Polydore. 81 have never had the

"And yet" said the stranger, you

1.-THE extreme length of tho f1rst
phalanx of your little finger, said
Polydore, to the now thoroughly mys-
titled stranger, Indicates that you are
writer of extraordinary talent. The
spatulate shaped tip OF the same
finger shows. moreover, that you pos
sess great originality, an inventive
and very active mind and strong
bent toward realism"
"If | did not lay myself open to tho
charge of being immodest and con-
ceited," said the stranger, beaming
with self -complacency, 81 would adj

THE finger of Apollo (the one ad-

lack constituencies to artistic beauty.
And, in addition to this, the texture
of the skin on the back Of your hand
is unusually coarse, giving evidence

From all OF which have conclud-

county is to have more dairies and
creamelies as a result Of the efforts Of
T. z. Clarke, the better farming ex-
pert, and w. L. Cook OF Harvey. The
latter has decided to start a dairy
farm on the Sheyenne near Harvey
and has purchased q car Of high bred
Holstein cattle.
Another car was brought tC Fessen-
den and several farmers made Dur-
chases. Another will be sold at Har-
vey and it is probable that a Holstein
Association will be formed here as has
been done in Morton county. There
are many German Russians in this
county, some OF whom have had form
er experiences as dairymen in their
native country and they are greatly in
terested in the movement.
In this connection a number OF
farmers have arranged to have silos
constructed during the coming spring
SO they will be aDle to keep fresh feed
for their dairy herds. The farmers
around Martin .and Anamoose are to
be interested as we'll as those around
.Fessenden and Harvey.
1t is estimated by forming a strong
Holstein association in the county and
sticking to that breed exclusively
W ellis can later become one Of the
Holstein headquarters for the entire
state and will be the mecca for people

SILVER DOLLAR IS
sent BY PARCEL POST
Especial to The TribGne.)

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 19.-An un-
wrapped silver dollar was sent by
parcels post from the Spokane office
to Mrs. Elton Davis OF Bevier, Mo-,
by j.. E. Bowen, OF 1906 Monroe street.
The address was pasted on IN side
Of the dollar and a O%ne-cent parcels
post stamp on the other. When the
unattended and unWrapped coin was
picked up in the postoftice the super
intendents gathered around and eyed
the money suspiciously, thinking an
employe was trying to perpetuate a
joke. On investigation the dollar
proved to be inoffensive and genuine,
the address was plain and all rules
had been complied with. The dollar
was placed in a large bag with laun-
dry, shoes, washers and pretZels and
started on it's trip to Missouri. A few
banks of Spokane have employed the
parcels post as an adjunct OF their
savings departments and many out.
of-toWn patrons are sending their re-
by mail, enclosed in small met
banks.

Especial to The Tribune.)

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 19.-Forest
Oil cials Of washington, Idaho and
| Montana met in Spokane this week
and arranged for the sale of six bill
lion feet of lumber. mostly white pine,
from the national forests in the coun-
try tributary to Spokane.
A crew Of ten men will start at
once the task of estimating in the
Clearwater forest Of Idaho, in which
a billion and a half feet Of lumber
have been applied for. On account OF
the stupendous proportions OF the
sale the estimating cannot be COM
pleted before autumn.
Another crew Of estimators will go
to the Pend Oreille forest, also in
Idaho, before the middle OF March.
AS rapidly as the work Of surveying
and planning Of operations can be
concluded the timber will be thrown
open to bids.
Two hundred million feet Of lumber
will be sold from the Kaniksu nation
al forest April 1st, but this is %insigniti-
can compared to some sales that will
be made in the> Clearwater, Pend Or
ellie, Occur d'Alene and Kootenai
forests Of Idaho, and the Fiathead,
Blackfeet and l4olo forests in west
ern Montana.
District Forester T.. A. ESilcox OF
Missoula, Mont, who presided over
the session, announced that plans for
fire prevention in the forests would
be prosecuted more vigorously than
ever. A system of trails, to consist
of main trails, joined by connecting
and spur trails, has been mapped out.
Brush and underground will be clear
ed out before summer, and the tele-
phone systems now in use in the for
ests will be improved and extended.
Last year was the most successful
in the history OF forest fire proven
ton efforts in the Spokane country.
A number Of cooperative timber pro-
tective associations have completed
their figures for the year, their re-
ports showing that the expa1lse OF
protection was negligible, aside from
that OF maintaining organization. The
foresters say this winter has been
ideal in that plenty Of moisture has
been stored against the coming OF
the danger season.
