Parks Being LmproV I'd.

The state forestry board has already
started it's work of improving the
state parks. The last legislature
passed a law placing the duties of
improving the parks owned by the
state upon the park board. State
Forester E. M. Griffith has just re-
turned from a visit to the parks and
in three of the parks he has already
placed crew Of men to blaze tlalS.
and improve the roads.
The last legislature appropriated
$4,000, available March l, 1914, for
the improvement Of the Peninsular
park in Door county. This park is
composed of $500 acres and forest
ranger with crew of five men have
been placed at work in making i'm
provements. Practically the same
work is being done at the state park
at DEVILS lake. This park is COM
posed of 1,04O acres of land and the
legislature has made an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for improvements. A
crew of five men is now at work in
this park.
Senator Glenn is looking after the
Glenn park at the junction of the
Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers un-
til O. forest ranger and crew can
be put to work This park is COM
posed of 1000 acres and an appro-
priation Of $4,000 has been made for
improvements.
On October 1, a ranger and crew will
be put at work in the interstate park
at the dells of the st. Croix. This
park is composed of 700 acres of
which $50 acres are on the Wiscon-
sin side of the river. The appropri-
alton for this park was only $4,000.
because previous legislatures had
made appropriations for improve
ments.
No appropriation was made for
improvements of the Brue river park
in Douglas county, bug the work can
be carried on under the forestry re-
serve law. This park occupies 5000
acres of which $500 acres were
given to the state by F. E. Weyer
haeuser of st. Paul.
wisconsin has a wonderful sys-
tenn of parks said Mr.. Griffith. "The
last legislature gave the work of i'm
proving these parks to the state for
estry board. Surveys of the parks are
being made. trails are being laid out
and the roads are being improved. We
are also selecting camp sites and in
another year will be able to accommo
date those who desire to take vaca-
ton on the beautiful park lands"

GROWING STRONGER
Apparently, with Advancing Age.

'At the age of so years 1 collapsed
from excessive coffee drinking" writes
a man in Mo. For four years sham
bIed about with the aid of crutches or
cane, most of the time unable to
dress myself without help.
MY feet were greatly swollen, my
right arm was shrunken and twisted
inward, the fingers of my right hand
tended except with great effort and
than temporary relief.
Now, during all this time and for
about 80 years previously, l drank
daily an average of cups of strong
coffee-rarely missing meal.
My wife at last took my case into
her own hands and bought some
Postum. She made it according to di.
rections and / liked it fully as well
as the best high-grade coffee.
Improvement set in at once. In
about months I began to work lit
tie, and in less than year / was very
much better, improving rapidly from
day to day. I am now in far better
health than most men of my years
and apparently growing stronger with
advancing age.
Il am busy every day at some kind
of work and am able to keep up with
the procession without cane. The
arm and hand that were once almost
useless, now keep far ahead in rapidity
of movement and beauty of penman-
ship.
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for copy of the lit
tie book, THE Road to MELVILLE
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well boiled
instant Postum is soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup of hot water and, with the add
ton of cream and sugar, makes a de-
icious beverage instantly.
There's a reason" for Postum.

NEW MEXICO HAS AN

Republican. In the Ration field, which
furnished about Is per cent of the produc-
tion in 1912. the coal is true coking coal
and most of the operations are conducted
on an extensive scale. In 1912 there were
II mines that produced each over 100, ,0O0
tons, and two of these produced over 400,
900 tons. Nearly $4,000 tons of coal was
made into coke.

them over 100000 tons.

