Gas Made From Straw.

The production of fuel and lighting
gas from straw is now made possible
by a Canadian invention. This pro-
Queer, which is designed for Individual
farm use, offers a practical means for
utilizing the vast quantities of straw
that now 60 to waste on the Western
plains.
The gas is made in retort equipped
with three cylinders, each of which
molds a bale Of straw seven feet
long, two feet wide, and six inches
thick.
After filling and closing these cham
bers, straw or gas fire is lighted
under them and allowed to burn 80
or 40 minutes. One firing with wheat
oat, barley, or fax straw in this man
ner produces 1,200 cubic feet of gas
having fuel value of 400 B. t. u. About
1900 cubic feet of gas can usu
ally be generated from one ton OF
straw, and In addition six to eight gal
Ions of tar and $40 pounds of carbon

Origin Of "Douahboy."

A phrase, strictly American in its
modern usage, is that Of "doughboy'
as applied to an American soldier. Ar
American infantry soldier recently ex
planned the origin of the term to the
correspondent in Paris Of the London
Times after this fashion: "In the Civ
IL war great number of federal troops
were waiting for uniforms, which wer,
made but lacked buttons. So grea
was the hurry that eventually the mer
went round the houses in the town ant
collected buttons off the womens cloth
ing. These were for the most par
large buttons from overcoats. Natural
ly the infantry looked funny with thel
uniforms fastened by great overcoa
buttons. Those resembled hard tacl
(arge, round, dry biscuits made o
dough- and hence sprang the wOrt
'doughboy,' which has been kept in tn
United States army as a slang phras
for an infantry soldier"

One of the anomalies of Finland

that 1t has all along worked for Ger

PRESERVING SCENES OF war
Future Generations Will Realize How
Much They Owe to Courage and
Skill Of Photographers.

When the history Of the great war
comes to be written in the DAYS after
the tumult and the shouting have died
away, the fortunate croniclers of the
momentous events now in progress will
have access to enormously valuable
and enormously numerous documents"
of a kind with which their predeces-
sors of the nineteenth century were
but scantlly supplied, and those of
earlier times next to not at all.
Photography can hardly be called
new, and as long ago as our war be-
tween the states we had photographers,
notably the never to be sufficiently
thanked Brady, who immortalized the
leading figures and some Of the events
in that conflict. But what was done
with the clumsy cameras of that era
can hardly be mentioned in comparison
with the achievements of the men who
today follow every army, often to the
very front Of battle. The products of
their courage and skill will constitute
priceless treasure in the future, and
the students Of this war, even in re-
mote ages, will be able actually to see
its every phase and operation.
The reproduction Of photographs by
printing processes is equally far adj
vanced beyond the old standards of ex-
cellence, and reproductions have be-
come wonderfully cheap. Indeed, so
cheap are they and so abundant that

preservation, and the result is that

No doubt you will not remem-

This is one of the oldest Army
Posts in the United States, in
fact, it is next to the largest they
maintain. 1t is the Headquarters
of the Southern Department,
which comprises something over
one hundred Camps and Canton
ments, and for that reason you
can draw on your imagination
that it is very well equipped and
cared for, and together with the
many old time sights to be seen
in around Sanantonia, Texas, in
the days of the Old Alamo,
makes it all the more interesting
| am at this time however
wanting to move, and at this
time the prospects are very
} bright for a trip soon, as | think
| will 60 to the Panama Canal
Zone, within the next few
weeks, or at least / am hoping
for this trip. as it would be OF
my way to foreign service, and
think it would hasten my journey
that much, so | think that
will get to go there soon.
My real reason in writing thi'
letter is not for any historic
reason orso, but / received some
of your papers from my home
folks in Davenport, Oklahoma
, and so you will find herewith
;. inclosed my personal check, OF
the National Bank ct NARROW
