ANNUAL WOOD WASTE.
Estimated at 100000 Cords or L..
5OO.OOO.OOO Cubs Feet.

There are more than $4,000 sawmills
in the United States, ami their output
of waste in the form of sawdust,
shavings, slabs, and other wood refuse
is estimated at 100000 cords per
year. This is equal to over 100000
coo cubic feet of waste, which is the
capacity of bin one-half mile high
with base covering a 40-acre lot. Or,
considering each cord to contain so
cubic feet of solid wood with all the
cracks and air spaces taken out, these
36, 5000 900 cords would make block
of wood more than a quarter of mile
on each edge.
Perhaps one-half of this 9o-called
waste product is not strictly speaking
wasted, but serves n useful purpose as
fuel under the boilers. Much of the
remaining 18,000,000 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 var
| ious WAYS. Some goes to the local
| fuel market, some to pulp mills or to
wood distillation plants. Shavings
| and hog cuttings. rs well as other mill
waste, are sometimes used to fill low
J places in the yard. However the most
! common method of getting rid Of waste
is by burning either in q fre-pit hay
! ing an open fire which sometimes has
a protecting wall on the side toward
the mill. or in a burner enclosed on
all sides and having a spark arrestine
screen at the top and a fire CRATE neal

Answers


In these days of war, the creates.
brains of the world are vying with
one another in establishing records for
newer and more invincible ways of
killing.
The principal Powers Of the world
are in a death-grip; every corner of
Europe resounds to the clash of arms
or, to be more up-to-date, the bursting
Of shells. What science can DO to help
in the terrible work is being done by
every seientist-save one.
There is one man whose name stands
out amid the conflict for what he has
done to save life. While others de-
stroy, he preserves.
And this man is Chevalier Marconi
who invented and perfected the won
derful - wireless telegrophy. To him
| belongs the credit of saving life all
over the world, since to his great in
vention thousands of people owe their
rescue from maritime disaster.

= is still short. As recently as 1899
messages were first sent from England

he had mastered carried greetings be
tween Canada and England.

power of saving life from the sea.

BREAD FOR GERMAN SOLDIERS.
Less Grain Needed by 10000 Tons -
Does 1t Mean Shorter Rations?

According to the statement of the
president of the Imperial grain board
as quoted in a despatch from Amster-
dam, Ito Germany s reserve of 10000
tons of grain must bo added 10000
tons representing the decreased con-
sumption of the army.'
This statement is a little blind but
significant. There are questions which
might be asked about it which. if
answered, would give a line on many
doubtful points, one being the actual
loss in men killed in the present war.
What part in the army ration does
grain play2 How many men maintain
cd at the front does 10000 tons OF
grain mean? Has the soldier s ration
been cut down?
Heretofore Germany has not beer
unmindful of the old military maxim
that Fan army marches on its stom
ach that fighting and feeding &C
hand in hand. Whatever restriction,
may have been placed upon the civil
ian population it has been taken 70
granted that the army ration had no
suffered.
Possibly, however in an effort t.
pro7itiate the gaunt spectre of famin
which stalks behind the German lines
llit SOibltt : ldblbI il'tt bttli lttkttth
But no mere reduction in he ration
would account for 10000 tons of grain
There must also be a great reductio
in the number of those who have here
toforc consumed the ration. We ma
lie sure 10000 tons of grain repre-
SCENTS the sustenance of a great numbc
of soldiers, and if the reduced cor
sumption of the army amounts to tina
number of tons, the army itself mus
be greatly reduced.
The statement of the president {

mentary Tapping of the curtain, iu.

gives us a fleeting glimpse Of the awfr
} price in human lives which German
! has already paid for her ambition

Vermont VS. New Hampshire.
{ Manchester Union.

The Burlington Free Press is dissat-
isfied with the degree of popularity
ATTAINED by the scenic attractions of
Vermont. 1t takes the people of the
Green Mountain state to task for their
lethargy in the matter of development
and publicity OF those attractions, ana
then-what do you think? 1t has the
nerve to insinuate that, if Vermonters
had the get-up-and- get that New
Hampshire people have, the lakes and
rivers and mountains on the west side
of the Connecticut would be made as
popular as those of New Hampshire!
As if any amount of hustling on the
part of the populace could make any
state on earth as attractive as New
Hampshire! In the course of a long
editorial on the subject, the Free Press
says:
Now what are we doing under
such circumstances to improve our
situation? We are depending large
ly upon outside capital and effort
and energy to extend electric or
other means Of transportation to
the very feet of our mountains.
We are asking the railroads to
add to the work they have already
done in our behalf in advertising
our mountain attractions by pro-
viding Accommodations for visitors.
We have only to compare this sit
uation with what the people of
New Hampshire themselves have
done for their summer resorts to
understand why we are not reap
ing the summer visitor harvest
| which should be ours.
This inertia on our part is all
the more inexcusable when we
consider the advantages we have
over the people Of the Granite
state in many ways. Take the is
lands of Lake Champlain, for an
example, If those natural resorts
were brought under the New
Hampshire plan of treatment,
there would he great summer ho-
tells along their shores today, and
j ! Burlington would be the gate to
one of the most unique summer re
sorts In America. There is moth
ing else just like it anywhere in
t the United States. 4 ride through
I the islands is railroad ride on
water, or sail on land, just as
YOU prefer to call it.
; There may be something to it. T;
T. be it from US to deny that New Ham
E shire people are the most enterprise
people in the world. There is no que
ton about the popularity Of Ne
Hampshire SCENERY, nor about t
part which development and publici
have played in promoting that pop
larity; but the fact remains that t
scenery of New Hampshire is uniq
in this part of the country, if not
this part of the world, and no 9th
5 scenery on the face of the globe c'
I be converted into New Hampshi
e scenery. We wish the Free Press ST

J. ers to a realizing sense of their {

counties respectively would agree to
make the assessment uniform in their
several counties and throughout the
state upon the same basis as agreed
upon and adopted for the 1915 as
sessment, that is, upon a basis of
fifty per cent of the true cash value of
all assessable property, the commits
sion would not object to the assess
ment for 1916 being made upon such
basis.
This, / think, should meet with the
approval of every tax assessor in
Florida, and am therefore writing to

mediately whether or not you will
agree to carry out and be governed by
such basis in making the 1916 assess

Uniformity in the assessment of all