That Oklahoma Booze

Prof L.. J.. Dyche received n very pc
cuiar shipment from a man at Guymon,
Okla, in which we're six OF the most pc
cuiar animals that Mr.. Dyche or any
other man of science has ever seen. The
sender of the animal shipment does not
know what they are. but knows that he
caught them close to Guymon and does
want to know what they are, says a
Pratt. Kansas, special to The New York
Sun.
They are seemingly young and are
about four inches in length, having a
head like a catfish and a tail like a
channel cat. with a row of feelers around
the back of the head similar to the hair
on a buffalo. They have four legs pro-
truding from the sides of the body well
separated from each other and the legs
resemble the legs of frog.
They are very lively and live under
water as well as out of water for a
sort time. When agitated they make a
peculiar noise. similar to a grunt or a
tiny bark.
They are creating no small amount of
interest here by those who have seen
them Some old pioneers say that they
resemble to some extent the little water
puppies that formerly habitated the
open wells when this country was first
settled. but are different. as they have
fins protruding from the back and from
the top OF the head.

DECLINE IN PRICES
IN CLOSING HOUR
More Than | 900, 900 Bushels
of Wheat Thrown on
the Market

Chicago, September 20--More than 10O0-
ooo bushels of wheat suddenly thrown on
the market in the last hour today by a
few leading houses caused a decline in
prices. Prospects of a large increase in
the visible supply Monday was said to
have influenced selling. The close was
weak. s4@1c under last night Corn
dropped 1sc to A@ssc; oats. ssdshc to
&c. and provisions 21sQ121zc.
Isiling up of wheat stocks northwest
prepared the way for the setback in
wheat The receipts there, though below
last years big aggregate. were heavy not
withstanding. They were brought into
sharper notice because of the outlook for
a greater accumulation. Manitoba ship
ments had monopolized the export outlet,
there being but little domestic milling de-
mand.
Firmness of cables tended to sustain the
market until selling became aggressive.
More rains, favoring seed operations In
the winter crop belt, however, acted as a
check on the bulls.
When wheat declined, corn prices fiat
tened out. Previously the market had
shown strength, owing to wet weather,
which was expected to delay farmers
deliveries. There was reason, however,
to believe that the elevator companies re-
Gently have been making contract corn on
a large scale.
Early firmness of oats gave way to the
general weakness of other grain. Many
week end longs sold out.
Provisions, after holding steady most
of the day, showed moderate depression.

COTTON MARKET
HAS ACTIVE DAY
Prices Make New High Rec
Ords for SeasOn-Gen-
eral Buying

New York, September 2O.-The cotton
market was active and more or less ex-
cited during todays trading. with prices
making new high records for the season
and general buying. December contracts
sold up to 1s.46c, or 6 points above the
previous best level and approximately 81
per bale above the price of last week.
There was naturally heavy realizing on
this advance to pay the 1Si2c level, but
offerings were we'll absorbed, and the
close was steady at net advance of 12
to 16 points.
There was a big demand for the opening
owing to high Liverpool cables. unfav-
orable Weather in the south, continued
Texas, exporters were laying down. on
some of their contracts for forward ship
ment. Private advices, attributed the ad-
vance In Liverpool to covering against
these developments in the southwest, and
the local market steadied at an advance
to to points. Sold out longs appeared
to be placing part OF their cotton, while
there was covering by recent sellers for
a reaction, fresh bull support and fur
ther trade buying.
L Profit taking caused some irregularity,
Tbut the general tendency of the market
was upward. until active months showed
net gains of from is to 20 points. Closing
prices were 8 points off from the
best under realizing with the late months
relatively firm. The forecast pointed to
continued wet weather in the eastern
belt, which has been sending In more
numerous reports of crop damage re-
Gently, while the forecast was for lower
temperatures west of the river. and New
Orleans wires claimed that storm warn
ings had been ordered for the Texas
coast.
The reports from Liverpool that Texas
shippers had defaulted while some of their
export longs attracted a good deal Of at
tention. Such reports are quite frequent
ly in evidence during seasons of rapidly
advancing prices, but are generally re-
garded as indicating either a short yield
or difficulty in securing wired grades.
London cables reported better prospect
for the settlement of labor troubles and
reviews of the local dry goods market, in
dicating a continued active demand,
doubtless helped the advance.
