dar is most expensive. at an average
of 26 "a cents each, and willow the
cheapest. at 6 cents.
Taking into consideration the time

conclusion must be drawn that the
Usage orange post is the most econom-
ical in Iowa, followed by white oak,
locust. catalpa red cedar, black wal
nut, butternut, willow, white cedar and
red oak, in the order named.
Comparatively few posts of some Of
these woods are used. Catalpa and
butternut together do not constitute
per cent, while white oak exceeds 40
per cent. From white OAK, the high
est, the numbers used range down in
the following order White cedar.
Usage orange. red cedar, willow, black
walnut, locust, butternut and catalpa.
A few posts are cut from other woods.
Nearly or quite ofe-half of all the
posts were round indicating that most
of the trees cut were too small to
split
The low place attained by black
walnut and butternut. generally rated
high in lasting properties. is probably
due TO the fact that the poses were
round and small, and therefore large
ly sapwood. which decays quickly. The
life of such posts would be much ex-
tended by giving them preservative
treatment. Preservatiye treatment in
creases the life. of all wooden posts
and more than doubles she period of
usefulness of those which are mostly
sapwood. The s2.OOO.O00 spent yearly

known methods of wood preservation
II costs much less TO treat pos. than
to buy a new one and set il in the

TENNESSEE DEMOCRATS.
Patterson's Withdrawal Does Not
Change Situation.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. l3.-Reports
from over the state today indicate that
the withdrawal of Governor Patterson
from the race for governor has had
no effect on the attitude of the indie
pendents in the pending campaign.
From the leaders of that faction all
over the state comes word that they
will stand by the program. which con-
templates the Endorsement of b. w.
Hooper. republican nominee for gov
ernor. In Memphis there is reported
some disposition to accept the offer
of the opportunity to harmonize. The
same is true in Rutherford and Madi-
son counties. None OF the three coun-
ties mentioned has instructed its dele
gates to Wednesdays convention to
vote for Hooper's Endorsement. Else
where in the state, according to re-
ports. the governors action has devel-
oped no material changes.
Patterson people generally over len
nessee applaud the governors course
as prompted by self-sacrifcing pa
triotism. On the other hand, the in
dependents consider his withdrawal an
effort TO complicate the situation on
the eve of their state convention at
least.

sufficiently punished, and asked his
release, which was granted today.
The father wrote Governor Hadley
the following in making the request
for parole

FARMER LOST MULES
IN SMOOTH CAME
Slick Young Man with Twenty DOL
lars Turned Trick and Now the
Officers Are Looking for Him.

Corsicana, Texas, Sept ia few
days ago young man appeared In
the Barry community, twelve miles
west of here, and employed farmer
who had very fine span of mules
to go with him to Ennis to do large
amount of hauling he wanted done
there. On the way to Ennis the young
fellow offered the farmer $500 for his
span OF mules and the latter agreed
to take 1t. The purchaser paid the
farmer $50 down to close the trade and
told him that he would have to go
with him to Fort Worth to get the
remainder OF the purchase price. To
this the farmer agreed and when they
reached Ennis the mules were left at
wagon yard and the two men took
Houston and Texas Central train for
Fort Worth Arriving there. they ate
supper and the young fellow left the
farmer at the hotel until he could go
to the stock yards and get his money.
Instead of going to the stock yards the
young man took an interurban to Dali
las and from there returned to Ennis
over the Houston and Texas Central
railroad and sold the mules to stock
buyer there for $500 cash and disap-
peared. The farmer remained at the
hotel all night and all next day await
ing the return of the young man. and
then returned to Ennis TO learn that
the young fellow had returned, sold
the mules and skipped.
Officers of Ellis county are now try
ing to find some trace of the young
man and the farmer is preparing to
institute legal proceedings in an effort
to recover his mules.

INFORMATION ABOUT
FENCE POSTS
Kinds Of Timber Used and Relative
purability--Mueh Money May Be
Saved by Preservative
Treatment.

Washington, Sept. lS.-The United
States department of agriculture esti-
mates that the farmers of the single
state of Iowa use every year 81, O0.O00
wortlnof new fence posts, which cost
the equivalent Of 100000 for setting
them in the ground. Further, the de-
partment officials believe that a part
of this expenditure might be saved.
The opportunity for economy is
found, first, in using the kinds OF pos :
which, taking into account both cos.
and durability. are cheapest in the
long run; and, secondly, by treating
the posts TO prevent decay. particular
ly those which decay most quickly.
When farmer sets a post which Will
have comparatively short life, he
loses not only through having TO buy
a new post. but also because of the ad-
dtlonal labor iny<lved in setting 1t.
