plan Is shown in the accompanying
sketch. Cedar p ,sts are placed in this

surface of the post.
The 26.inch woven wire was placed

woven wire was not stapled TO the
end posts but each strand brought
around the post and wrapped on it.

wire and 2x6 make the fence 80 inches

fence and after three seasons use we
are perfectly satisfied with it, But
one repair has been made n that at

consist OF doors which slide up ana

sMooT TO FIGHT FOR cANTEEN.

While the senate is deciding whether Senator
Smoot, of Utah, shall retain his seat in that body
the senator himself will be urging upon his col.
leagues the passage of IA bill providing for the re,
establishment of the army canteen, which he
intends to introduce early next December.
Il have little reputation to lose among the
women of the country the senator says, so 1t
seems that may as we'll be the champion of
what each and every representative in congress
believes should be done. ! think they all agree
with the officers of the army that the anti-can-
teen law is unwise. But because of public senti.
ment they all are afraid to como out and urge its
repeal"
Any well defined effort to secure the repeal
of the anti.canteen law Is certain to bring down
upon congress an avalanche of protests from the
women of the country. 1t was the women wht
compelled the abolition of the canteen, and it is
deferred the congressman from doing anything In
ton as recommended by army officers.
