Escambia county delegates gained
every request asked .of the State Road
'Department at Tallahassee, Wednesday,
after ' an argument which lasted : until
10. o'clock Wednesday night. The dele
gates caught the midnight train and
arrived in Pensacola yesterday morn

Whereas, it has been made known
to the commissioners that the various
civic organizations of Santa Rosa and
Escambia counties, Florida, together
with the boards of county commis
sioners of said counties, have held a
joint meeting in Pensacola on the 25th
dsr of March," A. D., 1920, and adopted
a resolution signifying their acceptance
of a bridge location over the delta of
le Escambia river near .what is known
s Floridatown-Fcrry Pass and Thomp-
bn Bivou-Sandridge and have pledged
to secure the right of way and to put

American ' Forrestry Association of

handles her forests. France teaches
a great lesson to this country, the as

ing situation and the great demand for
lumber at this time in printing the
warning' of Col. William B. Greeley, a
director of the Ameifoan Forestry
Association and the new chief for
ester ot the XTnited States. During the
war the bipgest regiment in the world,
the Twentieth Engineers Forest, had
an opportunity to get an idea of
French forest management. On this
subject Col. Greeley, of that regi
ment, writes in the American For
estry Magazine:
"A lumberjack sergeant of the
Twentieth Engineers remarked that
the lumber business in France seemed
to be concerned more with ' growing
trees than cutting them into boards.
That in a nutshell is the difference be
tween the timberland owner in France
and the timber baron of America. The

engineers of Santa Rosa and Escambia
counties, for the purpose of determin

submit to this department a profile of
the most feasible route, with test bor

KASELACK BALES FIRST
ALFALFA IN ESCAMBIA
Edwin Kaselaek of Richland Farms,
has baled what is believed to be the
first Alfalfa hay grown In quantity in
Escambia county. Mr. Kaselack baled
.500 pounds of Alfalfa a few days ago.
He his six acres and expects to get
from 6 to 10 crops this year, depending
on tho weather. In the north and west
the hay averages 3 to 5 crops a year
and it is believed twice as much can
be gi own here.

"To us in the United States, . who
are wont to think of forestry as pos
sible only for the nation or state, it is
of interest to know that two-thirds of
the wonderfully conserved forests of
France are owned by private citizens.
The technical care of these 16 million
acres of private forests does. not dif
fer, in essential "respects, from that
given to the state and communal
properties.
"About 30 per cent of them, how
ever, are devoted to the production of
hardwood . fuel, with crops . every 20
years, whereas the aim of the public
forests is to grow as much large tim
ber as possible. Upon her privately
owned tovesi3, France thus depends
for the bulk .f her lumber and fuei
wood. Private forestry is a. vital fac
tor in her national econmy.
"The hardwood coppice, or sprouts,
which furnish the bulk of the wood
fuel of the country and were cut over
enormous areas to- keep the American
army warm, have an average value on
the stump of probably $4.00 per cord.
The value of a fuel crop grown on a
well managed forest m 20. years
ranges from $50 to $60 an acre as it
stands In the woods; and an additional
stumpage return is usually realized
from 'the small brush or fagot wood,.
The stumpage values of the principal
timber trees of France aversged, in
1917, at least five times the prevailing
prices of similar species in the United
States. Maritime pine stumpage in
the Landcs. comparable to rather low
grade ahortleaf pine in the southern
states, sold for around $26 per thou
sand board feet. The oak timber cf
all grades, bought by our army in the
Loir River Valley and in the upnr
watershed of the Marne. probably av
eraged $36 per thousand board feet on
the stump. The silver fire and spruce
which we obtained In the Vosges and
Jura mountains, timber averaging 6
or 8 logs to the thousand feet, cost
about $50 per thousand standing in
the forests; but In buying selected pil
ing we sometimes exceeded $90 per
thousand board feet. And do not over
look the fact that these- prices were
obtained for stumpage grown as thick
as the species and class of product
permit.
"The lumber manufacturing indus
try has grown up upon and adapted it
self to a system of forest manage
ment which permits but small cut
tings at any one place in any one
year or series of years. Cases are
rare when the well being and' perm
anence of the forest are sacrificed to
the requirements of a manufacturing
enterprise an exact opposite of the
situation so common In the United
States where the. manufacturer owns
the timber and has denuded one for
est region after another in order to
supply his large, stationary mill to
their maximum capacity. While this
relation is largely a result rather than
a cause of the economic status of pri
vate forestry in France, it indicates
the industrial adjustments which will
become necessary in America as our
emphasis shifts from the supplying
sawmills to growing timber.
The situation of France today is a
striking warning that the United
States can ill-afford the national loss
of idle land. Public agencies doubt
less must assume the greater part of
the immediate task of growing t racer
on our idle cut-over lan 1. But pub
licly owned forests cannot do all of it
In the United States any mora than in
France. Our national policy should
aim definitely and unequivocally at
tha practice of forestry by private
owners as rapidly as that can be
brought about by letter methods of
taxing timberland, by ths co-operation
and educational help of state and
federal agencies, and by the recogni
tion, on an equitable basi. of the ob
ligations carried by fores; ownership.-

