Paris taxlcab drivers-how many

choice. They had to winter some
where.
"Oh, yes. I suppose so. All right ;

"That's settled"

A LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS IDEA

Everybody is advising everybody
else what to do to make this the best
Christmas in the world since the
Babe ouddled in the manger in the
town called Bethlehem.
Here's our idea
See to II that this year you make
one more person glad that you are
alive than you did year ago.
Widen your Christmas circle one
ripple this year.
Maybe II will be the elevator boy,
or the milk man, or the blind neigh
Dor, or the bank that is nagging you
about your overdue note
No matter who 1t is: the further
without the family circle the better.
but make glad the heart OF one per-
son more this year.
Suppose we all did this, eh?
A hundred million OF us; adding
one person each Christmas. Why
everybody. within ten years. would
have so much to be happy for that
nobody would get over 1t, and find
time to nurse crouch before Christ
mas came again.
We think this is the best little
unpatented Cbristmasy idea we have
caught up with for long while.
Remember, one more this Christ
mas, even II II takes you till New
Years to get around to It.
A lot of us might well start with
our wives.

KEEP CLOTH LOOKING lake NEW

To have fabrics. after laundering.

care must be taken with colored
materials that they do not fade, and
with white materials that they re-
main gnow-white. Aside from this,
suggests the Department OF Agri-
culture, much depends on the sizing
OF cloth. Too much stiffening spoils
It's appearance and too little Is quite
as bad.
Most housekeepers use starch for
stiffeniDg ordinary clothing. Starch
keeps the clothes clean longer and
also acts as an absorbent for stain.
thus saving wear on the fiber by
making excess friction In laundering
unnecessary. Manufacturers add
other substances besides starch to
their finished mixture and their
practices have been adopted In home
laundry work with success,
For instance. borax gives smooth
ness; paraffin, wax or turpentine
gives gloss; and alum a certain de-
gree of pliabillty. The substance
used TO whiten is bluing. which
counteracts the yellow tinge. To use
any finishing process successfully thS
must be carefully worked
into the fabric to insure uniform
finish. This is done by dipping IN
and out Of the starch and bluing and
rubbing well between the hands.

RECLAIMING WASTE LANDS.

Al the close OF the Civil War the
United States possessed Western
public domain which seemed almost
boundless In extent.
Many OF the soldiers, accustomed
by their military experience to an
out-of-doors life, felt the call OF the
land. In large numbers they took up
government claims and devoted
themselves to farming life.
Our great army, also coming back
from vigorous out-of-doors life. Is
likely to feel the same call.
Secretary Lane, realizing that we
have not the desirable public lands
of forty-three years ago, wisely pro-
poses the reclamation of waste lands
owned by the government, to furnish
the soldiers with the opportunity of
becoming farmers or fruit growers.
The secretary states that there
are over two hundred million acres
OF waste land in the United States
capable OF such Transformation. They
consist OF arid lands requiring ir-
rigation for fertility. swamp lands
requiring drainage. and cut-over
forest areas, needing further clear
ing.
Bringing these lands to usefulness
would require a large expenditure
OF money. but under good adminlstra-
tion would give an immediate oppor-
tunity for labor. and would even
tually provide many thousands OF
with their own farms.
1t would also add materially TO
the national wealth. II he confers a
benefit to humanity who "makes

munity, encouraged by the county
agent, formed an organization which
embraced mems interests, women's
interests, canning clubs, corn clubs,

received a community charter and
proceeded to work. When the wheat
increase was asked, so acres was as.

USE APPLES FREELY.

The only fresh fruit many families
In the North have during the cold
months is the apple. Different ways
of utilizing this kitchen standby are
sure OF a welcome from the cook.
The Department of Agriculture
suggests the following ways OF serv-
ing the apple:
Fresh apples may be stuffed with
sausage and then baked: sliced and
fried in fat to serve with meats. or
served raw In salads.
Canned. dried or stewed apples
may be varied greatly by changing
the flavors used.
Canned apples make a delicious
addition TO custards or souff1es, adj
ding a piquant flavor.
Canned. dried or fresh. they form
an acceptable basis for Brown Betty
made with crumbs.
Fresh or canned. the fruit may be
utilized In short cakes. and In apple
sauce.

SINCERITY IN BUSINESS.

Some peoples idea of q business
deal is two men, face to face, each
suspicious of the other. each en-
deavoring to gain an advantage by
prevarication, each making state
ments incorrect up to near mlsrep-
resentation.
That notion OF business acumeu
is derived from the old horse-deal-
ing system, where no one expected
the truth to be told, and the best
man was he who could work off a
horse with the most imperfections.
In every community there are men
whose word is as good as their bond
No statement of theirs is ever ques-
toned, and the man dealing with
them is sure of meeting fairness.
These attributes, Joined with good
judgment, outfit the successful
business man. Perhaps he does not
get the reputation of being IAN
awful smart fellow" but time brings
him much better one.-that OF a
man who his fellow citizens can
always trust for honor and fair deal

GRAZING FEES ON RE-
SERVE TO INCREASE
tcontInued rrom page onel
goes on to say;

goes on TO say;
"On several OF the Forests ap.
piications have already been approx.
cd for permits during flve-year
period subject to an annual reduc.
tion OF five per cent to provide for
the issuance OF permits TO new set
tiers, In addition TO snch reduction
as might be necessary to prevent
damage to the Forest.
"It appears that while the stock
men are willing TO subject themselves
TO whatever restrictions are neces-
sary for the welfare OF the Forest
from the standpoint of timber pro-
ductlon or other primary purposes
for which the land was set aside.
yet the possibility OF the five per
cent annual reduction proves an
embarrassment to them. II N ap-
preclated that the assurance OF CON
tinued use of the range for specific
number OF animals during n term OF
years would undoubtedly tend to
greater stability OF the industry and
encourage the handling OF business
In way TO increase the quantity and
improve the quality OF the livestock
and would also enable better ad-
mlnistration of the range itself.
ION considerable portion OF the
National Forests we have reached
the point where permits for period
of five years can be put into effect
without difficulty. On certain other
Forests we are not In a position TO
grant five-year permits for more than
portion OF the stock at present up
on them, because there is serious
question whether there Is not now
more stock than can be carried per-
manently without injury TO the For
est. There is also the extra stock
which has been taken care OF as
war emergency. some of which we
will not be able to continue, and for
that reason should not be included
under flye-year permits.
The issuance OF annual permits
will be continued where reductions
are necessary to insure against over
stocking or where this may be requir-
ed for any other reason. The plan
Is progressively to bring about
more secure tenure OF the grazing
privileges through the issuance OF
fiye-year permits as fast as this can
be done In consideration OF tho
various public interests involved"
