made out of wood, on a mattress filled with excelsior. We 

 arise and step on a wooden floor. In making our morning 

 toilet, we wash on a wash-stand made out of wood, we sit 

 at the breakfast table on a chair made out of wood, taking 

 our food from the table made from wood, eating our food 

 with implement containing wooden handles. The very food 

 was brought to our kitchen in receptacles, boxes and pails 

 made from wood. We arise from the table and pick cur teeth 

 with tooth-picks made out of wood and we sit back in leisure 

 to read our morning paper also made out of wood. Wood 

 surrounds us in one form or another from cradle to the grave. 

 It is essential to our civilization, and the larger its supply, the 

 less will be its cost. 



Lumber has within the last twenty years quintupled and 

 it has now reached that price in this state where the raising 

 of lumber will be profitable. 



Aside from this particular point of view, forests are also 

 necessary from the aesthetic standpoint. We are all lovers 

 of the out-of-doors, be it in fcrm of hunting, fishing or camp- 

 ing. The forests are the home of the game. No forests, no 



ime. Their fate is inseparably linked with that of the for- 

 ests. Forests serve as recreation grounds for thousands of 

 >ple and unless we take care of them, they will be a thing 

 >f the past.
