NEW TIMBER SEASON
ING STATIONS.
To BE Established by the Bureau Of
Forestry.

The bureau of forestry has recent
ly signed an agreement to make ex-
tensive timber seasoning tests in two
western states. in cooperation with
two telegraph and telephone COM
panies. Experimental stations will be
located at Marinette, Wis, and Es-
canada, Mich, and probably a third
station will be established at Ash
land, Wis. The expense of the eX-
periments will be borne jointly by
the bureau and the companies. Ce-
dar and tamarack telephone and tele-
graph poles will be furnished by the
state of Wisconsin free Of cost, and
two railroad companies have agreed
to haul them to the experiment sta
tions without charge for freight.
The object of the experiments is
to determine how many years can
be added 10 the life of each pole by
proper seasoning.

All honor and praise to the Volun-
teers. Four hundred of the poor
people of the city will bless them and
their goodness will ever be remem-
bered.
The cost Of feeding 1000 poor will
not exceed what one rich man of Spo-
kane would expend in entertaining SO
of his friends at his house Yet the
rich man sits in his elegant home,
bounteously provided for amid mag
nificent surroundings, and gives no
thought to his less fortunate fellow
man. The wind may blow a gale. the
snow fly and the air be bitter cold,
1t moves him not He is comfortable
and in his selfshness he forgets
when he was not so blessed with this
worlds goods.
Does anyone stop to think what a
large amount of work is necessary to
get dinner for a hungry mob of
400? The collection of little here
and there, the preparation and the
serving, all require time and labor
The Volunteers do 1t lovingly, cheer
fully and without thanks in many
cases. The busy world looks on,
remarks it is a good thing, but lends
no helping hand. 1t is only the Vol
unteers, they say. They are used to
caring for the unfortunate.
God bless the Volunteers
Would that there were more Of
them.

PRIVATE ARMIES.

1t is not so very long ago since
every great noble thought it incum-
bent upon his dignity to surround
himself with as strong force OF
armed retainers as he could afford
to upkeep. And even today, within
the confines OF the British isles the
custom stili fingers, although few
people probably are aware Of the
fact. One Of the most numerous and
best equipped OF these present-day
private armies is that maintained by
the duke OF Atholl, at Blair Atholl,
In Perthshire. II consisted, accord
ing to the latest returns. of 22S Of
ficers and men, whose armament is
of the most modern and approved
pattern. Prior to 1912 this was not
the case. the privates retaining their
ancient lochaber axes. claymores and
targets, while the officers carried the
traditional short broadsword (fal-
chion) of the Highland chieftains.

JEFF DAVIS, BIRTHDAY.

Hon. Jefferson Davis birthday here on

at the court house at 1920 o'clock a. m.

for the occasion.
Prayer was offered by DR.. G. E. w.
Dobbs.

speaker of the occasion, Hon. J. q.
Nolan, of McDonough, who, for forty
minutes, held his audience spell-bound
with his matchless tribute to the lofty
character, superb statesman and uD-
selfish devotion and self-sacrifice of
Jefferson Davis. The speaker certainly
did justice to the cause jeff Davis had
espoused, and held in high eulcgy the
noble old Confederate Chieftain. We
are sure all who heard his eloquent ad-
dress were charmed and fully repaid by
giving the occasion their presence.
As long as true Southern hearts beat,
they will beat in loving loyalty to the
memory of Jefferson Davis.
