Cloud, wnere $50 men were called to
fight the flamess Camp No. OF the
McCloud River Lumber Company was
compelled to suspend operations for
several days while the men fought
the fire. About 700 cords of wood
we're destroyed as we'll as 10000 feet
of logs that were loaded on logging
cars. Seventy empty logging cars
and one water car were also licked
up. The sawmills were shut down
several days owing to suspension OF
operations in the woods.
The fire between Sisson and Weed,
while not doing any considerable
damage to valuable timber, caused
inconvenience to highway travellers
besides burning down several poles
of the California Oregon Power Com
pany and about mile Of line Of the
Postal Telegraph Company. Several
ranches were also endangered but
escaped damage on the Weed COM
pany's land. Three cabins were de-
stroyed at Camp 2 and twenty cars
loaded with lumber burned. The
glare of the flames shooting from
four to five hundred feet into the air
by burning timber was a wonderful
sight from Weed. Hundreds Of peo-
pie and travelling tourists witnessed
the spectacle. The fires burned over
an area Of ten miles Of underbrush
and timber. The Southern Pacific

PARDON SOUGHT FOR
METHODIST MINISTER

COLUMBUS, Ga, Oct. 26.-Rev. J.
E. Wray, for many years a member
OF the South Georgia conference, pas
tor of ST. Paul church, Columbus; Null
berry Street church, Macon, and other
charges in Georgia, as well as i'm
portant churches in other states, now
serving two years term in the federal
pen for sending obscene matter
through the mails, may be pardoned
by the president
! Petitions are being circulated here,
and largely signed by Methodist and
others, asking for executive action in
the case, which is pictured as one of
/ insanity rather than one of wilful
wrong-doing Superintendent R. B.
Daniels, of the Columbus Public
Schools, heads the list of petitioners.
The petition reads
ITO His Excellency, Hon Woodrow
Wilson, President of the United
States of America
| THE undersigned citizens of Colum-
bus, Ga, in which j. E. Wray served
during a number of years as pastor
of ST. Paul Methodist church, re-
/ spectiveIy and earnestly petition 20 IT
exceIlency to grant to the said Wray,
who is now serving a sentence in the
federal prison at Atlanta, pardon, on
I the ground that he was insane and
irresponsible when he committed the
offense for which he was convicted
and is now in prison.
He is known by your petitioners,
and they know him to have main
tanned for many years the highest
character as a man and to have been
q minister of the most extensive use
fulness. The offense for which he is
in prison was one wholly inconsistent
with all his former life, and to US it
! is incredible that he could have COM
ritted it had he been sane. Since his
conviction all the facts in his case
go to show that he was before and
at the time he committed the offense
wholly irresponsible"

Prevent Your Oats From

The method recommended by the u.
S. Department of Agriculture (Bulle-
tin No 250) and various experiment
/ stationss. as follows l pound of For
lmaldehyde should be dissolved in 50
gallons of water, then sprinkle over
the seed of the wheat or oats, which
is spread on the barn floor or other
smooth surface The wheat should be
shoveled over until thoroughly wet
with this solution, and it is best to use
sprinkler pots when applying it to the
grain. The Formaldehyde gives off
ather pungent fumes and for that rea-
son it is the most effective treatment
One gallon of solution will Just about
wet one bushel of grain. The grain,
should be left in, pile for 2 or 3
hours and then spread out to, dry. For

thickness Of the wall except for about
four inches ut the front, which part
of the wall Is later built up with face
brick. A third method Is to follow the
wall up above the concrete with face
brick backed with hollow tile.
The hip roof of this house Is built
with wide cornlces having the ends of
the rafters exposed. The slope Of the
roof is broken, just above the cornices,
into a more gentle slope, which gives
the roof an appearance Of %gracefulness.

exterior design. The front entrance
consists of a simple but solldly built
door stained in conformity with the
rough siding, having a narrow window
on each side. This entrance with the
p~orch-terrace are very effective In en-
phasizing the rustic aspect Of the
house.
The house has a basement under oil
parts except the porch. Grade windows
are Of sufficient size and In sufficient
number to make this a useful part of
the house. Separate rooms are pro-
vided for the heating plant. the laun-

IMMENSE COST OF BAD ROADS
Farmers Allow $500, ooo, 900 to Escape
Each Year Because Of Poor and
Unimproved Highways.

The farmers Of the United States
have been allowed $500, 900, 900 in real
money to escape from their pockets
each year because Of poor roads, &C.
cording to the testimony Of experts
who made a survey Of the effect Of
bad roads upon markets for the de-
partment Of agriculture. Just when
the farmer has the opportunity to mar
ket his crops at top prices, bad wealth.
er closes the roads to heavy hauling
and he must wait until another eason
To the loss of the farmers must be
added an economic loss equally large
suffered by the nation. II the rural
roads could be used for traffic the year
round, Uncle Sam would save more
than half q billion dollars. This Is a
typical bad-road blockade which exists
for weeks and often months In rural

"Dead" Defendants Plea.

