Scores of persons have been injured.
Shipping suffered heavily, and it is
reported that many small craft have

On the land the .wInd blew with
such force as to uproot buildings and
toss them about like a cyclone.
Details SO far received tell of a
monster wave that swept far inland,
adding greatly to the havoc.
While Gran Canaris is declared in
the first reports to have been the prin-
cipal sufferer, it is believed that the
other islands were also victims of the
storm and wave. and towns may have
been destroyed.

Lawyers are discussing the legal
questions involved in journeying over

Customs officials are exercised over
the dilemas which will confront them

How aeronauts are to determine

another question which is receiving

Uncle Sam Goes to Logging.

An important work which the gov
eminent will undertake will be the
logging and manufacturing into lum-
Der of several billion feet of dead
timber on national forest reserves and
private holdings in Northern Idaho,
Western Montana and Eastern Wash
ington. This work will begin early
this fan, giving employment to from
1000 to 5000 men. The Western Pine
Manufacturers association, at a recent
meeting called to consider the best
means of dealing with the situation in
the burned districts, adopted resolu-
lions urging saw-mill owners and
manufacturers to direct every effort
to save the killed timber, also to as
sist the government and timber hold
ers not owning mills in handling the
product of the fire swept forests.
This is one more evidence of nation
al and private progress in the work
of conserving long wasted resources
of the United States. The govern
ment and private concerns now real
lze that, if properly manufactured,
| this lumber which would have been
dead waste in years gone by is now
worth millions of dollars and will pro-
vide well-paid employment, for thou
sands of men, for many months to
come. But the most intelligent COOP

| eminent and private interests, and
each must do his share to make prac-
teal conservation a success.

Crops and Business.

From reports gathered in all sec
tions of the country. it is shown that
Uncle Sans family is in position to
enjoy one of the most prosperous
years in business that was ever
known. Bounteous crops cannot help
but have a stimulating effect upon all
branches of business and industry. If
the crop experts and trade reviewers
are correct in their deductions, BUSH
ness men may go ahead with plans
with the feeling that they will enjoy
a good year. and every branch of
business should profit by the prosper
ity in store for us. There is a well
defined feeling of confidence as to the
future, and belief in most circles
that, following the November cleo
tons, our industries will move toward
a higher plane of activity. Already
there is an improvement at distribute
ing centres. due in part to the in
creased marketing of crops. An indi-
cation of coming betterment in the
general situation is found in a larger
inquiry for railroad mortgage issues.

From east and west, north and
south come glowing reports of boun-
tiful crops. In only a few sections of
the country has there been any falling
off in the excellent yield for the last
five or six years. In the Middle West
and Northwest, crops have turned
out far better than was anticipated
earlier in the year. In every
state the crops have averaged
well. In some sections certain
crops have fallen below that deficien-
cy has been more than made up by
the abundance of others. There is a
bumper crop of corn all over the
country. Wheat is holding it's own,
and in many sections oats have brok-
en- local records. Hay is steady and
of a good quality because of marked
deficiency of rainfall at harvest time.

this result or little common sense.
The points to be considered in planning
kennel buildings are drainage, protec-
ton, food and water and room for exer-
else. The south side of a gently sloping
hill offers the best site. Damp holiows
must be avoided as a pestilence, and If
the yards are not covered with concrete
the less shade therein the better. for the
sun itself is one of the best eradicators
of disease germs.
The shape of the buildings matters lit

is we'll to build simple wooden structure,
holding five or six stalls, each with a
door opening upon an inner passage, a
wired window for light and air, and a
small exit into the outer yard. The con-
struction of one stall will serve as the
model for many. 1t should be as large

Cleanliness is always the thing. Let
the whitewash brush and the dsnfect-

absence of litter, and provide fresh wa

troubles will vanish. Dogs, as do men,
thrive best under the nearest possible
approach to normal conditions. They
need little luxury, and are better without
