brainless parsimony. I'eonomy and partisan penuriousness that works inJury' ire not economy at all.

OVERALLS AND GINGHAM DRESSES AND THE MOB SPIRIT. The mob spirit th.it has taken hold of the overall, the gingham dress, ar.d the lunch box movements and that i.s what it is; the same mob spirit that organizes strikes. has about reached the point that calls for serious comment. We call it the "mob iplrit" because, if we American people were th thrifty, industrious lot that we should be, it woul.l not be necessary to inaugurate such a movement, filled with tint enthusiasm, to accomplish the pur1 oscs at which it is aimed. P.ut no. we run amuo!: with our extra vairanrc, ;oinp with the crowd, driving prices to the top notch, and then when ue have about reached the limit, somebody lets out a scream, crganlzes a retreat, and we .see the same mob rcceding that only a few days before, we observed pushing to tho fre. extravagantly aiming to buy up everything on the eour.ters. and at the highest prb es. This whole situation is the price of American snobbery; of the ropu'ar anxiety for "Keeping up with l.zlc." Ar.d it works both ways, We all decry the strike, oh cs! organized labor is o,uito consistently dnrr.r.eü j.y all f us. because it is trying to i:et money cr.ouuh in waces for its member?, to buy 1-ack what it helps to produce, after such product-? have run the gauntlet of the profiteers and are ready for the ultimate consumer, as the last victim. Its way of f-ghtir.c the 11. i of L. is to try to get money enough to bnv it u . Th overall and gingham flubs prop.-.sc r:ght it; well, after a manner that merely shift? it from one article to another. or rthrr add another t the same category. The overall ar.d clr.ch.im manuf.u tun rs and dealers are no different than nnyone ' el With tho increased demand they arc bootlm: the price a burden for those w ho mut wear o rails and ginghams. This is proven already. We are, indfd. a nvb spirited people The republicanl.if thtir e b ph t:;t. the d-mocrats their donkey, ar.d th pi d.-.bitior ists their camel appropriate emblems l it the emblem of the American 1 i !e. thrown into tht ma. v. is th- band-wagon; one of those ..rrj-all a t f a r; ge m n t s th tt we, as mall toys, nearly broke our necks to get onto back

in Ihc 30. In that respect we have Just about as much sT.se as dad's aheep; always chasing tho bellweather, the bl: noLso. Darwin fays we may havo les-ondod frora the monkey. One of tho bet proofs Is our instinct for imitation; going with the crowd "Keeping up with I,lzzie," no difference which way she i hoaded. If every wearer of overalls will take to himself the modiolno he is prescribing for others, and in his own hu-iness. whatever it may b. chax.ge only .such prices as mean a Just Interest on his investment and no profiteering, or give 100 percent labor for 100 percent, his protest will amount to something. If every woman who wears a cotton dress or a two-year-old suit will practice in every department of her housekeeping and personal spending such economy that no grafting denier can was fat at her expense, she will truly bo of service in reducing high prices. If every home-packed lunch means that the person who eats It Is really turning his attention to ordering and eating simple food, containing the 'greatest amount of nourishment forthe smallest outlay, and if the packer of the lunch is started upon the? same sort of campaign, and will keep on with it after the enthusiasm of novelty has disappeared, then we shall see lasting: results upon the H. C. L. If overalls and ginghams merely conceal persistently profiteering hearts. If the packed lunch is only a, temporary fad of tho person too greedy to reduce his diet for the sake of his own welfnnp and humanity's, why tho eountry might better turn Its attention to something else. Otherwise, just like Omar, we shall inevitably come out by that same door where in we went sadder, no wiser, and poorer than ever. Iet us not shift any more of the burden of the IT. C. I to the workingman who must have overall?, or to the women who must wear ginghams'; that Is, at least, let us not do it without consistency. Thrift is what we need; thrift as a substitute for extravagance. If the little extra money you are getting burns your pocket, put it in a savings bank and have th"m give you f. receipt for it written on asbestos. That won't burn. Huy just what you need, without splurging and then see that you get the value out of what you buy, if it is there to.be gotten out; remembering always that value is a relative term. Th organized boycott is Just as reprehensible as the strike. It is built on the hame principle.

CENSUS INACCURACIES. The cenuH enumeration for South llend ;ivinjt our population, is quite ce rtaln to be reported beforo main- days, and then, like as not, look out for a great howl. Population may not have increased since 1910, as we have been advertising that it lias, wherefore, of course, the fault will be that of the enumerators not the advertising. As populations ar? announced complaints are always heard that the census was inaccurately and eare'essly taken. Such charges may be well founded, or otherwise. Cities that arc disappointed in the opulation gala as shown by tho count might naturally no difposed to lay the situation to carelessness on the part of the enumerators. Where rivalry exists, between urban communities the loser in a contest for population seeks an excuse and to charge that there wore gross errors In the court offers an explanation. On the other hand padding the census is not unknown, though Just what Is gained by resorting to that is not apparent. To claim that a city has a greater population than it actually possesses does not make it better in which to live and carry on business. Size Is by no means the only standard by which a city should be Judged, though its enterprise and resources are likely to bQ gauged by its growth from decade to decade on the principle tnat a live town grows, a dead one stands still. Since war work cave a great boost to those cities in which the manufacture of munitions was carried on to the- greatest extent. It is natural that cities which failed to participate in that industry should suffer in comparison, and to this may be due the disparity between what the citizens thought the census shoul'l show and what it docs phow. That there are inaccuracies in the census Ls doubtless true. It would be too much to expect that it were otherwise, but those who believe it grossly Inaccurate will have to present tangible, evidence In support of their case. Errors and omissions are likely to be pretty generally distributed and to affect about all alike.

