"Dad,” said the financier's son, run:

“What for, my boy I”
“I’ve got a sure tip on the market”
“How much shall we make out of

“A couple of hundred sure,” replied
the boy eagerly. “That’s a hundred
each."
“Here’s your hundred,” said his fa-
ther. “Let's consider that we have

Did you know about the

The original forests of the United
States have been estimated as contain-
ing 822,000,000 acres, which lias been
reduced by cutting, cultivating and
burning to 137,000,000 acres; or, to put
it another way, our virgin stands have
been reduced to one-sixth of their orig-
inal urea. Sixty per cent of the orig-
inal timber stund is gone, leaving us a
balance of approximately 2,214,000,000,-
000 feet of merchantable timber, says
Norman W. Scherer, assistant profes-
sor of forestry, Ohio State university.
Now that we know what our balance
amounts to, we may logically ask the
question: “What is our annual con-
sumption?” It includes an average
annual cut of 40,000,000,000 feet of
lumber, somewhere between 100,000.-
000 and 125,000,000 railroad
4.500,000 cords of pulpwood,
about 110,000,000 cords of fuel,
der normal conditions, our per capita
consumption of timber amounted to
between 500 and 525 board feet, but
witli the pressure of war tills was
brought down to approximately 300
board feet, and we are stm suffering
from the economic curtailment. The
average consumption for Europe
amounts to 60 board feet per ca-plla,
while for all other countries it is about
four board feet. The average for the
worftl population of 1,600,000,000 as
saw material is 40 board feet.
Our tremendous consumption of
lumber has been a most potent factor
In elevating our standard of living, and
it would not be a happy solution of
the problem to curtail our consump-
tion. Bather let us Increase our pro-
duction.
The annual cut and destruction of
timber amounts to 26,000,000,000
cubic feet, while the annual growth
amounts to only 6,000,000,000 cubic
feet. We are consuming timber, then,
about five tiuies as fast as we are pro-
ducing it.

TT IS not correct to use the word
1 "at” or the word “to" after the wort)
"where,” as in the sentences, “When |
were you at last Sunday?” and "Where I
were you going to?” Say, instead, i
“Where were you last Sunday?" and
"Where were you going?” This il
one example of many in English in
which the speaker or writer uses toq
many words to express his meaning
The sentence, “Where am I at?” at-
tracted much attention about 20 yean
."go when it was used by a speakei
in the house of representatives. Th<
member was making a long speech,
tilled with lung sentences. Not muclt
attention was being paid to him, and
T||jnrn f^Alkin rA CT lost his place' while uttering on«
IlVlDtn uUUlvI I AO I "f ,iis hing sentences. So be turned
to tlie speaker and asked: "Mr. Speak,
er. where am I at?” The reporters I
took advantage of the opportunity t«
poke fun at him, mid the phrase was
repented and laughed at all over ths
United States. i

Impart new vigor to my life.
