CON Ell EJERCITO AMERICANA
EN- FRANCIA, Diciembre 24.-Una
de las muchas costumbres que han
nacido al calor de la actual guerra,
es la de la "adopci6n" de soldados
por senoritas y sehoras de distintos
paises.
La adopcion, no tiene en- este ca
so los resultados ordinarios de tales
hechos. Consiste solamente N a al
joven que combate en- las Erlacheras,
Ia noci6n de que lejos de e., hay al
guien que 10 q~uiere, q lie desea
exito, que lie escribe fsa:uentemente
para recordarle que no esta absolute
mente solo en- su gran esfuerzo por
ia patria, que lie envia regalos que
son clara muestra del LELAND carino
de algu;en que, sin conocerle, Sc in
teresa por el y por su suerte.
Esta formula romantica de forta-
leccr el amino dc los soldados Y dar-
les un grato Y espiritual halago du-
rante la vida militar, hoy mas aza-
rosa y dura que nunca, habia seduci-
do a las mujeres, Y Sc coptaban por
mi'larcs las que los habian adopta.
do, las que Sc llamaban y Sc llaman
"madrinas de guerra"
Pues bien: Ia cosa que en- I'm prin.
, c:pio pareci6 inocente, no 10 fue
tanto a Ia postre, por 10 cual ell ejer-
otto americana suprimir& probable
mente "ias madrinas de guerra"
porquc, aunque parezca impossible,
emperczan III poquitillo las opera
clones.
Es tel la cantidad de cartas que
las madrinas escriben a sus ahijados
en- los campamentos americanos de
Francia, que ell servicio postal Sc ha
d~!flcIltado grandemente, y aun esta
congestion de c~artas, Sc ha traduci-
do Ell lamentables retardos para
otras interesantes comunicaciones So

AdemaS, hay ina prescription que
prohibe a los soldados tener CORES

cousin, Madge BOyce, regarded her
with mingled mystery and surprise.
And you told him, MOP"
Yes" voiced Greta, half audibly.
And you meant 'yes'?" softly in
timated Madge.
yes, I did, and I'm sorry for it!'
burst forth Greta unrestrainedly.

Then why"
But Greta had broken down utter

shoulder of her confidante and was
sObbing as though her heart would
break.
"WeI, I declare!' murmured Miss
Boyce, older and, therefore, wiser
than Greta and half guessing at the
truth.
This came out in detail, as Greta
partially recovered her cOmposure.
She had a friend, girl chum, as her
visiting friend knew-Norma Earle.
Well then, she had confessed her
preference to. Norma in a letter and
had told her that she was sure that
Wade GriscOm was on the verge of
a proposal Norma had written her
in reply, giving advice. It was to the
effect that no girl should let a man
think she was to be easily won.
Therefore, keep him on the string
and try him out"
And so, I followed her advice"
mourned Greta, "and the strange
way that Mr.. GriscOm acts haunts !

Ned coming on the scheme, but Mr.. |
GriscOm just chUckIed. He looked |
at me so strangely! Do you suppose"

had never seen GriscOm, nor did she
know that as they cut across a va

GriscOm lived. An upper window
was open and the apartment was
flooded with light. Greta uttered a
subdued cry and Madge had to quite

Forest Notes

Investigations by the Forest
 Products Laboratory. at Madi- son. Wisconsin, have resulted in
 the use of spent tanbark in the
 manufacture of asphalt shingles to the extent of 160 tons per week. The value of the bark has been thereby increased from 60 cents to $2. 50 per ton.
 There were cut from the Ma tionaI Forests in the fiscal year 1916 GOA, 92O, GOO board feet of timber. Of this amount 119,- 483, 900 board feet was cut under free use privilege. In all, 10.840 sales of timber were made, of which 97 per cent were under $1O0 in value.
 It is estimated that in 1915 about 40, 900 forest fires occurred in the United States, which burned oyer about 5, 900, 900 acres and caused a damage of appro- ximately ST. .000, ,000.
 Revised estimates place the amount of standing merchant able timber in the United States at approximately 2.767 billion board feet, or 53 per cent of the total, is in California. Washing ton. Oregan. Idaho and Montana.
 Tests at the Forest Products Laboratory, at Madison. Wiscon- sin, indicate that by the use of four additional nails in each end an increase of 300 per cent in the strength of canned-food boxes is secured.
 Approximately 10. 390 acres of denuded lands within the Ma tional Forest were reforested in the fiscal year 1916. The total number of trees planted was G. 148, ,637, while 8.280 pounds of tree seed were sown.
 The number of fires suppress ed on National Forest lands dur ing the calendar year 1915 was 6, ,324. as agalnst 7,018 in 1914. The average loss per fire was S6O.41. Forty four per cent of the fires were confined to areas of less than one-quarter of an acre.
 There were 133, 442 more cat tie and horses, and 6O5, 338 more sheep and goats using the Ma tional Forests in 1916 than in 1915.

More Wafer!

Earl Patterson, son of MT. and Mrs. J. B. Patterson, of San Der nardino, Cal, arrived in the city last week. We are informed that Earl will have charge of the St. Johns Water Works, and that it will be his special duty to be on the job constantly to see that the water does not go to waste or that it is not used for purposes for which it is not intended. We are further informed that a new system of meters are to be in- stalled and that those using the water will be charged for what they use.
 The spring which furnishes the water for St. Johns flows 6480 gallons daily and figures show that about 5000 gallons are used by the people of the town daily. thus there is a surplus of 480 gallons, which, if properly cared for would soon fill a good storage tank so that there never would be a shortage.
