INVOCATION.

0 Thou whose equal purpose runs
In drops Of rain or streams Of suns,
And with soft compulsion rolls
The green earth on her snowy poles;
o Thou who keepest in thy ken
The times Of flowers, the dooms Of men,
Stretch out mighty wing above
Be tender to the land we Lowell
If all the huddlers from the storm
Have found her hearthstone wide and warm;
It she has made me free and glad,
Sharing. with all, the good she had;
It she has blown the very dust
From her bright balance to be just,
Oh, spread a mighty wing above
Be tender to the land we love!
When in the dark eternal tower
The sta -clock strikes her trial hour,
And for her help no more avail
Her sea-blue shield. her mountain-mail,
But sweeping wide, from gulf to lakes,
The battle on her forehead breaks.
Throw Thou thunderous wind above
Be lightning for the land we love!

BILE AND B|L|0USNESS

Coated tongue, bitter taste in the
mouth, indigestion, headache, lack of
appetite, constipation and a feeling of
fatigue are effects of excessive secretion
of bile.
This condition is called bilousness and
points directly to the need of something
to regulate the liver. For this purpose
Plnklets, the new laxative, are greatly
superior to old-fashioned liver medicines
which over stimulate the liver and, when
their use il stopped, leave it more torpid
than before. Pinklets are tiny, sugar.
coated granules that do not upset the
stomach or cause gripping.
Write the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.
Schenectady, N. Y, for free sample or

from your own druggist.

You shall be muse in the young birds threats.
You shall be breaking. soon, in silver notes;
A virgin laughter in the young earth's bosom.
Oh, that l could with you Renter earth.
Pass through her heart and come again to sun,
Out of her fertile dark to sing and run
In loneliness ard fragrance of new mirth!
Fall, rain! Into the dust go with you,
Pierce the remaining SHOWS with subtle fire,
Warming the frozen roots with soft desire,
Dreams of ascending leaves and flowers new.

Seeking for some new loneliness of shape;
Dark loneliness that dreams of new escape,
The sun-surrender of unclosing bud.

will;

J. S. CONDUCTS WOOD-WASTE EX-
CHANGE.

WASHINGTON, May 8, 1915. The lat
est business aid service instituted by the
government is wood waste exchange.
1t enables lumbermen and manufacture
ers in the various wood-using industries
to utilize each others waste to mutual
advantage, aiming to effect large say
ing in forest material as we'll as in
money.
The wood-waste exchange is being con-
Quoted by the forest service of the de-
partment of agriculture, More than
forty manufacturers of wooden articles
already have asked to be listed as having
certain kinds of waste wood for sale, or
as desiring to obtain their raw material
in the rough or in semi-fnished form
from mill or factory waste.
Twice month the exchange sends out
circular headed, Opportunities to Buy
Waste" containing the names and ad-
dresses of factories having waste wood
for sale, with exact information as to
species, size, forms and quantities. SIM
ilarly, another circular headed, Copper
tunities to Sell Waste" gives the spe-
cific requirements of wood-using plants
which desire to buy waste material.
One of the first waste problems solved
has been that of a furniture maker in
Michigan, who wrote to the forest ser
vice asking how to dispose of sugar ma
pie blocks and sticks which were cut off
in the process of furniture making and
which he had to sell merely as fuel.
Samples were obtained from him and the
forest service then located a scrubbing
brush manufacturer who used small ma
pie blocks for brush backs. The result
was that the furniture maker was en-
abled to sell his waste at much higher
price than it had brought as firewood,
while the brush maker was enabled to
buy brush-back material in suitable sizes
at much lower figure than it had been
costing him to buy maple lumber and cut
it up.
Firms which have been put into touch
with each other through the exchange
are expected to notify the forest service
when their requirements have been met;
then their names are removed from the
lists. In this way several concerns
which early took advantage of the plan
have dropped off the lists; but as more
and more manufacturers learn of the
wood-waste exchange the lists are stead
lily growing.

pleasure. The fever is said to be terri

RAIL RO AID
WILSON AT HEAD
President of the United States
Heads Government Line.
ArrOwrOck Road i'm Idaho Prop
erty of Uncle Sam.

| President Woodrow Wilson controls
at least one railroad and has authority
to issue passes over it. He is by virtue
OF his office, official president of the
only standard gauge railroad in the
| United States, built and operated by
| the government. 1t IS the Arrowrock
line constructed by the reclamation
service to carry supplies from Boise,
Idaho, to the largest irrigation dam in
the world, the Arrowrock, located 20
miles above Boise. and it is a paying
common carrier from the earnings of
which a surplus has been turned back
into the United States treasury. This
road is in operation now and has been
for the past four years, having been
| built in 1911.
When the gigantic task of erecting
the ArrowrOck dam across the Boise
river was conceived the problem of
transporting the supplies to its side
had to be solved. This resulted in the
decision to build the railroad. 1t was
constructed with a maximum grade of
L u per cent and a maximum curva-
ture of IL degrees, up the Boise river
canyon and was a success from the
start. 1t is now in constant operation
fully equipped with government roll
ing stock. Without it the government
would have been seriously handi-
capped in erecting this dam 551 feet
high and weighing over a million tons.
Since its operation this road has
earned a net surplus of So, 334.09, or
higher percentage considering the
distance than many railroads much
longer in various parts of the country.
Its total freight earnings are $685.
1886; its switch earnings have
amounted to $5O6.5O. A total of $780,
212.75 was taken in for passenger
fares of which the government paid
$1,S11.25, tickets and cash fares,
amounted to $4S,272.82 and there was
excess baggage of $12S.6S collected.
The miscellaneous earnings of the
road amounted to $9S44O, bringing
the total gross earnings up to $780,
417.O1. The total operating cost
amounted to S228.O62.92.
The train mileage up to July 1,
1915, was 105,129 with an operating
cost per mile of $2.17. There was a
total of 63,327 passengers carried. The
freight hauled reached 1926, 4O1 ton
miles of which 60,314 was commercial,
1,894,764 government supplies and
11,S71,323 gravel and sand.
Uncle Sans railroad is the con-
Meeting link to reach the site of the
big dam which will be dedicated Oc-
tober with appropriate ceremonies
in Boise and at the dam. This date
will also mark the completion of the
Boise project composed of 243,000
acres located tributary to Boise, Cald-
well and Nampa and for the partial
irrigation of which 244,30O acre-feet
of water will be impounded behind the
dam in a mountain reservoir 8 miles
long.
