The Wav to the Pole.

Service WITH the American air
forces in France adds weight to the
opinion of Donald b. Macmillan, Arc
tic explorer and leader of the Croker
land expedition, that the airplane is
not adapted for a dash TO the pole,
and that the cost of such a trip by
dirigible would be proEibitive. In his
own future explorations, Mr.. MacMii-
Ian says, he expects tC depend on the
'fever-faithful dogs" for conveyance.
The airplane is, in his Judgment. I'M
practicable for several reascas, one of
which is, he says, sufficient to dis
count the idea of successful Arctic
exploration by hardy airmen. The
frozen north offers no smooth fields
of ice on which the explorer could
make landing. A dirigible might
start from a properly equipped hangar
in Labrador and hope to return, but
the total cost of the expedition would
probably be about S1,000,0U0.

EAGER TO SEE ELEPHANT
First One That Was Brought to the
United States Aroused the Ut
most Curiosity.

Nowadays, when summer in the
United States would hardly seem itself
without the coming Of circus, it is
difficult to realize the excitement
aroused by the first exhibition of an
elephant. A now-forgotten Snowman,
Hackaliah Bailey, is said to have i'm
ported the first elephant nearly hun
dred years ago, and the animal was
a whole show in himself. The circus
tent had not yet come into being, and
the elephant was shown in barns in
the Eastern states that then held the
bulk of the population. To prevent the
public from seeing the show without
charge, the elephant travelled from
place to place in the night; but even
so, the public refused to be wholly cir
cumvented, and small companies gath
cred with bonfires ready to light when
the strange creature came numbering
past on his way to the next town.
Sometimes, however, the management
defeated this intention by sending
along the road horse built up TO look
like an elephant in the dark, and when
the bonfire had been lighted and had
burned out, the real elephant followed.

In Apple Blossom Time.

A wedding attended was held in an
orchard in apple blossom time. One or
the women wore red shirtwaist. In
the midst of the service a bull in a
pasture in the next field rushed in at
the red shirtwaisted woman, who
climbed a tree before the bull arrived.
The rest of the party and myself did
likewise. The brides veil fell of,
which embarrassed her exceedingly.
The shirtwaist was thrown over the
fence and the bull subdued, and the
wedding continued in peace. The
woman FASTENED home after new
shirtwaist, wearing her husbands

ANOTHER OF WARS RESULTS
Direct Connection Traced Between
Great Conflict and the Annoying
Scarcity of Laundresses.

This is from Alexandria, our neigh
boring city down the Potomac.
Housekeepers there are having quite
time getting 'help." especially some
one to do the family wash. The ne
cessity for clean clothes is one which
devolves upon civilized beings. Wars
may come and wars may go. but the
washtub and washboaTd go on forever.
But it has been hard to get laun-
dress in Alexandria. Wartime condi-
tons have enabled many who earned
their living at the tub to turn to less
arduous pursuits, with the result that
there is a scarcity of wash ladies"
The condition is one paralleled in
many other cities.

woman, addressing a colored woman
whom she had known for many years,

Replantina Forests.

In England and in Scotland, before
the war, were many hunting ranges
and sporting grounds. During the war.
however, these were cut down to sup
.pIy munition factories ut home and
armies abroad. Never before. it is
said. have these countries been so bare
of timber as they are at present. But
now they are preparing to replant
their forests. The old ones were first
of all ornamental but incidentally they
proved useful. These which they are
planting now are to be first of all use
full and also. of course, ornamental.

TELLS GOOD ROADS NEEDS
Farm and FIreslde Explains Best
| Plan for Oval Surface-shouId
ee Flat AZ Possible.

Everybody agrees that the surface
Of q road must be oval In its con-
tour" says Farm and FiresIde, "but
not all understand that this oval
ought to be as fiat as the character
Of the road material and the lay Of
the land will permit. With brick or
concrete construction the oval may
be very fiat, because the traffic makes
no ruts to carry the water lengthwise
Of the road, nor does the pavement
soften and develop depressions when
kept In contact with water.
"But broken stone (water-bound
macadam), being susceptible to pene-
tration by water. and subject to great
damage If frozen while soaked. must
be given higher oval; and for gravel
roads still sleeper pitch Is de-
manded.
"As for earth roads. the steepness
must be governed by the combined
influence Of number of factors.
Perhaps the leading factor is the
quality Of the earth in each pa'ticu.
lar case. And next might be placed
the presence or absence of 'seeps' or
'spouts', while another of these vital
factors would be the longitudinal
pitch Of the highway"

FOR THE MAID AT SCHOOL
Coming Seasons Styles Sufficiently
Advanced to Allow Of a Judicious
Selection Now.

