Mrs. r. II. Tucker.

and who claims to be the first woman
wireless operator in the world, is sta
toned in the steamship Indianapolis,
plying between points on the sound.
Mrs. Tucker is small young
woman and has been married only a
short time. Her husband is also
wireless telegraph operator. In con-
nection with their marriage there is a
wireless romance, but Cupid is dis
creetly silent about this. and the few
friends who know the circumstances
are not talking.
The little woman is a wireless en-
thusiast. She knows the business
from start to finish. She is an expert
with the Morse and Continental codes,
and there is little going on in the air
that she doesn't know about. Her
husband is in charge of the United
Wireless station at Tacoma, and it is
in that city they live. Mrs. Tucker
makes four trips daily between Seattle
and Tacoma and spends the nights in
Tacoma. She has been in charge of
several wireless stations on the Pa
cific coast and has always been found
competent to send and transmit aero
grams as well as to keep the instru.
ments in good working order.

conditions were practically the same.
The two establishments reporting
these figures employ high standard
OF business methods and the figures
given are reliable. Forty-two barrels

the first year the trees are bled and
where boxes are used.
In Texas and Louisiana a greater
percentage of operators own their
own timber. Some of the most extern
sive places in these states are oper-
ated by large numbering companies
or corporations who are bleeding
their trees for .turpentine and rosin
previous to converting them into
lumber. These companies have care
fully and systematically studied both
methods of turpentining and the fact
that the new methods are more gen.
orally in use in those states indicates
their advantage over the old.

happened to become Interested From
the start. however. these Dayton bi.
cycle manufacturers were keen for
aeroplanes. They believed that the
soaring and flying of birds could best
be initiated by aeroplanes.
The manner in which birds kept on
mile after mile after vessels at sea

again. interested these brothers, as
1t has interested thousands of per.
sons who are not wrapped up in aero
planes. The brothers knew or learned
that the birds occasionally tapped
their wings in the midst of soaring
because they had to mount another
or different air current.

kindergartens in small towns and vii

its members declare that nowhere in
the country is there such demand
for the schools as within radius OF
100 miles of New York city. Richard

He either missed his footing or

reasonable terms to individuals and

In order that promoters of irriga-
ton enterprises may obtain the bene'
fit of the subsidy law they must OPP
crate under a government concession.
Since the new law went into effect
there has been a flood of applications
for concessions for the establishment
of irrigation work in different parts OF
the country. Many of these Spplica-
tons have been granted and the work
of carrying out the projects is in prog
ress. The fact that the law permits
the government to pay subsidy OF
$25 per acre for such land as may be
reclaimed makes it especially attrac-
tive to men who are seeking safe in

In produced by these conservative
methods. The work in conserving
these vast turpentine orchards of the
south has perhaps come in time to
stay the early destruction of yellow
pine forests threatened by years OF
careless management.
Experiments conducted by the Uni
ted States forest service at Ocilla,
Ga. and Green Cove Springs, Fla.
as well as definite and reliable data
received from operators throughout
the naval stores belt. have effectively
determined the great advantages of
the new methods over the old. Not
only has 1t been shown forcibly that
the conservative methods are of great
protection to the forests, but sufii-
cient data has been collected to show
that the increase in yield of both
turpentine and rosin by the new and
improved systems furnishes a strong
argument in favor of their use.
Reports from the states where na-
val stores are produced show that
where there is greater percentage
OF turpentine produced by improved
methods there is also greater yield.

age yield of turpentine per crop of

Speaking of editorial Aoppers
Mr.. Beck of the Holton Recorder
makes this timely observation: "a
number of editors in Kansas, who
hold postoffices or who want to,
have Topped over from the square
deal to the machine. When Roose-
welt, the head of the square deal
movement, was in power, and the
stand pat and machine politicians
were moving heaven, earth and the
other place to defeat the nomina-
ton of Taft these aspiring chaps
were more or less zealously against
the machine, but now they seem to
regard it as good policy to follow
the majority of Kansas congress
men in their flop over to the ma
chine. Well, it may be good pol
icy from their standpoint"

The biggest political sensation
witnessed in Kansas for many days
was the revokement of Robert
Stones appointment as assistant
attorney general in the depart
ment Of justice by President Taft
last week. The president appoint
ed Stone about a week before on
the recommendation of Governor
Stubs. The machine congress
men and Senator Curtis raised a
rough house at the national CAPT.
tol and the president revoked the
appointment. The incident is un-
important-only a little squabble
over public pie-but it goes to
prove what the political adversar-
les of Taft claimed during the
campaign-that he is a big bulky
Plaything in the hands of the poll
ticianS of the country without any
backbone or mind of his own.
