Building Timber of Evergreen Glass

Building Timber of Evergreen Class.
Timber used for building purposes is
most often of the evergreen" class.
In this class one finds white pine,
Carolina pine, Georgia pine, redwood,
red cedar, cypress, white cedar,
spruce, Norway spruce and hemlock.
Formerly spruce and white pine were
used almost exclusively for the frame
work of houses. These materials were
especially well adapted to stand the
strain, attendant on house construc-
ton; but they have now practically
disappeared from the market, and in
their place have been substituted Nor
way pine, southern pine and tamarack,
all of which are vastly inferior to
spruce and white pine.

WHEN MEN GROW OLD.
One Sure Sign ls Said to es an In
 ersasing Waistiins.

ersasins Waistiins. :.
 When doey man get old? What are the signs? Some will say instantly gray hair. badness. stiff knees. short ness of breath, and sO on. An eastern authority rejects all of these as proofs of age and cites doctors to prove that there are two invariable signs-an in creasing waist line and a decrease of physical agility. These indications may not show themselves until & man is forty or fifty. but they may manifest themselves at twenty-five. Whatever the time. the man is old.
 This Is rather an arbitrary ruling. but it has a sane basis no doubt. There are many men. of course, who by force of nature rather than any care of their own. retain spareness of figure until they are far along in life, and usually with this sllniIess Is activity of move ment. But the average man not en- gagged in active physical labor that keeps superfuous flesh down Is ex- tremely likel! to develop increased girth in comparatively early years. and whether or not 1t classes him among the old or even elderly. it does take him out of the realm of youth. However youthful a man may feel. no one longer mistakes him for boy when that big waist line omes.-Indanapolis Star.

German empire and its allies through the neutral nations of the European continent. The food blockade is about as stringent as it can be made.
 It is difficult to know how much the people of Germany have suffered as a result of underfeeding, but re- ports have come from numerous sources. buth within and without Ger many, that the allied anaconda is hay ing an effect upon its victim. Muni- tions factories, according to dis patches, are unable to come up to for mer standards of output because of the undernourishmen Of the workers, and the people in general are on a starvation ration. There is no indica- ton that the army has been seriously affected by the shortage of food altho it. has long been on short rations.
 The Press Association of England publishes what purports to be a re- liable review of the conditions in the central empires made by order of the German chancellor, in which it says the food situation next winter will de- pend manly on the results of the po- tato crop. At present potatoes are be- ing delivered with fair regularity, but should frost, lack of labor or other reason cause a shortage in potatoes it will spell disaster. It is estimated that Germany's total harvest will be about 40 per cent short of normal for wheat and 45 per cent for rye, oats and barley. The total harvest of rye and wheat will be 7,500.000 tons, as compared with 13,000,000 tons in 1913. The shortage will be partly compensated from the Rumanian granaries.
 One of the difficult problems which Germany has had to face during the war was in harvesting and distribut- ing the crops. Most of the work is done by old men, women and chil- dren, although prisoners are forced to help in many parts of the country Because the rolling stock is mostly used by the military much perishable food is lost for lack of transporta- tion facilities. Whether this condi- tion is any worse or any better this year than usual is not known.
 It is hardly reasonable to believe that the central powers will be starv- ed out this year unless the unexpect- ed happens. although the situation in Austria is worse than that in Ger many. No doubt the suffering will be more acute than ever, and the effect will count in the end. but there are no signs at present that an empty na- tional stomach will lead to an early collapse.

 Happy Ending.
 William Kenrick. Berkshire gen. tleman of 100 years ago. left his prop erty. which was considerable. to an only daughter. This young lady had a mind of her own and. finding none of her suitors to her liking, simply deter mined to wait until the right gentle man should come along
 It so happened that one day she at tended a wedding at Reading. where she met young gentleman named Benjamin Child. He was a poor at- torncy. With this handsome young man the young lady fell violently in love. but still she was cautious. She reasoned with herself for several days. trying to shake herself free of the sud den passion. but all in vain
 Then. feeling that something must be done. but unab ble from confusion of mind to devise d proper course. she took the extraordinary step of sending the young man letter demanding sat isfaction for alleged injuries. She ap- pointed a time and place for the hostile meeting.
 Mir. Child was much surprised and quite at loss to conceive who the challenger could be. By the advice of a friend he decided to go to the duel- ing place. Here he was met by the young woman. who. much to his sur prise. told him he would have to fight her or marry her. Hefhaturally chose the latter. and. ns the saying goes. they lived happily ever afterward.

INFERTILE EGGS HIGHER
Merchants of Kansas Are Now Pay
ing Better Price for Them.

Manhattan, Kan, Aug. est pays
to produce infertile eggs. Many Kan
sas merchants are now paying an ex-
ira price for these eggs, according to
Ross NJ. Sherwood, of the department
of poultry husbandry in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
Two classes of merchants buy eggs
from the farmers. One pays a slight
increase in price for infertiie eggs and
the other pays the same price for both
fertile and infertile eggs. The swat
the-rooster movement made it posi-
BILE for the farmer to market infertile
eggs.
Formerly the farmer was not paid
for his trouble in producing infertile
eggs as the merchants did not know
the value of the infertile eggs for mar
ket purposes, pointed out Mr.. Sher-
wood. Recently, however, it has been
brought to the attention of the mer-
chant, that he can afford to pay a
premium for infertile eggs because
they will keep much bettcr.t He will
be able to ship his eggs TO a good
market with the assurance that they
will grade as first and seconds instead
of rots when they reach their destin-
alton.

81 WOOL BY JAN. |.
Production This Year 100000
Pounds Less Than 1915.
Price "Ayiated" From 50 Cents
Since Early Last Year.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-The clothing
salesman who last fall, winter and
spring said buy now, and lay 'em
away for next season. was right.
Wool today was between rs and 80
cents a pound, wholesale and before
January 1 it will be one dollar a
pound, according to w. p Birch, edi-
tor of the American Sheep Breeders,
today.
These prices compare with IS to 3S
cents from 1912 to 1915. Thirty
eight cents prevailed until early in
1916 when the price began to climb.
Late last year it began to creep to-
ward the present level.
Wool production this year will be
but 100000 pounds short of 1915,
when the total supply was 2S8, 100000
pounds, according to Clyde Mann, edi-
tor of Sheep Breeders Journal I'M
ports in 1916 were 534.82S. 900 pounds
additional. They are expected to be
of shipping facilities, Mann said, but
the demand has shown a marked in
crease and is a factor in sending the
prices up.
S21 Mutton Predicted.
Scarcity of sheep, due to home
stealing and other grazing restric-
tons was given by other Chicago
wool men today as the chief reason
for the advancing prices.
The solution of lower prices, Birch
declares, will be found in utilizing
100000 acres of cut over lands in
Michigan and Wisconsin this year for
campaign.
Mutton, selling today for $16.T5 a
hundred pounds, he says, will be s21
before January 1.
