NEW MATERIAL FOR ROOFING
Process Evolved by Which Waste
Bark Can Be Made 10 Take Place
Of Expensive Stock. II

%
The forest products laboratory ex-
perts, in their efforts to reduce the
amount Of waste in the lumber in
sdustry, have long declared that they
have been able to utilize everything
but the bark, just as the pork packer
is said to market everything but the
squeal of the hog according to
American Forestry.
Now they have even found way
to use the bark. By a new process
waste bark can be used to partially
replace expensive rag stock in the
manufacture of felt roofing, and is
already being used commercially by.
mills cooperating with the labora-
tory experts. The bark thus used is
that remaining after the extraction
OF the tannin for leather work, and
the same. waste bark has been used
successfully for the making of a
commercial wall paper. Expert
nents now in progress indicate that
tho helnlock bark may be used for
sheathing paper, carpet lining, bottle
wrappers and deadening felt.

ARTIFICIAL MILK.

. p j
A process has been discovered in
England for the manufacture Of arti-
fetal milk for human consumption.
1t is claimed that wholesale and
inexpensive substitute can be made
from peanuts, soy beans, sugar, wa
ter and the mineral salts found in
milk. The milk SO produced, it is
stated, may be condensed and sold
IN tins in the usual way or dried to
powder and sold in bottles. It may
be given a certain percentage Of
cream by the addition Of coconut or
one of the other tasteless nut fats.
The residual meals, rejected after
the special factors required have
been taken from them, are mixed,
dried until they contain only 10 per
cent of water, and used as food for
cattle.
As a curiosity, the amilk" thus
produced would be interesting.
Though it is questionable whether it
would prove an acceptable substi-
tute.

of organizing an Aberdeen Sioux
City Good Roads association. Rep
resentatives from commercial clubs
in towns along the route were
present. Thirteen towns were rep
resented, and communications re-
ceived from others pledging sup.
port to the movement. The pro.
posed line is to run from Aberdeen
to Sioux City along the Milwaukee
railroad, and would therefore pass
through Scotland. The member
ship in the association is to be

towns along the route, and in towns
having no clubs good roads booster
committees will be formed. Ii was

HONOR OF THE NEGLECTED.
Memcrisi Shaft, Unique in Design,
Erected at Liverpool, England,
to Unsunq Heroes.

At the Princess picrhead in Liver
pool a granite monument has been.
erected IN memory, Of the valiant
deeds OF the engine-room heroes Of.
the British navy, according to Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. In addi-
ton to the interest the memorial at
tracts as a work Of art, it is notable
for two things it is one of the very.
few shafts that.have ever been raised
anywhere in honor Of the many
courageous seagoing engineers, me-
chanics and coworkers who have
stuck to their posts in the face of
death and performed their duties
with self-sacrificing patriotism equal
to that of any soldier or sailor. The
other noteworthy point is that the
memorial is the only important
English work of its type that has
ever been executed solely in granite.
1t is 4S feet in height and consists
Of an obelisk surmounting a heavy
base, on two sides of which are sculp-
tured groups representing the differ
ent divisions in the personnel of an
engine-room staff. The other two
sides of the rectangular support
carry Inscriptions. At the corners
of the top part of the base are four
figures symbolical Of earth, air, fire
and water. Behind these figures and
supposedly supported by them is a
sea-circumscribed globe, on each
side Of the back of which flaming
sun is visible. A group of lightly
draped feminine figures, holding
wreaths, crown the shaft, which at
the apex is surrounded by a fiery
torch.

The establishment Of a republic
in Russia has abolished the worst
of autocratic governments. There
is every indication that the fell of

The overthrow Of the Romanofl
dynesty and the birth Of q republic
was the surrrising news that came
from Russia last Friday. The czai
and the duma have beeh working
at GROSS purposes for some time,
and the czar finally ordered the
suspension Of the dump. The dn.
ma did not propose to suspend and
started revolutionary movement.
The czar, finding public sentiment
against him, and the national
guard unwilling to fight in his de.
Tense, vesigned in favor of Grand
Duke Michael Alexandrovifcb, his
younger brother. The grand duke
held the position fourteen hours,
and also abdicated, thus ending
the Romanoff dynasty which has
held dominion over the country
since the fourteenth century. A
constitutional assembly has been
called and in the mean time the
ruling power is vested in the ex-
ecutive committee of the duma
and q newly chosen council OF min.
listers. We may perhaps credit the
deposed czar with good intentions,
but he is weak, and controlled by
bis advisors, many of whom we're
anscrupulous. The plan of the
executive council is to establish q
government based upon universal
suffrage, the removal Of all social,
religious and national restrictiqne,
and with liberty of speech and Of
the press. With these principles
any government is safe.

Guard?

letter from Adjutant General Nor
ris in reply to an application for
permission to organize . company
Iof national Guards at Scotland.
Gen. Morris requests that peti.
tion be sent in containing sigma
lures Of all those who are willing
Ito join. This petition should con-
tain at least 100 names, as il re-
quires IS mon TO organize. and
many who would sign probably
would not pass the examination.
Mr.. Wilcox desires TO get as many
names as possible, as the better
the showing the more likelihood
there will be of getting favorable
consideration. A meeting will be
held on Friday Of this week when
all who are willing to sign are
urged to be present. In order to
get sufficient enrolment M. Will
COX feels that it will be necessary
to get some from the farming dis
tricss, and he especially urges shat
any young men from outside Of
town who are willing to enroll
should be present. Some young
men hesitate about joining, believ.
ing that to join a national guard
is equivalent to enlisting in the
army. This ia not the case. Il is
rather a movement for prepared
ness. It does not require absence
from ones regular business, but
simply means weekly drills, and
instruction in military tactics. At
present there is very little probabll-
ity that actual service will be re-.
quired, for while war is threatening
if it comes it will be q. naval war.
fare. But preparation for ma
tional defense is essential. So far
as actual service is concerned,
every citizen between the ages of
s18 and45 is already enrolled for
military duty under our constitu-
tion, whether he will or not, sand if
war should be declared would be
subject to call. If q universal call
should be given the young man who
has had training would be at a
great advantage over the unframed,
both in the ability to care for his
own health, and in his ability to
serve effectively. The national
guard, composed as it is of all
home boys, and the drilling done
under home influences, the demor-
alizing influences that often SUR
round the soldier in the regular
army are lacking, and dignity and
manhood are developed. The ma
tional guard supplies military train
ing without cultivating the spirit
of militarism, or depriving the
member of years of the best period
of his life in military service. Then
if his country needs him he is
ready and will not have to spend
six months in drill work in some
mobilization camp before he can
60 into the field. The drilling can
be acquired without expense to
himself, as all of the equipment is
furnished by the government, and
we are informed that each member
receives 81 for each drill that he
attends.