Preparation of the wardrobe of the
girl who goes away to school should
be begun early. Fortunately fall
styles have already been sufficiently
settled SO that making up simple
dresses, blouses, etc, for school wear
may be done along next season style
specifications.
Smocks now being brought out for
fall emphasize the strong hold this
garment has acquired. The Cossack
smock is an interesting model. This
is cut on straight lines and Is some
what longer than the conventional
smock. The Jersey weaves either In
silk or wool (fber silk is more fire.
quently employed than pure silky are
popular fabrics, and brilliantly con-
trasting silk floss, heavy wool or
chenille Is used to embrolder the gar
ment.
One Of these smocks will be found
excellent for sport wear during the
late summer or early fall days. The
young college or hlgh-school girl will
find such garment matched with a
-Vlain wool fabric skirt very useful.

SCHOOL NOTES

Six Of our teachers attended the
State Association held in Denver
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
last week This was one of the best
Conventions held in many years.
About 90 percent of the teachers of
the state were present, and splendid
talent was secured to address them.
Everyone feels that the time and
money was well spent. The recent
storm made travelling rather unplea-
SAINT but by Tuesday neon al the
teachers were back ready for work
again.
Attendance "Wednesday was very
low since only one truck came in
and IL was a surprise tnat IL got
through Mr. Kurk was the driver
who succeeded in making the trip.
Mr. Addington and Mr. Fritz made
their trips Monday, but since the
teachers were not here nc school was
held. All the drivers Gho have br h..

encountered much difficulty with
drifts and poor roads. We hope ey-

will go smoothly again

EARLIEST BLIZZARD !.
SINCE FALL 1911

II memory serves us right. the
past week has given this country the
earliest blizzard since the fall OF
1911, and in point of severity. this
beats anything We have had for sew
eral winters
II started to snow Saturday morn
ing and continued to grow worse
until Monday morning. The wind
blew gale most of the time and the
snow sifted into barns and outbuild-
ings so that cattle and all kinds OF
stock were but little protected from
the snow in any but the very best OF
barns.
Monday morning the wind died
down. but roads were in bad shape.
Most of the school teachers were
stranded on their way home from
the state teachers association, at
Sterling, and no trains attempted to
get through on this branch.
Late in the day two cars went to
Fort Morgan and two came this way
from the same place.
Tuesday double header pushing
a fiat car behind snow plow went
west from Sterling, but no trains
aside from that on that day.
Wednesday the same train went
back and cleared the track out again
About noon Tuesday the wind
started up for frolic and "A little
snow fell, so that for time lasting
most of the afternoon was about as
wild as any winter weather that Wis
its this section. The driver of the
stage route from Morgan arrived a
little after noon with badly frozen
right ear and decided to postpone
his return trip to the following day
The snow fall is hailed as a fine
thing for the winter wheat, but not
at all favorable to coal famine con-
ditions.

POWELL PLEASES
SMALL AUDIENCE

The second number Of the Lecture
Course drew the worst sort OF wealth
er, and only few people got out to
hear Mr.. Powell.
We should judge that less than
fifty were present, but the lecturer
got down to business just the same
and told us many things that it
would do us good to pay attention
to.
We think that most of the aud
fence felt well satisfied with the
lecture. There were several excep-
tionally fine passages that brought
laughter and applause.
The next number of the course is
to be the Fighting Americans, on
Tuesday, December 16th.

safer to provide belts. The additional
cost is SO cents. but the assurance that
the belt may lead to the sale of the

worth the extra money. This con-
cern finds that at present waist-seam

Two Ruts Caused to Form Where
There Was but One Before
Work When Road 10 Wet.

Patching is usually neglected or
done In such way as to cause two
ruts to form where there was but one
before. That Is the invariable result
Of filling rut too full. This work
should always be done when the road
u vet, preferably when the water Is
still standing In every little hollow on
the road surface, SO that the workmen
can just see where to place the new
gravel and about how much is needed.
Unless the rut is very large one,
It Ii always best to shovel the gravel
from the wagon into 1t, rather than to
raise sldeboard and attempt to dump
4 part Of the load.
