WITH a county superintendent of

L. McCullers, once elected to the POI
siticn at a $1,000 salary, but who de-
clined on the fixing of his salary at
$500 by the County Commissioners,
later appointed on a fee basis by DR..
w. S. Rankin, secretary of the state

recongnized by the county commits
sioners, the case now in court, was

Twelve hundred and fifty millions of
dollars was the estimated value of tim
Der at the point of manufacture in the
United States in 1909. In the manufac-
ture of timber nearly so per cent Of the
wood is wasted The Forest service OF
the United State Department of Agri-
culture maintains a laboratory in con-
nection with the Agricultural Expert
ment Station at Madison. The work OF
this laboratory is to experiment with
timbers to find ways of reducing this
waste and of using wood and its prod
ucts, so as to get the most service out
of them.
One very important part of this work
is the experiments with the various
wood preservatives and the best meth
DDS of applying them to the wood and
the best kinds of wood to apply them
showing the methods employed in the
experiments at the laboratory and the
results obtained, will be shown at the

DENY THE REPORT THAT

Washington, Dec. 81 Reports
from Chicago that John r. Walsh,

confinement, are not taken serious
~ at the department of justice. 1t
was said that the department has in
vestigated the reports of Walsh's
illness and has not been able to STU b.
stantiate them. One physician sent
to Leavenworth to make special in
quiry of the Walsh case reported
that the banker was actually getting
a needed rest in prison. Walsh is al
most within sight of the time when
he can be paroled-the department,
willing so that action in his case
at this time is unlikely.
