Volcanic Ash Brings Hardship to Bruin
on Kadiak Island.

Seward, Alaska.-lt will take more
than two or three years of enforced
diet Of straight meat and fish and a
loss of hair to seriously set back the
bear population of Kadiak island, ac
cording to D. Winn of the United
States bureau of fisheries.
Kadiak island, says Mr. VIM. in
1912 was covered with volcanic ash at
no point at a depth less than eleven
inches. The ash killed all vegetation,
and as all bears are fond of mixed
diet of meat, fish and vegetables, they
found 1913 and 1914 unpleasant from
a dietary standpoint.
Another effect Of the fall of ash, &C
cording to Mr. Vim, was the havoc it
created with the furry coats Of the an
imals. Bald headed bears are now as
common on Kadiak island as bald
headed men in the front row Of a
musical comedy. The ash siftel down
On to the skins Of the animals as it
fell, and the first rain turned it to I've,
which had the effect of almost tanning
the skins Of the bears while yet part
Of their personal effects.

BALDHEADED ALASKAN BEARS LET HIM MAKE THE SALAD
And Let Him Hunt For the Ingredients
Too, Says a Woman.

90, Gays woman.
Newspaper comment to the contrary,
there still remain a few accomplish
ments in which man may excel a
woman, and, oddly enough, one of these
is salad making! Indeed, there seems
to be in the masculine character, psy-
chologically speaking, it may be sup
posed, something that makes the con-
cocting of salads a mans special gen
JUS in the way of humble skill.
You know the requirements for good
maker of salads-"A miser for vine
gar, a spendthrift for Oil and a mad
man to do the mixing"
And there you have it. A woman is
too careful, too cOnsiderate, too con-
ventional, too much hampered by de-
tails. But give masculine lover Of
good salads congenial company, full
liberty in the use of oil, vinegar and
pepper and the freedom of your re-
frigerator, and you may trust him to
produce a masterpiece
First of all, your salad master enjoys
the making of his dish. He puts into
1t the cOnV1v1allty Of good cOmradeShlp
and the zest Of adventure. He much
prefers an exploring expedition in
search for his ingredients and some
dubious uncertainty as to the result of
his efforts to cut and dried sureness
Of means and methods. The result Is
a surprise which, as we all know, is
one of the first aids toward good appe-
tite.
Next, a man does not want culinary
folderols He is hungry, and he wants
his salad to furnish him something to
eat SO he puts into it plenty of oil and
good substantial vegetables and green
things. He likes to eat; he likes adven-
ture and uncertainty: he likes piquancy
and pepper; he likes a vigorous way
Of doing things. Let him make your
salads.-Anne Rankin in Southern Wo-
mans Magazine.

A Good Word for the State Fair.

Fennimore Times: The hundreds of
people from this vicinity who attended
the Wisconsin state fair at Milwaukee
last week are loud in their praises of
the magnificent show presented in every
department. Bad weather alone pre-
vented it from being the financial sue
cess it surely would have been. Rain
and cold weather kept the attendance
down on three days. At that this years
deficit is much less than in either of the
two years. But the fair is getting bet
ter all the time, and what counts more,
is meeting with the hearty support of
both the city Of Milwaukee and the
state at large, which augurs we'll for
it's future.

the name OF George Olney as a

nomination for governor.
1t is significant that In his

The Guardian is authorized to

A. Olney as a candidate foI

on Mr.. Olney by the democratic
voters from every portion of the

Forest Fires in 1916

Figures recently compiled for
all National Forests indicate that
a little less than 100000 acres of
National Forest land were burned
over by forest fires during 1915.
Out of total Of 1924 fires, 81
per cent or 346 did damage to
the amount of $100 or more.
The loss in timber was l56. :
100000 board feet, valued at
$19O,00O. Young growth, val
ued at $3.50, 900, was also de-
stroyed. The loss on forage is
estimated to be So, 407.
Lightning caused but 28a per
cent of all the fires. the re-
mainder, 713 per cent, were man
caused. Forest officers state
that those fires caused by care
lessness are slowly being re-
duced as individuals are becom-
ing more alive to the detri-
mental affects Of forest fires on
community wealth.
Forest users and others inter
ested in the Sitgreaves National
Forest will be interested to learn
that their efforts combined with
those of the Forest administra-
ton in the prevention and sup
preston of fires have established
an enviable protection record.
AS past records indicate that So
per cent of all the Sitgreaves
fires are due to lightning, almost
twice the number for the coun-
try at large, it would appear
that our local people are far in
advance of most communities ir

fered through carelessness with
