FORESTRY.
Railroad COmpanys May Pur.
chase Timber Lands
And Grow Their Own Trees For
Ties-AnOther Opportunity
For FOresters.

The Bureau OF Forestry has con
Ginued this year on a far larger
scale the experiments in timber
seasoning and preservation for the
railroads which it began last year
under DR.. Hermann Won Schrenk.
This summer the work will be car.
ried on in MANY States East, South
and West-and will be broadened
in scope and made even more
thorough than before This work
will be done for the New York Cen.
trail, the Erie, the Baltimore and
Ohio, and the Pennsylvania rail.
roads in the East; and for the Hi
nois Central, the Santa Zee, the St
Louis and San Francisco, the Mis-.
souri,, Kansas and Texas; the
Northern Pacific, and the Burliug-
ton in the South aud West.
The scarcity Of valuable timber
is felt by no class of consumers
more keenly than by the railroads
which use every year 10000, 900
ties merely to renew those worn out
and decayed, The price of timber:
has risen in some instances to a 6g
ure which makes their use pro
hibitive; in other cases the supply
us 50 nearly exhauted that the roads
have been compelled to look abou
for new timbers.
The Bureau of Forestry has beer
called on to assist in solving the
difficulty, and has come forward
with the very practical and simple
suggestion that the railroads, in
stead of continuing to use expen-
sive, high.g ade timbers for such a
dowgrade purpose as that of rail.
road ties, shall use the cheaper
woods. For example. to the COM
plant of the New York Central that
1t finds it more and more difficult 10
secure longleaf-pine ties from Geor.
jgia at the price it can afford to pay,
1.-The Bureau suggests that the roat

the Adirondacks. The complaint
that the timbers rot very quickly
when laid in the ground is answer
b. ed by the suggestion that they
should be seasoned and preserved

just as beech is seasoned and pre-
served 10 France. The Great
Eastern Railroad of France has
succeeded in making beech ties
last IS years by impregnating them
with tar oils. The unseasoned
longleaf-pine ties used by the New
York Central last only FIVE years;
and the beech if laid green, without
seasoning or preserving, would in
many cases last no more than three
years. The substance of the pro-
posal which the Bureau has made
to the railroads, and which the
railroads have thought so we'll of as
to adopt, is that experiment be
made TO determine whether cheaper
timbers may be treated with pre-
servatives at a cost so low and be
made to last such long time, that
it will pay to substitute them for
the more expensive timbers now
employed.
The railroads have thought so
we'll of these ideas that they will
not only carry on under the Blu
reau's direction the necessary ex-
periments in seasoning and pre-
serving, but have engaged the Blu
reau's help in learning where cheap
timbers for ties may be obtained.
10 other words, the railroads have
decided that if they can be con
vlnced that it will pay TO season
and preserve cheap timbers for ties,
they will acquire large areas Of
timber lands on which they Will
grow their own trees, cut their own
ties. and thus be assured of a
steady supply. This means that
some of the great railroads of the
country are 10 a fair way to prac-

Blackheads, pimples, greasy
faces and muddy compilations
which are so common among wo.
men, especially girls at a certain
age, destroying beauty, dis6guring
and making repulsive, features

The Boss Worm Medicine.

II. p. kumpe, Druggist, Leigh
ton, Ala, writes: Zone of my Gus
toners had a child, which was
sick, and threw up all food, could
retain nothing on its stomach. He
bought one bottle of Whites Cream
Vermifuge, and it brought up 119
worms from the child. It's the boss
worm medicine in the world. -
Whites Cream Vermifuge is also
the childrens' tonic. 1t improves
their digestion and assimilation Oh
food, strengthens their nervous
system and restores them to the
health, vigor and elasticity of spirits
natural to childhood. 25c at h. c

GREAT CONVENTION.
A Notable Gathering of Sunday
school Workers.

