The Revival in Lumber ' Who tlm fellow Ik that started the. Klory of a revival In tho lumber mar' kft tho Ohsnrvnr knoweth not. Jlut we do know people nrn talking It up nnd down the eoat. Itallroads nre proimrlns for n 1Ik revival' In Inni i her right after tho first of tlm yejir, We hope tho Htory 1r nuthentie, but somehow llhc Donhtlnf; Thomas or tho man from Allunoiirl, we'll have to be shown. True, tho trans portation linos havo mnde a small reduction In tho lumber rate; It 1b true that retail yards urn out of stork; It Is true that the country 1h woefully short on houses and stores and oil kinds of buildings, but It Is also true, that tho buying power of tho great consumer tho f armor Is at low ebb. Ills financial pulse Is beating about aa regular as tho trips of Union's railroad train over to Cove during a winter storm. We may have tho wrong oiiKle When wo stick to our early t'enchlui; that farmers must be proxpnrous In order for other lines of industry to prosper; probably this Is wrong; tho country may be nhlo to build nnd consume lumber and other 'products with tho fanner down nnd almost out. Many changes have surprised us and this may bo nnothtr. Let us hope the lumber mnrket will do Just what many claim for It hpgln to whoop 'er up heavy right uftor tho first of tho year.

A few days later the document was withdrawn high. "Oh, Ihn old milch cow Is Just what sho tisod to ho," nnd that's no fable. When ?ed was high nnd tho going good many ranchers sold their cows. They did not want to milk and be bothered with caring for those cows. Then times chnnged. Tho going Kot worse, and the money did not romo In by gobs. The old milch cow began to grow Id dignity until today hardly a rancher them Is but who would welcome a siring of n dozen good uilliii cows. One rancher said to tho Observer tho other day: "I kept my rows; when I was out for u day I made it back In tlmn to milk, and today 1 am not In such bad shape.

Abolish the Submarine The Now York Times' suggests that it would do no 'harm to the world and probably do good, It the submarine were abolished. Certainly if that could !be done, unanimously, humanity everywhere would beavo a sigh jf relief. Hut Is It possible, today? Disarmament like every other ra tional process necessarily proceeds step by step. A big step (has been' tuen in regard to battleships. Oth er important steps aro planned, aim ing to restrict tho use of buttle cruls- oi s, submarines and alrpluues fori distunt use and therefore for pur-. posus of uggresslon. All the eni-i phusls Is 'pluced on legitimate dc-j fense. It Is reccgnlzcd that suh muiliH's of moderate size are es-! peclally udapted to defensive use, uml It Is tho small powers jmrtlcul- urly that insist on retaining them, i There Is little prospect, there fore, of abolishing the, submarine; until, by closer International organ ization and better collective action, peace Is so strongly assured that Individual nations k;se their (ears. thing that there are kindly souls willing to act as parents. !ut In no instance should anything which even remotely Bavors of selling n child bo permitted. Children are too precious to be estimated in cash, and the precedent of such procedure Is too dangerous.
