WARN AGAINST FOREST WASTE

Following an exhaustive investiga-
ton throughout the west, the geologi
cal survey has issued a warning
against the ''prodigious waste of nat
ural resources"
The alarming statement is made
that the better part of the country's
fuel supply will be gone by the end
of the century unless steps are taken
toward conservation.
1t is declared that in mining nearly
one-half the total coal supply is left
on the ground and that water is
wasted to the extent of millions of
horsepower.

n, porlin. Oct. 8.-The science of

strong wind was blowing, for the
good reason that their steersman are
aware that their weak motive power

The greatest speed attained by any
Of them-and this applies also to
French balloons-has not exceeded in
round figures 20 miles an hour, and
at that rate in such a wind they
would be driven backward. Even the
Zeppelin, which is credited with
speed of 33 or 81 miles an hour
would do little more than hold its

binary balloon material, while Parse
Val's balloon is entirely composed of
flexible material similar to that used
in spherical balloons.

The Army Worm.

He's notable pest.
He ruins the crops.
In 1743 he appeared by millions.
That was in struggling New Eng
land.
Dr. Bouton, of Vermont, saw ten
bushels in a heap.
The last very serious onslaught was
made In 1895.
He feeds on the succulent stalks Of
wheat, corn, oats and the like.
Fortunately he has a host Of nat
ural enemies.
His mamma is a llght-brown moth,
who lays her eggs In meadow grasses.
In his six weeks from egg to moth
fly he does his great damage to the
precious crops.
He's a juicy morsel for the meadow
lark, the bObollnk, the blackbird, robin
redbreast and many others. The black
beetle also devours him wholesale.

SON that while the herd books have
given the total number of pigs far

given only for those raised. The re-
port included lat filters. The number
Of boar pigs was 8,66O, the number of
cows 6,626. The average per sow was,

teal purposes the sexes may be regard
ed as equal In number at birth, al
though the boars are seen to be slightly
more numerous than sows Expressed

the proportion stands 201 boars to 200
sows. The results were gathered from
twenty-five States and Territories and
represented eight breeds, with several

BASE BALL DOPE
Bookings Will Not Have League
Team Next Year

The usual winter stories of a South
Dakota base ball league are now going
the rounds of the state papers. Brook
ings is mentioned as one of the towns
which will be included in the league.
the others being Madison, Watertown,
Flandreau and Siaux Falls. While
Brookings will probably be in the
base ball business next season it
Is not likely that we could
be induced to enter a league. There
are some arguments in favor of a
league, but there are a great many
more against it. Brookings has had
two successful seasons with a salaried
independent team, and is well enough
satisfied with that class of baseball.
The Watertown Public-Opinion has
the following to say about the state
league proposition:
Despite the failure of many efforts
to organize league of minor baseball
clubs under the protection of the Ma
tional Association of Baseball leagues,
Sioux Falls parties have started a
| movement to get some of the better
known cities in South Dakota, includ-
ing Watertown, into a minor league,
l.. j. Galbreath Is at the head of the
movement and he has written to in.
terst the Watertown Baseball asso.
citation, a corporation, in the project.
1t is proposed to include Watertown,
Bookings, Madison. Flandreau, and
Sioux Falls in South Dakota, and Lu.
verne and Pipestone in Minnesota.
With what favor this proposition will
meet the result of prior and like at.
tempts 1t is probable that there will
be nothing doing. The old park, in.
GLIDING fences. bleachers and grand.
stand on the west side has gone by the
board. and the assets Of the associa.

BOYS Use OF Earometers.

Every English schooIboy who can
afford it has barometer that he
Keeps hidden under his bed or in his

pupils Why should they be forbid

Through the autumn and winter the
English schoo'boy plays football every
afternoon, weather permitting. He
must play two hours each clear day.
These two hours are taken off his rec
itatious. They make his school tasks
two hours lighter; hence when he
knows beforehand that the next day
will be clear lie may spare himself
two hours Of useless study the night
before. His barometer pointing tC
fine saves him Il lot of toll. But
when the instrument points to

that there will be no football Thus
a boy with a barometer has a big adj
vantage. He often sells weather pre-
