 CONTEST
MOTOR CAR RACE FROM COAST TO COAST ATTRACTS ATTENTION
 OF sPoRTsMEN

SEATTLE, Wash, March 25-The Alaska. Yukon Pacific Exposition auto mobile race from New York city to the Exposition grounds in Seattle bids fair to result in more good roads activity than has all the campaigning of the last half dozen years.
 Every county in the state of Wash ington through which the course of the transcontinental racers will run, is busy building and repairing its principal highways.
 The same is to be said of the state of Idaho, and word comes from other states on the western end of the route that similar work will be begun once the exact route is indicated.
 On invitations from boards of supervi- sors in Idaho, M. Robert Guggenheim, promoter of the race and donor of the Guggenheim trophy, has started on an au,o tour over the western end of the routc. With a party of friends he took one of his big touring cars through Snoqualmie Pass, out of Seattle, and is now making his way slowly n,o1gh eastern Washington, carefully insasct- ing all roads and making suggestions for their repair and for signboards which will mark the way of the racers. He will go on across the state and through Idaho on the same mission. He plans to end his trip in Green River, Wyoming.
 A party of Seattle auto drivers will go out from this city to meet the scout cars which will leave New York city and Chicago today for the purpose of marking the route and arranging the checking stations along the $500 miles of raceway.
 The offer of $250 made by MT. Gug- genheim for the best design for tro- phy to cost $2,000, has resulted in de- signs and models being sent in from ar lists all over the country and Canada. The committee having this natter in charge has recently sent out notice that the contract for making the trophy will be given the maker of the accepted de- sign, if he shall be equipped for the work

The Anesr,s Grim Humor.

Although in every way milder than his father. Habib Ullah occasionally manifests humor uo less grim, as was lately disclosed to his chief body servant, Ahmed Rashid. This worthy, whose duty 1t is to take care of the royal wardrobe, was becoming neglect ful when one morning Habib Ullah noticed q black scorpion. whose sting is unusually agonlzing. in a boot that he had been aDout to put on. Sum- moning Ahmed to his side. the ameer complained that the boot pinched his foot and ordered the servant to stretch 1t by drawing 1t on his foot. The pain of the bite was not the more readily forgotten from the fact that nothing of much consequence could be done to relieve it-London Strand

This is the most dangerous time of the year to catch cold, and it is the hardest time to cure it. If you should take cold, few doses of Kenne iy < Laxative Cough Syrup will act very promptly.

Homemade Ditch DIGGER.

A complete homemade ditch digger
may be made by following the de-
scription here given.
The bed piece, five and half
inches long, is cut out of a hard plank
two and half inches thick. bolted at
each end and in the middle to prevent
splitting. The rear half is nine inches
wide and the front half six inches
wide.
The diggers are made of steel bars
two and a half inches wide, three
quarters Of an inch thick and twenty.
four inches long. They are fastened
to the plank by right angle turn and
bolted. The two rear diggers are held
firmly by rod with nuts inside and
out, the points being spread out SO
that the bed piece can easily drop
into the space when the ditch is two
feet or more in depth. The front dig
ger is the same size, but set in the
middle. All are held firmly by brace
rods and sharpened like the fiat end
Of pickax. A wheel is set under the
front end to steady the movement and
is braced backward. An adjusta BILE
draw iron is placed above. through
which the rod may pass at any height
suited to the depth of the ditch.
The handles are also adjustable, rails
ing them as the digger drops lower

