OTHER LANDS FEEL WAR
PRICES MORE THAN y. S.
Inquiry Shows That Cost Of Necessi-
ties Has Increased So Per Cent
in Norway over 1914.

An inquiry made by Uncle Sam has
shown that the United States has felt
the increased cost of living resulting
from the great war less than any other
nation in the world. Other neutral
countries have been touched almost as
heavily as the belligerents.
The statistics give the biggest food
price advances in Austria, where
meats are more than 500 per cent
higher than before the outbreak Of
hostilities. Beef that in February,
1914. sold for 6.3 cents a pound now
brings 1877 cents. Meat prices In Ber-
lin show increases ranging from As to
100 per cent.
The British public is paying on an
average IS per cent more for it's food
than it did two years ago. The great
est increase, 1872 per cent, has been
in sugar; the lowest, II per cent, in
oleomargarine.
In France prices are % per cent
above the prewar average; in Italy
around 10 per cent.
Price increases in the neutral coun-
tries are shown to be highest in Nor
way, where 20 necessities are sold at
an average. of per cent more than
in 1914. Copenhagen workmen pay
"a per cent more for table articles
than two years ago; in Sweden prices
are 81 per cent higher; In Switzerland
the range Is from per cent to IT'S.

FOREST NOTES
(From the Forest Service, U. S.
Department of AgricuIture.)

It ~ estimated that automobiles car
ried to the Grand Canyon National
monument last year 10000 persons,
while the number Of persons to reach
the canyon by railroad was 92,ooo' or
five times as many as in 1914.
New Mexico official reports show
that 36O,325 cattle and 1,219,782 sheep
were shipped out Of that state In 1919.
Most of this stock was grazed on
public lands, especially the national
forests. On the forest ranges the for
age crop is as much an object OF care
as the timber crop, and is increasing
as a result of scientific methods.
Approximately IS per cent OF the
losses of cattle on the national forest
ranges due to poisonous plants Is
caused by tall larkspur. Death camas,
lupine, laurel, sneeze weed, and ruo-
Der weed are responsible for sheep
losses from such cause, while loco
weed is the principal poisonous plant
affecting horses. Last year the loss
from this cause amounted to S3oo,ooo.
That wild burros in the Grand can
yon of the Colorado are increasing
rapidly is the report from a ranger on
the Tusayan National forest, who says
the little animals in their search Tor
forage are finding their way to the top
in such numbers as to constitute
nuisance. Already there are thousands
of the animals in the Grand canyon
from Supai to the mouth OF the Little
Colorado, according to the forest ran

NOTES ON BLOOMING THINGS
BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN.

If you want to encourage blooming
in your hybrid and tea roses, cut back
to a well-developed bud at the juncture
Of leaf and stem when cutting on the
rose.
1t is not generally known that If a
spray Of gladiolus Is cut when the first
flower appears, or rather opens, and
placed in water it will bloom just as
we'll as If on the stalk.
Poppies are short-lived after being
cut, and therefore are unsatisfactory
for decoration. However, if every
bloom is cut in the evening and thrown
away, those flowers that open next
morning will last two or three days
If they are plunged in water up to
their necks for an hour or two. After
a thorough soaking they can be used in
vases, and their beauty will charm for
two or three days.
The sweet peas, like every flower
that blows, demands daily stripping
of every bloom. Producing seeds Is
done at the expense Of blooms. How
ever, flowers should be cut with sharp
shears, never torn from the plant.
Never cut the flowers Of the wax
plant unless you. wish no further
blooms. Its flowers are produced in
exactly the same "eye" each time, and
If this eye is removed no more flowers
will develop.
Weak liquid manure is just the slim
ulant most flowers need when they
bloom. Do not stint them in this re-
spect.
Another aid to the profusion of flow
ers is plenty Of water.
The dust mulch in time of drought is
beneficial when water is scarce.
No matter what the calendar says,
do not plant your tube roses out Of
doors too early in the spring.
Protect the toad. He is the garden
er's friend.
Mulch sweet peas by sowing seeds
of any Of the iow-growing ANIMALS
along the pea trenches and thereby
extend their blooming season.
Do not try to grow flowers or vege-
tables too thickly on the ground. Thin
out with liberal hand, and give each
sufficient space to develop naturally.
If the lawn shows bald spots, or
looks shabby, scatter about guano be-
fore a shower.

