When Hon. Thomas L. Glenn pass
ed peacefully away at his home in
this city at 1850 o'clock last Monday
night. there ended the earthly career
Of man who had been prominently
identified in the affairs Of life in his
native state, Kentucky, and his adopt
ed state. Idaho. Before coming west
In 1900 he held positions Of trust and
honor in Kentucky and during his
residence In Idaho he had been hon
ored by the people Of the state and OF
Bear Lake copnty. He was man
OF q most jovial disposition and no
matter what sorrows or tribulations
crossed his pathway. he invariably
met his friends with smile. and was
ever ready to relate to some amusing
incident which occurred during his
boyhood days in Kentucky or during
his service in the civil war.
For one who had experienced the
hardships Of war, including several
months in a federal prison, after be-
ing wounded, Mr.. Glenn enjoyed
good health UP to about year ago.
Since then his friends have noticed
that his old time vigor was gradually
fading away, although the old-time
smile and cordial greeting was man
ifested by him.
About six weeks ago he suffered
stroke OF apoplexy from which he
never recovered. He battled bravely
against death. but having reached the
age OF three score years and ten,
his constitution was 30 weakened that
the lamp of life gradually burned
lower and lower until the last spark
fickered out and he passed into eter-
nal sleep.
Thomas L. Glenn was born in Bal
lard county, Kentucky. Feb. 2, 1s47.
Soon after his fathers death. which

in his 18th year and fired with the
ambition to become q soldier. but his
repeated efforts to Join the ranks
were unavailing on account Of his
age. Not to be deferred, he sold
newspapers TO the soldiers then mob

Thought Cakes tainted,

Virginia loved to help her mother.
One day her mother was making a
special effort to bake prize cake for
the church fair and Virginia was all
interest. The cake rose beautifully
and appeared to be thoroughly done,
but when removed from the stove 1t
fell flat and had a sad streak through
the center. Another cake was immedi-
ately mixed in haste and little Vir-
ginia's eyes grew large as she listened
to her mother lamenting over the first
sad cale that had fallen. The second
baking proved the same as the first,
but the third attempt resulted in
veritable triumph. Virginia, however,
could not rally from the mornings
tragedy, and when her aunt came over
she exclaimed in great excitement:
"Oh, auntie, mother made three cakes
and two of 'em tainted"

from her bosom and passed it to the
hard-featured woman beside her.
There was silence around the table
for an instant. Then before Mrs. Mum

and held out his hand.

Mrs. Munson. 1t belongs to Miss Wing

'Tell them-are you, Ida?" whis-
pered Mr.. Root eagerly.
"Why-yes-of course" murmured
Miss Wingfeld shyly, and that was the
only proposal of marriage that she re-
ceived from the bookkeeper; but when
Easter dawned there were two we'd
dings from the Munson house and one
of the brides was Ida Wingfeld.

Ida Wingfeld slipped into her warm
cloak and went out into the snowy
streets. The wonderful valentine
burned against her heart; she was con-
scious of its proximity all day. 1t took
away the sting from the comic one she
found in her desk, and it upheld her
through trying day with her pupils.
Night found her coming home to the
boarding house and her dull room with
star-like eyes and flushed cheeks. She
looked positively lovely. Romance was
not dead after all.
Mrs. Munson came into the dining
room with Importance written on her
Sallow countenance.
miss Wingheld, I'm dreadfully sor-
ry but I'm afraid that valentine you
got this morning isn't for you, after all.
Along about noon lady came in from
next door and said that her name was
Wingfeld and wanted to know if any
mail for her had been left here by mis-
take. Said her name was Inez Wing

was for her."

More Food From New Islands.