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

A scald is one of the most painful
injuries One of the best healing rem
edies is made by beating castor oil
and white of egg together until a
cream is formed.
Talcum was never intended as a tot
let article for whitening the face, but
it soothes q burned skin. If, however,
talcum is added to face powder the
irritation that often follows the appli-
cation Of face powder will not be no
ticed. 1t makes a powder smooth.
For pimples take sarsaparilla or any
blood tonic for two weeks and drink
plenty of water and exercise the body
daily. Hot baths, followed by shower
baths, will assist in purifying the
blood One teaspoonful of carbolic
acid in one pint of rosewater, well
mixed, can be sparingly applied to
pimples and will remove them. For
moth patches mix rum and sulphur
together and apply at night, using care
not to get it into the eyes.
To keep the complexion looking as
white and clear as one could desire
there could be no more helpful ally
than a black velvet band around the
neck. Other effects, too, may be pro-
duced by the judicious use Of this adj
junct to the toilet. A narrow band
around a long neck will make it ap-
pear somewhat shorter, and it will
make the complexion daZzlingly white
in contrast, while a wide black band
will tend to lengthen the neck and will
have the same desirable effect upon the
complexion.
A skin whitening preparation that
can be easily made at home is in the
proportion of two tablespoonfuls of
oatmeal, half tablespoonful of pow
dered boraX and a half pint of rose
water Let the mixture stand three
days, strain and add a half ounce of
alcohol The addition of the alcohol
prevents the souring which is the
drawback to so many oatmeal prepare
lions. If preferred, instead of using
all oatmeal it can be mixed with half
it's bulk of almond meal. Either Of
these washes makes the skin feel soft
AND smooth if rubbed on the hands or
face after washing.

WIRE PLANT PROTECTOR.

when no longer needed. If given a
coating of coal tar or some weather
proof paint occasionally these protect
ors should last for years. Some Of the
smallest beetles can crawl through the
meshes of wire screen, but one can
easily kill the very few that get inside.
The bush or summer squashes ii
taken when tender and cooked like
eggplant are much superior to that
well known vegetable. OF course
where the bush squashes are about
mature and before the borers leave
the stem to hibernate in the soil the
vines should be pulled and destroyed
to kill the borer. This should be done
about Aug. 1; the time varies with the
latitude. Spraying the first four or
five joints of the squash vine mot the
leaves with kerosene emulsion is 4
good plan, as also are catching and kill
ing the adult moth. which is very con-
spicuous and easily found when once
known. However, the trap crop plan
will be found to be the most practical
and satisfactory method of dealing
with the squash borer. In using the
above described screen protectors 1t is
well to remember that the soil should
be drawn up about the edges Of the
box or wire screen and firmed down
so as to be sure that none Of the bugs
can crawl under the Sides

Early Onions.

Onion sets should be planted as soon
as the frost is out of the ground The
bulbs will stand frost without injury.
If the ground was plowed in the fall
all that is necessary is to harrow the
ground over well, then work off and
stick the onions in just deep enough
to completely cover them with the fine
earth. Set out in fifteen inch rows
two inches apart in the row If the crop
is to be worked with the hand cultiva-
tor and twenty inches apart if the
horse cultivatOr is to be used. Onions
require a deep, finely pulverized. rich
soil. Spread the manure along the
drill rows and where the shoots ap
pear sow little high grade phosphate
along the row. One handful will SOW
twenty feet of the row. For family
use the White Portugal and the Silver
Skin are the best two kinds. as they
are of mild flavor, close grained and
a beautiful clear white. For the mar
ket plant the Yellow Strassburg and
the Red Danvers. These two kinds
are hardy and rapid growers and are
mostly grown by the German truckers
for punching when half grown and
also for selling in midsummer The
truckers raise a crop of onions and q
crop Of cabbage or celery from the
same land each season. The manure
given the onions will carry the second
crop through

THE FAD FlEND.

We frd a fad and follow 1t,
Convinced, you may De sure,
That we have run across at last
For every i'll a cure,
And. be it laying on OF hands
Or eating once a day
Or only basking in the sun.
1t carries us away.
The truth at last, the final word
That leaves no more to say,
Is now securely in our grasp.
We own it. come what may.
If it is chewing every bite
A thousand times or SO,
We know, indeed, we must be right,
Recause we know we know.
And how we pity simple souls
Who have not found the light,
Who struggle in the ancient way
And cannot get things right!
And so we wash our race with pran
Or have a skimmilk feast.
Though others may in bondage be,
Our set is free at least.
And so we follow up our fad.
So happy in the find,
Until another one appears,
And then we change our mind,
And we desert the one for which
Forsworn we were to die,
From blue grass switch to breakfast
food.
And never blink an eye.

More Apples Needed.

