Patch Up Telephone Pole.

The ever-increasing cost of lumber
has led to the use of many devices IN
save wood. One of the most ingenious
is the method to save telephone poles,
which rot at the base just above and
below the surface of the ground. The
upper portion remains sound for a
longer time than the base. A short
pole, creosOted so us to withstand de.
cay, Is placed in the ground beside the
old pole and firmly fastened to 1t. This
adds several years to the length of
time the pole will serve. The arrange.
ment also serves as a protection ia
pedestrians; for since the part buried
rots long before the upper part, the
