Public opinion now demands, not

as possible and leave it to private en-

butthat‘ what remains of‘the National

used. The Government has been forc-
ed into the lumber business solely In
order that a supply of forest products
may be guaranteed to future genera-
tions.
Probably 66 per cent. of the total
stand of memhantable timber within
the Forests is located on the Pacific
Coast. where fora leng time the error

will satisfy most of the demand. This

to have Miss Sallie Taylor, great-
granddaughter of President Zachary

She is alleged to have been put there
for the purpose of keeping her out of
the way of her employer, Mrs. Laura
Blossom, of St. Louis, whose wealth is
estimated at more than a million dol-

tantly related to Mrs. Blossom, has
for a long time been envious of the in-
timute position that Miss Taylor has
been occupying at the home of Mrs.
Blossom and afraid that she would in-

son died three weeks ago. Miss Taylor
who is a trained nurse, is a sister of
Mrs. Von Phul. Mrs. Von Phul receiv-

Miss L. M. Andrews Becomes Mrs.
Jethro Stuckey. ,
The marriage of Miss Loretta M, An.
draws, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elv
gin S. Andrews, of 14 Grand street.
Dnunnry, to Jethro smokey, of Well
avenue, Danbury, took place at 12
o'clock Wednesday, at. the Methodist
Episcopal parsonage in Norwalk, the
ceremony being performed by Rev.
Frank D. Torrey. Miss Helen B. Dur-
ant. and Albert Britto, of Dahbury, ac-
companied them, and were their at
tondants.
The announcement of the marriage,
Wednesday, came on a. surprise to the
many friends of Miss Andrews, for,
with the exception of her immediate
family, and her friends, who accompam
led her, few others know of the wed-
ding.
The marriage was arranged a few
days ago, when it was found that the
groom was called to the West, in or-
der that he might take his bride with
him. The length of their stay in the
West is uncertain, but may be for some
months.
Their many friends here will extend
most hearty congratulations.
