Sayidae announces that state land
sale will be held January 6. 1914 es-
pecially to accommodate those who

fore Mr.. Gaynor was able to resume
his duties, and he carried the bullet
to his grave.
His death likewise was closely as
ISOLATED with travel on the high seas
and came at a time when he had
thrown off the mantle Of toll and was
speeding on his way to Europe.
Mr.. Gaynor's active political ca
reer is well known, and, although he
took pride in his achievements, he was
never SO happy and contented as when
at home on his farm at st. James. N. Y.
Here he cast aside all of the dignity
Of his position and became the simple
son of the soil.
AS farmer Mayor Gaynor would
talk by the hour. He made study
Of other things in which he was inter-
ested. He knew his farm from a
practical and scientific standpoint. for
he had labored at that occupation from
his early boyhood up, learning from
nature and observation.
1t was possible to study Mayor Gay
nor to the best advantage on his farm.
1t was more Of Il home to him than
any other place in which he ever lived.
In the midst Of his fields the simple
and direct side Of his nature FREEDOM
mated.
He was a keen student of Seneca.
Epictetus and other Of the ancient
stoics and often declared that many
Of the gravest actions Of his life were
inspired by these famous philosophers.
Mayor Gaynor's view Of death was
given in a letter to his sister written
shortly after the attempt upon his life.
The mayor then wrote:
was not bit afraid to die IL that was
Gods will of me. / said to myself, just
as well now as a few years from now.
No one who contemplates the immensely
Of Almighty God and of his universe and
his works and realizes what an atom he

were to be dissolved forever into the In

came.

Washing Gloves,

The secret of success in washing
chamois and doeskin gloves lies in
using iukewarm or cold water-better
cool than even few degrees too warm.
That, at least, is one of the secrets;
the other is to use soapy water. The
soapier the water, provided it is of the
right temperature, the silker and soft
err the gloves will be. They should
first be freed from all dirt in soapy
bath and then put through another
soapy bath in order that they may be
rinsed from the dirt.
They should then be pressed and
squeezed in a thick towel until they
are free from soap and water as nearly
as possible. Then they are ready to be
hung to dry in cool. dry place. Never
hang them near fire and never hang
them in the sunshine If you would
have them soft and pliable after laun
dering.

Two million trees will be planted on
the national forests in Utah, Nevada
and Southern Idaho during 1914.
Makers of small hickory handles for
hammers, chisels, and the like, are
now trying to use the waste from mills
which make hickory spokes and pick
and axeshandles.
There is much waste IN getting out
the flawless white oak necessary for
tight barrel slaves. The forest service
is trying to get manufacturers of par
quetry flooring to use some of this
waste.
The United States consul at Aber-
deem, Scotland, thinks that American
manufacturers may have a chance to
compete in furnishing slaves for fish
barrels. There has been recent rise
in the price of spruce and fir slaves
from Sweden and Scotland.
