Whether this change Is for the bet

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? Spokane Chronicle.

OCR TIMIll lt.
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.
