Fire in the Woods

This is the season of the forest fire, which rages, not as an inacrutahls act of Providence, but on account of the oulpable carelessness or criminal intent of man; and is permitted to rage be- cause conservation has no interests" to inspire State legislators who, without such indictment to duty, appear indiffsr- ent to the well-establishsd fact that pro- tecting our woodland is saving actual money for the people.
 Mostly, these confiagrationa are started by campers who leave their cooking fire only partially sxtinguished, or who toss a lignted match to ono side, unmindful of where it falls or the likely conHs. quences. Some of the fires have been set going by coal-burning locomotives, and in certain Adirondack sections fires have even originated, SO it is asserted, in n local desire for State employment AE fire-fghters at two dollars a day. It tis difficult to believe incendiarism so vile a possibility, but if suoh creatures infest the Adirondacks their activity will be restricted by proper protective equip ment; and dose of No. 3 chilled shot from full-choke, twenty-gA barrel will prove salutary corrective both for the culprit and for his kind.-Casper Whitney in Golfers.

NO MORE SMALL CHECKS
If You Write One Less Than $I .OO You
 Pay Heavy Penalty.


 Pay Heavy Penalty.
 A new federal criminal law, passed by the last congress, will go into effect January 1. All crimes against the gov ernment have proper punishment pro- vided under the law.
 There is one section of the new law which will set many people guessing It says that no person shall draw a chech upon bank for less than $1.0O and violation of the provision of the law can be punished by a fine of $500 or sentance of six months or both the fine and the sentance. The law reads:
 "Section ITS. No person shall make, circulate or pay out any note, check, memorandum, token or other obligation for less sum than one dollar, intended to circulate as money or to be received or used in lieu of lawful money of the United States; and every person so offending shall be fined not more than six months or both"
 Canaan banking men are much mysti- fled over the provision of the law. Law makers frequently do funny things and judging from the statements by bank ing men to-day-if the object of the law is to stop the issuance of small checks Section ITS of the federal criminal code is one of the funnest yet. Local banking men admit the working of the section would stop the sending out by bank depositoTs of checks calling for less than one dollar.
 Banking men don't like to bother with five-cent or 40-cent check any more than a grocer likes to sell two cents worth of sugar, but it IS all ill the business. There is just as much work about 15-cent check as there is over a check for $1,500. But bankers could not see any need for such provision in the law. It was stated that it is much easier for one who is dishonest to raise a check where it is for less than $1.0C unless the maker was very careful, than fer a larger sum.
 Business houses and those who do business with banks will kick over the provision i'll the new law if its object is to prevent bank depositor from making out check for less than S1.O0. A fine of $500 or six months sentence or both seems pretty stiff punishment, if such j the intent Of the law, for the man ol woman who pays 8 50-cent debt by drawing check where person has 8 bank occount.
 The existence of such provision has caused much surprise among the local banking men. It will cause still more surprise among persons and corporation. who have checking accounts In banks.

Soan Grows on Trees


 Side by side grow the soap tree and the tallow tree. The soap tree yields a product from which is manufactured the purest article of soap that is possible to be made. Indeed,r the pulp of the berry is natural soap and will make a lather almost like the manufactured article. The soap berry tree is now creating widespread interest and the berries are being imported from Algiers and China.
 It will pay to plant the trees and look after their cultivation, says the Ocala (Fla.) Banner. The product of the tallOw tree also enters into the making of soap, and the two together make a nice combination, and their cultivation should be looked after by those interested in new industries. Besides soap, the soap berries make a very fine oil, and when the virtues of the tallow tree are fully known it may also yield fine and profitable oil. The young man who now plants out ten or twenty acre orchard of these two trees may drop into an easy fortune.

 Members of Tammany Hall have been giving serious discussion during the last few days to MT. Jerome s candidacy, and from some of the more potent leaders in the organization has come the report that MT. Jerome will not receive Tam many indorsement. The belief has been quite firm in some quarters that Tam many would put the District Attorney s name on it's ticket. William McAdoo is being considered.