The New York preacher who Announced from his pulpit where drinks could be purchased, possibly has discovered that that sort of information is Just what a lot of people have looked for.

France is troubled about her 2.000,000 of marriageable girls. Had the Yankee soldiers remained there a little longer the problem would have been soled.

KM Fl TIUCI1KHS AT HOMH. (Kansas City Star.) Kvery community needs teachers. In every community are many persons who would make good teachers, but who do not enter the profession. Also in every community there are teachers who aro planning to leave and go elsewhere to teach or to enter other professions. Why? Salary partly, but mostly because tht teacher, like the prophet, is without honor in his own country. Making .the hom schools safe for home talent' will help to solve tho teacher shortage. There must be good salaries, of course. Teachers teach because they need money. There must also be sane protection against the- spoils system. It is an old story in many communities for a new superintendent and his assistants to llnd jobs for their friends at the expense of local teachers, or to belittle them so that they must resign in self-respect. locs the community know about it or do anything about It? Do the patrons of each school know the material of the teaching force? If they have a'n up-to-date, accomplished, gifted teacher, will they encourage Jier with salary Increases and back her against unfair discrimination? Will she have the prestige which is her due, as she would in any other business? How many good teachers have left the communi::., and why? That will tell the story. How many young peop who would make fine teachers are doing something else instead? Keep the home tires burning until all the cumbering dross and all the unfairness which is driving home teaching talent away from home is burned up, and then sec how rapidly the teacher shortage becomes a thine of the past

onions an i:irroiu.i.. The onion is an innocent appearing fruit, and like the raisin is entirely okey and harmless if allowed to roam by itself unattended. Sometimes the onion Is found to grow in a wild state and '.s very difficult to capture; in fact it usually has to be sneaked up on in such an eventuality. The onion long has been an outcast from civilization. Recently, people seeking something stronger than near beer for sustenance, have turned to the onion as a solution of their problem. The eating of onions, at one timea vice practiced secretly, has in the past few months been indulged in openly and ls fast becoming a menace to the peace and prosperity of our liberty loving nation. Imagine a victim with any liberty after he has been munching a batch of new green onions with strength enough to melt diamonds or plate glass. Deserted by his friends, avoided by everybody, the victim of onions wanders .around through alleys until the humane ntlicer shoots him, or death comes to his relief in some other shape. If the practice Is continued, we would strongly urge separate compartments in street cars for onion eaters. We would make them wear masks in theaters, and forbid them from mingling in public gatherings wherever possible. If America ls to live and prosper, the deadly onion must be squelched by the- iron hand of the government. Slavery come near busting up the union. Onions have Just such a strangle hold on the lives and prosperity of our people. The onion must go!

nKirriLV Rertha. signifying bright, has an extraordinary ecclesiastical flavor. In old German chronicles, the feast of Theophania is translated by a word meaning brightened night, and the root of that word was 'perahta.' How perahta. or berahta. became an Individual character Is too Involved for space here, but it is sufficient to say' that Perahta. or Pertha, was a sacred being, called, in an old Alsatian poem, the mild Rerchte. in whose honor all young farmers dance, ring cattle bells and blow whistles throughout the night of

the feast. She is pictured as haired woman with a creeps into nurseries

little children neglected by their nurses. In other stories, she is used as a figure of terror to frighten children and is the avenger of idle spinners. Frau Pertha, is undoubtedly the impersonation of the Fpiphany. though there is an effort to connect hT with the old mythical Ifuldr. and other etynologists believe her to be another name for the Goddess Freya, wife of Odin. One of the most famous Berthas was the wife of Pepin and mother of Charlemagne, known as "Hertha aux grands pleds." Another Pertha of historical fame was her daughter sister of Charlemagne and wife of Orlandao. who being jn great want, supported herself spinning until her son won recognition from his powerful uncle. Recause of Queen Pertha of Switzerland, the name has always been very popular there. It has also had great vogue in Kngland since the Norman Conquest of Chllperic. King of Paris, and wife of Kth?lbert of Kent, who smoothed the way for St. Augustine's mission.

SATURDAY. APRIL 21. Fxeept for some unique or romantic experience this promises to be a day of small annoyances and anxieties. In social, domestic and affectional matters tho prospect is rather an unhappy one, as Venus in square aspect with Luua promises to upset the harmonious trend of these engagements. And yet by way of exception to this Is the mutual position of Jupiter conjoined with the eccentric and mystical planet Neptune, which is a vigration of unusual significance for those attuned to its exquisite key. Advanced souls may watch this beautiful conjunction with interest and make note of their experiences, which may be on the interior planes of unfoldment. Those whose birthday it is may expect an Interesting but not eventful year If pursuing commonplace lines. Avoid change and travel.
