poses, especially for small or narrow

a more beautiful figure. although

Hence, In a series of elementary and

bility of different kinds of woods to diff

only differs from that of another, but
the boards cut from the first or lower
log of a tree often differ very much
from those cut from a log taken from the
upper part of the same tree. The SAP
wood differs from the heartwood and
the wood of the quickly growing tree
OF the field or open from that of the
mature tree of the forest.
The builder needs lumber in large
quantities and of large dimensions, and
puts comparatively little work on tha
wood used, n for him the lighter and
softer woods are usually the best.

Are the Packers Receiving Fair PlayP

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton. 1t a severely criticised and
rOundly denounced. After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
it have failed to cOntrovert the figures
contained in that exhaustive document.
The public is beginning to notice this
omission, and the feeling is rapidly
growing that the sensational charges
out OF which the Beef Investigation
arose were without foundation. If the
official statements of the report are
susceptible of contradiction, a good
many people are now asking why the
facts and figures are not furnished to
contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in a recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect that
forty Iowa banks were forced to close
their doors in 1904 by the Beef
Trusts manipulation of cattle prices"
Chief Clerk Cox, of the banking de-
partment of the Iowa State Auditors
Office, has tabulated the list of banks
given in the magazine article and has
publicly denounced the statement as
utterly untrue. He gives separately
the reasons for each failure mentioned
and officially states that they have
been caused by unwise speculations
and by reckless banking methods. 1t
may be we'll to suspend judgment upon
the packers until the charges against
them are proved.

woody rings, each ring representing one

On the outside of the annual rings Of

A further examination will also show
