Did any woman ever love Eerhome
as she loved hers?
Myra Webb asked herself this ues-
ton, looking about the iirelit tom.
She had been shopping all dV, and
was weary. To come back % this
handsome house and to the sround-

than ever to-day, she muse1 Yet
she had had this home long erugh to
get used to it.
She thought back over TIN past
the past when, as a girl, ale had
expected to have to support lerself
by her pen. When her parent died
within a year of each otm they
had left her even poorer tan she
had feared she would be, tr they
had lived right up to their ncome,
which had not been MOT than
enough to supply their neds and
give their daughter a sooi educa-
tion.
This education had made posi-
bic for her to get the posion OF
secretary TO n society leaer. In
her leisure moments she h;t writ
ten a few short articles, ome of
which she had sold to a hoie mag
azine that had paid only small
sum for them. She had ofn Won

five months tour with a motorcycle
and sidecar which has just been COM
pleted. They have in the intervening
time been in twenty-three States and
one foreign country, visited $50 cities
and towns, crossed the country to the
Pacific coast, went as far south as
Tia Juana. Mex. Travelled north the
length of the coast to Washington and
returned home by way of the north
erly lake route. Their total mileage
was over l., 600 miles.
The machine, a 1915 Indian, was
driven by the son, who has ridden
II. Dtorcycles for five years, and his
father rode as a passenger. They car
ried tent, ponchos, blankets and
complete camping equipment. Through
the West they found the people in
variably hospitabe and were offered
the use of front yards to camp in.
In the Rockies they found traces of
the Wild West with cowboys in chaps
and packing guns. For a week one
time they camped in the lonely desert
with only occasionally passing In
dians and coyotes at night for COM
pany.
In the course of their trip they were
sunburned in crossing the deserts, ran
into snowstorms in the mountains and
were wind burned in the closing stages
of their journey home. They forded
rivers on the machine with the car
buretor under water a number of
times. In one day they breakfasted
in Ohio, lunched in Pennsylvania and
had supper in New York. The young
er Kellogg is studying to be an cleo
trical engineer and was ready to en-
ter school again as soon as the long
journey around the edges of the coun-
try was over.

Kane. Pa, March 15.--That Keith
Il. Dalrymple will not live many days
to enjoy the fortune of more than
100000 which is to be turned over
to him as a result of his arrival at
Port Allegheny is the opinion of Port
Allegheny physicians.
The disease from which he was suf-
fering when found in a southern hos

entertained for a cure.
Tomorrow morning Mrs. Mary
Dalrymple, the first wife of the late
Huge Dalrymple, will arrive at Olean.

returned to Port Allegheny yesterday
is really the missing heir, will rob

New Discovery Pushes Belt
Much Farther North.
Experimenters at Minnesota UhiVer-
sity Stumble Upon Way to Make
Grain terminate More Quick
" With N~itrobenzene.

Minneapolis. Minn.-Scientists at
the farm Of the University OF Mime
sofa have announced a discovery
which may result not only in vastly
increasing the corn production of Min
nesota and other states but In ex-
tending the northern limit Of the corn
belt much nearer Hudson bay.
The announcement comes at a time
when seed corn shortage is reported
to be particularly acute. Bank and
railroad officials of the Twin Cities
are trying to help farmers get seed
and prices are said to be as high as
s6 a bushel. with prospects of going
up to So or $40 by planting time
II future tests sustain present indi-
cations Of experiments carried on at
the university. every bushel Of corn
planted may be made to send up more
sprouts and these sprouts may grow
so fast that several weeks may be
gained in the maturing time of the
kernel.
The discoveries believe they have
found. quite by accident, a CONNER
cially practicable method of increas
ing both the termination efficiency
and the termination rate of seed corn.
It came about in experimenting with
various insecticides to be used In
treating grains.
Prof. william Moore OF the ento-
mology department and Prof, p K.
Hayes OF the agronomy department
have been working on fumigation proc
esses for killing grain parasites. 1t
was important that termination quail
ties of grain treated should not be Inn
paired in fumigating. so they regular
ly checked paintings OF the treated
grain against paintings OF the IN.
treated.
Il was in connection with the use OF
nitrobenzene that they bumped into
the unexpected. They found that not
only was the grain not impaired for
seed purposes. but that it actually
was bettered. Corn seemed to thrive
on the fumes of nitrObenzene. Not
only was the percentage of germina
ton increased by treatment, but the
rate Of termination also was speeded
up.
The experimenters checked and re
checked, again and again, with the
same results An experiment witt
1911 corn. for instance. brought out
that the fumigated seeds %sproutec

