A movement is on foot to have the principal streets of Ozark oiled during the summer months and the proposition is practically assured.

BREAD COSTS HALF BILLION
Huge Sum Spent Annually in United
States for Staff of Life and 9th
er Bakery Supplies.

The people of the United States
spend approximately half billion dol
lars for bread and other bakery sup
plies every year in addition to the
cost of that which is made at home.
The value of the bread, biscuit, crack
ers and other bakery supplies made in
the United States in 1914 was $491,-
$4,000, an increase of 23.9 per cent
as compared with the output in 1909.
These figures, taken from the census
of 1914, have just been made public
by Uncle Sam.
According to the census figures
there were 25,963 establishments de-
voted exclusively to the manufacture
of bread and other bakery supplies
and these establishments gave employ
ment to 172,6S2 persons In 1914. The
capital invested in the business in
1914 amounted to $271 ,262 900, an in
crease of 27.4 per cent as compared
with the amount invested In 1909.

POPULARITY OF UKULELE
KEEPING HAWAIlANS BUSY
Manufacturers Can't Meet the Demand
for This Musical Instrument in
United States.

The vogue of the Hawaiian ukulele
in the United States has resulted in
making the manufacture of that musi-
cal instrument one of the important
industries of the Hawaiian islands in
the past few months, says one of Un-
Gle Sans representatives in Honolu-
lu. AT the end of August, 1915, manu-
facturers were turning out about 500
or 600 instruments a month, while a
year later the output had been in
creased to 1,600 a month and the de-
mand from United States music deal
ers could not be met.
There are eight principal manufac-
turers of ukuleles in Honolulu, with
scattering of instruments coming
from small makers in the other
islands. Each manufacturer has
turned his small workshop into fac
tory, adding new workers and increas-
ing the plant as rapidly as possible.
A company recently was organized in
Honolulu with plans to manufacture
from 1000 to 1000 ukuleles per month
with improved machinery, the work
erS to be Hawaiians and Portuguese.
The originator of the ukulele, a
Portuguese who is now head of man
ufacturing company, is still an active
worker in his own factory, and turns
out about 700 instruments per month.
Another Honolulu firm produces about
400 q month.
The Hawaiians and Portuguese of
Hawaii claim that the instruments
made by them, especially of koa wood,
are seasoned and properly prepared.
The highest-priced products are heav-
lily beaded. The tone is one of the
most important items in the construc-
ton of the ukulele, and the Hawaiians
and Portuguese claim that this is OBJ
tanned only with the use of properly
seasoned koa wood and proper atten-
ton paid to shaving the wood and fit
ting it.
The plans of the new companies
forming, and of old factories being en-
larged, will give an output close to
5000 per month, or 10000 per year.

CREOS0TE ON THE FARM
Value Shown in Model Construct
ed for Uncle Sam.
Its Use Decreases Waste of Energy
Consumed in the Making of Too
Frequent Repairs, Is the Claim
Made for This Material.

The use of creosote for lengthening
! the period Of service of timbers on the
| farm is illustrated in small model
farm which has just been installed in
Uncle Sans forest products labora-
tory, at Madison, Wis. This model
and similar one which is being used
for exhibit purposes by the National
Lumber Manufacturers association
were made by Dean A. Schweichard
who graduated this year from the
manual arts course of the University
of Wisconsin.
The green fields and orchards sur
rounding the farm are inclosed with
fences supported by fence posts with
well-creosoted butts. Near the barn is
an open-tank treating plant, a desir-
able addition to the equipment of any
farm. 1t consists of one or more
strong makes which may be heated
either by a fire built beneath or by
steam coils If a steam boiler is avail
able. A wooden sllo with creosoted
slaves is also shown. In the local tele-
phone line which passes the farm the
poles are creosoted from the butt to a
point well above the ground line.
The porch sills, steps and the tim
bers in the bridge across the creek
have also been treated with the oil to
prevent decay which occurs most read
lily in such damp locations where there
is poor circulation of air. Even the
railroad which crosses one corner of
the pasture shows a good penetration
of creosote in the cross ties on which
the tracks are laid. The wood blocks
with which the barn is paved also
have their share of preservative treat
ment.
Although the effects of the creosote
treatments are at first sight inconspic-
uous, yet they contribute to the we'll
kept appearance of the buildings and
grounds. The general air of thrift is
the result of efficient utilization which
decreases the waste of energy con-
sumed in making too frequent repairs.

The administration realizes that
the search for Villa may be long and
difficult. There is little expectation
that Villa and his bandits will fight in
the open. Guerilla warfare is almost
certain to result, but the American
soldiers will have orders to follow
Villa, no matter where he goes. Major
General Frederick Funston will prob
ably direct the expedition if he does
not actually lead it."
This statement from Washington
raises the foremost question in the
minds Of American people today:
How long will it take to capture
Francisco Villa and his bandits?
There are three great factors in the
campaign which will determine the
answer They are:
Francisco Villa, half negro, half
Mexican, all cunning and proud

Tiger"
