One Iamous American tree was not placed under the mantle of conservation during American Forest Week. Nobody said a word in behalf of the chestnut, and that was because after a lapse of many years no means has been found of saving the native chestnut forests from extinction by Nature's death sentence. They are as much doomed to death as the condbmned man on his way to the scafiold. Thirtv-five million acres of chestnut trees-almost a tenth of the present American forested area-are bging irresistibly deslroyed by the chestnut blight. The blight is mercileis and ail the science and cunning of man avail nothing against it. In ten years, says the Research Bureau of the Nltional Lumber Manuf4cturers Association, citing the U. S. Forest Service as its' authority, the infection w:ill be practically complete and in fifteen .years there will be little or no sound chestnut left. This is not mere forest wrecking, it is actual eradication forever of a once innumerable species. Old men will live to boast that they bg-leJd a live chestnut tree. The extinction of the chestnut will be the most impressive obliteration of a line of life since the disappearance of the Passenger pigeon.

A Good Teacher

"He's a liar and a thief and a cheater," declared the sawmill proprietor in discussing a former employee who had gone-in business for himself and become a rival and competitor, "and I taught him all he knows."

"It's Up To You"

The following is reprinted from a recent issue of "The Burning Question," publication of the Associated Mutual Lumber Fire Insurance Companies:

"It's up to you !

"The above statement is repeated because it is well worth repeating, in fact, we want to impress upon the minds of every lumber dealer in the country that the matter of losses on'lumber and woodworking risks is personally and individually up to them. If every man would take this sentence to heart-study it carefuily and think it over-losses on lumber .and woodworking risks would be reduced to a minimum.

"There are, however, a number of men who, having become financially 'easy', pay very little or no attentio'n to the details of their risks as far as cleanliness is concerned.

"From a fire insurance standpoint, lumber and woodworking risks are getting into a class by themselves. I-osses on this class have been tremendous wittrin the past few years. These losses must stop ! We have been doing our part by personal inspection; cancelling undesirable iisks; reducing lines on the medium-class risks. but all to no avail. Lumber is burning and will continue to burn as Iong as proprietors pay very little or no attention to risk cleanliness. Mr. Property Owner, we emphasize again that rt rs up to you to do your duty bj' the Mutual Lumber Fire Insurance_Companies, by the trade, by your employees, by your family, by the citizens of your tor,rin and last,'but'ndt least, by yourself. It has taken you years to get where you are but it may take only one-half hour to put you farther bac-k than you ever wire before in your iiie.' A disastrous fire may mean bankruptcy to you.- It certainly will mean loss of business and it will be a poor advertisement. O{ course, accidents are always expected, but the majority of our losses have not been accidents. Thev have- been entirely due to carelessness and lack of interesi.

"If .you do not want rates on lumber and woodworking risks increased, it is up to you to reduce the fire losses. W; are more than willing to do our part but we need your cooperation. All the inspection in the world by us will be of no avail if we do not receive support from our policyholders. Again, we say, it is up to you to prevent lumber and woodworking risks from burning. The losses have been heavy within the past five years. There is no reason for it and stock and other companies are beginning to talk increase in rates. Now, if you want to retain youi present rate, build up your company, and try to get a better dividend, it is up to you to reduce the fire waste on lumber and woodworking risks."

Fair Play In The Forest

The spirit of fair play is one of our American traditions. We meet it in business, on the athletic field and during the social hour.

Yet many of our citizens, both young and old, when they visit the national forests, seem to forget this spirit of tht s-qu-arg dea!.- They plalmost unfair with the -ourtesy of their host, Uncle Sam. Tin cans and rubbish-befouled clmp grounds; smoldering fires which result in blackened hillsides, are all too common monuments to the American t-ourist's discourtesy. The "tin can tourist" is becoming a disgrace to our outdoors.

The spirit of fair play in the forest always remembers the other fellow. He, too, wants a green forest to play or rest in. a clean spot to pitch his tent on, a pure stream to drink from.

'Wl^en you visit the woods next summer, remember to play fair-do your share-and help tell the other fellow.