MAN THE WOMAN WANTED

Indianapolis.-w c. De Miller. fed
eral labor commissioner In Indian
apolis, has decided that he has reached
the point where patience ceases to be
a virtue, Recently, among his many
daily requests for laborers, he received
a request from a woman who lives on
a farm near Greenwood. It outlined
qualifications as follows:
II want man who neither smokes
drinks, chews o swears A widower,

and do not care If he has n or two
children. He must not be afraid OF
work and must have good health and
must have clean habits. Please send
me ten or fifteen men Of this character
and / will select the one want"
De Miller eventually found five men
who were willing to make the trip and
take their chances of obtaining the po-
sition, but when the FIVE men returned
to the labor commissioners office that
same evening De Miller was somewhat
surprised to hear them explain that
none If them could meet with the
woman's requirements.
And why7" demanded De Miller.
Because she wants a colOred man,

SNOW HITS FORESTS.
Heavy Fall During Winter Causes
Big Damage.
Logging and Milling Operations Ham
pered, Resulting in Decrease Of
Timber Sale Receipts-Not
Without Beneficial Side.

Misunderstanding to forest
service officials. the unusually heavy
snowfall which has signalized the past
winter in most of the West has mate
rally affected national forest business.
Timber sale receipts have decreased
In some regions because logging and
milling operations have been ham
pered by deep snow and exceptionally
cold weather. The same factors have
given stockmen using the national for
est ranges much concern, although as
yet there have been no severe live
stock losses reported. The foresight
OF the stockmen in providing winter
feed, which is generally practiced,
makes a recurrence of the former i'm
mense losses very unlikely. The dam
ages caused by the snow and resulting
slides and floods to forest service
trails, telephone lines and other per-
manent improvements are not yet
known. but undoubtedly are heavier
than usual and their repairs will make
much spring work for the rangers.
Most OF the railroads in crossing the
mountains OF the Northwest run for
considerable distances through the ma
tional forests. Reports from the for.
est officers show that some of the
roads have had a strenuous struggle
with the snow to keep the lines open.
The great rotaries have had hard
work 10 pillow through the huge drifts.
Snowslides have swept down the steep
slopes. filling the cuts. burying the
tracks to a great depth. and not only
blocking all traffic but in several
cases destroying life and property.
These slides usually occur on slopes
where fire has destroyed the timber,
leaving nothing TO hold the snow In
place, according to the forestry Off.
Gals. who assert that a thrifty stand
OF timber on the mountain sides is
the best possible safeguard against
these destructive avalanches.
The deep snow Is not without it's
beneficial side. say the forest officers.
II will lie long on the slopes and
ridges. keeping the ground moist until
late In the spring, and thus greatly
reducing the danger Of early fires
which sometimes occur with serious
consequences. A spring fire usually
destroys little timber. either green or
dead. but sweeps rapidly over stump
land ant old burns. feeding on the
dead vegetation Of the preceding year.
Its nac TO property aud life In re-
mote settlements has been demon.
strated. by keeping the ground moist

ton through which IRE will not run.

APPLY POWDERS WITH CARE
Much Harm May BE Done &c the skin
" It is Laid On Too Law
lshiy.

Many women whose complexion is
blotchy, red and unclean looking, can
trace the source of their trouble to a
superabundance of powder. Even the
best, purest powders on the market
will clog the skin pores, if applied too
heavily and often,
Powder was not meant to cover the
face so 1t looks as If the flour barrel
had been visited head first. It was In
tended as a mean of removing the
shine from the skin. Is there any
thing a more disgusting sight than a
woman with her chin and nose white
with powder? 1t seems that the wom-
en- who affect the headlight powder
system have the largest noses, the
homeliest chins. OF course, the pow
der only focuses attention on these
features.
The tint Of the powder used must
depend on the ~coloring of the user.
Blondes must use one color, brunettes
another, and according to the degree
of fairness or darkness. Also for eve
ming use there are certain shades OF
powder which are much more becom-
ing than the tints most attractive in
the daylight.
