all democrats around the world sang

They had reason to sing. These
democrats have left Germany and

this war so clear that no longer can
either a liar or a coward side-step it.
Democracy against autocracy, the

The last great struggle, clean cut,

CROP ESTIMATING BIG JOB
Uncle Sans Experts Handle Nearly
1000, coo Schedules Annually in
Making Up Monthly Reports.

Uncle Sans bureau of crop esti-
mates, department of agriculture,
handles nearly 100000 schedules an
nually in making up the government
monthly crop reports. officials of
the bureau say that there are nearly
100000 names on the voluntary crop
reporting lists, while a paid agents
are constantly making personal inves-
legations, one agent covering a state.
In addition, force of $50 clerks are
employed in Washington to handle the
large number of reports from the vol
untary crop reporters and to keep rec
ords Of crop information of this and
foreign countries.
The work of crop-reporting has been
so improved and systematized that es-
Inmates of production of important
products can be made with a close
degree of accuracy. Thus the cotton
crop estimate OF 1915 was only three
tenths of ], per cent less than the
amount actually ginned.

UNCLE SAM IS FRUGAL
Realizes $65.00O on His Waste
Paper in One Year.
Government Printing Office Makes Col.
lections From Various De-
partments.

Uncle Sam, who has been urging
the saving of waste paper, practices
what he breaches. He has been doing
some saving on his own account and
1t is announced that the value of the
paper saved by the government in the
various departments in 1916 amount
ed TO nearly $65,0O0.
The amount of waste paper from the
various departments and bureaus
which is collected, baled and sold by
the government printing office is in
creaslng very rapidly, according to Of
ficials Of the Office. The collection for
the past year amounted to 4,O31,573
pounds, as compared with 100000
pounds last year; and indications are
that it will continue to increase, Ow-
publications are being printed and,
secondly, to the fact that there is more
saving now among the departments
than there ever has been. 1t costs the
printing office approximately $4,000
each year to collect this waste. I'm
der present conditions this expense Is
carried as part of the overhead ex-
pense of the Office and prorated and
charged to each piece of work pro-
duced for congress and the depart
ments and bureaus, which helps to
make the overhead expense Of the Of
fee seem larger than 1t otherwise
would, and also reduces the amount
of printing and binding in order that
waste paper may be collected and
baled.
The present system of collecting this
waste was inaugurated July 1, 1913,
in compliance with recommendations
of the commission on economy and eff
ficiency and instructions from the
White House. The sale Of waste pa
per during the year netted $64, 1884.

PERIL FROM AUTO EXHAUST
Uncle Sans Experts Make Tests and
Warn Against Running Engines
In Closed Garages.

Experts of Uncle Sans bureau of
mines, department Of the interior, call
attention to the increasing number Of
persons who are being asphyxiated
through breathing the exhaust gases
from automobile engines in garages,
and suggest that the danger is greatly
increased in the winter time when the
weather is too cold to keep the doors
and windows open.
A series of tests were conducted in
a garage, in which one Of the chemists
was considerably affected by the pois-
onous gases. The tests led to the fol-
lowing conclusions:
An automobile lgine should not be
operated in small garage unless
doors and windows are wide open.
In the tests conducted, the air in
the garage was rendered decidedly
dangerous after the automobile en-
CINE had been running Is minutes.
"The gas made by automobile en-
gines in inclosed garages is known as
carbon monoxide," said Director Van
H. Manning of the bureau. 1T is a
colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
It is extremely poisonous because it
combines with the red coloring matter
of the blood more readily than oxygen
does and blood that is saturated with
it cannot take up oxygen. The dan
gerous symptom of this carbon
monoxide poisoning comes almost
without warning and collapse in a
garage generally proves fatal, unless
outside aid arrives very soon, because
the running engine continues to geir
crate carbon-monoxide and contiAw I
to make the air more poisonous

and as an educational feature for the
better understanding of geysers.
A geyser consists of surface lake
and a subterranean lake, connected by
a narrow channel filed with water.
The water in the subterranean lake
is subjected to both heat and pressure.
The pressure raises the boiling point
of the water. AS soon, however, as
the water in the subterranean lake is
able to expand enough in force some
of the column about out of it's way,
the pressure Is relieved and large
portion of water is suddenly converted
into steam. This causes the eruption.
After the steam has escaped the col

the heating process begins all over

EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case of Mr.. G. Lacy, late of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
MIR. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
cOnsin in the summer of 1914 with
S1,500 available cash in his possession.
He rented a half-sectiOn of partly i'm
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 26O with
wheat. Also he had two COWS and 20
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate in buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
Ize his profits-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
w. ]. Winstead, of Brooks, Alberta,
says:
"I landed in Brooks, March 18th,
1916, with one car of household effects,
and nine head of good horses, and less
