The Wastes of Yesterday.

News comes from Sheboygan, Wis,
that three corporations have been or
ganized there to make furniture from
sawdust, or rather from paper made
from sawdust, according to processes
on which the federal forest labora-
tory at Madison is now working. This
utilization of sawdust, so long a
waste which the lumber industry
found it vexing problem merely to
get rid of, illustrates how science
goes on to convert into valuable
materials the wastes of yesterday.
Some of these days some one will
write a most interesting true romance
about the utilization of what former
generations regarded as useless. 1t
will find much material in the mining
industry beginning, perhaps, with
the shrewd Scotsman who found a
fortune in the waste dumps that the
ancient silver miners of Athens left
behind them, unregarded for at least
a millennium. 1t will show how
American copper, coal and other
miners are today working over and
winning wealth from what an earlier
generation left behind as waste.
Another chapter will tell the story
of cotton seed, which for years plant
ers burned as the lumber millers did
sawdust, merely to get rid of it. An
other will tell how long coke makers
let billions of feet of gas escape into
the air before. science found how to
save it proftably. Still another will
tell the story of how the Chicago
meat packers made their fortunes
largely through avoiding waste

American Elk.

There are, according to estimates
made by the National Sportsman,
about 100000 elk in this country, of
which 2,2O0 are in captivity in 125
different places. The largest herd,
numbering, according to the govern
ment census, between $4,000 and
$4,000, is in the Yellowstone region.
In the summer these elk range in the
vicinity of the continental divide in
the. park. Since the settlement Of
the valleys the elk which are forced
to descend from the mountains in the
winter in order to obtain food have
starved in large numbers. Since
1909, winter feeding has been pro-
vided by the State of Wyoming and
the federal government, and recent
ly congress appropriated $4,000 for
the purchase of 1000 acres near
Jackson, Wyoming, where sufficient
hay can be raised each year to feed
the herds during the winter. During
late years the government has ex-
perimented with small herds num-
bering about 100, which have been
transferred to thirteen different
States for the purpose of restocking
reservations. In this way it is hoped
that wild elk can be retained in this
country permanently. The Adiron-
dack herd was rapidly approaching
extinction when the government and
the State of New York took hand.
1t is believed that after the fate of
the buffalo many States will attempt
to encourage the propagation of elk
in country which is unfit for farm
ing.-Indianapolis News.

SALARIED MAN THE LOSER.
Effort of Fitting 1906 Income to 1916
Outgo Hopeless.

''The real tragedies of life," says
DR.. F. S. Stein, of Lincoln, Nebraska,
may be found in refined families
who are trying to fit the income OF
1906 into the outgo of 1916. What
were yesterday the costly luxuries OF
the well-to-do have today become the
daily necessities of the many. The
purchasing power of $4,000 salary
of today is less than that of $4,000
salary of ten years ago."
And, DR.. Stein asserted, the
vast army of salaried men has been
the chief sufferer The wages OF
mechanics and day laborers have ad-
vanced Gin about the same ratio as
the cost Of living. ''But the salarled
men have had their salaries increased
but slightly, and in many instances
not at ALL
1t was ever thus with the salaried
man. He has held the ability that
was useful to the enterprises of men
with capital. His struggle has been
one of competition without combina-
ton. He has scorned to market his
services by force and collectivism.
The laborer has come to it. The
artisan, who prided himself on the
individuality of his work and enjoy
ed pefsonal ties with his employers,
had had. to forego these non-essen-
tials. He now speaks to his en-
ployer in the brutal, if protective,
terms of unionism. He has submit
ted schedules of pay and insisted on
them on pain of strike. Thus he has
bettered his condition and raised the
standards of pay both within and
without the unions.
The salaried man alone is left in
the lurch, the only uncorrupted apos-
tie of competitive system. He may
so remain, for all the statutes of men
his is, the least in money grubblng.
His is the talent which can make the
least go the, farthest, and his is the
disposition to make the most of his
lot without pressure on his employ

 itos. The message admitted a serious defeat for the Carranza troops and asked that the American forces be cautioned to exercise unusual vigil ance along the border, particularly in the Big Bend region in Texas, as there was reason to believe the bandits were headed that way to precipitate a new border incident. The message was promptly forwarded to General Funston as a matter of information.
 Swears He Saw Villa. At the same time, the state depart ment received a report from an Ameri- can in MexIco that he had seen ana talked with Vile personally near | Corralitos, few days before the fight reported in the Carranza message. The bandit leader was said to have entirely recovered from wounds re- ceived at Columbus except that he used a cane and walked with slight limp.
 Near corraIitos Recently.
 This message, the source of which was not revealed, added that Villa had been continuously in the Corral itos region since the American pur- suit was halted by the clash at Parral, the first outbreak of hostility against General Pershing's expedition Dy Car ranza soldiers. Corralitos is short distance southeast of Parral and the detachment of American cavalry which was halted while attempting to pass through Parral was on its way to Corralitos at the time. Think "Panco" Dead. If Villa is alive and has recovered sufficiently to lead new force toward the border, considFable detachments of Carranza troops are between his present position and the most ad vanced American patrols. General Carranza's message of warning gave assurances that every effort would be made by thes eforces to capture or destroy the band. In any event, how ever, there will be no possibility of American troops becoming involved for many days, as it is long march from Corralitos to the Big Bend region.
 Mir. Arredondo reiterated tonight his belief that Villa is dead. The de facto government has received no definite news of Villa for more than three months, he said. He expects more information concerning the bandits from Mexico City tomorrow and will communicate it immediately
 to the state department. The ani- bassador also said he expected early ] instructions to begin informal con : ferences with Counsellor Polk. Americans Returning.
 The state department received in ! formation today that many Americans | who hastened to the border or the seacoast when the crisis seemed
 grave. already are returning to the | interior of Mexico. Some have turned
 back from Vera Cruz. Others are
 going in from Eagle Pass and other border cities.
 Department officials are using every effort b dissuade them from this course, at least until an agreement has been reached through diplomatic
 negotiations.
