2,000,000 CHRISTMAS TREES
USED IN STATE THIS YEAR.
Upwards of two million Christmas |
trees were used in Pennsylavnia dur- |
ing the holiday season, according to
estimates by officials of the State
Department of Forests and Waters,
As usual, large quantities of trees |
were imported into southeastern
Pennsylvania, particularly Philadel
phia, as well as the Pittsburgh dis-
trict and the anthracite region. The
imported trees were mostly spruce |
and fir from the New England and |
Lake States, or from Canada.
Six or seven hundred carloads of
Christmas trees were sent into Mich- |
igan and as far west as the State |
of Washington. The latter trees
were Douglas fir. This tree is no! |
related to the Balsam fir of the
east, but both species are in de- |
mand due to their great beauty and |
symmetrical form. i
Larger numbers of trees than ever |
before were cut this year fom forest |
tree plantations in Pennsylvania, as- |
serts officials of the Department.
Although seedlings for reforestation
now distributed by the Department
are be set out for timber |
plantations rather than Christmas |
tree use, many of the trees cut for |
this purpose are from plantations |
established more than 8 years ago,
before the present ruling. Others are
from plantations made with seed- |
lings purchased from commercial
nurseries. The sales of planted
Christmas trees from one estate in
eastern Pennsylvania now amount to
several thousand dollars annually.
The advantage of home grown
Christmas trees is obvious, since |
they are freshly cut and not so
liable to injury in shipment. The
imported trees gathered in the
forests of Canada and the North
Woods are commonly cut from six
weeks to two months or more be-
fore Christmas. They are also
tightly bound for shipment and are
handled frequently,
In the management of Chirstmas
tree plantationsit is estimated that
if sturdy seedlings or (transplants
are set out the trees may be cut
from five to ten years after plant- |
ing. A block of trees may be plant-
ed cach year, and after the first
block becomes old enough to har-
vest, a subsequent block is of suit-
able size for each year's crop there-
after, As each block is cut it is
replanted. The trees are planted
from four to five feet apart, using
two or three thousand to the acre.
Planting stock for Christmas tree
plantations may be secured from |
commercial nurseries for five to ten
dollars a thousand trees.

The Treasury has been disappointed
in its hope of reducing the cost of |
money circulation by reducing the
size of paper money. The average |
life of the $1 and $5 bills has prov-
ed to be but a few days longer than |
that of the old bills, The $2 bill, |
owing, apparently, to the ancient!
superstition that it is accompanied |
by bad luck, stands up. The others
become spoiled just as quickly and
break just as badly. :
Blame for the prompt return of
bills as unfit for use is put largely
upon motor and garage employees,
the nature of whose business keeps !
their hands greasy and dirty. Since
they cannot be expected to wash
after =erving each customer, no an-
ticipation of betterment in this di-
rection can be held. One other
trouble is the propensity to fold bills,
a habit which it was thought theis- |
sue of small bills would check. On this
point it may be suggested to Mr.
Mellon that people may be folding
his currency so compactly because
they regard it rather more highly
than in some years.
However, there is one balm. Coun-
terfeiting has been ‘reduced to a
minimum.” And, with that much’
gained, the Treasury is still search.
ing for paper that will stand wear
and tear more successfully.
TRY EXPERIMENTS
IN FALL PLANTING.
Several experiments in fall plant-
ing have been announced by the di-
vision of prison labor, State De-
partment of Welfare, as under way
at the nursery of the new Western
Penitentiary at Rockview.
More than 35 quarts of bitter-
sweet berries were sown in the
nursery beds for growth experiment.
A black walnut plantation was
established by planting the nuts
rather than seedling trees. i
One acre of evergreen trees was
planted to determine the practica- |
bility of fall planting. :
Orders have been received at
Rockview to date for fall and
spring planting for a total of 1,274,-
000 trees and seedlings. This figure
exceeds last year's by more than
300,000 on the same date.
“What's wrong with the
anyway?" asked the first pessimist.

