BUYS WALNUT FOR GUNS.
Government Agents Buying Trees
LeGrand Man Sells Few.

Agents and contractors working for
the government to supply black wal
nut for gun stocks are now searching
everywhere for standing black walnut
trees or logs that are well preserved.
The price of walnut logs, because Of
the. exceptionally insistent demand of
the government for the wood has be-
come very high. One LeGrand man,
l. c. Blodgett, has sold forty-f five wal
nut trees to Melvin Keener, of Delta.
The trees were sold standing, but they
were not cut down until recently. The
logs were shipped to Des Moines, where
they were made into gun stocks.

Women Users Of Tobacco,

Smoking by women Of the educated
class in England is so recent a reviv-
al that we are rather apt to forget
that, taking the sex all the world over,
probably the majority smoke, and of
those who do the pipe is the form of
indulgence generally favored. In jap
an, for example, woman has smoked
ever since tobacco was introduced, and
invariably used the pipe of metal with
the tiny bowl holding only sufficient
tobacco to provideshalf a dozen whiffs,
which was in universal use until the
cigarette entered japan with other
western innovations. In our own
country, especially in Ireland, the
peasant woman is often to be seen
with a pipe in her mouth, and 1t is
generally q clay.-I.ondon Chronicle.

Palmerston was proverbially silent

Sir Isaac Newton, world famous as q
scientist, rarely spoke save to answer

Authors are rarely great takers
Tolstoi, the most amiable Of men, was
reserved in conversation, and at times

French romanticist, when engaged in

Preserving Flowers with Wax.

It Is not generally known that many
kinds of flowers may be preserved in
lifelike condition with wax. Ordinary
candles may be used, and to prepare
the wax, 1t is only needful to cut up
the candles into chunks, taking away
the wicks. The wax is then melted
in a saucepan over flame, and when
the whole is liquid, the flowers may
be treated. Each bloom should be
quite dry on the surface, that is, there
should be no rain or dewdrops on the
petals. Take the blossoms separately
and dip them for a moment or 80
into the liquid wax, constantly nov
ing them about. Immerse the bios
som completely and also an inch or
SO Of the stem. Then take them out
and wave about in the air to dry.

Melbourne, Vic, March 10. - The
prime minister and the premiers of
the states have been facing in Mel
bourne In secret conference what is
regarded as the greatest OF Australia
postwar problems-the repatriation
OF the soldiers. The result Of the
deliberations has been a compre-
hensive nation wide scheme.
Considering settlement on the land
as perhaps the chief aim of those who
are charged with the welfare of the
Australian soldiers likely to return
from the front, the main points of the
new agreement are that the common
wealth will advance the necessary
funds to the states who will lend up to
$500 on improvements effected on
land leased to soldiers. The rate of in
terest to the soldier-settler will be ga
per cent for the first year, raising by
of the money.
Every British as well as Australian
soldier and sailor who has fought in
the present war will be entitled to
come under the land settlement plans
now under way.
Under the title Of 1.-THE Soldiers Set
Element Board of Australia" new
board Is to be constituted. consisting
OF q commonwealth minister and one
minister from each state. This board
has been approved by all the states
except Queensland. which may come
into line later and it will determine
the advances to be made to each set
tier, irrespective of the actual land
provision. 1t will aim at uniformity in
the various states, and will watch the
development Of each part OF the
repatriation scheme.
The premiers resolved that the COM
