Use RIinht Killed rrees

Experiments with bHght-killed and
healthy chestnut trees have proved
that the wood of the blight-killed tree,
when peeled, can be used without hes
itation wherever chestnut wood Is util-
lied. Posts, poles, and ties made
from the infected wood were just as
sound after three years time as those
made from healthy wood. Foresters
declare that lumber sawed from
blight-killed trees is just as good as
that from healthy trees.

Oldest Bird Known.

The oldest bird known is called the archeopteryx. That is Greek word, which really means ancient wing." It was an extraordinary bird. It had a long tail, not all feathers as birds tail is now, but like q lizards tail, long and thick, with bones and flesh, and with feathers growing from it. It had two legs, with which 1t could walk or perch in the trees, but 1t had two other limbs like hands, which 1t probably used to climb about the trees instead of flying from bough to bough, as birds now do. It had a curious eye fitted with sort of armor shield, as the rep tiles have, and it's beak was armed with great strong teeth. There is no such bird as this now.

BEST THEATRE.

Today-Presenting Lou Tellegen ant Mary Fuller in the Famous Players production of "The Long Trail" on the Paramount program, it is felt that this stellar duo will be unusually popular with the amusements- nts-seeking public when it will be seen at the Best thea tre today.
 This photoplay was written by Eve Underwood, and this fact, coupled with the fact that the production was directed by Howard Hansel and has for it's stars two of the best known screen favorites, should moro than vouch for it's popularity.
 siAou Tellegen is seen as Andre Du- bois, the young French Canadian trap per, living in the wilds with his little sister, Michette. Mary Fuller plays Louise Graham. an orphan whose only living relative is her scapegrace broth

Looking Forward.

To refuse to be satisfied with ones accomplishments, however we'll a work has been done. or however much it is praised, is essential for real progress. When noted astronomer modestly ex- plained his triumph by saying. Ut Is because from the time I was boy. no matter what had to do. tried to do 1t little better than it had been done before." he suggested worthy purpose for everyone. For such an ideal is always looking forward: the famous man considered not so much what others had done as what he, with the benefit of others experience. could do. And when he had done well. he thought not of his past successes but of his future possibilities.

DOUBLE CAPACITY OF SALINE RIVER
 HARDWOOD co.
Installing Latest Hardwood Floor Machinery and Steam Power.

i The Saline River Hardwood com
 pany of Pine Bluff, is doubling it's ca
 pacity, which is now 65,O0O feet a day. The dry kiln battery has been
 more than doubled, five new kilns hav- ing been built, one of which has been filled and the other will be filled lat
 CT on. This gives the company dry kiln capacity of 2,O00,000 feet.
 The plant is also installing large
 engines and boilers for the purpose of
 changing the motive power from elec- i tricity to steam, though this change is not being made on account of any thing in connection with the electric
 current for service, but for the req
 son that the company has world of i fuel, which accumulates every day. and
 this must be utilized. As C. H. Mur- Iphy, manager, said, "We have a lot of fuel to get rid off," The plant is also storing the hard wood ashes, which are sold to Florida farmers at $13.50 ton. The ashes are used for fertilizer, and contain a goodly quantity of potash. Time was when the ashes were an expense to the plant, as they could not be given away.
 In addition to the engines and boil CTS that are being installed in build ing 610 feet from the factory proper, the company is installing the latest type of flooring machines built. They are Berlin milling machines, which mark a radical departure from the old style machines and turn out the high est grade of work. The old style call ed for flat work, but the new machines carry the pieces through sideways, the wood passing along the outer edge of the machine, and while making the tongue and groove, blaming, etc., the imprint "Forked Leaf" appears every eighteen inches, this being the brand of the company.
 MT. Murphy said the plant now employs sixty men in it's two plants with 200 men in the other yards and outside the factory. When the new machinery is put into operation, sixty men will be added to the force. Just at this time, the building is not 50 per cent of what is was last month, and there is very little speculative build ing, that is where houses are being built to be sold when purchaser comes along.