The State Sunday-school conven
tion, which meets at Licking ton,
August 1920, should not be forgot
ten by the Sunday-school workers
of this county. The prospects are
that this will be the largest conven-
ton ever held. Fully one thous.
and delegates are expected.
About ninety County Conventions
have been held since May LIST, and
the whole State is aroused.
Excel, Pearce and Bry ner are
names to conjure with. My, will il
not be fiue to meet and hear and
know these great workers and join
with from two thousand to three
thousand in singing hallujahs UNI
der the leadership of the Incompar-
able Excelll And just think what
it means to come in vital and SYM
pathetic touch with one thousand OF
Kentucky's leading Supday-school
workers. This will be a liberal
education in itself. No Sunday
school worker can afford to miss it.
No one can from any conception oil
what a great and inspiring cOnvep-
ton like this is work to him until
he has attended one.

ANDERSON MEETING
SUPPORTERS OF CHAS. P. AN.
 DERSoN HELD RALLY.
MT. Anderson and a Number of Other, Delivered Brief Speeches. Anderson Club Was
 Organized.

The friends and supporters of Charles P. An | derson for Mayor held their first campaign | rally last night at the Anderson headQuarteri | on Commerce Street. About 90 voters wert | present and considerable enthusiasm was mani. fested.
 With the exceptionf of the Court House meeting of J. T. Andrew several weeks ago the rally last night the first mayoralty
 meeting held in the preesnt campaign. Sew
 eral speeches were delivered Anderson club
 organized and the announcement of an
 important meeting for next Thursday night
 was made.
 The old Y. NJ. c. A rooms overlooking Com merce Street are occupied Anderson head quarters. The two large rooms were comfort ably filled when MT Anderson called the meet ing to order. He announced that the meeting had been called to give those friends who had rendered him their support an opportunity of recognizing and mingling with each other. He did not. he said. propose to make a speech. but he would touch upon the only issue that had been raised against him. He had been he said charged with being too young to be Mayor of Montgomery and in reply to that ac- cusation he wanted to say that he would soon be 3s years old. that he had been born and had spent his entire life in the city and that he knew Montgomery and her people. In sponse to calls from the crowd. brief speeches were made by L. J. Bugg, W. F.. Herbert J. D. Cody, M H. Screws, D. B. Avinger and W. H. Maybin.
 An Anderson club suggested and those prsenet came forward and signed the club list. Before adjourning, the meeting selected L. J. Bugg temporary chairman and W. F. Herbert temporary secretary of the meeting to be held Thursday night.

their hearts on making the trip to Chick amauga before 1904.
 It has been several years since a bri- | gade encampment has been held. Each summer when the military starts to talk of it's encampment an effort is made to have brigade encampment but for | several years it has failed. A brigade encampment now means thirty-six com- panies of about seYenty-five men each or total of about 2,5O0 men in camp al one time. It will be in command of Brig adler General Louis V. Clark and his en- tire stan, as well as that of the Govern oampment is held at Montgomery the Governor will probably be present several times during the week.
 The artillery and cavalry will not be able to go into camp at the same time as the infantry because there Is not suf- flcient tentage for all.
 The officers of the End are as a rule, not advocating a brigade encampment, although they are not opposing it. If one is decided upon, the End regiment will do its share towards making 1t a success.
 A well-known Montgomery officer of the 2nd said yesterday: The End has already begun a movement to have the regiment equipped under the provisions of the Dick bill. It is hoped that the regf- ment may be equipped and accepted by the national Government before summer, so that 1t may go into camp at the ex- pense of the Federal Government, To this end, Col. E. H. Graves has called a meeting of the officers of the regiment for Sunday in Montgomery. While the 2nd would place no obstacles in the way of brigade encampment, hardly think that it would advocate one just now"
 The final decision as to encampment will be made by the nding off, ficers of the three infantry regiments the cavalry squadron and the artillery bat talion in a conference with Adjutant- General W. W. Brandon. This confer ence will be called by Colonel Brandon for some day during the spring.
