The most expensive wood in the
world is said to he the lockwood i'm
ported from Turkey for the use of en-
gravers. The cost ranges from four
cents a square inch up to ten cents
square inch for the best grade Aa
ordinary wagon load of lockwood
would cost many thousand dollars. A
string of beads made Of 1t would be
a fairly expensive piece of jewelry.

HOOVER ASKS STATE
TO give HER WHEAT
TO ARMY and NAVY

Colorado has been called upon BY
State Food Administrator Thomas b.
Stearns to tighten its belt and send
all OF its excess wheat to American
soldiers and sailors.
This latest wheat order erranating
from Herbert Hoover asks that every
public concern and individual report
to the nearest county food admins.
traitor any flour on hand in excess to
. months supply before May l. A
months supply is estimated on the
basis Of six pounds a month for each
person.
In Colorado there are approximate
ly 100000 people and each one, un-
der the law. is allowed six pounds OF
wheat a month. This makes the
monthly consumption OF wheat be-
tween now and the harvest amount to
$4,000 900 pounds-2i 600 .OU0 that Col.
orado can, II she will. send to the
fighting line of France.
We are counting on the splendid
spirit Of Coloradoans 10 make 1t un-
necessary for the government thru
this Food Administration to comman-
deer the stored and boarded wheat"
Food Administrator Stearns declared
emphatically, but Americas fighters
must have wheat and Americas al
lies must be fed during these hours Of
their great need. and II Colorado
should disappoint us and refuse to re-
linQuish her excess store willingly We
will have to take it from her"
The Food Administration is making
arrangements for storehouse in
which the flour will be cared for until
1t can be loaded onto cars and sent
direct to some designated point.
Farmers may turn over their supply
to the nearest mill and elevator and
definite points are being named BY
county administrators at which indi.
viduals can turn over their wheat
supply

When Everyone LAUGHS.

Bert Williams. the greatest colored
comedian the stage has ever known,
has written an article to the American
Magazine, In which he says:
Zone of the funniest sights In the
world Is a man whose hat has been
knocked In or ruined by being blown
off-provided, of course, 1t be the other
fellows hat. All the jokes In the world
are based on q few elemental ideas,
and this is one of them. The sight of
other people In trouble is nearly al
ways funny. This is human nature.
If You will observe your own conduct
whenever you see friend falling down
on the street, you will find that nine
times out Of ten your first impulse Is
to laugh and your second is to run and
help him get up. To be polite you will
dust off his clothes and ask him II he
has hurt himself. But when II is all
over you cannot resist telling him how
funny he looked when he was falling.
The man with the real sense of humor
is the man who can put himself in the
spectators place and laugh at his OVID
misfortunes."

PATHOS IN CHILDISH WISH
Hard That Her Modest Request Of
Santa Claus Was Not Likely
to BE Granted.

A little miss of five, who had been
separated from her mother, sisters
and brother since the death of her IA
Their, was permitted to spend a few
days with them short time age.
This little girl has everything a
childish heart could wish for and more
love bestowed an her than NEST chill
dren who are blessed with beth par
ents. She was very happy during her
brief visit, but now and then her brave
little heart would fail her, and she
would cry at the thought of being sep
arated again.
One Outburst came after a talk on
st. Nicholas and the yuletide. Moth
er, does Santa Claus bring everything
we ask fort"
"Well, dear, Santa usually brings To
little boys and girls those things which
are most necessary for their hapEtsess.
Why, what would you like to have him
bring TO you this year?'
"Well, mother, all / want this year
is you"
Evidently the panied expression ON
the mothers face caused the child 70
fear that her wish could net be
granted.
"Well, mother, l don't see why he
couldn't. He brings babies TO some
people on Christmas when they ask
him to and don't you remember all Of
the toys he left for us last year?'-
