Out Of the Mouths Of Kids.

'T understand you were punished in
school yesterday, Thomas?" said Mr..
Bacon to his twelve-year- boy.
YES sir" promptly replied the
truthful Thomas. TT was for telling
the truth, sir"
your teacher said it was for some
reflection on her age"
That's the way she took 1t, faith
err. You see, she drew a picture Of a
basket of eggs on the blackboard, and
while she was out of the room just
wrote under them, The hen that made
these eggs isn't any chicken"

DARING TIE CUTTER
BRAVES DEATH DAILY

SEWARD, Alaska, Nov. 30.-Carry-
ing railroad ties on ones shoulder
over an eight-inch foot-log across
canyon thirty feet wide with $50 feet
af vacant space between the log ana
a rock-torn mountain torrent at the
dark bottom sounds like the spectacu-
lar stunt of a circus performer but in
point of fact it is the daily practice of
Edward Martin, tie-chopper who
lives at Grow Creek Pass on the new
government railroad.
Martin has a permit from the For
est Service to use timber on the north
side of Devils Gulch to make ties for
the railroad, but the railroad requires
that ties be delivered on the right OF
way, and to do this the gulch has to
be crossed. For this purpose, Martin
felled a small spruce tree from brim
to brim, and when he finishes tie,
shoulders it and packs it over.
A party of hunters appeared upon
the scene a few days since, and not
daring to attempt the frail crossing
themselves, asked Martin why in the
name of all possessed he di dnot fell
a safe footlog across the stream, ana
not risk his life in so reckless a man
ner. To which the tie-cutter replied
that for his purposes an eight-inch log
was a good as an eight-foot log, and
besides, the fact that the thing IN
volved an element of danger or risk
never occurred to him, or he might
have felled a larger tree to bridge the
canyon. Should Martin loss his bal
arce in crossing and fall he would in
evitably be killed by striking the rocks
or be swept away to death by rush
ing waters in the dark chasm far be-

FOREIGN TRADE IN CHEESE
REVOLUTIONIZED BY THE WAR

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. &c.
The war has revolutionized the coUn-
trys' foreign trode in cheese accord
ing to a statement issued today by
teh Bureau of Foreign and Doemstic
Commerce of the Department of
Commerce During the fiscal year
1914, the last year before the war, the
United States bought 69,S00,000 pounds
of cheese from Europe-26,500, 000
pounds from Italy, 100000 pounds
from Switzerland, 100000 pounds
from France, 100000 pounds from
Holland, and smaller amounts from
other countries. In August of this
year, exactly 9opunds of European
cheese avs imported. 1t came from
Italy. In September only 1922 pounds
came from Europe.
While Europe is wisely retaining
this most valuable food for her own
pressing needs Argentina has turned
to cheese-making on large scale and
is now placing important quantities i'll
the United States. In August this
year she delivered 448,000 pounds in
this country, and in September 279, 500
pounds. These figures do not APP
proach the imports from Europe be-
fore the war, but they are interesting,
in view of the fact that during the
entire year 1916 not single pound OF
cheese came from Argentina to the
United States.
More cheese is being exported than
imported. In SEPTEMBER 100000
pounds was sold abroad and was dis
tributed to more than fifty countries
England took the bulk of it, 100000
pounds; Cuba, 100000 pounds, and
Mexico $4,000 pounds

Why is a RaindrOp Round!

You have seen little insects dart
about on pond as if water were so
much solid glass through which it
was as impossible for them to sink
as for us to fall through stone pave
ment. The water is covered with a
skin-not the tangible Shiny scum
that we associate with stagnant pools,
but a surface with a stretch in it
Surface tension" in the parlance OF
the physicist.
Place a fine steel needle on for"-
ed piece of wire and lower it gently
in a horizontal position on the sur
face of a basin of water. 1t Will
float, but it will not be wet 1t viii
rest on the tense surface as it would
rest on a table. Once the tense skin
is broken and the metal is wetted
the needle will sink.
When a drop of water is freely sus-
pended in the air this skin" being
stretched, seeks to shrink to the small
est area. like so cub stretched rubber
But it cannot shrink in volume be-
cause water is practically incompre-
hensible Hence it can only force the
water into shallow which will have
the smallest surface area. IN all vu1-
umes the sphere has the smallest sur
face area. Therefore the tense skin"
OF the drop, in striving to relax, forms
sphere, and thus makes a raindrop