Radical changes are necessary in the
culture Of apples on this continent or
the United States, and Canada will be
forced in few years to import apples
instead of exporting them. If it had
not been for the enormous crops in
the orchards of the Pacific and north
western states and provinces last year
an apple famine would have resulted.
Many of the middle western and
eastern states reported small yields
In 1908 due to failures In numerous in.
stances, but generally because of pests.
Many orchards were neglected, and in
scores of places the trees were per-
mitted to die because of inattention.
In 1896 the total product Of the crop
of the country was 69,O7O.OO0 barrels.
or III, $751; 900 bushels. Since then hun
dreds of thousands of acres have been
added. and methods Of fruit growing
have improved. yet the government
reports show that the aggregate crop
N all the states in the Union was not
more than 25,OOO.OO0 barrels, or 3d.

cutting a circular piece of wire screen
twenty-four inches in diameter and
then folding over section, amounting
to One-fourth to one-third of the cir
conference, and fastening with short
pieces Of small wire pushed through
the meshes and the ends twisted to-

how these protectors are made. At re-
tail prices the protectors made this
way will cost cents each, but they
have this advantage over the box
style-the light and air have full &C
cess to the plants, as a glance at the
ink bottle in the wire plant protector
will prove, the bottle being placed In
the center Of the protector. These
pictures were taken early in April, and
the ink bottle had to do duty in place
Of the plants. Another advantage of
this style is that the protectors may
be nestled together and stored easily

1t is not small matter to safely

cieties Of the sixties. After the war
the work of relief became more than
ever important because Of the perma-
nent disability of thousands of sol
diers, many of whom had families de-
pendent upon them. After a few
years of desultory effort by unattach-
cd societies it was deemed best to
unite in one strong organization which
should be the auxiliary to that of
the veterans and prepared to system.
atically assist them in their philan-
thropic work. Representative Of
many small societies met in Denver in
the summer of 1883 and organized the
corps. with charter list of forty-five
members.
During its twenty-six years of eX-
istence $3,500O00 has been expended
for relief alone. Families Of veterans
have been provided with food and
clothing, homes and employments
have been found for soldiers widows
and orphans. the sick have been cared
for and the dead buried. In several
states homes are maintained where
disabled veterans may be accompanied
by their faithful wives and their de-

CRE0S0TiNG FENCErosTs.

An Experiment by the United States
Forestry Service.

of that state W.ieIt Lii, II Of the lane
is unfenced and in such localities it is
difficult to obtain good posts. since the
only common trees are willow and cot
tonwood, and these do not make dur
able posts in their natural condition
The need for Information on the best
method of preserving fen eInsts in
that region or elS@w here. therefore, is
urged by the department of agricul-
ture.
Much land now lying i:,lr is, well
adapted for paSturage were it fenced
1t is evident that the securing of a
durable ard comparatively cheap post
would give great impetus to the work
of fencing and would result in tho
more intensive utilization of the land
1t is believed that creoSOting of the
native woods will provide such a post
Considerable data on the best treat
ment for each of number Of different
species was obtained by these expert
ments, and the feasibility of creosot-
ing posts was clearly demonstrated
Detailed @lvice on the work will be
given to all who request it of the for
est service at Washington.
AS a result of the interest aroused
by this work there has been formed in
one locality an association of about
twenty-five farmers for the purpose of
creosoting their fencepOsts. Through
such an organization the preservative
treatments can be more cheaply ac-
complished than by individual farmers
because of the saving in the initial
cost of the apparatus and the cost of
the creosote. If the plan proves feast

PROTECTION FOR SQUASH.

TWO Practical and inexpensive Plan&
to Prevent Ravases of Borers.
The most difficult matter about
growing squashes is to protect the
vines from the various insects that
prey upon them This is especially
true in the home garden and small
plots near buildings or near where
SquasheS or other vine crops were
grown the previous year, because the
insects hibernate in the buildings ana
: in the ground near the vines they fed
upon for the winter. For the striped
cucumber beetle there is no poison or
repellent that will prove effective and
satisfactory at all times. The box
plant protector shown in the cut is II

ed with wire screen, which is set over
the hill when the seeds are planted
and left on until the plants get too

made of old pine boxes or other oddi
and ends, and they need not cost over
cents apiece, even if the lumber must
be purchased. Another style. in the
