One thing is certain, it Is drawing at tention to the work of the churches, and bringing these organizations nearer to the world. Is the church losing In earnestness? Is It replacing Its best line of work by a search for popularity. Or Is it simply entering a new era of broad-minded enterprise and practical work for the good of mankind?

Statistics gathered by the bureau of tho census and the forest service show thut the quantities of timber used last year fir lumber, shinnies, ties, pulpwoml, cooperage stock, mine iimoers, mm, dimillatlon, veneer, poles, tanning and turpentine and ros in expressed lu board feet, reach n total of approximately CO billion board feet. While these drains upon the forest are known with reasonable certainty, there are others of which there Is no record. Those nre the demand for posts, fuel and domestic purposes, regarding which It Is more difficult to obtain Information, because the products often puss through no mar ket, but are consumed on the farm where they were produced. Careful estimates, however, place the total of wood used for fuel alone at an equiv alent of SO billion board feet a year It will be seen, then, that tho pres ent consumption of wood In all forms la above 100 billion board feet annu any. Estimating the forest area of the United States at from 600 to 700 million acres, and the annual growth at 80 board feet per acre, the yearly Increase Is from SO to 42 billion feet. At this rate, the annual growth bare ly equals the amount consumed for lumber alone. Considering all the drains, the annual consumption of wood Is probably three times the an nual growth. Deluded estimates of standing timber range from 1400 to S000 billion feet. I'slng the larircri figure, and considering the AMERICA CAN SAVE. America has been called an extrav agant nation, and the people have been classed as spendthrifts. The fig ures given out by the savings bank of the country, however, show the people of the United Slates to be a thrifty as well as those of other coun tries. There Is on deposit in the postal and savings banks of the world 111,- S01, 229,1109. The United States Is redlted with $3, 4S2, 137.198, or near 'y one-third of the savings dsposlts of the world. It has nearly as much at. Great Britain and Germany combined. althouKh the population of the two latter countries exceeds that of th United States by about 20 per cent. The savings banks accounts gener ally represent the savings of people of at least moderate circumstances Ihls would lead one to' believe thu the man who works for a living in America must be In a much better financial condition lliun his European brother. It shows that the American has not put In all his time spending money, but has managed to save a considerable amount. The banks alone do not tell the wealth of the people. There are other forms of Investment, such as land, stock and timber, and In this, tho American leuds the foreigner. r'i f 1 JANUARY 20 I will sell every article in ALE KBRUARY 10 the stores at actual COST for CASH ONLY AJ..;V-""sv -V' ''i-UA 23 175 Ranges Iron Beds 1 35 Mattresses, all kinds 28 Heating Stoves and V 15 Dressers 300 Chairs and Rockers 50 Center Stands A large stock of Granite and Tinware, Lamps, Crockery, Silverware goes at cost.
