1io Plant to Build Destroyers.

The new plant Of the Fore River
shipbuilding corporation, located a
few miles south of Boston, will be the
greatest destroyer plant in the world,
and will be ready for work early in
1918. There will be large number Of
small destroyer shops and the neces-
sary manufacturing buildings, the lat
ter having an aggregate floor space Of
more than 100000 square feet. After
the completion of the plant the pro-
gram calls for delivery by the Fore
River corporation within two years Of
at least 46 destroyers. These will cost
$1,5OO,OOO each, or total Of $69OOO.-
600. In addition to the main plant out
side of Boston there will be erected a
S2.5OO,OOO turbine plant at Buffalo, and
another 81 100000 plant in Providence,
r. I. The equipment from these plants
will be shipped to Fore River for in
stallment on destroyers as soon as
completed.-Marine Journal.

Grass on the Range Has Made Fine

Forrest Rice, the we'll known Tague
rancher, was in the city Tuesday. Mr..
Rice says the grass on the range has
already made a better growth this
year than t did all last season.
Mr.. Rice is one of the five repub-
llcan candidates for sheriff of Noun
trail county and reports his campaign
coming along in a very satisfactory
manner. He will get practically a
unanimous vote in his home territory
and besides he is meeting with much
support turnout the other sections of
the county. Mr.. Rice has never mix
ed in county politics before and Blais-
dell considers that that part of the
county is entitled to representation
Mr.. Rice is a man of whom nothing
but good can be spoken and he APP
pears to be an ideal man for the
place which he seeks.

THE ROOM.

There's q room OF yonder called Yestsr-
day.
It IL built Of the years that are put away
Like the scented folds of winding sheet,
There's a slanting stair that no step can
know
But the music OF yours In the long ago;
And there's mirror which shows no face
In all that silent, unpeopled place.
But the face Of YOU and there Is a nook,
Like some rare resting place In book.
Where no sound comes but wandering
tone
or your voice into memory grown.
/ thought on that room had turned the
key.
And lost it--but, o. II was not to be-
thought had sealed 1t and barred the
way.
And struck a bargain with Yesterday
To come not back with phantom or ghost,
Or image Of anything I loved most!
But nay-through it's fallen portal pass,
To find your face In the lookingglass;
To behold you leaning against the stair.
with a shaft Of sun on your FURNISHED
hair!
To hear your voice ringing through and
through
All, what are the years without dreams
and you!

Draft Boards at Work.

Maj. Robert G. Baltzell, state con-
scription agent, told Of an instance
that shows how the medical advisory
board of the local draft boards
throughout the country, and particu-
larly in Indiana, are doing much to
correct physical defects in young men
Of draft age. A drafted man from
southern Indiana was transferred to
the jurisdiction of an Indianapolis
board and was forced to appear before
an advisory medical board. It was
discovered that he was suffering from
a condition of the kidneys that would
have made him totally unfit for war
service in a few more weeks and that
eventually would have led to his death
A more or less slight operation not
only saved his life but will make him
fit for army duty, Major Baltzell said.

And he did.

movement toward the door was rapid

Making Rope.

The rope industry is largely depend
ent upon Russian, italian, American
and Manila hemp, the latter being far
more used than any other. With the
exception of Manila, all these hemps
are Of the best fiber-that is, they are
obtained from the bark of the plant.
The hemp is cut, dried, and then
stacked in bundles. Later, it is again
spread out and exposed to dew, frost
and sun, process that rots the gums
binding the filaments. The dry inner
woody part Of the stem then falls off
and leaves the fibrous strips in con-
dition to be cleaned and baled for
transportation.

Russia,s Vast Mineral Wealth.

In a recent article on the utiliza-
aion Of Russia's chemical wealth Pro-
Gessor Vernadysky states that Of 81
chemical elements utilized by man,
81 have already been found in Russia,
existing in combinations that permit
of their extraction. These are the
most important of the chemical com
pounds economically useful to man
kind. It is more than probable that
can also be found in Russia, and the
problem is to discover their deposits
and utilize them.-Chicago American.

cuIled Oranges Used for Fuel.

Lindsay (Cal) orchard owners are
doing their part in conservation Of
fuel, culled oranges having been
found valuable for heating purposes.
The oranges are allowed to dry out
thoroughly between the rows Of trees
in the orchards and then are collected
in picking boxes. They made an ex-
ceptionally hot fire, due to the large
amount Of oil in the rinds.
Culled oranges are worthless for any
purpose, and even blowing them I'M
der in the orchard has been found a
bad practice. Their use for fuel,
therefore, not only disposes Of the
culls, but results in a saving Of wood
or coal.

A Mistaken Estimate.

Do not belittle yourself by the sup
position that you must be handsomely
dressed in order to be popular. A girl
should have too much faith in her own
powers Of charm to imagine that her
quick wit and faculty for entertaining
conversation amounts to nothing, If
her costume is not strictly up to date.
A girl who sets so high an estimate
on dress, and so low a one on personal
charm underestimates the worlds
