WATERFOWL, N. Y, Nov. 19.-Gov-
Elect John A. Dix, in communica-
ton to the Empire State Forest Prod

banquet Thursday evening, declared
himself in favor of water storage
and the conservation of the states
natural resources. Some 100 practi-
cal woodsmen from all over the state
were present.
Water storage Is the great issue In
Northern New York today. When Mr.
Stimson was here campaigning he
was overwhelmed with requests to
state his position upon the question
by mill owners as we'll as employees.
Black River and other streams OF the
north are dwindling each summer to
little more than brooks and mills
have long been idle.
There is special Importance at
tached to a forceful movement of this
kind" Mr.. Dix wrote, wherein men
are keen in the perpetuation of such
priceless treasures as our forests and
I
hydraulic energy within our very
reach which for years have been both
carelessly and wastefully used.
Future generations will speak Of
this generation as most pronigate and
sadly lacking in wisdom. BY intelli

yes, we can, in some degree restore
this waste by preventing furthel

action as your association has inaug

STAGING A DAY DREAM
How THE River ON Souls" Was
Conceived

The Darling of the Gods was
marvel in stage production yet as a
pictorial producer, and the greatest,
Belasco never came nearer to defeat
than when he attempted to stage "The
River OF Souls" scene In this piece
And yet in its final accomplishment,
this scene was the most artistic thing
he ever achieved.
In his own mind the scene was
childs play-it seemed so simple;
but when it came TO the stress and
practical details of the last dress re-
hearsals in Washington, D. c., which
had become the producing place of
the Belasco dramas after the success
OF "Zaza," he realized for the first
time the almost insurmountable diff
ficulties of trying to stage a day
dream. This is the scene in which
thousand years in the Japanese pur-
gatory, goes to her tryst with her low
er, Prince Kara and cries, while crop
ing through the waters OF the Japan
ese Styx with the bells blazing in the
background, Which is the way to
heaven"
Thousands of dollars had been
spent in devising harnesses and
swinging effects for the supernumer-
aries who were to represent the hun
dreds of lost souls; but when 1t came
to rehearsing the scene the effect was
so conventional that Belasco threw
up his hands in disgust.
GO on with the final scenel" he
shouted. 1--WE will have to cut this
out until we get to New York. It't
rotten"
Just at that moment a carpenter II

lacross the stage between two of ths
gauzes with which the stage was en-
tirely hung. The lights from the rea
OF the stage suddenly threw shadow

called out Belasco and then, as h.
realized what II meant, he exclaimed
Good Lord! Here I've spent six thou
sand dollars trying to get an effec
which ought not to have cost me ST
cents"
The girls were taken out OF thei
harness and after a few instructions
Belasco's day dream became a Twin
nightmare This scene-"The Rive
of Souls"-was the "spookiest" eve
given! 1t was the most artistic seer

disappointed and the federal rela-

A good cockerel may be bough
cheaper now than later on.
To raise pigeons for profit, yo,
should keep them confined.
Some hens are liars. They don't
always lay an egg when they cackle.
Stock selection plays an importan,
part in successful chicken raising.
Poultry need sunlight and fresh air
as much as the plants in the field.
Lack of grit causes more sickness
among pigeons than poor feed or ex,

The common inverted V-shaped
coop is the best for confirming hen and
chickens.
A safe, simple tonic for pigeons is
made by placing piece of gentian
root in the drinking water.
Some hens are regular gad-abouts
ant, unless they are confined, will
walk their chickens to death.
If the soil in the poultry yard is not
of a sandy or loose nature, dust baths
must be provided.
Poultry neglected during the warm
months will be slow at going into
profit in the fall and winter.
The hen that does all her laying
during the summer had best be dis.

to recognize her husband when he ar
rived. Slight hope is entertained tor
her recovery.
Truitt was in Blackfoot when ad-
vised of his wifes illness. On Mon

of teams ready to take him to Challis

he met G. W. Ellis, who had started
from Mackay at midnight with the

Hansen had owned for II years. He
made the 10 miles to Dickey in 80

Sir: In view of the extent to which
the practice of placing loose coins in

posed on rural carrier incident there
to, you are informed that, commenc-
ing February Is, proximo, rural let
ter carriers will not be req ired to
collect loose coins from rural mail

be easily and quickly taken from
boxes, and carriers will be required
to lift such coins, and, where accom-
panied by mail for dispatch, attach
