of one per cent, and to disprove the loose
talk that much of the money thus raise

large salaries are paid and that an over

by voluntary workers, who receive No
salary whatever. For instance, 5l7 out of

The Worst Way.

Back in the dark ages, when the
management of the Erie railroad was
not all that 1t should have been-the
rolling stock needing more oil and the
common stock less water--a west
bound passenger train jolted into Corn
ing one day two hours behind time and
halted to patch up the engine and
take on such passengers as were In
no hurry and preferred waiting to
walking.
Just as the train was about to jerk
itself In motion an excited individual
came rushing along the platform. drag
ging heavy carpetbag with one hand
and waving n telegram with the other.
You must wait !" he shouted,
breathlessly. I'm in an awful hurry !
l want to get to Buffalo the worst
way"
"All right" sang out the conductor
of the starting train. Hurry up and
jump aboard. You won't strike any
thing worse than this i''-Everybody's

CUT OUT CROOKED STICKS
Use of Dead Wood for Fuel Is Also
Applied to Scoundreis and
the War.

Forestry experts in New York,
state which has given much conserv-
Ing attention to Its wealth in trees.
urge farmers to help the country meet
the high cost of fuel by making more
use of the dead and dying timber in
their wood lots. They are advised to
burn I'm their stoves and CRATES the
fallen logs still sound enough to be
converted into fire wood and to cut
down and utilize crooked trees obvi-
ously foredoomed to worthlessness as
timber, no matter how long they may
be allowed to stand.
This is good advice, and there is
human moral in the crooked stick part
Of IT, says an exchange. The same
stress of war times, which led to the
appeal issued to New York farmers
in sitting out crooked men. Some ras-
Gals will profit by war conditions, but
in the broad view of the nations af-
fairs the sound and straight will come
to the front. The country cant take
chances with scoundrels. 1t must cut
crooked sticks out of the life-and-
death work OF the war, in places of
authority.
