1.-THE white fuel, or electric current,
generated by the waterfalls Of the
Pacific northwest is another great
resource which should be used, but
not abused. Midway between these
sources of power and the lakes are
the vast Ignite fields of western Da-
kota. Ere long gas producers set up
adjacent to the great veins of Ignite

In all directions, at prices that will
transform life on the great plains.
The New Sectionalism.
Now. In conclusion, think not that

that old-fashioned sectionalism which
seeks to array one part of our COM

such q traitor to my country as to
even appear to either arouse class
against class, or section against Sec
ton.
But l do stand for the new Sec
tionalism which strives to be more
and to do moro for the nation! Not
how much can We get from the fed
eral treasury, but how may we so
promote the American northwest that
1t shall more literally give to the
federal treasury and to the national
strength! For how true 1t is, as the

er matters pertaining to the common
welfare.
But let each state stand on its

to do so usually means to receive q
torrent of criticisms for acts and
even utilization Of motives which are
often as cruel as they are unjust.
The full force of this remark will be
better appreciated when you realize
that it is made by an editor than
whom none have been more unspar-
ing in exposure or denunciation Of
wrong-doing in our public servants,
irrespective of party and fearless Of
position.
Here a word about conservation:
Conservation Implies Right Use.
"This is short definition to which
all may agree. There should be
equal agreement that the greatest of
all natural resources are those in
herent in man. He must conserve
his health Of body, mind and soul,
and train their functions so that he
may best serve himself, his family
and society.
when it comes to the resources Of
soil. forests, waters and minerals,
here again wisdom should be en-
ployed. Just remember that wisdom
Is knowledge aud the capacity to use
It.. The science Of conservation is to
know our natural resources; the art
Of conservation is to employ those re-
sources so as to minister to the pres
ent, while not wasting these resource
es for future generations.
eve have to use great quantities Of
coal for light, heat and power. but
herein lies one of the greatest wastes.
Probably not more than five per cent
of the energy In the coal you burn in
S,,~n &c to-
supplied TO- your house. Steam en-
gines with ordinary boiler equipment
transmit to the shaft by betting only
seven to eight per cent Of the energy
in coal. This proportion rises to ten
or twelve per cent in electrical equip
ments. or to seventeen per cent IL the
steam turbine 10 utilized. But by
generating current by means of big
gas engines. fed by gas producers,
twenty-five per cent Of the Goals
energy Is secured.
THE great loss in energy Is partly
due to imperfect combustion of coal,
which 10 partly expressed in smoke.
Smoke coming out Of chimney
means that money is being burned
up. Automatic stokers and other de-
vices for the prevention of smoke are
now so perfected that no plant of
fifty-horse power or more can afford
smoke. Smoke consumers will save
at least one-tenth Of your coal bill
every day. Ten per cent saving in
from one to two or three years will
pay the cost Of installing the stokers,
depending upon the size of the plant.
After that. the ten per cent saved IL
net in cash.
"The damage to property and
health due to smoke and imperfect
combustion of fuel is vastly greater
and cannot be measured in dollars
and cents.

Idaho or from the indescribable va
riety and magnitude Of Oregon and

But would emphasize that, with
out interfering in the slightest with

Davis Of that state, which congress
has got to enact. making liberal ap-
preparations to the respective states
for the new education. The highest
type Of craftsmanship Is embodied in
that measure, because the finest poll
cy that national or state legislatures
can promote Is that which fosters
constructive education.
This bill, like many other good
things, originated In some Of the
minds at the University Of Minne-
sofa. Many of it's details have been
perfected by Willett M. Hays, former
~ director of the Minnesota expert
ment station and now United States
assistant secretary Of agriculture.
This measure has also received the
collaboration of many other minds,
including ny own. Let the Ameri-
can northwest insist upon the enact
ment by congress Of the Davis bill
as an expression Of the northwest's
constructive policy.
The Northwest's Constructive Policy.
"A cardinal feature Of our broad
constructive policy should be to in
sfst that this nation shall devote less
money to war and more money to
education.
1T Is q crime that in this year of
grace, 1911, out of every dollar spent
by Uncle Sam. something like 20
cents goes for war, past. present or
future! One voice from Minnesota
has rung out in clarion tones against

his enduring service in protesting
against the unrishteousness and

And here let ME say that no small
factor in the evolution OF the Ameri-
can northwest will be the men that
this section sends to the United