Our new possessions in the Allan
tic-the Virgin islands-will become
more nearly self-supporting if the aim
of the United States department Of
agriculture is realized. A representa-
tive of the federal department in
vestigated the agricultural situation in
these islands last season and made
suggestions intended to help the peo-
pie there to produce more food.
The only crops the investigator found
under extensive cultivation were sugar
cane and Sea Island cotton, the yields
of which are low compared with other
West Indian islands. The representa-
tive found that there was an almost
complete absence of vegetables and
fruit on the markets, indicating very
limited supplies of locally grown food
materials. Stock growing Is followed
to some extent. but improved stock is
needed, better forage plants should be
introduced, and more attention Is
needed to the proper handling of stock.

room and had even asked Mr.. Root il
there was anything more he wished.
Second helpings of anything being

Expecting a valentine, Mr. Root r.

little stenographer, who was to be
married at Easter.
Mr.. Root blushed furiously and look.

valentines are important" teased
Ethel, for she liked the quiet little
gray man who had been bookkeeper
for twenty-five years in a downtown
warehouse. Mr.. Roots bachelor quar-
tiers at the top of the house had been
spoken of as a model of comfort by
the men of the Munson boarding house
but the women would have it that the
little man must be lonesome, and
among themselves they had secretly de-
cided that it would be a fitting ro.
nance if Mr.. Root married Miss Ida
Wingfeld, the schoolteacher who sat
at the end of the table.
Miss Wingfeld, once pretty, now
pale and tired, with rather a distin-
guished air lent by her abundant gray
hair, always played Mr.. Roots accom-
paniments when he brought his violin
down to the parlor.
There's the postman noww cried
Ethel Raymond eagerly.
A loud knock came at the basement
door and Selma plodded slowly to take
in the handful of letters.
Ida Wingfield picked up her valen-
tine, broke the seal with a reverent
finger and pulled out charming con-
coction of lace paper and golden hearts
and flying cupids. There were roses
and forget-me-nots and arrows scat
tered everywhere.
"Ah!' breathed the excited table as
Miss Wing1eld replaced it in the en-
velOpe.
"You are satisfied, Mrs. Munson?"
asked Mr., Root in a rasping tone.

Of soft maple cord and a half is re-
quired to equal one ton of coal, and of
cedar, poplar or Eastwood, two cords.
One cord of mixed wood, well sea-
soned, equals in heating value at feast
one ton of average-grade bitOminous
coal.
The most common method of making
cord wood is to cut the trees into four
foot lengths with. an ak and split the
larger pieces. The pieces are then
piled in a standard cord, which is
eight feet long, four feet high and four
feet wide. The contents are 128 cubic
feet, of which 20 per cent is wood and
80 per cent air.
Best Heating Value.
To have the best heating value as
well as to reduce the cost of hauling

HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD
A WOODCUTTER CUT IF

Taking white oak as fairly
typical of the hard woods and
white pine for the soft woods,
the figures below will show ap-
proximately the amount of cord
wood that may be cut from trees
of different sizes. The figures
will vary considerably with the
extent at which the tops and
branches are utilized and on the
taper of the tree trunks. With
forest-grown trees, utilizing the
branches and tops to about two
inches, these amounts may be
expected:
White Oak.
Ten inches in diameter, so feet
high, one-sixth to one-seventh of
a cord; 15 inches in diameter, 60
feet high, about two-fifths of a
cord; "a inches in diameter, 20
feet high, one and one-f1fth
cords.
White Pine.
Ten inches in diameter, so feet
high, One-eighth of a cord; 10
inches in diameter, 60 feet high,
one-third Of a cord; "a inches in
diameter, 20 feet high, seven
eighths of cord.
The Snowflake herald., 1918-02-08

which means drying it from six to
eight months when piled so as to get
good circulation of air. However,
so per cent of the moisture may be
removed in three months.
Because of the unusual demand for
cord wood it is believed that the
present time offers unparalleled op-
pOrtunity not only for farmers to i'm
prove their woodlands by cutting out
the poorer trees and selling them, but
for private and public owners of
wooded tracts to clear their lands at
a profit. Communities which feel they
are threatened with a serious fuel
shortage will do well to take measures
to stimulate the cutting of wood. Such
action may be viewed as part of
Americas cooperation in the national
endeavor to feed and sustain Ameri-
cas- army and allies.

joyful surprise. For it's the first time
I've known such thing to happen.
"'He's white red deer, but as for a
name we have called him Red-White.'
"'Too bad,' said one of the chill
dren, that he couldn't be called Red,
White and Blue. If he belongs to the
Red Deer family and has turned out
white himself, it would be ever so
nice if he had a little blue in him
