Secretary of the Southern Pine
Association Brings
News

At least three good sized ship
building corporations, adequately
financed for the construction of
woodn ships, will be established in
the Gulf region within tn next 80
days by lumber interests which are
working in co-opration with the
federal shipping board. Announce

of the Southern Pine association,
who returned Sunday night from
Washington where he was in con-
ference with the shipping board.
1--WE are mobilizing the lumber in

Rhodes Monday.
AT least three large corporations
adequately financed will be announc
ed soon by the lumber interests and
it is safe to say that the Southern
and Gulf states will be well repre-
sented in the building industry.
From Mobile to Houston there will
be great activity in the construction
of wooden ships and we look for

pioneer adventures in~ California;

which the homesteaders have smart.
ed helplessly. Francis Ames a gov
eminent inspector, has been sent
out to investigate these frauds. The
homesteaders send one Of their
number to the city to see Ames, but
by the manipulations of Senator
Hoyle and the "ring" he is prevented
from doing so. He returns to tell
his neighbors of his failure, and they
not knowing that he has purposely
been kept from seeing Ames, resent
it and feel that Ames has double
crossed them. Jess, coming to the
little settlement, overhears their
talk and bravely boasts of what she
would do if she found one Of the
dummies" sent by the 'ring" on
her claim.
A few days later Jess father dies,
and Jess, left alone, decides that she
will "stick it out" on the claim,
though Bob Mullen, a young home
steader, asks her to marry him.
A gang of dummies is sent to the
timberland to establish residence
and thus cinch the timber rings
claim to Township 4-6. This is the
township where Jess lives. Ames
has it given out that he is leaving
for the east and follows the ''dum-
miles," one of whom he succeeds IN
bribing to give up his Identification
card, which he intends to use him
self. These dummies are to establish
a residence upon the quarter Sec
tons of the settlers and later turn
over their rights to the ring.
Meantime his secretary, Stanley,
has been cultivating the acquaint-
ance of Cora Abbott, former
friend of Ames in Washington, now
living in the western city and who is,
unknown to both Of them, in the
employ Of the "ring". She obtains
from him the information as to
Ames' whereabouts and that he is
laid up in his cabin.

WHAT DECAYED TEETH COST
Are More Injurious to the Health Of
Humanity Than Strong
Drink.

Decayed teeth are causing more
harm to the human race than alcohol.
DR.. Alfred C. Zones Of Bridgeport,
Conn.,, says that approximately 95,OOO,-
600 of persons In the United States
have decayed teeth, notes Popular Sci
ence Monthly. Dentistry's next step.
In his opinion. is to wipe out or pre-
vent tooth decay by systematic cam
paign of education on the care of the
teeth among schOolchildren.
How shall this be done? Bridge
ports plan has attracted wide atten-
ton already. Every child in that city
submits to thorough examination Of
the mouth and is given free treatment.
This type of clinic costs about 50
cents per child per year. The city as
sumes one-half the responsibility in
educating and helping the children to
preserve their teeth. The other half,
which is placed on the child and its
parents, consists In providing proper
food and in caring for the mouth.

How to Deal With Germs.

In dealing with germs, 1t should be
remembered that germ Of the mild
est appearance may very often be most
savage. Don't be deceived by a germ
that looks harmless. The male germ,
as rule, is the most voracious and
it may always be known by It's gay
plumage. Germs, rs we have been
taught, bring with them every sort
of disease, and while germs are not
always fatal, they try their best to
be. The average conscientious germ
IS chagrined when he fails to kill. If
a number of germs are engaged on a
lob and do not succeed they are in
disgrace with the folks back home.
Teach the children to swat the germs.
Particularly the young germs. Germs,
like people. are most odious at the
adolescent age.

Reading Faces.

The New York Medical Record in
an article entitled THE Face and It's
Expression in Diagnosis is Of the
opinion that the Sherlock Holmes fac
ulty in the average doctor enables him
to read in his patients face in mo-
ment's observation that which the
laboratory or physical examination will
be a long time finding out. Going
somewhat further the writer says that
the physician may have read some
thing in the face of the dog of the
patients household. That at the doc
tors first visit the dogs face would
have shined forth welcome; at the
next day he could read unalloyed glad
ness at his visit and confidence In him !;
ut the third visit the dogs face would
wear detected look. The wise physi-
clan would know what this meant. The
family had changed doctors"
