Wrapping Irvine From Paper.

Washing ton.-That wrapping twines
which give thorough satisfaction can
be made from paper has been demon
strated by experiments made by the
Forest Products Laboratory at Madi-
son, Wisconsin. Several hundred pack
ages, each containing medium-siZed
book, were wrapped and fastened with
the lightest-weight paper Irvine and
were mailed to various points through
out the United States. Reports show
that PARTIALLY every package was re-
ceived in good order and that in no
case was there any damage which
could be charged as a fault of the
twine
In making Irvine the paper is cut
into narrow strips which are then
twisted tightly to form a cord The
strength of the Irvine depends upon
the character of the paper used and
the process of treatment. 1t is well
adapted to number of purposes, but
the foresters say that as yet no sat
isfactory means has been found for
protecting paper Irvine from the ac-
ton of water and it should not be
used where it will be exposed to mois-
ture

Brentwood wolves have been
killed in northwestern Wisconsin this
fall than last winter. The season
promises to be the best wolf hunting
winter in years. One Brentwood man
has killed five already, getting 800 in

partly responsible for the fact that
there are fewer deer than ever before,
although there are more deer hunters.

been a good many United States sol
diers there and people have been less
afraid There is a Mexican post at
the line, located at the headgate of the
Imperial valley canal, where water is
taken from the Colorado river to irri-
gate the valley. There is a saloon
across the line and many Americans
go over and bring in liquor on which
they have to pay a tariff There are
always Mexican soldiers there, rang
ing in numbers from twenty-five to
200 These forces at first sympathiz-
ed with villa, but after Carranza was
recognized and got leave to send sol
diers across United States territory
after Villa, they turned over and join
ed Carranza. Governor CantO, of low
er California, practically has control
of the situation and is friendly to Am
orleans, hence, nothing serious hap
pened along the line at that point.
There is a post in the ground on the
line between California and Arizona,
on the Mexican border and l often
took a step out of California into Ari-
IONA and then took another into Mex
leo, getting back into California with
third. Lots of people were afraid
to do that, and there was always the
possibility of something disagreeable
happening If an American who could
not speak Spanish should go across
without an interpreter, he was liable
to get into trouble or be put to in
convenience. l remember a Hunger
who went across the line to the sa-
loon to get a drink There was law
against carrying weapons at the Mexi-
can post and he did not know it. He
had on a shirt and trousers but no
coat, and a little pistol that he had in
his pocket showed While he was
drinking his beer half dozen Mexi-
cans closed in on him and took him to

big corral where they locked him
up with board to sleep on. His bro
Their came over and tried to get him
out, but they insisted in taking him
to Mexicali for trial on the charge of
carrying gun. The fact is that the
officials were grafters and wanted to
get piece of money to let him go. His
brother appealed to an influential AM
erican in Yuma, who went down and
got him out the next day without his
having to pay a fine. Incidents of
that kind were liable to happen any
time, but, owing to the friendliness Of
Governor Canto, nothing serious oc-
Cured. Canto has an immense cot
ton plantation just across the line and
has large investments in this country,
so he is firmly for peace, and having
control there enforces it,
1.-THE great trouble with the Mexi-
cans is that they are like children and
for that reason, ] fear that they can
not work things out without our go
ing in there. They are treacherous
because they are like children; one
day they are friendly and good to you
and the next they take another notion
and are just the other way"
