Is in reality only a great monstrosity j toward humanity. “Your monstrous earthly polities! are nearly always inspired by th ! personal ambitions of a few individ uals. it is unpardonable wlckadneai for men to warn people that tlydr vi tality in relation to liberty is at stake.

Barbers' Strike WASHINGTON, May 13.—Georgia, producing 6.805 tons in nine plants principally from yellow pine, next to Virginia leads all Southern States in the manufacture of excelsior. The figures are for the year 1911. as compiled by tlie Bureau of the Census. Total production for the United States in 1911 was 139.830 tons, of which Virginia’s output was 25,160 tons, leading all states. Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi the Carolinas. and Texas take unimportant rank with one and two plants each. Excelsior has been manufactured in this country for more than fifty > ears. It was first placed on the market in 1860. but for the ten suc ceeding years it was not in great de mand. Since then, it has become a staple commodity for many impor tant uses, until now over 85.000,000 feet of forest material are needed I each year to meet the demand. j Excelsior might be called ribbon veneer, since it is made by cutting | wood into very thin strands. The size of the strand, with the kind and color of the wood, gauges the price and grade. The thinnest grades are called wood wool. The finish prod uct is baled by a press such as is, used for baling hay, and in this form I it goes to market. The first government record of the! excelsior industry is contained in the reports of the Tenth Census (1880), from 300 to 400 me only the' value of the raw material, terrorized patrons, amounting to $150,800. being shown. Denis eight customers, their faces Assuming the value of a cord at the I covered with lather, were driven into time to have been $2.50. the amount | l be streets. of wood consumed would have been | ...■ m ,n about 60.000 cords, as compared with 142,944 used in 1911. Cottonwood is the favorite excel sior wood, contributing 43.3 per cent, of the total amount consumed. Yellow pine, including scrub, short- leaf, and loblolly, was reported from 11 States, Virginia using Ynore than all the others together. In that State scrub pine was probably the species most largely supplied. The best grades of excelsior are made from basswood. That not more of this is used is due probably to its scarcity and to the, high price of the 8 turn page. Other woods which were used for excelsior were spruce, buckeye, cy- j press, butternut, soft maple, chestnut, birch, hemlock, be&ch, and white cedar.
