DEARTH OF TIMBER SOON TO BE ALARMING The once wonderful primeval forests of America are three-fifths gone. The other two-fifths rapidly is being depleted. The Nation is face to face with the alternative either of foregoing the use of wood, or else suffering an acute shortage, provided systematic deforestation is not undertaken on a huge scale. Col. W. B. Greely, chief of the United States Forest Service, is speaking vigorously in behalf of forest replenishment. The United States must turn to the growing of timber, he urges. This Nation has reached the turning point in forest resources. Either stop using wood, or else devise ways and means to grow wood upon the millions of acres of idle lands in this country. Even though extensive planting of forest trees should be undertaken at this time, yet there will come a time when the supply of wood will be "hopelessly inadequate," warns Colonel Greely. He advocates putting forest lands which are not needed for agriculture by planting them to timber. He would have the forest owner required to grow trees, "within the limits of equity and common sense," and would give him fair and reasonable public help. Colonel Greely favors some plan of federal encouragement of the states in reforestation and fire-prevention. He also would have the quantity of timber cut controlled by governmental regulation. The importance of this is patent to all thoughtful persons. Depletion peace, the less likelihood of attack being made upon that strategic waterway. The United States, of course, would prefer not to have to maintain these great fortifications. It would prefer to have world conditions such that there would be no prudential necessity of making the canal impregnable against armed attack. But world conditions are not so ideal as this Nation wishes they were. Hence the urge to be prepared successfully to repel any assault that might be made upon this waterway, so vital to the naval defense of the United States in war. SHALL THE U. S. WITHDRAW FROM SAN DOMINGO? The president of the republic of Santo Domingo is quoted as demanding that the United States immediately withdraw its armed forces and re-establish the independence of the country. Dr. Henriquez, who is the chief magistrate of Santo Domingo, is quoted as saying that the continued occupation of Santo Domingo and Haiti has created "a feeling of distrust and suspicion against the United States throughout all Latin America," and that this feeling will seriously affect America's relations, both politically and commercially, with all Latin-American countries. Coming out of Santo Domingo and Haiti post haaste, merely because some political down there demands it, is not to be considered by the United States. This Nation will be guided—as it should be—in its course of action by its sense of right and justice. When conditions become such in Santo Domingo and Haiti that no further restraint need be exercised by the United States to keep those island republics pacified and to protect the lives and interests of those islands; then America will withdraw, as it should. But it will not be bulldozed or browbeaten into withdrawing if the presence of American forces is needed yet to maintain peace and order.

Colonel Greely favors some plan of federal encouragement of the states in reforestation and fire-prevention. He also would have the quantity of timber cut controlled by governmental regulation. The importance of this is patent to all thoughtful persons. Depletion of forests has become startling in its portended consequences. Even by beginning at once to replant the swiftly-thinning forests, the impending shortage in timber cannot beverted. The best that can be done is gradually to replenish the timber supply in due course of time, as planted trees grow to usable size. A FAFEGUARDING CANAL AS PRUDENTIAL STEP Step by step, fortifying of the Panama Canal Zone proceeds. Mighty guns are to guard its entrances. And from the air it is to be defended formidably. Interesting in this connection is the report that the squadron of twelve scapplanes which recently successfully made the long flight from San Diego to Balboa, in the Canal Zone, are to be held there and used in the system of air defenses of the canal.

Corn is a drug in the market, comparatively speaking. To stimulate interest in corn meal as food, it is proposed to have a national corn meal week, early in April. It is hoped that, by promoting the use of corn meal, the consumption would be so greatly increased as to bring up the price of the farmer's corn. It is surprising that corn bread is not consumed more generally. It is extremely palatable, if well prepared. And it is also very nutritious. The sturdiness of American pioneers was due, in large measure, to their diet of corn bread and mush. A return to that primitive diety should be welcomed. It would be promotive of health as well as boosting the corn growing industry. If the eating of corn meal products became more general, corn bread and mush would become more fashionable as foods, and this would tend to promote consumption. For in foods, as well as in dress, a great many "follow the style." GENERAL WOOD TO GOVERN PHILIPPines Reports apparently authentic, that Mr. Harding has decided to appoint Mr. Gen. Leonard Wood to be governor General of the Philippines, will be involved with a large measure of satisfaction throughout the country. It is realized by the president elect that a The . .

