English would undoubtedly be the most suit Clothing and Furnishings for Men Sell for More Today Than Ever Before and Will Be Much Higher Priced for the Spring. These high prices are partly caused by general inflation, which brings the dollar down to less than fifty cents as measured by what it will pur-, chase, but more directly caused by lack of supply to meet the demand. This condition will be remedied some time, but the time is not in sight. So we can only urge patron and friend to buy clothes now for a year ahead and save from 30 to 50 per cent on the purchase. We give the following notice of advance in price on a few items: Shirts will cost you from $1 to $5 apiece more for the spring season than. now; underwear, about the same advance per garment; hats, from 1 to $3 more than now; suits of clothes, from $10 to $25 more. You can't afford to defer buying until the spring, when you must pay; these great advances.

We feel that Buch a survey should be of an economic character, taking into consideration transportation markets, as well as actual survey of timber resources. In the eastern states we have a situation which does not exist in the northwest, and the college of forestry believes that the state of - New York and other eastern states must take up seriously.the question of using hard woods for the manufacture of paper. I feel that the survey which you have proposed should not only cover the northwest states, but should be applied to the. eastern forests. That the paper situation is so serious in the country that we should not only have a survey of the larger areas of timber in the northwest and In Alaska, but we should have better knowledge of the great areas of forest lands in the eastern states. When Xew York is farming less than one-half of her land area, Pennsyl vania less than 10,000,000 out of its 20,000.000 acres and so on, in the eastern states, it is time that these states and the nation should have accurate information as to the possibilities of using non-agricultural land for the production of tim ber for pulp and lumber. We can no more afford to let forest lands re main idle than we can afford to let agricultural land become unproduc tive.

MONTREAL, Jan. 31. An embargo on the export of pulpwood and pulp to the United States would lead to retaliation. Sir Andrew McPhail, of McGill university, declared Friday in speech before the convention of the Canadian Pulp & Paper associa tion. He added that if the United States retaliation should cut off the supply of coal to Canada for one year "every building in Montreal would be frozen out before spring."