THEY HOLD PURSE STRINGS
It Is Estimated That at Least 80 Per |
Cent of Retaii Purchasing Is
Done by Feminine
Shoppers.
(Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
It has been said that the hand that
rocks the cradle is the hand that rules
the world and nowhere is this more |
literally true than in the world of |
trade. The woman {s the purchasing!
agent of the household and man, as a
rule, is very glad to have her handle
the job. |
It has been estimated by some stu-
dents of the merchandising gnine that |
80 per cent of all retall buying Is done
by women. This may be a high esti-
mate but a visit to the retail stores
of any town or city is enough to con- |
vince one that the figures are not too
high, The preponderance of women
among the buyers Is sufficient, at any |
rate, to make not only the retailer but
the manufacturer and the wholesaler
realize that It is the women that they
must please with their merchandise,
Because they do by far the greater
nart of the buying in any community,
the women have a responsibility that
they do not always appreciate. The
women of a town, through their buy-
ing power, can make or break the mer-
chants of a town and as a natural con-
sequence they can make or break the
town. It is In their power to make
it a prosperous town or a dead town.
When the women of a town gcquire
the mal! order habit, the town may
just as well begin making arrange
ments for its own obsequies.
Hard to Understand.
Just why a woman, who is a shop-
per by instinct and a shrewd judge
of values in merchandise, should suc-
cumb to the lures of the mall order
house it is difficult to understand but,
unfortunately, some of them do. No
one knows better than the woman who
has had some experience In the buy-
ing of merchandise how difficult it is
to distinguish between the genuine and
the imitation even after a close Inspec-
tion. The gonad shopper, when on buy-
ing bent, does not always take the
first article that is offered for inspec-
tion. In fact this is the exception
rather than the rule. The merchants
| a dozen sults
TAKE PROPOSITION
know it and expect It. They expect a
woman, if she is a good shopper, t
“look around a little,”
If a woman should walk into a re-
tall store and purchase the first suit | |
that she tried on, for instance, the
shock probably would prove fatal to
the storekeeper or the saleswoman. | |
The chances are that she will try on |
and look at as many
more hefore she selects one that suits |
her taste or pocketbook, and the store-
keeper not only expects but wishes
her to do this. He wishes her to be
satisfied as he knows that a satisfied |
customer is the best advertisement
‘hat he can obtain,
Taking a Chance.
This same woman, however, may or-
der a sult from a mail order house on
the strength of nothing more than a
pretty picture and an alluring descrip-
tion. She has not even the opportun-
ity to try It on, to say nothing of the |
chance of examining the fabric, noting
the exact shade of the material and
inspecting the workmanship.

She is |
taking chances on the suit fitting her, |
on the material being good and dur-
able, the shade becoming to her and |
the workmanship of such a character
that the suit will not fall to pieces.
The woman who takes such chances |
cannot be called a shrewd shopper.
It might be more easily understood
why mere man, unaccustomed and
averse, as a rule, to shopping excur-
sions, should fall a victim to the cata-
logue habit. He might find it easier
to order from the picture in the cata-
logue than to go to a store and look
for the article that he wanted or he
might take the position that he
wouldn't know what he was getting
anyway If he went to the store and
he might as well take a chance on the
mail order gamble, but why the wom-
an who knows what she wants and
knows that she Is getting what she
wants when she gets it should buy on
the “sight unseen" plan—ell, that's
another question altogether.
Woman's Greatest Opportunity.
Women are tak'ng a more and more
prominent part in public affairs all
the time. They are alding now In
many parts of the country In running
the affairs of state. Even where they
do not have the ballot they are playing
a big part, individually and through
their organizations, in the conduct par-
ticularly of local governments, yet In
the one field where they can do most
to help build up their communities
they may be overlooking their oppor-
tunity. With the buying power In
their hands they can do more for thelr
community by stanchly
ean possibly do in any other way.
Man may think he Is a very impor
cant element in the progress and devel- |
opment of his town but when he re-
flects that 80 per cent of the buying
power of the community is in the
hands of the women he is apt to real-
Ize that he Is a very Insignificant atom.