LIMIT MANUFACTU RE
Of NON-ESsENTIALS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. = Rapid
steps toward the curtailment of non
essential industries have been taken
within the last few days. Realizing
the necessity for developing the ma
TONS energy to the supply of wal
material and the equipment of botn
the military forces and the civlliad
population so far as to get the best
war service out of them, officials OF
the government have warned the in
dustrial interests that the time has
come to eliminate unnecessary pro-
duction and commerce.
The Council of National Defense ia
to create Bureau of Manufacturing
Resources, the personnel~~of which
will be announced soon. The cur
tailment of business will be gradual,
and because of the large percentage
of business already devoted to war
work, there is little chance of a panic.
OmclalS declared tOudy.
In line with this police the fuel adl
ministration and the War Industries
Board today took up the matter OF
supplying coal only to the more neces-
sary industries and arranging shilS
ments so that they will have priority
over the less important manufactur-
ers.
A list of articles classed as COM
paratively unimportant to the nation
and its business has been drawn III
by the American Railways Associa-
tons Emergency Bureau here and
submitted to the War Industries
Board with recommendation that an
embargo be declared upon them, So
as to give right of way to more neces-
sary articles.
The list is believed to contain such
articles as furniture, jewelry, candy,
automobiles decorative metals and
other articles classed as luxuries, but
no indication of it's contents could be
procured from higher railway Of
ficials.
Citing down the non-essential in
dustries will be brought about grad
ally. one plan considered is to notify
certain industries that at the end OF
ninety days they must prepare to cur
tail production 25 per cent. After a
period of six months they again would
be required to cut from % to 40 per
cent, and further curtailment probably
wiuld not be askeduntil absolutely
demanded by the national needs.
Every opportunity will be given the
larger concerns to divert the activities
of their organizations so that millions
of people will not be thrown out Of
work. The transformation will operate
so that labor will not be unjustly af.
fected,

RIGHT FIRING KEEPS
COAL COSTS DOWN

Has the cold weather sent the coal
bill up and the temperature Of the
house down? 1t is a good time to
waste coal now, according to J. L.
Mowry of the division of agricultural
engineering, University Farm, St.
Paul, and little mixture of brains
and coal will keep a warmer house
and a smaller coal bill.
Stocking a furnace, Mr. Mowry says
in bulletin on house heating, is ar
art. There. were three cases of firing
in St. Paul last month which he
cites as examples of the difference ir
eGst between sensible and non-sensi
'ble heating. One brought in coa1
bill of SAT, another one of $36 anc
the third one of only SIG. The last
house was equally warm with the O.
ther two. In it's case, however, the
coal was fired, in the others it was
dumped in.
In firing, Mr.. Mowry says, add as
small an amount of coal each time
as possible and fire often. Don't
cover the bed of live Goals entirely
but leave a small hole through which
enough heat can go to fire the gases
as they distill off from the new coal
gases that go up the chimney are
lost. Keep the CRATES clean and clea,
of clinkers, and use slice-bar tt
prevent a tendency to cake at the
bottom of the fire.
The difference between proper fir
ing and improper firing is not a mat
ter of more heat on a cold day. L
is a matter of a reasonable coal bill
on the first of the month.

IS RUSTY STRAW
A GOOD STOCK FEED

Is rusty straw safe or desirable
stock food? The general teaching
for many years has been that blights
rusts, smuts, etc., are all harmful
and likely to produce abortions and
other troubles. Actual experience
and some research work, however,
show that this statement is far too
general.
There can be no question concern
ing the undesirability of mouldy hay,
straw, grain, or ensilage, on account
Of the well-known forage poisoning
of horses and cattle, but quantities
Of corn smut have been fed in exper-
mental work, without evident harm,
though this does not prove that un-
der other circumstances smut may
not be injurious. Stock seems some
times actually to prefer straw in the
black rust stage and eat it readily,
yet the same stock may appear to
dislike straw in the red rust stage,
possibly because more dusty.
We think that the farmer would
be quite justified in the cautious
feeding of rusty straw. On the gen
eral principles, and in view Of some
uncertainty, it would be better not
to use rusty straw for female hea-
Wy with young, though even in such
case it might do no harm. There
is little positive information avail
able. The writer would greatly ap-
preciate reports of actual exper-
ience.-M. H. Reynolds, chairman,
