OH, WHY SHOULD THE SPIRIT OF MORTAL BEPROUD

In the life of man, as in the life of the tree, flower andplant, we have natures round of seasons: Spring,Summer, Fall and Winter.. The forest of nature as ih theforest of men, by univrsal consensus, November is called i

the month of the Fall, "Month of the Dead."In every land and in every clime, the familiar proces-

sions will be seen .through the cemeteries and grave'yards; those silent cities of the beloved dead. Since thegreat World War, which brought unwonted sorrow and tmournining into so many homes, intense thought hasbeen given to the great questions of life and death andimmortality? More human beings were destroyed in thespace of six years than existed on this earth some fewcenturies ago. On Armistice Day, the world will kneel tkneel at the grave of its dead. Mother, sister, wife and tlover will ask for some assurance that their loved oneswho fell, still live and love. The question which Job ask-ed himself 3000 years ago, they too will ask: "If a mandie shall he live again?" Before this question thescience of all time is silent. Faith alone gives the an-swer. "I believe in the resurrection of the body and ineverlasting life." This belief has for ever existed in man's

and has found expression in the writings of thephilosophers of every age. One of the pag*fs wrote:

•r•We do not weep at the grave of a dead hrise, we weeponly when we hope to meet again." Strange, incomnpre-hensible, yet familiar things are these: Life and death.

Life-the longest--has scarcely bun when it is ov-er. From the womb to the tomb how short the distance.It is estimated that 2,000,000 human beings pass through

"Girand Central station in New York City every day withtickets in their hands for some new journey; and, in fiftyje.years hence. they will all have passed through the GatesOf Eternity, where dollars will not purchase tickets. Usew: Dell the present hour. Do not worry about the trains you

:aissed. Yesterday is dead--to-morrow is yet in anotherworld. The prsent hour is real. There is only one per-

'son that will really suffer if you neglect to-day. That.rson is you. The things, for you, that really count must

!yhtve lasting qualities: truth, justice, honesty, love anduimtility. Humility comes from a true knowledge of life

ad death. Learn by heart that beautiful poem ofCalyle. It begins with these lines:

"Oh, why should the spirit of mhortal be proud?Like a swift-fleeting meteor, a fast flying cloudA flash of the lightning, a break of the waveMan passes from life to his rest in the grave."

'Tis the twink of an eye, 'tis the draft of a breathFrom the blossom of health to the paleness of deathFrom the gilded saloon to the casquet and shroud

L Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud.

PRODUCTION FOR 1920 SLIGHTLY 4LE48 THAN 1919; WASHN-

lNGTON :LEAD8 4

Washpngton, Oat. 22.-Ater having theld second place among the states in ithe matter of lumber production fo • efifteen -years, Louisiana has been Itforced into third place by the rapid tincrease of lumber manufacturing in nOregon. The forest service figures covering the 1920 lumnber cut have beenannounced. .

They show that Louisiana's produc- ,tion of lumber in-1920 was 3,120,00#,- a000 feet. Tbia is 1 per cent less than k

n the cut in 1919. The cut fir Oregcu

9- (or 1920 totalled 3,317.000.000 eest.

a~d 27 per cent leslthan the eak' Inie 1907.

STheaveage price of umer at thefit increased i to 088.42 per thquand

tset, whih is asn iere s it ISO fcent since 1910. The -edge valtue

.of the cut is $19299,000,000. Theseare the highest annual valuationsr ever recorded, but do not indicatepresent conditions. They, merely re-Sflect the extremely high peak in th.e

post-war lumber prices which peed n tt•~e flt quartr of 1920. -

The tigares are basesd upon' rds orts from 14,997 M'4ve mills out of23,243 estimated to have been in op-eration. Several mills cutting : lesst than 50,000, test were not tabulated,though- allowance was made for their

Spcut.

.lThe tables show that the stateswhich increased their cut are all inthe Pacific coast group and the Rocky•Mountains. California takes I•among the first five, hsplaying M-Teausas, inether Southern' yellow "state.

•tii 1920 the Pacific and Rocky Moun-tain groups of states, comibined, pro-duced 35.6 per cent of the cut. Theeight states of the :eSother pineg .rPprodPc. 34 -p•er cent, whileall of the rest o' the United StatesP'odipaed 30.4 per cent -

The combined production of Doug-la ,:lr, and Western yOllow pinewhich in 1919 was less than 40 pereett of the mount of Southern yellowpine cut in 1920 became 83 per cent.This relative increase in the Westernspecies arises in part fro~p the deo.crease in Southern pine produatlrn,which amounted to 15 per cent. Theconditions reported by Southern op-erators. arising directly or indirectly.from the world war, were sa adversethat the Southern pine may be expect-td to recover part of the lost groundduring the next few years, But thiadicatione of the uttstios are thatthe atWremacy in lumber productionheld by the Southern' pine state haspassed the zenith and is moving tothe west.
