MUSICAL ROMANCE
IN BURLINGTON
Miss Ruth sokenkamp, Talented
Young Musician Who is Known
by keokuk People, to Wed.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Burlington
is losing an amazing number of really
talented musicians, of late. The very
latest is Miss Ruth Bokenkamp.
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Bahenkamp, of 1914 Angular street,
who goes to the Isle of Guam. where
she is to we'd DR.. George B. Grow.
who is surgeon in the United States
navy, stationed on the island. Know
anything about Guam? 1t is a coal
ing station in the Pacific ocean 1000
miles northeast of the Philippines
and we acquired it at the time that
the islands were annexed. 1t is about
thirty miles long by several miles
wide. and there are some 1900 eau
cassians and los of yellow and brown
mixed folks. The climate is hot but
healthy.
Miss Ruth Bokenkamp is a Burling-
ton girl, a graduate of the Burlington
high school, young woman who
seemed to have great future in music.
She is not merely used with good
looks, but she his a beautiful chaTac-
ter and the surgeon on the Isle of
Guam has indeed drawn a prize in
loves lottery. She was organist at
Grace church, a piano player of rare
Skill and teacher who was very sue
cessful. In addition to her other
duties, she had assumed that of choir
leader at Grace NJ e. church. She
had studied music very thoroughly
under Prof. Sheet and other compel
ent instructors, a | was an admirable
interpreter of classical music and one
of the very best accompanies in the
city. She had refused offers of fine
positions, where part of her work
would have consisted in voice culture.
She was highly esteemed in wide cir
Giles and there will be the best of
wishes for her wherever she was
known. She leaves for Denver Thurs
day. accompanied by her brother Mar
vim AT Denver, she will meet Lieu
tenant and Mrs. Kerr. of the army,
who are going to Guam, and she will
make the journey in their company.

SAW MILL WASTE
IN THE COUNTRY
Government Finds it Reaches I'M.
mense Proportions-Big Loss on
Way to Consumer.

The U. S. department of agriculture
in connection with study of the
wocd-using industries OF various
states is learning what part of the
rought lumber output of our American
saw mills passes through second
process of manufacture before it is
ready for tie consumer. The study
is regarded as having an important
bearing on the extent to which more
economical use of Our forest resources
can be brought about. So far the re-
suits obtained show that more than
five-eighths of the rough lumber sawed
is to be counted as tee raw material
for other industries which convert it
into more highly finished and more
valuable product.
In the United States waste in the
woods, the mill, and the factory is so
great that two thirds of what was in
tie tree is lost on the way to the
consumer. The heaviest part of this
loss takes place in the saw mills. Much
of this mill waste is unavoidable under
present conditions, but the greater the
demand for the product and the high
er its value, the better will economy
pay. Waste in manufacture is very
small compared with that at the saw
mill. Study of the demands of the
wood-using industries may be a means
of finding out how the mill may profit
ably market part of what now goes
to the burner in sawdust, slabs, and
trimmings.
Statistics of Massachusetts, May
land, North Carolina and Wisconsin,
lately gathered by the department of
agriculture in cooperation with these
states, SLOW that ef their total saw
mill output SO per cent is used in the
form OF rough lumber and 81 per cent
is manufactured into other forms of
output. If the same ratio holds for
the entire country as for these states,
about thirteen billion feet of lumber
are used yearly in rough form and
231a billion feet is further manufac-
tured
