THE WOOD WASTE DECREASING
United States is Taking Up the Systematic
Study of Wood Conservation

A Massachusetts, manufacturer ol
brushes recently went to the Pine Tree
state to buy wood for the backs OF hair
brushes and the handles OF shaving
brushes, and chanced to visit the yards
Of spool maker who was using white
birch. The spool man took the white
part Of the wood only, and was throw
ing away the red hearts. Thousands
Of cords had been burned or dumped
in the lake 10 be rid Of it. The red
hearts were exactly what the brush
maker wanted, and at little more than
the expense Of freight he supplied his
factory.
This is typical Of the trend Of man
ufacturing. Waste of wood is still
great, but it is decreasing. What one
factory cannot use another turns to
profit. Formerly mills threw away half
the forest-tops left in the woods,
sawdust dumped in streams, slabs
burned in perpetual bonfres, and
defective logs and low grade lumber
abandoned as not worth moving.
This policy does not generally pre-
vail now. Some mills put in machin-
cry to work up their own by-products,
others sell their waste to manufacturers
who can use it.
The United States Forest Service
has taken up this study in compre
hensive and systematic way. Investi-
cations of the woods of particular states
are being conducted. The plan will
include every commercial wood in the
United States, not fewer than 200
species. The properties Of each will
be investigated, its hardness, tough
ness, elasticity, durability, weight, fuel
value, size of tree, regions where grown,
and other matters OF this kind. A his
tory Of the woods uses in the past will
be given, and an account OF present
uses; together with suggestions for
wider range OF usefulness in the future
by pointing out in what capacities ii
will serve best and be most valuable.

Apple Show Dates Changed

Remember the National Apple Show
will be held November IS to 20 in
stead of in December, as announced
in the early spring. The change has
been made at the suggestion OF a
number Of leading growers, who say
their fruit can better be exhibited the
middle Of November and then be
rushed on to the East in time for the
winter trade; and also there is chance
Of weather conditions being better in
November than in early December.

Is This an Apple Country?

More than a year ago F. A. Drebis
heeled in a lot Of young apple trees on
the old Rawlins ranch now owned by
Dwight Darling. Nothing was ever
done with them, and a short time ago
L. J. Nelson went out to look al the
trees and found lot OF them bearing
apples just as though they had been
set out in regular rows and irrigated.
THE further up the valley you go, the
bigger and redder the apples grow"

every seat in the assembly room is now

paper on the death of Leslie E. Terpena.

years, are we'll known in this vicinity
and will have the sympathy of many
friends in their bereavement.
LESLIE E. TERPENA.
There died at the general hospital, on
Saturday afternoon last, of typhoid
fever, Leslies E. Terpena, the thirteen
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Terpena.
of 81 Alfred avenue The fatal termi-
nation of the struggle which the
deceased had borne very bravely came
as great grief to a large number of
boy companies in the Machray day
school and McDougal Sunday school,
with whom he was an especial favorite,
and 1t is with deep sorrow that they
tender their sympathy to the parents
and family of their late friend. Leslie
was reserved, manly and gentlemanly
lad, and was an active comrade in all
the sports and enterprises Of the inter
mediate boys. 1t is believed that he
contracted the fever through drinking
river water while assisting with the
crowd in making rink on the Red river
some weeks ago.
Deceased was in the sixth grade at
Machray school. The flag at the school
was kept lowered all the early part of
the week while the body was awaiting
burial, and the members of his class
placed a beautiful wreath on the vacant
desk.
The funeral took place on Wednesday
afternoon. A short service was held al
the residence, when the cortege pro.
ceeded to McDougal church, where Rev.
III. Hull conducted service which was
participated in by a very large number
of young people. The Baraca class OF
McDougall provided the pall-bearers
who were: Earl Knox, Campbell Wat
son, F. Fox, joseph Benson, A Cole
and A. Syre.
Among the many floral tokens there
were: From Machray Intermediate
