II found business fair In most oi

1.-The thing that impressed me the
most on my whole trip was what
saw at Billings, Mont. All the way
through northern Montana to a
point Just before I reached Billings,
the country was dried up and look
ed barren and uninviting. Sudden
ly the train bought us to the irri-
gated country around that town.
The change was almost magical. 1t

always been a booster for irrigation
in the Grants Pass country, but this
revelation opened my eyes as they
never had been before to the i'm
mense advantages that would accrue
to Grants Pass from irrigation" i"
Mr.. Kinney motored from Grants
Pass to Portland, where he left his
car and took the train to Billings,
where he spent few days with
friends. From there he went to st.
Louis and then on to Cleveland by
way of Chicago. At Cleveland he
secured a new 1911 model, six
cylinder, forty-eight horsepower
car. This car, says Mr.. Kinney, gave
the best of satisfaction and he was
not delayed a single day by break
downs of any kind.
From Cleveland he went through
Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, Worces-
ter and Springfield to Boston, where
two days were spent. From Boston
he went to Lowell and Concord to
st. Johnsbury, Vermont, Mr.. Kin
ney's home town. He spent two
pleasant weeks revisiting all the
familiar childhood scenes and in
making motor trips through the
White mountains and all over the
surrounding country.
Coming back they drove across
the Catskills and stopped at Wat
llins Glen at the foot of Lake Sene-
ca where the state of New York has
spent a large sum of money in beau
tifying land that has been set aside
as a state reservation. Mr.. Kinney
says that this is the most beautiful
spot he has ever seen,
From this point the homeward
journey took in Cleveland and Chic
ago and southern California, where
two weeks were spent.
Mr.. Kinney Is we'll satisfied with
his trip and states that he had the
most enjoyable time since he was
boy and that as a result of his va
cation he will be able to tackle the
problems of business with zest.

RICH AGRICULTURAL LANDS
ELIMINATED FROM FORESTS

Under a plan of cooperation out
lined by Secretaries Ballinger and
Wilson, and now being carried out
by the officials of the Interior de-
partment and department OF agricul-
tural, material areas of agricultural
land, as we'll as a considerable area
Of grazing land. is to be eliminated
from forest reserves and restored to
the public domain. Some of this
land has already been restored;
much greater area is expected to be
restored during the coming winter,
when reports on this summers field
work are collected and maps sub
mitted to the heads of the two de-
partments.
There seemingly is misunder-
standing in the minds of many as to
Just what Secretary Ballinger and
Secretary Wilson are undertaking to
do. Their purpose is simply to take
from forest reserves lands that are
not properly included in such re-
serves-lands that are not primarily
valuable for their timber, or as pro-
lection to water supply. In other
words, they are seeking to meet
strong objections that have been
raised against forest reserves in
times past, by removing one cause
of complaint
Neither Secretary Ballinger nor
Secretary Wilson is attempting to re-
duce the forest reserve area just for
the sake of making reductions, nor
does either official propose to elm
mate from reserves lands that are
valuable mainly for their timber. 1t
is only lands that are primarily
farming lands or lands suitable for
nothing but grazing that are to be
eliminated. Hence there is no
foundation for the report that the
secretary Of the interior Of the secre-
tary of agriculture is attempting to
open up more forest land for the
benefit of the timber trust, the Gin
terests," or any one else. It is not
timber land that is to be restored to
the public domain and to entry.
It is recognized by the officials of
both government departments that
it will not be practicable to elimin-
ate from forest reserves all agricul-
tural or all grazing lands that may
today be incurred Isolated tracts ly-
ing in the heart of reserve can not
we'll be eliminated, for such tracts
would be surrounded on all sides by
forest reserve and would only be ac-
cessible by crossing the reserved
lands.
Large areas of land of this char
acter, however, lying along the ex-
terror limits Of the reserves, and val
leys extending from the boundary.
into the heart of reserves, which are
accessible from the outside, are to
be eliminated as fast as the eXamin-
ations can be completed and pro-
clamations prepared for the presi-
dents signature. There are several
millions Of acres of such lands now
in the reserves, lands that would not
be included were the reserves to be
created today, but which were In
cluded in the first instance because
the boundaries as laid off were
carelessly drawn, or because the for

to gobble everything in sight,

Newest Decree of Form
for Dinner Table Service.

