Treating of Poles.

According to information compiled
recently by the government forest
service, 1O2 treating plants, operating
throughout the United States, report
a total of $500 poles treated in 1915
This is estimated to be about one-half
the actual number subjected to treat
ment, since large number given brush
treatment are not reported. The prin-
cipal preservative used was creosote
oil, and the average absorption was
about II pounds per cubic foot. About
50 per cent of the poles treated were
yellow pine, while western red cedar
and Douglas fir largely made up the
remainder.

To Cut Bread Cost in Two.

Washington.-"We will reduce the
Scent loaf of bread to cents" This
was the declaration made by the Ma
tional Association of Bakers after a
conference with Herbert G. Hoover,
food administrator. This organiza-
tion of countrywide affiliation also
voted a war chest of 100000 and ex-
poets through it's $50 agencies to cut
the cost of bread almost in two: To
obtain this result the bakers have
arranged to eliminate waste. One of
the first steps will be to standardize
the loaf. There will be no more
fancy" breads and there will be no
more returns.

.aryship of the livestock and agricul-
tural bureau of the Denver Civic and

attention of the housewives upon the
need for preserving all the perishable
goods possible for the winter.
The first will probably be cherry

weeks will correspond as nearly as
possible with the time of season when
the goods are the most plentiful.

members of the Civic Association,
womens organizations and railroad
representatives are being made. w.
H. Kerr, chief of the federal market
and rural organization branch in Den
yer, will be present and an attempt
is being made to obtain federal ex-
perts from Washington.
Mrs. Lucius Hallett probably will
be present to speak on canning and

serve the food resources of the state.

duced to the members of the Civic
Association at that time and the plans
for the campaign, which will have a
far-reaching benefit upon the econom-
les of the state the coming year. will
be definitely formulated.

Rio Janeiro, June 29-Brazil has
revoked her decree of neutrality in
the war between the entente allies
and Germany.
The Brazilian government, by act
o. Congress, late in May, authorized
the revocation of Brazil's neutrality in
the war between Germany and the
United States. In notifying the Bra
lillian legation of the sanction of the
revocation, Milo Pecanba, the foreign
minister, in a note, said Brazil up to
that time had refrained from taking
sides in the European conflict but
that the republic could not remain in
different from the moment the United
gle for the rights of the people, and
when Germany meted out indiscrimi-
nately to Brazil the most brutal treat
ment.
A dispatch from Rio Janeiro June 9
said diplomatic exchanges with repre-
sentatives of the entente powers were
in progress and that political results
might be expected shortly. 1t was
added that war ships of the entente
would be permitted to visit Brazilian
ports without adhering to time limits
imposed by neutrality.
The Hague.-In a speech from the
throne at the opening of the extraor-

revision of the provisions of the con-
Btitution dealing with suffrage and
education, said
at is for the States General to de-
eide whether the work thus begun
shall be completed. No other measures
will be submitted to you.
THUS you will be able to devote
your full attention to the questions
arising from the war and preparations
for the vigorous development of our
country after the conclusion of peace.
"Our relations with foreign powers
are favorable. There are many rea-
sons for gratitude, but let us not for
get that so long as the war wages,
dangers threaten the country and the
people may again be called upon to
use their utmost strength for liberty
and independence. That God may
guard them is my earnest prayer"
