 HERE'S HOW TO KEEP GRINDsToNEs IN sHAPE.

There are three kinds of grind stones in the world, viz
 l. Those that are no good and never were-N
 purchased but soon became rough and uneven
 3 Those that were good stones when purchased and have continued so with care and hard usage. - - The latter kind is the only stone to have anything to do with. Buy from a reliable dealer and get a stone of such geological formation that it will grind It should be around 24 inches in diameter and 8 Inches thick. mounted in a steel or wood frame with a double tread and 1geared in best ball bearings not only to give the best of wear but to make its operation easy. A good stone properly housed and well cared for fEhoIl1d last a life time.
 Grindstones differ in the size of the sI granules from which the geological formation is made. Get the kind best suited to the purpose for which you wish to use it.. The base of all grind stones is sandstone and that is soft as well as hard The kind of stone you need depends wholly upon whai you wish to sharpen Your dealer will be able to help you in the right selection if you tell him what you want to grind.
 How to Care for a Stone
 Wash off any grease that may get on the surface. 2. Never let. water stand in the trough when you are done using the stone.
 B Keep the grindstone out of tn, gun and rain.
 4. When not in use throw a baz pr piece of sail cloth over it to keeI but the dirt and dust.
 How to Use It.
 1. Use enough water to hold tn, sand partic1es worn from the stoni pn it's grinding surface such a 1engtl of time as will enable you to get fhei Full value Unless there is grit on tn Btone there can be no grinding be rause it is the. loose particles that d. the sharpening.
 2 If you use too much water o course you wash off the particles be fore you use them.
 3. While if you use too little wa Ser you heat your tool and are Iabl to take the temper out of your blad and ruin your instrument 7 4. Run the stone at such a regu nar uniform speed that the water vii mot fly off the stone but follow i Fnund and round.-Farm Life.

as Brindisi and the lower coast of Albania, and ends at the Strait of Otranto, by which it communicates with the Ionian Sea. It's average width is 110 miles, but the islands off the Dalmatian and Istrian coasts de- crease this average to about 90 miles. The sea is very deep, varying from 500 feet in the north to more than 4,O0O feet in it's southern area
 '"The Austrian eastern coast, is very broken, strewn with fine harbors and lined with numerous rocky ts1- ands, which belong to Istria and Dal- matia- This western coast is of great naval and commercial value, well formed for the upbuilding of great, thriving trade ports, and, by reason of it's almost continuously mountain ous shores, it's deep gu1fs and bays, and it's screening fringe of rocky is1- ands, advantageousIy defended The western or Italian coast, on the other hand, is low, sandy and almost un- broken. It lacks good harbors and offers few natural advantages for de- fense.
 sAThe commercial importance of the Adriatic Sea throughout the Dark Ages and the Middle Ages was very great. This importance was somewhat impaired by the opening of the aIl- sea route to India and by the deter mined growths of the Dutch and Eng fish merchant marines. With the opening of the Suez Canal and the commercial and industrial awakening of Italy and Austria-Hungary the Adrtatfc regafned much of its old time significance. The most important commercial points are Tries, Venice, Plume, Ancona and Brindisi.E Venice and Tiest, at the. head of the Adri- atic, are the two foremost cities.
 Owing to the systems of screening mountains, the Adriatic receives but little drainage. There are only two rivers of any considerable size that

The one-time champion of the worlds middle weights and heavyweights was born in Cornwall, England, June A. 1862, and began his career as a fighter in New Zealand, later emigrating to Australia and thence to New Zealand.
 Last year the FreckIed Fellow tried to edge into the Hmehght by pulling a comeback, but that was old stuff and it didn't get across. The unfeel- ing b0xing commissioners ruled that Ruby Robert was too venerable to put on the gloves again in public. F'itz took part in a few contests in Pennsylvania, but, although he met only fourth-raters, his showing gave him little to brag about.
 Bob has tried time and again to shine on the stage, but as an actor he lacked the finesse and finish which have enabled James J. Corbett to drag-down a regular salary ever since he quit the ring. It is certain that Bob's parents didn't raise him to be an actor. As for that, he was destined to be a. minister On sew eraI occasions within the last few years Fitz has followed John L. s ex- ample and delivered moral lectures to a palpitating populace. but the ef- feet has been somewhat mitigated by the testimony offered by Bob's ex- wife in the trial for her divorce suit in Chicago last December Mrs. F'ttz No. alleged that Friend Husband was given to too free indulgence in firewater, and said that at various and divers times he had pulled her hair, and sometimes amused himself by throwing bottles at her.

Cupid Helps to Keep the Old Boxers

Nothing is so gaa1ing to the pride of a man who has once been famous -or notorious-as to find the pub lie becoming indifferent to him. Yet this fate is in store for all stars of the ring and the diamond who out live their usefulness-and a majority of them do. To be the hero of an open-mouthed and staring multitude an object of awe to the kids, is call culated to give anybody a case of exaggerated ego. And then comes. with sickening suddenneas, the dull thud of the drop back into obscuri- ty, when the ex-hero has to buy his own drinks, and looks in vain through the sport pages for mention of his once honored name.

KAY BRINGS SUIT
AGAINST CO. COURT

Murray Kay has, through mandamas
proceedings, brought suit against the
members of the county court, seeking
to force them to place him in charge of
county road construction in accordance
with the law as passed by the 1918 leg
islature.
Mr.. Kay gives his reasons for the
suitfin the following communication to
the Glacier:
THE suit which | have brought
against the county court is for the pur-
pose of having the road work of this
county done according to law.
THE legislature of 1918 passed a
road law, the terms of which are very
clear and definite, commanding meth
cd of procedure exceptionally practc-
able. and through conformity with
which this county should be able to
make a wonderful advance in scientific
and economic road building.
1T simply provides that where a
road district has thousand dollars or
more at its disposal this is to be ex-
pended only after plans and specifica-
ations have been made and that the
work must be done by contract award
ed to the lowest bidder.
Responsibility for the plans, speci-
fications and the proper carrying out of
all work is placed on one man, namely,
the county engineer or the county road
master.
I'm other words, the county road
work is placed on the usual business
basis governing all contract work as
successfully carried forward by ind-
vduals and corporations in this coun-
try and throughout the world.
The people of this community can
not fail to realize that no matter what
Interpretations may be made this
new law and method is at least worth
a trial and the bringing of this suit is a
duty | owe not only to myself, but to
the people who have elected me to this
office -

Of Government camp, going down the
Sandy. Mrs. Anna X. Baker went a
part of the way.

Portland Friday night more enthusias-
tic over the possibilities of the pro-
posed road than Mrs. Clark.

clothes had been so torn when my horse
fell with me that | was glad to get

However. | am mighty glad that
took the trip. 1t was a rough journey
but the scenery viewed repaid US for
the hardhsips. For four miles we
passed over new country with no trail
to guide US. Our horses jumped logs
and ploughed their way through brush.
The trip covered was 2S miles, and we
made digressions, going up to the snow
line on Mount Hoods side. This side
trip was five miles long.
I'VE spent Thursday night at Net
ties Camp, headquarters for rangers.
Leaving there at 7.30 o'clock Friday
morning, we arrived at Government
Camp at 1890 and took the stage for
Portland.
81 hope they will soon find way
clear to open that road: for it will GER
tainly be a trip that traveller will
never forget. At all times one is sur
rouded by the amazing grandeur of the
heart of the mountains. -