DEERSLAYERS, READ
 THIS TIMELY ADVICE
OTHER HUNTERS PERUSE IT TOO
If You go to Adirondacks Don't Wear Clothing to Match Woods, Lest You be Shot-Learn How to Make Tour niquet and Take Compass.

There is no doubt that the hunter who guishable in tint from the foliage of the forest at this season will stand the best chance of bagging deer, but at the same time he runs the risk of being mistaken for deer by some laundering amateur who never should have been permitted to take out hunters license. Reports from the Adirondacks state that deer are more plentiful this season than in many years past and that they are as fat as butter. Such being the case, 1t would seem the part of discretion to wear clothing that would make one so conspicuous that the fool with the gun would have no excuse for mistaking one for deer, especially as it should be no hard task for good hunter to get deer when they are so plentiful.
 An excellent thing to remember when going into the North Woods is that a tourniquet can be improvised in a moment if one is wounded and in danger of bleeding to death. The improvised tourniquet has saved thousands of lives and thousands have been lost because of lack of presence of mind to use it. If wounded in leg or arm, tie @ hand. kershief or any strip of stout cloth - tear piece off your shirt if necessary around the limb above the wound, with short stick inserted in the knot, and twist the stick until the circulation oi the blood is entirely shut off. This has kept many man from bleeding to death until he could reach a surgeon
 It seems hardly necessary to say that no person who is not familiar with the Adirondacks should go into the North Woods without compass. In addition to compass 1t Is always we'll to carry some sort of condensed food that, on 6 pinch, would sustain life for few days With matches, a few pounds of corr meal 8 fish line and hooks, a man of in telligence might be lost for week ol two in the woods without suffering any great inconvenience. ce.-Albany, N.

Vegetables in Mexico

Good vegetables are scarce and high priced throughout Mexico. and in the large towns there are few to be had. It IS only within recent years that fresh vegetables have appeared in Merida and Yucutan, their appearance being due to some Chinese who went to work on the henequen plantations, who saw their opportunity and became truck farmers" Near the city of Veracruz the soil is rich. easily worked and vegetables of all kinds do extremely we'll, the main crops being grown in the winter, when it is necessary 10 irrigate in order to secure rapid growth; yet only a few farmers near the city take any account of this class of produce. Nearly all vegetables grown in the United States can be grown here, although cabbage and caulifiower do better near the foothills. Gooseberries, red and black entrants, raspberries and rhubarb are not grown here, but there is no apparent reason why they cannot be.-Consul w. W. CauAda.

Stellar Phenomena

To express the distance from the earth to the fixed stars such units as the mile are meaningless. The diameter of the earth's orbit 1O5, 100000 miles) would have to be applied 1O5, ,OCO times to reach the Alpha Centauri, our nearest stellar neighbor. The unit of measure em- ployed by astronomers to represent these vast distances is the lght-year, which is the distance through which light travels in year-slightly less than 6,000, ,00O,- 0O0,0 miles. If Sirius. the brightest star In the heavens, were suddenly quenched, his light could continue to reach us for nearly IT years. For the light from the pole star to reach the earth requires 2115 years. Recent pro- gress in stellar photography reveals mil lions of stars beyond the reach of the most powerful telescope. For light to reach the earth from the farthest of these stars requires hundreds of years

Managing Small SaiIboats.

1t is quite trick to lower a main
sail properly. In the first place, the
hoops should be just large enough
not so large, however, that the sail
does not set close to the mast. Lower
the throat first and follow it with the
peak. If the peak is dropped first,
says writer in Country Life In Amer
lea, the sail will not come down. It
goes without saying that the sail must
be shaken when you want to lower
It. To lower a centerboard when un-
der way put the helm up and keep the
boat off. A small boat can be stop
ped by putting the helm up and down
across the boat quickly. This is use
full In coming up to dock or moor
ing. A boat can be got out Of stays
by dropping her peak and then hoist
ing 1t when she is under way. An
other way is to put the helm down,
slack the main sheet and let her drift
back; then trim her quickly and she
will sail away. Always go to the lee
side OF dock. When a boat is towed
make sure that it has good painter,
especially at night .,.~,
