ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF

Know All Men by these Presents:

purpose do hereby adopt Articles Of
Incorporation as follows:

WOOD VERSUS COAL.

Persons who plan to relieve the
coal shortage this winter by burning
wood can figure, roughly speaking,
that two pounds of seasoned wood
have a fuel value equal to one pound
OF coal, according to the tests made
by the U. S. forest service.
For such woods as oak, mesquite
or pitchy pine, one cord, weighing
about 1000 pounds, is required to
equal one ton of coal.
For such woods as ordinary pine,
ordinary pinon or Douglas fir, cord
and half weighing about 5000
pounds per cord, is required to equal
one ton of coal.
For cedar, aspen or spruce, two
cords Weighing about 1000 pounds
per cord, are required to equal ton
of coal.
Ii, for instance, coal costs SO and
cedar can be had, cut up and ready
| for use, for $3.50 per cord, it would
/
hand if cedar costs $3.50, it would
not pay.
In some cities wood is sold by
weight, cut up and ready to use.
Where this is the case, comparison of
fuel value is very simple. If coal
costs $40 ton it would pay to burn
any kind of wood obtainable at less
than SIS per ton.
! Resin affords about twice as much
! heat as wood. SO that resinous woods
have greater heat value per pound
! than non-resinOus woods.
! The available heat value of wood
depends on the amount OF moisture
present When wood is green, part
Of the heat is taken up in evaporat-
| ing the water
Cords vary as to the amount of
solid wood they contain, even when
they are of the standard dimensions
and occupy 12S cubic feet of space.
The air space may be considerable
in cord of twisted, crooked, and
inotty sticks. A fair average OF solid
wood is about 80 cubic feet per cord.
This, however, applies to the stan
dard cord, in which the sticks are cut
to four-foot lengths and piled feet
high and 5 feet long. Most people
nowadays have the sticks cut into
one or two-foot lengths. The pur-
I chaser should take care to see that
| he gets full measurement when wood
is bought in this way.
Where wood is to be burned in a
stove or furnace intended for coal,
it will be found desira BILE, the forest
ers say, to cover the CRATE partly
with sheet-iron or fire-brick, in order
to reduce the draught, avoid too
rapid consumption, and prevent
damage to the firebox

FOOD FROM THE COTTON FIELDS

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov 4.---There
has been some degree Of complaint
that the great acreage of cotton in
. the Salt River valley has been made
possible by the sacrifice Of alfalfa
sand wheat fields, there being an as
sumption that the food supply of the
nation thereby has been cut down.
This is not wholly true. Possibly an
real food value as an acre OF alfalfa
A local expert has figured out the
value of cotton as food, from sew
eral standpOints. In the case of an
acre that produces a bale of lint cot
ton or 500 pounds, from 1900 pounds
of seed cotton, there would be left
t 1900 pounds of seed, in itself repre-
senting the average return in pounds
from wheat field. A ton of seed
cotton has 900 pounds of cottonseed
meal and milk, 500 pounds of hulls,
constituting excellent feed, when
mixed, and 800 pounds of cottonseed
oil. Roughly speaking there will be
produced about 200 pounds of oil to
food OF the highest value, from it
coming most of the salad OIL in
substitution for olive oil, and most
Of the shortening used by housewives
substituted for lard. 1t also is used
Tor the making of soap and in a hun
dred similar manufactures. The ex~
ports OF cottonseed oil to Europe dur
ing the past year aggregate 266, ,529,-
$50 pounds, compared with $4,000
900 pounds the previous year OF
meal was exported l,057,92l, ,56l
pounds compared with 257,947, 900
the previous year.
The seed and hulIs here will be
fed to cattle this winter. A new use
has been found in the fattening of
sheep for the market. The cotton
seed has been demonstrated as hay
ing twice the food value of corn
The cotton itself is very material
addition to the military supplies Of
the nation. Most OF the local Egyp-
tian cotton will go to the making Of
either automobile tires or sewing
thread, because of its extraordinary
length and strength The tires, Of
course, are Of direct war necessity
In each ton of seed cotton, the brush
pounds OF Inter cotton, used for the
manufacture Of gun cotton. The
substitution of cotton for alfalfa is
raising the price of milk, but the net
effect on the food supply of the ma
tion is negligible

National monument, in southeast
ern Utah, popularity known as the
Little Zion canyon, probably equals

visitors have called it "the desert
Yosemite" others "the mimic
Grand canyon" 1t inevitably sug-
gests both. "You can't see it with
out shouting" reports one recent
explorer.
The Mormons of a former gen.
Grafton chose this valley for a ref
uge in the event Of being driven
from Zion, IS they called Salt Lake
City, and named it Little Zion. 1t
is locally called Little Zion canyon
today. The north fork of the mud
dy Virgin river flows through it,
and in the spring streams cascade
from the lofty summit walls. Many
fine trees-ash, maple, oak, spruce
and others-grow on the valley
floor.
The CANYON is a mighty cleft, as
if the mountain had been violently
divided to obtain a segment. The
walls are inconceivably carved into
domcs, half domes, colonnades and
temples. One gigantic cliff suggests
battleship and is locally called the
steamboat.
The faces of some of the walls
contain thousands of square feet Of
plane surface upon which the ele-
ments have sketched various figures.
At one point may be seen the pic
ture of woman, a horse and pig,
forming a distinct group. At an
other an eagle perches, true to this
noble birds instinct, high upon the
cliffs. At other points crypts have
been formed in the walls by the
shelling OF of the stone surface in
which may be seen other forms
seemingly sculptured. Nature seems
to have fashioned here a fine art
gallery of stupcndous proportions.
The coloring is beyond descrip-
ton. Glistening white is the basic
color. Below this a strip of blood
red sandstone has weathered into
formations resembling those Of the
Grand CANYON. There are thou

are pinks in endless shades.

miles long and from 1900 to 1000

The Pine Of PesoA

The North American Indian usu-

stone known as red pipe stone, OF
which there were large deposits in
the old Sioux country, and the
Great Spirit is said to have given
his Endorsement to this particular
material, which might have been a
Sioux monopoly, in these words
"This stone is red. 1t is your
flesh. 1t belongs to you all. Out
of it make no more tomahawks, wal

it only to make the pipe Of peace
and smoke therefrom when you
would propitiate me and do my