VALPARAISO
-2
To' combat propaganda that the Ital
ian government is financially unsound
and that the country is threatened with
revolution, the Italian minister of war
has sent the following telegram to all
consuls in the United States:
Italian Finances Very Prosperous.
The economic and financial vitality
of our country is demonstrated by no
uncertain sighs. The increase in sav
ings of eighteen billion lire, almost
equaling the amount of all the fiduciary
currency. The noticeable betterment
of the commercial balance. The in
crease in revenue for the budget ex
penditures, as well as a beginning in the
reduction of extraordinary expense.
The stoppage -of any further increase
in paper circulation -by the program
of the minister -of the treasury, who
is keeping his promise to diminish it.
The endurance maintained during the
war period continues in the present
economic struggle, despite the great
need of liquidation and reconstruction
resulting from the war. It is true that
there is some social agitation, but
Italians, like all other free people, now
and then talk of excessive deed ftor tho
reason .that they never act them. Yet
thisvmoment will also go-by and con
fidence will again shine upon our
sacred nation always full of faith in
the future.

Minister of Treasury.

Valparaiso held her first political
meeting last Friday, when Senator
Fletcher talked for an hour on the
wide veranda of the Bayshore hotel to
fully 200 citizens. The senator and
his party were well pleased with what
they saw of our development and they
spent some time in looking around.
The dinner at, the hotel was enjoyed
by the senator and his party.
A full half mile of Bayshore drive
was hard surfaced during the week
and the work is progressing rapidly.
Heavy fills and grades delayed the
work somewhat, but now that these
are finished the work will proceed
much faster. Soon Valparaiso will
have, more hard surfaced streets than
any city in west Florida except Pen
sacola. More than 100 new bungalows are
contemplated for this year.

Sulphur Turns Gray,
Hair Dark and
Glossy.
Almost everyone kriows that Sag Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings
back the natural color and lustre to the
hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
Compound." You will get a large bottle
of this old-time recipe improved by the
addition of other ingredients, at very little
cost. Everybody uses this preparation
now, because no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does It so
naturally and evenly. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another appli
cation ot two, your hair becomes beauti
fully dark, thick and glossy and you look
years j'ounger. Adv.
Pays as an Investment
If you have a house or dwelling that you
want to rent or sell, -it will pay you to
wire for Electric Service.
The house wired for Electric Light is al
ways in demand and will bring" you con
siderably mere rental and a larger sale
price than the dwelling without this
great, modern convenience. Thus .the
cost of wiring is returned to you in a
short time after which your invest
ment pays you a substantial return.
The unwired dwelling is literally a drug
on the market. Nobody wants to buy. it
.no one wants to live in it, unless com
pelled to do so by necessity.