W. Martinet —The Winchester Store— 151 W. Center St. Anaheim SAYS CHINA OFFERS CAL. FRUIT MARKET SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 22. Declaring that the Far East, especially China, presents a great market for California's citrus fruit, and that it only needs to be taken advantage of to solve in a measure the market problems now confronting the California growers. F. Marshall Sanderson emphasized one of the things that he is endeavoring to do as envoy of the Chinese C. of C. in the most intensely interesting addresses heard before the local C. of C. in many months. He is touring this country in the interests of a market for Chinese goods, but also to create a market in China for American goods that may be needed there. He helped introduce California raisins in China, as well as other lines. He recited how Sunkist oranges can be purchased in Shanghai in limited quantities and he believes that a large lemon market can be developed in China. Now a small lemon costs 10 cents in Shanghai. He urged Californians to look to this market for the fruits. He of course realized that there are transportation and other problems that must be met, but that they can be met is certain. Mr. Sanderson spoke at much length on the difficulties of trade with China and some of the mistakes that trade representatives had made. The Chinaman abhors misrepresentation or substitution. The complexity of the financial system was explained in great detail, bringing out the evils of the present exchange system on which the Chinese bankers are waxing rich. However, he expected to see a reformation in this respect soon. He said foreign tradesmen of the right class are welcome in China, that Chinese trade presents a wonderful opportunity for the keen business man, but that it is no place for the weakling. There is no place for the immoral man in China, and unless one has the moral fibre in his nature he can go to hell quicker in China than any other place on earth. Unless a man has a strong moral nature he has no business in China, Chief Scores Method Of Handling Indians The present system under which Indians are governed was scored by Chief Redfox Skulhushu in an address delivered at the Reorganized church of Jesus Christ, Santa Ana. Chief Redfox is a Northern Black-foot Indian and he is at the head of the American Tepee association, of which President-elect Mrs. Warren G. Harding are members. Harding has promised to allow the Indians to choose their own commissioner of Indian Affairs, according to Chief Redfox, who declared that the Indians favor the appointment of Thomas L. Sloan, Omaha Indian from Nebraska, to the position. The chief took as his subject, "The Patriotism and Philosophy of the American Indian." He called the attention of his auditors to the fact that in every war in which this country has been involved since its inception, and including the recent World War, Indians had stood shoulder to shoulder with the white men in defense of this country, but that today the Indian people are not given citizenship rights under the flag they have given their lives to defend. He said that 17,000 Indian boys answered the call to the colors in the recent war and that 85 per cent of this number were volunteers. It is the Indian's belief, according to the speaker, that he is entitled to citizenship because he was the first American, and is really the only true American, while the white people change system on which the Chinese bankers are waxing rich. However, he expected to see a reformation in this respect soon. He said foreign trademen of the right class are welcome in China, that Chinese trade presents a wonderful opportunity for the keen business man, but that it is no place for the weakling. There is no place for the immoral man in China, and unless one has the moral fibre in his nature he can go to hell quicker in China than any other place on earth. Unless a man has a strong moral nature he has no business in China, he repeated. The Village Gossip They say love will find a way and County Clerk J. M. Backs was wondering today whether love did in the affairs of a youthful Whittier couple who applied for a marriage license yesterday afternoon. Backs refused to issue the license because the would-be husband is not yet 21. Moreover, the young man's father had called Backs by telephone about three hours before the couple arrived in his office and told him that his son was still a minor and not to issue the license. "That's pretty clever, but we'll fool 'em yet." Such was the declaration of the young woman, pretty Miss Hether La June McReynolds of Whittier. dering today whether love did in the affairs of a youthful Whittier couple who applied for a marriage license yesterday afternoon. Backs refused to issue the license because the would-be husband is not yet 21. Morever, the young man's father had called Backs by telephone about three hours before the couple arrived in his office and told him that his son was still a minor and not to issue the license. "That's pretty clever, but we'll fool 'em yet." Such was the declaration of the young woman, pretty Miss Hether La June McReynolds of Whittler, as she sauntered out of the county clerk's office on the arm of her fiance, Leslie Snively, also of Whittler. And late last night the Los Angeles sheriff's office called Santa police and asked that young Snively be arrested at the request of his father. The police were instructed to release the girl if found, but to hold Snively. No trace of the couple was found after they left the county clerk's office. When County Clerk Backs asked young Snively how old he was he said he was 31, stating that he was born in 1899. County Clerk Backs then told the boy that his father had called on the phone and told him the truth of the matter. There was nothing left for the couple to do but make their departure, but judging by the young lady's remark they were bent on getting married. Snively is a son of That Snively, 514 East Bailey street, Whittler and Miss McReynolds is a daughter of Bert McReynolds, 222 South Pickering street, Whittler. County Clerk Backs says he hates to do it but is frequently called upon to interfere with the plans of Dan Cupid. Unless positive proof of youthful ages is forthcoming he hesitates. If you desire to send money to your uncles or your cousins or your aunts in Rumania, be sure you don't send it in the form of currency or coin. The postal administration of Rumania has sent out notice that any kind of money is barred from the mails of that country, whether the money is enclosed in ordinary or registered letters.

Eight of the fighters were from Los Angeles and other way stations, Santa Ana and Delhi providing the other two—K. O. Swall and Young Frederick. These two boys saved the event from being a fistic failure. Despite the lack of endeavor on the part of the out-of-town boys, the bouts were well received and the Ellis brothers were congratulated on the success of their first show. Two of the events were more in the nature of love matches than scrape and it is doubtful if any of the men taking part in those two affairs get another chance to show to a Santa Ana crowd.