Judicial skepticism to a marked de-
gree is shown in the opinion in Free
man. IS. Frank, 10 Abb, Pr. IN. ",

lowing W
"The fact that the defendant has an
swered, though by attorney. shows he
is neither civilly or physically dead. It
is conclusive that he is living, and not
under any disability that prevents him
defending the action. The defendant,
by answering, proves he is alive; and
when he AYERS in his answer that he
is dead, he is not to be believed. The
answer, therefore, contains two con-
averments, n of which In
judgment Of law is a fiction. II the

swer. Hence the averment that he Is
dead must be deemed untrue"

the milk produced by each COW 10 add
ed and q sample Of the milk IL tested
about the middle of each month. The
value Of the butter fat and skim milk
is calculated and the cost Of the feed
consumed Is deducted therefrom.
These monthly figures are entered ON
another sheet for the yearly record.
Take, for example, the years record Of
the COW Fannie. She freshened late In
December 1914. dried of October Is.
1915, and ~freshened again December
25, 1915. Her profit above the cost
Of feed amounted to $3.50 for the year
1915.
A comparison Of the yearly records
Of the eve cows with their photo
graphs is Interesting. With the pic
lures at hand 1t will be seen that one
cannot Judge the production Of q COW
for the year from her conformation
alone. The COW Myrtle was a surprise
to her owner, for while she had never
given a large quantity Of milk at Q
milking, her record showed her to be
a persistent mixer. She stood sec
ond In profit yer cost Of feed and re-
turned to her owner more than the
combined profits Of Ellen and Blanche.
The combined profits of Fannie, Dia-
mond, Pet, and Myrtle amounted to
$182.18, or an average of $45.04 per
COW, while the average profit Of Diana,
Ellen and Blanche was $23.78. or about
one-half that Of the first four cows. II
this dairyman had had seven cows as
good as his best four, he would have
had a total profit Of $317.3O instead of
$253.45, a difference of $83.95. This
amount would be a large return for the
time spent in keeping the records.
Value Of Dairy Records.
The only safe way Of valuing dairy
cows is by the quantity Of milk and
butter fat they produce. This neces-
states the keeping Of records. These
records will point out the good and the
Improbable cows; the dairyman can
save the offspring of the good cows,
so that he will soon have a herd Of
large and economical producers.
The dairy milk sheet enables the
feeder to prepare proper rations and
feed these according to the quantity
of milk produced. All cows should not
be fed alike; the high producers re-
quire more feed than the low produc-
ers. Without records 1t Is impossible
to feed economically.
Three common rules for feeding are:
~ Feed 1 pound of grain to every 8
to 4 pounds Of milk produced, or I
pound of grain daily to every pound
Of butter fat produced per week; (2)
feed all the roughage the cows will
eat up clean; and (3) cut down on
the expensive feed when the COW be-
gins to gain in live weight.
In addition. the daily milk sheet en-
ables the dairyman, when a drop &C.
ours in the yield Of milk, to detect and
ward of or check cases of illness that
might become serious If not treated
promptly. and 1t also enables the own
er to check up on the thoroughness
Of the milking Of. the different en-
ployees. Breeding records also should
be kept in addition to production rec
ords.
Records are not only valuable to the
owner In the aforementioned ways,
but they aid in selling his stock. One
man In a contrasting association sold
his cows for $25 to $50 more because
their records.

to note that the principles emphasized
In this report as essential to the sue
cess Of convict road work are the same
as those the committee has consld-
cred imperative. These principles are
that when county convicts are to be
employed on the roads they should be
turned over to the state convict road
force, all convict road work being un-
der state control.
The second principle is that there
state prison and the state highway de-
partments In regard to convict road
work. The prison department should
select the prisoners for this work, and
make all rules regarding their care
and discipline. This department should
also supervise the carrying out of
these rules. The highway department
should have full charge Of all road
operations, and be responsible for car
rying out the rules and regulations
made by the prison department.
The report takes up in detail the Sc
lection Of camp officers, and the keep
ing of records and accounts, includ-
Ing suggestions for order slips and
vouchers.
Other features Of the report which
will be specially valuable to authori-
ties carrying on convict road work
deal with the location Of a camp site,
water supply, camp sanitation, quar-
tiers and structures. health conditions
and care Of the sick and injured, cloth
ing and rations. All are discussed sci
entiically and practical suggestions
are made which can be followed out
in any part Of the country.
The department Of agriculture has
rendered service to prison and road
authorities, while private citizens have
now available standards by which to
Judge the convict camps in their vicin-
ity. The year 1917 should be a record
n for convict road work II local au-
thorities use to good advantage the as
sistance afforded them by the depart
ment Of agriculture through the office
of public roads and rural engineering.

Making the Ear Useful.

The ornamental possibilities Of the
al were probably developed first, per-
haps in the way of hooks for catching
back floral draperies. Then, most like
ly, some one discovered that the ear
was convenient to hang a bunch of
grapes on when interrupted In the
midst Of a repast. Perhaps the next
cave man began to use his ears for
the purpose Of slowing away a few
extra thOrns when he was on q fish,
ing trip. The development of the ears
for both ornamental and utilitarian
purposes was undoubtedly rapid, and
modern man has merely continued the
customs Of his prehistoric ancestors.
making the ear useful for holding q
a pen, a pair Of eyeglasses or
an extra cigarette, while modern wom-
an perpetuates the decorative customs
by having her ears pierced and using
them to suspend various metals and
precious stones.
