Ayery's Letter

Liverpool came through the Christmas holidays in good shape and opened about n points better than due this morning, which gave our market a good start, first prices being 12 to 15 points above yesterdays close There was no news of consequence during the day. but the market reflects clearly that it has been thoroughly cleaned out. and after declin-
 ing 10 points scattered realizing on the opening advance, prices steadied up and held the advance well.
 Trading is still very light. which nat urally holds fluctuations within a narrow range.
 Spots are in strong hands with no dis position to sell at the prevailing level. There was a decided show of strength during the last hour which drove shorts
 to cover and ran prices to the highest
 for the day. an advance of 50 points from yesterdays close.

PLOWBOY FOR

And there is . fine garden spot

tinuing plowboy ambitions. This

life and unfailing good cheer is

Million
Cords Of Wood
Wasted Annually

Washington, June 20.-There
are more than 5000 sawmills in
the United States, and their out
put of waste in the form of saw
dust, shavings, slabs, and other
wood refuse is estimated as 36
million cords per year. This is
equal to over Al billion cubic
feet of waste, which is the ca
pacity of a bin one-half mile
high with base covering a forty
acre lot. o., considering each
cord to contain eighty cubic feet
of solid wood with all the cracks
and air spaces taken out, these
36 million cords would make
block of wood more than a quar-
ter of d mile on each edge.
Perhaps one.half of this So
called waste product is not
strictly speaking wasted, but
serves a useful purpose as fuel
under the boilers. Much of the
remaining tS million cords not
only serves no useful purpose,
but in most cases is a source of
inconvenience and danger, and
costs the mill time and money.
Sawmill waste is disposed of
IN various ways. Some goes to
the local fuel market, some to
pulp mills or to wood distillation
plants. Shavings and log cut
tings, as we'll as other mill waste,
are sometimes used to fill low
places in the yard. However,
the most common method of get.
ting rid of waste is by burning
either in a fire-pit having an
open fire which sometimes has a
protecting wall on the side tc-
wards the mill, or in a burner.

TEACHERS LEAVE

st. Bernard'S School, of this place,
closed on last Friday, June 10, after
a year of comparative success de-
spite the many difficulties under which
the noble teachers were forced to
labour.
The good nuns who have had
charge of this school for thepast two
years came here from st. Joseph,
DavieSS County, KY, where the
Mother house of the UrsulineS, and
also one of their splendid academies
is located; they have proven them
selves loyal and efficient teachers in
every respect, and each patron and
pupil, without a single exception feels
indebted to them for their kindness
and fidelity to them, and for their
untiring efforts in their behalf.
A slight manifestation of their APP
probation of these sisters was shown
by the number of pupils and parents
who assembled at the depot on Sat-
urday morning to bid adieu to these
Jealous teachers. Although strict
diSciplinarian5, their rules were obey
ed through motives of love rather
than of fear, since by their kind and
winning ways they have crept into
the hearts of the children, and their
return in September is looked for
ward to eagerly.

Lexington a nd Louisville
Both Tried to Change

co. G AND HOSPITAL CORPS
RECRUITING TO FULL STRENGTH

The Louisville Evening Post
publishes the following special from
yesterdays edition:
Washington, June 20.-The Ad-
jutant General today stated that Earl
ington had been finally selected as
the point Of mobilization for the
Kentucky troops, and that it would
be useless for the representative Of
any other city to seek to change the
program following the designation Of
Darlington by Adjutant General Ellis
and the change from Fort Thomas 10
that point. Lexington made siren
uous efforts to have that city select
ed.
This appears definite though no
orders to that effect have yet been
received by the local officers. Lex
ington offered to spend $4,000 on
the camp site preparation and Louis
vile sought to bring great pressure
to have troops modified at that city.
1t is announced by Gov. Stanley
that the State mobilization camp has
gone begging for more than year
and that the ST. Bernard Mining Co,
alone has until now made any offer
Of grounds for such camp. When
it become known the troops would
mobilize for preparation for border
service and the enthusiasm started,
Lexington and Louisville both started
getting busy to try to take the camp
through the exercise of big politicrl,
personal and financial influence. If
the Posts story IS true they have
failed.
Tender has been made by Earling-
ton people of ample grounds for
camp site for use in mobilizing the
National Guard of Kentucky. The
grounds are situated just North of
Darlington and are conveniently near
the railroad yards, which include
more than nine miles of siding, on
which troop trains could be handled
without hitch. Darlington is also
within easy reach of city markets
from which all necessary supplies
can be had promptly. Ample supply
of good water for all camp purposes
is at hand and every facility for the
convenience and comfort of the camp
will be provided. There are adequate
drill grounds and the fact that the
State Rifle Range is located here is
another excellent card in Earlington's
favor. The field and staff officers
whose homes are here and the officers
and men of G. Company are full of
interest over the call for mobilization
and are ready to take their part with
enthusiasm. Captain Ben Wilson of
G. Company said today his Com
pany will within twenty-four hours
be recruited to full strength.
If the Kentucky troops are mobiliz-
ed here it will bring more than 220o
men to the camp, which might be
maintained for some weeks IN prep
aration for border service and while
awaiting the call of Gen. Funston,
who will designate such troops as are
best prepared at such times as he may
need additional forces on the border.
sc" Co. is under orders at the
armory and Capt. Wilson is recruit
ing new men rapidly. Capt Nisbet
is also filling up the vacancies in the
Hospital Corps.
Following is a complete roster of
officers and men, as it stands today,
including field and staff officers, Hos
pital detachment and QuartermaSter

For the first time there will be
no vacancy in the presidency
next March when the inaugura
tion takes place on the 5th, the
fourth coming on Sunday. If
Mr.. Lansing is then secretary of
state he will be acting president.
On three previous occasions the
inauguration Of a president has
occurred on March 5th instead of
the fourth. But no one became
acting president for the "a hours
because it happened that there
was no president of the senate
