The profession of expert forester Is rapidly assuming a high Importance In thla country and no better opportunity to learn It thoroughly can be found than In tha government service. Tha position of forest ranger offers the additional advantage that a man can earn a living salary while learning- the business. The forest rangers are the men who actively patrol the different reserves and protect them from fire and depre dation. The pay for the beginner Is 720 a year.

Here is an example worth reading: Mrs. A. Canavan of 330 Lincoln street, Portland, Or., says: "I was led to rec ommend Doan'B Kidney Pills three years ago from the great relief I had found in a case of kidney complaint which had annoyed me for a long time. I tried other remedies previously, but Doan's Kidney Pills were the only rem edy that helped me. My trouble had lasted for three years during which tUjrie I suffered from Irregular action of the kidneys and backache. At times I was in such misery with the aching and weakness that I could not rest in any position. I suffered from headaches and dizziness and could hardly attend to the simplest of household duties. Doan's Kidney Pills freed me from thia miserable existence and I never have lost an opportunity to reoommend the remedy.

An Interesting Answer to This Question Just Pub lished by a Chicago Company Which Made a Comparative Canvass of the Field The Results Show That Independent Investors Comprise Not Alone the Best Class in the Community, but the Shrewdest Bankers Who Always Want Both Safety and Profit Predominate. Chicago. A most important compilation of facts bearing on the character of the people who hold In dependent teiejpnone securities nas just Deen maae public by E. B. Overshiner of this city, president of the Swedish-American Telephone Manufacturing Co. It has been one of the favorite arguments of the Bell press bureaus that only the "inexperienced" can as a general thing "be induced to invest their money in the so-called Independent companies, which the experienced know must of necessity fail." So persistently has this stock story been circulated through the press that it has almost come to be believed in certain sections of the east, where the real and substantial character of the Independent movement is still but imperfectly understood. The facts presented here will therefore be a revelation to this class. In the west, of course, where practically everyone knows that it is the best element in the community that runs and controls the Independent telephone business, the data will not cause surprise, even though no one has ever before taken the trouble to put it together in the graphic shape in which it is presented by Mr. Overshiner, who says in intro ducing his statement: "We selected at random one thousand Independent Telephone companies 'throughout the United States and ascertained the number of stockholders and the different lines of business represented by the stock holders. Herewith we give the data as we received j it: Bank officials and directors 625 Merchants 3,830 Farmers 1,906 Physicians 429 Electric light men 367 Manufacturers 980 Lawyers 104 Millers .' Capitalists 303 Unable to secure data 1,189 "By this example It will be seen that the Inde pendent Telephone business is made up of the beat business men in each community. Today there ara 7,000 Independent Telephone companies in the Uni ted States, and if we take the above data aa befcs; a fair average, which we believe it la, we have the following personnel: Bankers 4,375 Merchants 268X0 Farmers 1342 Physicians 3,003 Electric light men 2,569 Manufacturers 8,660 lawyers 728 Millers 336 Capitalists , 2,114 Miscellaneous callings 8,323 70,250 In closing, the compiler of these facts and figures draws this conclusion: The above statistics demonstrate, oeyona doubt, that Independent Telephony is one of the strongest industries in the world, as well aa the most remarkable. The moral strength, coupled with. the fine sentiment found in all Independent con. panies. together with the individual responsibilitjk has built up an industry representing millions of dollars; a business based upon the broad plan of Independence and ot tne people. - As further demonstration of the strength of the Independent movement among the shrewdest class of men in the community, the Swedish-American Co. is also circulating a pamphlet issued by the Independent Telephone Co. of Petersburg.
