I'D you ever stop to realize the differ
ence between hand laundry and Or
IL binary laundries? Did you know that
hand-fnishing means 500 longer
life for your garments 1t you will
keep account of the number Of trips your col
lars and shirts make, while we are doing your
washing, you will be agreeably surprised.
There is reason for all this. In the first
place, this is absolutely sanitary laundry.
We use good pure soap and great plenty of
clean fresh water in the washing. The boil
ing and rinsing is done with the utmost care
and sanitation, and when the clothing is ready
for the hand-fnish it possesses that clean
sweet smell and that fluffy white appearance
so much desired by the clearly people.

And Strictly Hand Work Too

TN the starching and finishing we excel all
other laundries We use only the highest
grade of starch possible to buy. We
don't overstarch or understarch, but give
it just the right amount to make a soft. lus-
trious finish without the danger Of brittle
stiffness. In the finishing we use only electric
hand-irons to do the work. Instead of being
jerked and mashed, torn by machinery, each
piece is taken separately, and carefully ironed
out by experienced hand ironers. We want you
to try US with your Monday morning 8 wash
be it large small-a few collars or a big
family bundle, you'll receive the same prompt
and satisfactory service. Our phone number
is SAG. It won't take you two minutes to call
us up-do it now. Where shall the wagon
stop?

would be manifestly improper to in

editor couldn't think of any motive.
On the way to the inner office he de-
cided to take the governor into his
confidence and confess that there
wasn't any cause for the visit. except
small matter of editorial courtesy.
Prompted, no doubt, by that spirit

party in the state and that enabled

necessity for constant patrol on the

summon help for a fire. In single
case of forest fire it may be worth the
entire cost of its construction. No
other work of improving the forests
has been more acceptable to the resi-

In the summer of 1905 Secretary
Wilson and United States Forester
Clifford Pinchot, after going over large
areas of little developed and almost
unexplored national forest land. de-

proper connections, would be inval,

From two to five ranger stations are

and by the use of phones in the homes

points on the forest are reached. The
marked saving in time otherwise re-
quired for trip of from 20 to 40
miles is evident.
On some forests lookout stations
have been established to which wire
is run and a man stationed in the
vicinity, so that he can climb the
point of vantage several times each
day and with his glass sweep over the
landscape in every direction, quickly
scanning an area of two or three hun

plans that fire patrol and fire control
have been established on the national
forests with an exceedingly small pro.
tective fore, and damage from fire
has been reduced to a minimum.

him to win his fight for the senate
against apparently overwhelming odds.
Gov. Bradley talked to the boy jour
nalist for an hour, speaking most in
terestingly on subjects that could not
fail to interest even youth that didn't
have news instinct.
The governor described his early ex-
periences as a Republican in a Demo
cratic hotbed, when to go to the polls
and vote the Republican ticket was
only one form of committing suicide.
He told how at one period of his po-
litical activity it became necessary for
all the Republicans of the town in
which he lived to fortify themselves
in a house and defend themselves
against Democratic raiders who were
thirsting for blood.
There were so many of these stories
that the hour had passed before either
the governor or his visitor knew 1t,

wv est results in protec-
" " ton against fire, with
a minimum of eXpend1-
ture, the forest service has decided
to establish on the most advantageous
points of the national forests in the
west a series of lookout stations from
which news of the breaking out OF
forest fires can be telephoned to for
est officials.
Since all of these stations will COM
mand a view of the country for miles
around, the work of detecting and ex-
tinguishing fires in their incipiency
will, by this plan, be greatly expe-
dited, with the result that many thou
sands of dollars worth of valuable
timber will be saved annually.
In most of the national forest states
the climate is very dry, and the rain
fall light. Conditions, therefore, are
remarkably favorable for the spread
of fire and extraordinary diligence is
necessary in patroling dangerous
areas. To administer the vast area
included in the national forests, ap-
proximately 195,000,00O acres. the
government has about 1,400 men in
the field If each man could be used
for fire patrol, he would have to
cover approximately $4,000 acres.
AS a matter of fact, however, the vol
ume of business on the national for
ests has grown to such proportions
that less than twenty-five per cent. of
the force is valuable. This makes it
necessary to spread an average mans
service over nearly four times $4,000
acres, decreasing fire protection far
below the point of safety in many
cases.
In the face of this, however, fire
losses on the national forests are kept
at point where they are trivial when
compared with the damage which
would be caused were the lands con-
tanned in the national forests unpro-
tected.
A lookout station has been estab-
lished on Shuteye peak in the high
Sierras, for the purpose of watching
for any fires which might occur in the
mountains. This peak has an eleva-
ton of 8,S5S feet and the observer
commands view of large portion of
Tuolumne, MADEIRA and Fresno coun-
ties. in California.
A cabin constructed at the top of
the mountain and a telephone in
stalled, connects with the forest su-
pervisor's office in the valley and the
various ranger stations on the ST.
ezra forest. The observer is equipped
with powerful field glasses and when
a fire is discovered news Is instantly
telephoned to the nearest ranger.
During the short time the station
has been maintained its usefulness has
twice been demonstrated by the dis
covery of fires in remote localities.
These were readily extinguished be-
fore they could gain dangerous head
way. thus saving valuable timber and
forage which might otherwise have
been devastated had not the fires been
discovered in their incipiency.