A little observation and attention to
detail will make it possible for every
woman to have her dinner table appear
and be served in accordance with the
newest DEGREES of form. Details of
service change as do shapes of gowns.
For example, soup spoons now are
placed at the right side of the plate
instead of, as formerly, at the top of
it. The dinner knife retains its old
place next to the plate, but the soup
spoon is parallel. Except when soup
plates are of extreme beauty they are
banished, cups with one handle at each
side being served instead. There are
soup or bouillon spoons which CORE
spond in size to the cups, those to be
used with plates being too large for
the smaller surface of cup.
Individual salt cellars are relegated
to limbo, probably on the theory that
all food is so well cooked that further
seasoning is not required. This being
more theoretical than true, large salt
cellars appear, and, be they of silver
or glass, they are more ornamental than
individual receptacles. Two are enough,
match in sets of two or four-may be
put on the table together, one at each
corner of the center, as it were. Salt
shakers are never seen now.
1t is no longer good form to have
more than three forks at a plate at
one time, If the meal is long course

dinner or luncheon, when more will be
required, they are brought in with the
service plate after the last one already
on the table has been used.
Even formal meals are so much
shorter than formerly, thanks, it is said
to the late King Edward, who disliked
to remain long at the table, so that
forks for only one or two courses must
be provided for afterward in this man
ner. When one or more are needed
they are put down together in their
proper place, and are not on the plate
which is brought.
An exception to this latter rule ap-
plies to desserts. Never is a dessert
fork or spoon now seen on the table
until they are brought on the individual
plates and placed, still on the plates, be-
fore each person. Also both fork and
spoon are used, not merely one, no mat
ter what form the sweet may take.
Equally also the finger bowls are not
on separate plates, to be brought in
later, but appear on the dessert plate,
which, when properly appointed, has
the finger bowl on a small dolly in the
center, with the fork on the left side
and the spoon on the right. the handles
toward the individual before whom they
are placed.
Every one at the table Immediately
removes the bowl and dolly, putting
them at the upper left of the table, and
then lays the spoon and fork by the
plate one at each side.

NEGLECT OF SKIN.

Wrinkles may be caused by neglect
of the skin as much as by illness Or
worry, and the latter is an infallible
short cut for having them. When a
woman worries, the muscles of her face
become tense, stretching the skin, which
goes into lines. As women viii worry
till the end of time, it is a wise one
who treats her complexion to ward off
wrinkles Water is drying to the natu-
raj oils of the skin, without which the
complexion viii not stay firm and fresh.
Wherefore a water bath morning and
night might be called sufficient, using
at other times such agents as viii be
strengthening as well as cleansing, a
combination by no means impossible to
have.
Such lotion made from sixteen
grains each of powdered olibanum, ben
zoin and gum arabic, twenty-four grains
of Jordon almonds powdered, six grains
of ground cloves, eight grains of ground
nutmeg and four ounces of deodoriZed
alcohol
The gum arabic, olibanum and ben
zoin are dissolved in the alcohol, the
Cloves, nutmeg anu dlulUuu previously
being mixed. The two mixtures are
combined. standing fer two days tightly
corked. and occasionally shaken. At
the end of two days three quarters of an
ounce of orange flower water is added
and the whole is poured through coarse
muslin to clear it.
This liquid may be used frequently
through the day, always letting the ap-
plication dry on. When used to cleanse,
the first application must be washed off,
putting on a second Immediately after
drying the skin.
Another, adapted to the same use, IS
made from onequarter Of an ounce of
oil of rosemary. one dram of oil of Law
ender, fifteen drops of oil of petigrain,
two drains of tincture of tolu two gilIs
of rosewater and three gills of rectifed

face.
