-j OUR FAST DISAPPEARING FORESTS
Evidence of genuine interest in the reservation of
our forests is manifesting itself throughout Georgia,
thanks to the Georgia Forestry Association, and al
though considerable headway has been made in the
campaign to prevent the ruthless destruction of vaI-_
uable timber, yet there is still much work to be done
along this line and the sooner public interest be-
comes thoroughly aroused to the situation confront
ing us, the greater will be the saving, and the less
Will be the deprivation of future generations, whose
big problem will be the scarcity of lumber by reason
of the wanton wastefulness of their forebears.
The rapidity with which our vast timber resorce*
are disappearing by reason of legitimate pursuits—
he. manufacture of lumber for building purposes—is
in itself sufficient to ultimately precipitate famine
conditions, in the absence of a -system of reforestra-
tion; and when the terrific loss by forest fires is add
ed to this, the process of dissipation is quickened to
Br degree that challenges the sober consideration of
all good citizens. In Georgia alone, it is estimated
that one million dollars worth of timber is destroyed
annually by preventable forest fires. Add to this,
several million dollars-more of timber that ’is con
verted into lupiber, and it can be readily seen that,
unless something is done, it will not be many more
years before the 33,000 Georgia families who are
dep endent upon the lumber industry for a-livelihood,
will be emigrating to other parts, not to mention
the serious problem of a lumber shortage that the
state will have to solve.
.lit is difficult to arouse public concern in a matter,
such as this, until they begin to feel the actual pinch,
but in the case of our fast disappearing forests, the
applicaion of remedial measures after the pinch is
felt will require a generation to improve conditions.
The time for action is the present Steps in the right
direction have been taken in the employment by the
. state of a forest Conservation agent, Mr. Solon L.
r Parkes, and plans are now being made to obtain en
actment by the next general Assembly of legislation
ttyit is designed to at least reduce destruction by for- .
l.-est fires to a minimum. The Georgia Forestry Asso- ~
_ ciation, the D. A. R. and other organizations are
actively engaged in a campaign of education along
conservation lines, and it is to be hoped that when the
-Legislature meets, this question will recieve the at
tention which its importance entitles it to.
jv. ™E NEXT PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
-‘ .ii W th Con 8T ess nearing the end of the session, the
next national election begins to loom on the political
horizon. There are two outstanding facts which are
seen in this situation; one is that President Harding
is certain to be the Republican candidate to succc'd
himself, and the other i» that the Democrats, feeling
assured of the election of their candidate, are now
beginning to consider seriously the choice of a man to
beat Harding. They realize that Harding is the only
logical man for the place, and that he must remain
iheir standard-bearer, or go down with his party.
Swapping horses crossing a stream at this stage of
.the ,game t would simply mean suicide. The public
Jas already got a line on Harding and hi* pet moves,
ana consequently the Democrats must furnish the in
teresting, figures and activities of the .campaign.
-William Gibbs McAdoo is now holding the center
W-tue stage. McAdoo is no eleventh hour man. He

interest.

OUT OF FASHION
The women don't faint any more,
They Rcldom go flop on the floor,
They’re tougher, more agile
Than all of those fragile
And delicate damsels whom Thack
ary told About-
Sighing and weeping in anguish
completo;
Girls of today, whom the dowagers
scold about.
Smile at their troubles—and slay
on their feet!
The women don’t faint any more,
A fact whirl) 1 cannot deplore.
Their waists aren't constricted
And tliey'm not afflicted
With vapors and other anch femin
ine maladies.
Due to tight lasing and lack el
good air.
Nowadays any young lady v.Ti't
pallid Is
Told to eat beefsteak end ether
' such. fare.
•
The women don’t feint any more,
it wouldn't get by, as of yore,
The fainting and sighing
Would prove very trying
And presently lead to some nerve
sanitarium.
For fainting went out when the
ragtime began,
And nowadays women, when luck
seems to harry "eyi,
Bear all their sorrows and wees
like a man.

"Better Secif tKe
Motor Needs Oil"
Get in the ^iabit of saying this to your
dealer whenever you stop for . gasoline,
water or air. Remember, that the only
way you can tell whether or not your mo
tor needs oil is; first, by the simple way
of looking at the guage, and second, by
the expensive way of finding out too late ,
that cylinders have been scored and bear
ings burned thru your forgetting to keep
up the supply of oil.
Sufficient quantity, the right quality,
the proper weight or grade of oil, and the
replacing of oil after it has been worn out
by six or seven hundred miles .of run
ning—these are the important things to
watch; and. given proper attention, you
can avoid the bother and expense of most
motor troubles.
