FOREST FIRES.

Tbers Are Three Kinda. Of Which the
Grown" Fire Is the Worst.
There are three kinds of forest fires
the surface fire." which merely runs
In the leaves and ground litter; the
"ground fire." that covers the under
brush Of the dense forests, and the
'crown fire." the most dangerous and
terrifying of all. A crown fire is usu-
ally caused when the ground or surface
flre reaches the top of ridge or knoll,
and the increased draft carries the
blaze up the trunks Of the trees to the
tops Of the crowns" 1t is the crown
fires which have made the great forest
fires Of history.
Surrounding the burning area by q
trench from which everything down to
the mineral soil has been removed is the
only kind of fire fine which will stop
q ground fire, and 1t will often stop a
surface fire. For surface fire whip
ping" or using brush branches or water
soaked sacking to whip the burning
leaves at the edge Of the fire back into
the burned area Is most effective. Sand
as well as water is valuable In fighting
this kind of fire too.
There is only one way to fight a
crown fre-that is, by "backfrlng"-
lighting fire with fire. This method is
extremely dangerous, consisting Of set.

BAD HABITS OF POSTURE.
They Lead to Deformity and Chronic
Disease if Not Corrected.

They Lead to Defornity and Chronic
Disease If Not Corrected.
The Significance of the postures habi-
tually assumed by individuals Is the
subject of serious consideration by
physicians at present. Exhaustive in
vestigatiOns seem to indicate pretty
cOncluslvely that bad postures, such as
STOPPING shoulders, contracted chests
or Observation-Disclosures, are not merely
the result Of careless habits In the
individual, but are due to some slight
physical deformity which should be
corrected. Generally speaking, persons
who have bad posture habits are not
very robust.
Every one has observed that persons
who are fatlgucd drop into bad pos
lures temporarily, and there are many
examples OF unusually robust persons
with whom bad posture is chronic.
Nevertheless, tendency to bad posture
undoubtedly adds to the trend toward
weakness and chronic disease, partic-
ularly In individuals who are not nat
urally rugged.
The robust child or the adult who
takes an adequate amount of recrea-
tlon from work does not usually fall
into had habits In sitting or standing;
In fact, he Is able to combat the cOndi-
tlon Of study and work which make
for bad posture. The less robust child
and tho ovcrworked or too sedentary
adult, on the other hand, are obliged
to make persistent efforts to nvoid bad
posture habits, And, although these
habits may have no very detrimental
effect upon the general health during
childhood, they are likely to result In
chronic diseases later In life Ms n result
of the anatomical deformities pro-
duced.-Exchange.

HARVESTER FIRM
PLANS FOR YEAR
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY IDA
HOS" TO BE BUILT BY LOCAL
FACTORY THIS YEAR

More than $50 machines will be man
ufactured by the Idaho National Har-
vester company next year, according
to report submitted to the stock
holders of the company by G. z. Mix,
manager at a meeting held at the
company's offices Tuesday. This is
practically the capacity of the plant.
The company has purchased large
supply of material in anticipation of
the coming season. SO that operations
the past year through the shortage of
raw materials and lack of transport
tation.
Last years experience taught US"
that it is also advisable to extend
our field of operation and selling to
every part of the United States where
combining can be SUCCESSFULLY used, as
we found in some of the territories
where we were expecting. and had
right to expect, considerable business,
the shortage of crops was such that
we received no business. This Is par
ticularly true of California We
should this year put a carload Of ma
chimes in Colorado and probably one
or two carloads in Texas. having suf-
ficient calls from there already to
lead us to believe that we can make
the sales and that the countries are
particularly adapted for combining.
THE past year as far as harvesting |
machine companies were concerned, |
was very disappointing. We suffered
with all others to some extent. Nine |
teen fifteen was year of greatest |
acreage and the biggest crops the |
country has ever seen. AS result |
the people stocked up generously with |
harvesting machinery, or at least |
bought enough to handle this great |
acreage Last year found this acre
age cut ojust about half and the
prospects were most disappointing for
crops in all the early season, in fact,
we had practically no sales until after
the first of July, while in 1915 we had
all of our machines sold and were re-
fusing orders by that time.
THE increase in assets in 1916 over
1915 is not nearly as large as of 1915
over 1914, on account of the curtailed
output. 1t is gratifying to me at this
time to be able to show in the face of
the most unsatisfactory year possible
some gain in our assets over the pre-
yious year, and should put us in shape
to make much better showing next
year.
we show on hand now in mate
rial, finished and unfinished, more
than 100000 worth and this is all
paid for These materials were in
voiced at the cost to us and at the
present time are worth considerably
more"
A new field has opened up for the
machine with the development of the
pea industry, Mr. Mix states, and ex-
planning the method of handling the
crop with the Idaho. he says:
ne most satisfactory WHY SeeillS 10
be 10 NOV the peas and shock them in
the usual way, and then thresh them
with an Idaho as stationary rig.
Ranchers can in this way cut their
wheat and oats and also handle their
peas with their own force. The very
expensive methods of threshing peas
with the big machines will thus be ov-
eroome.'