INDIANS RICHES GROW
Income Of Members Of Usage
Tribe Is Increased.
Fortune Smiles on Oklahoma Red Men.
Already Known as WeaIthiest Peo-
81, pie, Per Capita, In World.

Some of Uncle Sans wards-thA
Usage Indians--who have been noted
as the wealthiest people, per capita,
in the world, have become still richer.
BY new arrangement between the
Indians and oil operators, the average
annual income OF more than 1000 al
lotted Osages, will be increased from
between 5000 and $500 per annum, to
something between 5000 and $1,000 per
annum. The per capita wealth OF
these Indians Is estimated by the In
dian Office at about $4,000. The new
leases are for period of five years,
but may run until the year 1881 pro-
vided oil and gas continue to be found
in paying quantities. .%
The 6SO,OO0 acres Of land involved
was held under the Poster lease" by
about 100 sub-lessees in areas ranging
from 40 to 100000 acres. Under this
lease the tribe received oneeghth roy
atty on the oil produced
As the result of extended public
hearings conducted by Secretary Lane
with Oil operators, sub-lessees and all
other interested parties, the making Of
thorough investigations by government
agents, and conferences with the
tribal council Of the Indians, new oil
leases have been granted to sub
lessees covering their former holdings,
not exceeding 1880 acres each, and
aggregating about 100000 acres, of
which about 10000 acres by quarter
section units is subject to rental Of
one dollar per year until drilled, leav-
ing about 100000 acres of the old lease
to be leased for oil in the future.
The Osages will receive under the
new oil leases one-sixth royalty from
wells producing less than 100 barrels
per day and one-tifth royalty from
wells producing 100 or more barrels
daily; also a rental of one dollar per
acre per year on each 100 acres Of I'M
developed land. Furthermore, as q
result Of the recent sales at public
auction of about 5000 acres of the
producing lands formerly held by op-
orators on which producing wells aver
age less than five barrels of oil per
day and 1,76O acres on which the wells
average over rs barrels per day on
each 100 acre tract, there was realized
cash bonuses aggregating about 49,
233, 900, in addition to the stipulated
royalties.
Former gas leases covering the same
land embraced $4,000 acres. New gas
leases cover about 100000 acres. Un-
der former gas leases, the tribe re-
ceived 500 per annum for each gas
we'll in service which aggregated
about $4,000 annually AS a result
of conferences between gas men and
the secretary, the tribe will receive I'M
der new gas leases a minimum royalty
Of cents per thensan1 cph.zsAffet
measured at or mar ythe weiis, wfiecns
royalty it Is expected will aggregate at
least 100000 annually. !
It is therefore estimated that the
annual income to the Usage tribe I'M
der new oil and gas leases, based on
the same production US during the past
year, will aggregate at least $500, 900,
in addition to the $3,233,0OO received
in cash at recent sales, as against
about 100000 heretofore received an
nually under the old lease. /

Thousands and thousands of trees
are killed every year by planters al
lowing the roots to become dry, and the
nursery man from whom they are pur-
chased Is condemned for the careless
ness Of the purchaser.
A stake should be set where each
tree or shrub is to be planted, and the
name may be written on, the stake. Dig
the holes carefully and Of ample size,
so the roots may assume natural po-
sitlon in their new location. Put the
top soil around the roots and the bal
ance on the surface.
Before the stock Is set out prune the
branches back from third to half
of last seasons growth, so the tree
will be able to thrive less the roots 1t
has lost through its removal from the
spot where it originally grew. Cut off
the ends Of all bruised roots, leaving a
clean, smooth cut.
Set the trees 50 they will be as deep
as they stood in the nursery. The
feeding roots are near the surface
therefore. too deep planting is injuri'
GUS. Dwarf pears and budded roses
should be set with the bud two inches
below the surface.
Work the soil well in around the
roots, and as soon as the roots are
covered tramp down the soil with the
feet and gently pour in pail of water,
and second and third pail If the soil
is dry, until the soil is thoroughly
moistened. Wait until the water has
soaked in and then fill up the hole.
Do not plant trees on land that has
been cut down by grading and filled
in with earth from a cellar and ex-
pect them to grow.
