Pierce, '08, is still with the Chest- 

 nut B'light Commission, doing the 

 "tree-surgery" or "dentistry" act. Be 

 careful, Pierce, don't cut the bark on 

 the bias or shovel the cement in with 

 a horn spoon, for these distinctive 

 processes are both patented 'by the 

 "Fathers" of the art. Pierce resents 

 being listed from the Sand (Hills. 

 Don't blame you, Pierce, the Dismal 

 River and the Styx, empty into the 

 same place and date. 



Nellis, '11, is getting the statistical 

 "flourish;" feels lonesome for more 

 wood industries to conquer and re- 

 cord. 'He is brief and merely stops 

 to say that Koehler and Gould both 

 were married in October, last Merely 

 shows the effect of xyilotomy and too 

 much "products." Congratulations of 

 the Club to 'both and all. 



Noy, '12, is at Mishawaka, Indiana, 

 a place of beautiful homes in spite of 

 its "wishy" name. Noy tends to 'busi- 

 ness and embellishments, and says 

 things are whooping along. 'He ask- 

 ed a'bout Lewis, and evidently does not 

 know that Lewis is now Generalissimo 

 and is going to start into the exhibi- 

 tion business as a regular affair. Bet- 

 ter come over Noy and keep in touch 

 with the big doings. Smith, he says, 

 is at International Falls, Minn. 



Kempfer, '06, the silent one, drop- 

 ped a line merely to tell the editors 

 that his chief business at 'Madison is 

 to watch the spillway and see that 

 the stuff gets out, and only "stuff" 

 gets out. The Club can trust Kemp- 

 fer to watch it closely. The 'birdie has 

 it that Kempfer has left the service, 

 evidently going back to his ifirst love 



in the piney woods. Go ahead, Kemp- 

 fei ; the woods need yo'U and will do 

 more for you than the Rhiele ma- 

 chine. 



Geo. R. Green, Professor of Fores- 

 try at Penn State, has taken to dicta- 

 tion (G. to G., says the stationery). 

 He teaches Dendrology and Wood 

 Tech., and is in charge of the herbar- 

 ium and museum. They have a trip 

 in lumbering and go south with their 

 Seniors, Professor Ferguson in 

 charge. Bang uip affair this, and we 

 are glad to see it so. 



McCarthy, '11, Professor of Fores- 

 try at Syracuse, is in a stew: $300,000 

 staring them in the face and it has to 

 'be spent. A $200,000 Forestry 'build- 

 ing is among the items, to say noth- 

 ing of the incidentails. Hurrah for 

 Syracuse! At last we have a forestry 

 school which has at least the money 

 to work with. Forestry and the 

 broader conservation can only be ben- 

 efited by the great progress of affairs 

 at Cornell and Syracuse. It will work 

 for real knowledge and better instruc- 

 tion; and 'both are needed. 



J. S. Bordner, '10, ait Bristol, Ind., is 

 farming according to truly scientific 

 methods, and is making things go. In- 

 cidentally congratulations for little 

 Jean B., arrived April 30. 



Barrus, '10, is right into things. 

 They have new forest taxation flaws 

 in New York, and the applications, af- 

 fidavits, manifestos, declarations of 

 independence, and alibis, which are 

 necessary to get a five-acre wood lot 

 exempt from taxation, are all printed 

 on papers of different colors, so that 

 in the official slang, "Tom gets his in
