Stilt IS CUM MEASURE "The Yankee Four Flusher" Staged fc by De Molay With Remarkable Success Third Annual Show Is .Excellent Comedy Drama; Harold Mero Stands Out in Brilliant Part; Characterization Fine ; I ' By AUDRED BUNCH Of the drama there was no Question, and ; the comedy came mighty close to real life, in speak ing of the De Molay third annual show last night at the - Grand theatre. The play, "Yankee Four Flusher," a remarkably good com edy drama in three character crammed -acts, will be presented again this evening. The house last night was more than moder ately well-filled when the curtain rose on the Hunter home, the living room to be exact n an ordinary evening among people of ordinary circumstances. i The entire - play centered a round the "four-flusher" himself, Harold Mero taking the part. His dramatic ease throughout was commendable, and the audience will feel Archie, and think Archie, and breathe Archie for a week, Archie the braggart the egoist the unaltered dreamer. ;The part of Alice, who after the firet act has become the wife of - Archir Snyder, was taken by Helen Sells who adored him from first to last, and was tte etlll pretty, sister limits, 1430 acres of which be longs to the state. A hard fight is being staged by both factions, and the rooms of the county court were crowded by property owners of the affected area. S Frank W, Durbin, in filing one of the specific objections states that the petition circulated does. not carry signatures, of 50 per cent of the owners of ; the con tiguous swamp land, and that - a large amount of the territory with in the proposed drainage district is high land, and would derive no benefit- from the plan. He also objects to' the tact that signatures of state officers are found on the petition which, 1 he declares, are rendered void by an existing stat ute governing the case. - Three : Vessels Standing By to Give Aid; Danger to Crew Not Known !

PAPER SUPPLY S SEUT! Sufficient Pulpwood for Fu ture Use Only Possible by Careful Management of Forest Service TREE DESTRUCTION MUST GIVE WAY TO CULTURE Domestic Requirements Make Serious Inroads on Na tional Supply i 1 WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. Un der Intensive forest management, sufficient pulpwood to meet fu ture domestic; requirements could be grown in! this country, "but 'if our pulp and paper Industry is to be permanent, forest destruction must give way to timber culture," William B. ' Greely, chief, of the forest service declared in his an nual report to the secretary of ag riculture. Recalling that in 1922; the Un ited States used .8,000,000,000 tons of paper more than half the world consumption and that one million tons of it were Im ported,. Mr. Greely estimates that 1950 the paper Industry will re quire : 15,000,000,000 cords of wood annually. Of the 9,000,000 000 cords of pulp wood used in this country in 1922, he adds only 5,000,000 cords are grown here.,, . "The problem Is complicated," said the report, which was made public tonight by concentration, of the pulp Industry ii the New En gland, middle Atlantic and lake states,, with a resultant drain on forests in those regions. Few milts are situated in. Alaska, on the" PacOTc oastf briffsonthem states which have much larger supplies of pulp timber.' ; Pointing out that to grow timn ber to meet future needs, would require a. decade, the report de scribes- the immediate problem as a need to find enough . timber to keep the pulp industry going. Con fidence is expressed, however, that the advisory committee of pulp manufacturers appointed last year, by the secretary of agriculture; will discover means of alleviating the shortage. , STORM TAKES TOLL DENVER, Colp Dec. 16.

Those desiring to override the., veto succeeded by a vote of 51 to 30 inj getting the Issue be fore the: senate but the parlia mentary situation prevented a de cision and the bill went back to its place- on, tne woie.. The move for immediate con sideration of. the veto was made by Senatorj Ashurst, demorcat, Arizona, , during the hour after Chairman Sterling of the post office committee had introduced a bill proposing Increased postal rates in line with recommenda tions by Postmaster General New. The Arizona senator ohjected to the second reading, of the Sterling bill, thus preventing the measure being referred td a committee. As a result of today's skirmish the postal pay situation, is. prac tically at" a stalemate. Senator. Ashurst said later. The Sterling bill cannot be referred to a 'com mittee for action until routine leg islation is again in order.