Fireproof Paper Possible.

Documents written on paper made from asbestos fiber, with inks prepared from the nitrates of iron and cobalt, have withstood a red heat for two hours without being damaged in any way. No damage resulted until the intensity of the heat was exposed in it for ten hours. It is expected that further experimentation and study will result in the perfection of paper and ink practically indestructible by fire.

OUTLOOK FOR oIsr,LLERs.

4 Midas Criterion, leading spokespa-
per of the whisky and wine trade, very
lsensibly tells the distillers that a pro-
hibition future does not look so dark
after all-and incidentally deals blow
to the compensation plea. We are glad
ITO pass on this optimistic view, be-
cause once assure the distillers that
they will lose no money through prohi-
bition and we shall hear no more from
them about personal liberty" Says
Midas:
"In the next five years there will be
ian average of not under 5000,0 900 motor
cars in the United States. With eight
miles to the gallon for fuel and 81
miles average per day would equal
-four gallons of fuel per day per car,
or 20,000000 gallons per day total, with
Ia total of 7,000000,000 gallons per
year. Add to this 100000 motor trucks
averaging 10 gallons per day, we would
have 1,750,000,000 gallons more, or a
total of $3.50, 100000 gallons of fuel for
the year. This would certainly tax the
capacity of every distillery in the land,
and, besides, denatured alcohol for fuel
does not require $1,10 per gallon tax

ALCOHOL AND THE SOLDIER

ALCOHOL AND THE SOLDIER,
Does the use of alcohol prevent a
man from being good soldier? Sir
Thomas Anderson Stuart, dean of the
medical faculty in Sydney, Australia,
thinks that this question is most per-
tinent one, and that it is the angle
from which nations today should dis
cuss the drink problem. He says that
alcohol does prevent a man from be-
ing good soldier and that military
men and scientists have proved it. We
quote:
"AlcOhol Is subversive of discipline,
snd robs man Of his prudence, judg-
nlent, conscientiousness and higher
morality. The development of the hui
man brain took countless years, but al
cohol works change quickly, and
brings man to the level Of beast in
a few minutes. Alcohol has also had q
great influence. on the sexual passion,
and the diseases which result are the
shame and bane Of the military au-
sthorities.
8"I have seen 400 men in one day In
one place. They all came from one
military camp, snd alcohol was the in
direct cause of all their misery. When
one man asks another, What is your
poisonT he does not know how cor
srectly in a scientific sense he is speak
ing"

TRANSFORM LIFE IN COUNTRY
Farmer Now Enjoys All City Life Ad-
vantages Through Fast Transpor-
tation--Aid to Women.

Inhabitants of cities are well ac-
quainted with the changed conditions
as result of the coming of the auto
mobile.
They realize its social advantages
as well as Its business and pleasure
achievements, but, as whole, they do
not appreciate the transformation 1t
has brought about In the rural dis
tricts, especially in relation to the
women on the farms.
The motor car has been referred to
as making life worth living, from
pleasure standpoint, for the isolated
country people.
The general use of the automobile
has given the farmer practically all
the advantages Of the city life without
taking him away from his lifelong oe>
cupati0n.
The motor car has remade the farm
er's wife and daughter. Intercommuni.
cation with neighbors and townspeople.
by means of the automobile, has given
them new lease of life. No longer
do they pass all their time In the So
clusion Of their homes.

nPERsoNAL LIBERTY"

\ When Billy Sunday was conducting
meetings in Milwaukee, he, according
to custom, sent invitations to the large
department stores and other industrial
concerns to be present on special eve
nings. Inasmuch as Mr.. Sunday always
has something forceful to say concern
ing the liquor traffic, the brewers ex-
pressed their disapproval of the whole
proceeding by asking Milwaukee bust
ness houses to forbid their employees
attending the meetings. A manager OF
one of the department stores thought
this too good to keep to himself. He
had copies of the letter printed and on
the reverse side an urgent invitation
to the meetings, with comment on the
brewers particular brand Of personal
liberty"
