Improved Methods Of Tur-
pentininG Bring Results

IN this table as a basis for comparing
the results OF the new methods with
the results OF the old system Of cut
ting the destructive boxes In the trees,
some allowance should be made for
the difference in quality Of timber as
well as the age Of the industry in the
States given. The timber In Texas
and Louisiana Is considered superior
20 that In Georgia and Florida and
the industry Is not so old in the two
Western States. But the improved
conditions under which turpentine and
rosin are manufactured In Texas and
Louisiana will not account for more
than one-fOurth OF the increase In
yield
To demonstrate more fully that the
use OF improved methods Is largely
responsible for the remarkable In
crease shown. the reports from two Of
the large establishments In Texas. one
using the cup and apron system and
the other cutting boxes into the tree,
are compared. The establishment US
Ing the cup and apron system report
ed a yield Of 1879 barrels OF turpen-
tine for 20 crops. as against a yield
OF 1900 barrels Of turpentine for IS
crops where the old methods were
employed, $50 casks per crop for the
cup and apron system as against AS
for boxes.
Both companies were operating for
the first year and timber and weather
conditions were practically the same.
The two establishments reporting
these figures employ a high standard
OF business methods and the figures
given are reliable. Forty-two barrels
IL considered a fair average yield for
the first year the trees are BLEED 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
90 converting them into lumber
These companies have carefully aud
systematically studied both methods
OF tuFpentinlng and the fact that the
new methods are more generally IN
use In those States indicates their ad.
NantaEe over the old.

RAT CLUBS MAY BECOME
POPULAR IN WASHINGTON
[speeial to The sentinel.l

Washington, Sept. 9.-Rat clubs
and other societies for systematic
warfare on destructive rodents may
leap into popular favor among house
keepers now that the government has
officially sanctioned this method for
determination of the worst mammal
pest in the United States
The rat has been recognized by
the government as problem. Its
activity in dissemination of infectious
diseases has long loomed up as a
danger signal to the health authori7
ties and losses from its depredations
run into many millions of dollars a
year, according to an official state
ment Just issued by the department
of agriculture
: DIR. David Il. Lantz, of the bureau
of biological survey, has taken Wig
orous hold of the question and thus
he proceeds to throw a bomb into the
camp of believers of the cat as a rat
catcher:
However valuable cats may be as
mousers, few of them learn to catch
rats The ordinary house cat is too
well fed and consequently too lazy to
undertake the capture of an animal
as formidable as the brown rat
Rats have developed so much in
telligence and such extraordinary
caution that attempts to exterminate
them have rarely succeeded. The
failures have been due not so much
to lack of effective methods as to a
lack of certain precautions and alb
sence of concerted action"
The department in a bulletin. en-
phasizes the Importance of rat clubs
and suggests that interest in organ
lied rat hunts may be stimulated by
offering prizes or rewards in various
communities for the greatest num-
ber of dead rats

superintendent of the Colorado Chill

been very successful in this work for
the past seven years.
This child rescue and home finding
society placed over so children in
good homes during the past year, and
over 500 during the past ! . years, at
an average total cost of S75 for every

The Colorado Children's Home So
ciety is not an orphanage, although
it has a receiving home where there
is trained nurse and an assistant
for temporarily taking care of the
babies until they are adopted. The
fundamental principle of this society
is that every child should have 4
home and mother. and not grow up
in an institution.
Contributions of money, baby

BILLY SUNDAY TALKS
AT BOULDER ON FAITH

"Billy' Sunday has things
going his way mt Boulder. The
Boulder papers are filled with
his sayings and doings and thou
sands of people are hearing him
every day. Faith WAS the
theme On which Sunday preach
ed on Saturday afternoon. The
following is "A small portion of
the Boulder Herald's review OF
the sermon:
God has drawn blank check on
the bank of heaven and signed it.
You are to fill it in for any amount
you may desire said Mr. Sunday
He said that every miracle Christ
performed was occasioned by the
faith of some individual. Its the
same spirit, the same God, the same
Christ. today as it was then. If We
had as much faith we'd see as many
miracles.
He compared faith to the trolley
on a car, saying it is the means by
which power comes to make lis go
for God. You don't need to know
all about electricity before you take
a ride, do you?"
Faith is Just as unchanging as
sunshine and not one of us today but
can be mountain movers" He told
the stories of some remarkable eX-
amples of faith that have surprised
the world.
Some shots were taken at the big
cities. IF you've got a heresy to
propagate go down to Boston and
begin to spew it out and you1l get
a hearing The wicke eldest city in the
IfnitaI and tha
approaching a pagan city is San
Francisco. The trouble was with the
old forty-niners. The wrong crowd
got there first You can't make me
believe God didn't shake that com
munity."
He cried out against the women
who have gone "daffy" over their
clubs and literary societies and lodge
meetings. He explained that "daffy
means dippy, dippy means bughouse'
and everybody roared.
Mr.. Sunday urged good old-fash-
ioned lickings for boys and girls who
need punishment. He urged that
they be busted on both hemispheres.
ii they need it"
Silly women were also flayed for
neglecting their children and a story
told of a COW who kept it's eyes on it's
calf being driven in the wagon ahead
of it. Some of you women haven't
got as much sense as cow" came
the lesson with lightning swiftness.
Tell me what people you keep
company with where you go to
amuse yourselves. what you read. and
I'll write a perfect book on your
home he said another time.
And at the close of a remarkable
ioratorical effort when the people
were keyed up to the highest point
B. ID. Ackley at the piano struck
chord and Fred. Fischer started the
choir in the familiar strains of
Home Sweet Home" and the audi
ence Joined in for the first verse.
Then Sunday prayed his greatest
prayer since he has been in Boulder.
He prayed for better homes, for bet
ter boys and girls, better mothers
and fathers. He prayed for the
mothers who watch for wayward
children, asked that God should bless
the woman who wears widows
weeds, the travelling man who seldom
sees his home and his little brood.
The big audience slowly left the
tabernacle nightly impressed with
the sermon. which was far and away
the strongest Mr. Sunday has yet
preached in Boulder.