Tribute to the Teacher
"The foundation for permanent inn
proyement along right lines in edu-
cation rests with the teacher. You
must train teachers In agriculture,
the mechanic arts. the domestic SCI
ences and the principles Of mammal
training. We, the American people,
take great pride in our school system,
but too often, although unconscious.
ly, this pride takes the form of salts
faction with the size. cost and equip
ment Of our schoolhouses, rather than
in the training and equipment of the
teacher.
yet no one can even touch upon
this subject without recognizing the
Overwhelming debt this nation owes to
the patriotic devotion Of our school
teachers. Too often they are the,
worst paid and the least fully appre-
ciated Of our public servants. where
as they should receive hrst consider
alton In social. religious, civic and
financial circles.

ENTHUSIASM
PREDICTED FOR FLOWER
PUZZLE OF THIS WEEK

predict that this week will equal the
most successful week ever known to
puzzledom.
In the first place, flowers are loved in
every home. by both the children and the
adult members of every family.
In the second place, the puzzle is not
in the least difficult, which will, in a
measure, make UP to those who found
the places I'm and around Washington
given last week such a difficult subject
for solution.
There has been for several weeks such
a general request for another flower puZ-
zle that there was no denying the appeal.
In fact. the last contest had hardly
closed before puzzlers called me up on
the phone to beg some information con-
cerning the work planned for this week,
and when told that they must walt until
Sunday for the announcement they said
that they would be quite satisfied to do
so If l would but assure them that we
would spend the week among flowers.
Countries Suggest Flowers.
Each of the twenty-five interrogations
contained in the new puzzle makes one
think Of some particular flower. suggest
ed by either the name of a country or
the memory OF great man.
The flower which answers each ques-
ton is representative Of the man or coun-
try given, and to the average reader will
prove an easy recollection.
Just put on your thinking cap for
moment and the trick of solution will be
readily accomplished.
The time of the receipt Of each solution
TO puzzle is marked on IT as soon as 1t
reaches The washington Herald Office,
and lists are considered in this order, so
that, when II happens that there are
more than three correct solutions of
puzzle, the first three correct ones re-
ceived are awarded the prizes.
Prize Awards.
Three dollars is the first prize and two
dollars the second.
These two prizes are given adults only.
The third prize of 81 is reserved for the
children who have become a most en-
thusiastc part OF the puzzle work within
recent weeks.

that my wife was as Indifferent to me as
l was to her; that she had passed into
another world OF new interests with
which I was as unfamiliar as she was

have had everything in common, had
nothing in common. And was desolate.

burned themselves out, as they are bound
TO do, we should have something to fall
back upon. l should talk to her Of her
interests. and try to enter into them,
just as ! should try to make her a real
partner in my own affairs
Il should make her feel every hour Of
the day that she was the chief thing in
my life. and that nothing she did was
too little, or unimportant to be OF con-
Germ to me. I should take the time to
tell her of my love, to go with her to
the places she enjoyed. and I should sur
round her with a tenderness that never
failed. If did all this, no doubt 1 should
be able TO give her less money and less
of the things money buys, but l do not
think that she would care
If 1 could go back and live over my
married life again l would neglect my

lieve that if l did I should not find my

FRUIT FOLIAGE Is
POPULAR TRIMMING
On the Advance Models OF
Fall Hats.

Now that fruit is one of the most pop
ular forms of hat trimming. we have
gone in for foliage extensively. The
new kind is made of black velvet.
The oak leaf Is quite fashionable; also
the wide leaves of fruit trees. The vel
vet used is rather thin, and Is applied
to green or black rubber stems.
1t is often used to trim a hat without
the addition of anything else. 1t is es-
pecially effective on all white hats, as
the magpie combination does not de-
crease in popularity as the season rolls
on. In truth, 1t is more in evidence than
ever. ....
Black and white stripes. black hats
with white crowns, and the other way
around. white lingerie frockss trimmed
with black velvet bands. white and black
parasols, white stockings with black
shoes are some of the many ways In
which the two colors are mingled.
The latter fashion is one OF the most
difiicult to accept. and there Is no telling
whether or not it will become popular.
One would have said that the black
velvet slipper would never be chosen for
the street. and yet II was taken up by
the masses more than any slipper that
has been offered for years. There Is
never any telling when the public will
take q fashion IN its mouth like bit
and run away.
