Advocates of a lamp of high power
in the diamond argue that they are
doing so from a point of economy,
forgetting that they are working their
first economical stunt and that at the
expenee of others, If their arguments
were put into print verbatim, the
readers would be obliged to more than
smile. The trouble is these men have
so long practiced petty favoritelsm,
that fair dealing, like true economy,
is not recognized.

Replies have been received from

on or near their forests,
