DAMPNEss is HARD ON TIRES
Water Inside of Breaker Causes
Rapid Disintegration-Good Roads
Are Favored.

Wet weather is very destructive to
tires that are partly worn out. The
average motorist is apt to think of his
tires as being made only of rubber.
and therefore waterproof.
A partly worn tire is a long ways
from being waterproof, however, and
the other materials that enter into
its construction are decidedly subject
to damage from water. When water
gets inside the breaker strip of a tire
and into the fabric and friction gum,
it causes rapid disintegration. One
reason why our good roads make tires
last longer is that. they dry quickly
after rain. About the only good thing
that can be said for our dry winter is
the fact that tires last longer.

the spring of 1917, were $50 to $35
month and board. In 1913 and 1919 the
rate jumped to $50 to $65 month, and
in some instances as high as SIS or
$S5 has been paid. Just now, because
Maine is pretty well stocked, the de-
mand for labor and the price show a
declining tendency. But in the United
States as whole the supply Of wood
is short Of the demand, and there
seems to be no prospect Of lower
prices either Of labor or product.
One operator in Maine, Massa-
chusetts man, who got into the lum-
Der business through his love Of ma
ture, cut last year on Molunceus and
the east branch Of the Penobscot
10000 cords, or 10, 100000 feet, Of pulp
wood and 100000 feet Of long logs,
and will cut this year 10000 cords, or
100000 feet Of pulp wood, employ
ing 600 men at $62 a month and
board or for piece work, $3.50 to 1915
a cord.
The common impression is that all
wood pulp is made into paper and
IudL lnG luCIGdSCu uSludAu LUZ AOWS-
print alone is responsible for the de-
mutation Of our forest lands. 1t Is
true that most of the pulp goes to
satisfy the appetite Of the printing
presses, but there have been devel-
oped in recent years many and vari-
Gus other uses for the fiber Of the
spruce and poplar. Innumerable
articles are now made of wood pulp
doors, dishes, buttons, boards, boxes,
pie plates by the million, trunks and
car wheels, and milady who parades
the avenue, proud Of her gown Of
tricolette, may be surprised to learn
that in that silken fabric is woven
the fiber Of the spruce that she owes
something Of the luster and durable
texture Of her flnery to the fragrant
forests Of Maine.

NEW EYELIDS MADE FROM LEG
Operation Restores Sight Of Maine
Man Injured Forty-seven
Years Ago.

Bangor, Me.-Forty- seven years
without closing his eyes, then period
of total blindness, followed by COM
plete restoration Of sight, this is the
experience of John Randolph Watson
Of the town Of Standish.
Mr.. Watson was a photographer in
Indianola, and in 1856 an explosion of
chemicals burned away his eyelids, al
though the sight was not affected. But
with unprotected eyes he continued
for nearly half century, three years
of the period being spent in Alaska,
where the severity Of the climate
caused cataracts to form on both eyes
and results in loss of sight.
He went to Philadelphia later, where
he formerly lived for a time, and was
at the Hahnemann hospital, and by
grating flesh from his leg he got a
new set Of eyelids. The success of the
operation is now assured. The cata-
racts were removed and the sight has
been restored.

MASSACRE OF JEWS
Three-Day Slaughter by Russians
in Odessa.
Hebrews of Ukraine and Bessarabia
Proclaim IA Days Mourning for
the Dead.

London, Aug. Semioff1cial Polish
sources have received reports that
General Gregorieff's troops, which
are occupying Odessa, surrounded the
Jewish quarter and began massa-
ere, which lasted three days and
nights.
Russian soldiers of Gregorieff's
command, it is stated, carried out the
massacre. The Jews of the Ukraine
and Bessarabia have proclaimed a
mourning period of IA days.
General Gregorieff entered Odessa
early in the present month after Sc
we're fighting and at the time was
quoted as saying that he was ready
to join the allies in combined attack
on the bolsheviki if they began an Of
fensive on the Dniester river
Cecil B. Harmsworth, British under
secretary for foreign affairs, said in
the house Of commons July s that
General Gregorieff was stated to be
strongly anti-Jewish in his sympathies.
The under-secretary made this declara-
ton in announcing that many Jews
had lost their lives in the course Of
the operations between the Russian So
Wet forces and those of General Gre
gorieff, who was in command of the
Ukrainian antibolshevist army.

DANGER OF WOOD
FAMINE IS SEEN
Logging used to begin in November
and end in March. Now 1t goes on at
Saw Mills Small Factor.

Saw Mills Small Factor.
The saw mill Is small factor in
the great game Of turning Maine for
ests into money. The long log
ger, that Is, he who cuts for sawmills,
is almost extinct. The big sawmill
drives are seen no more. This is the
day of the '.four-foot stuff" which
makes up most Of the drives and gives
business to the railroads. The pulp
mills eat up so many millions Of feet
of spruce that speculative and statis-
teal persons wonder where it all
comes from and how long the supply
will last. So far as Maine is con-
cerned there need be no fear Of a wood
famine very soon, but at the pres
ent rate Of cutting there is bound to
be scarcity In the United States with
in few years that will send prices
flliting.
The present annual consumption of
pulp wood east Of the Mississippi
river is about 100000 cords, or $780,
100000 feet. That is using wood at a
reckless rate, even with a big supply
in sight. But there is greater drain
upon our wood resources. Fire takes
more than the mills. The eastern
slope Of the Rockies is 70 per cent
burnt land, and the timber map is
splotched with great black patches all
the way from Puget sound to the
Penobscot. In some parts of Maine
the burnt area greatly exceeds the
green. In the South the pine and the
cypress are being cut away at an
alarming rate, and in the Pacific states
the Douglas fir and other growths are
being turned into money as rapidly
as possible.
To make up for all the cutting, lit
tie is being done. Scientific forestry
is making some progress, but as yet
efforts in that direction are as nothing
compared with tree slaughter. Re
forestation Is being carried on In some
states. as on small scale, in Maine,
but tree doesn't grow in day. A
big spruce may be feIled in five min
utes, but It's reproduction will re
quire 40 years.
1t is not altogether a question Of
wood supply, either. AS the forests go
the floods will come, waterpowers
will fail and all industry will suf-
fer. Therefore, there must be lot
Of tree planting in this country, else
pretty much everything will 60 by the
board.
Advance In Pulp Wood Values.
The advance in pulp wood values
within 80 months has been remark
able, even for the times. Before the
entrance Of this country into the war,
peeled wood delivered in the mill yard
in Maine was worth SO a cord.
Now the price is $1S in Maine and in
New York state 500 cord. This adj
vance is due in part to higher wages
and in part to little profiteering or a
turn Of thrift by the land owners.
Wages before the war, that is, up to

vermin Adds to Cost
Of Producing Pork

Washington, d. C.-Lice add
a cent a pound to the cost of
producing pork. This has been
found in tests just completed
at the experiment farm Of the
United States department of
agriculture at Beltsville, Md.
Twentyfour lousy hogs were
secured and divided into two
lots as nearly equal as to quality
of animals as possible.
The two lots were managed
and fed the same way with the
exception that one lot was trent
ed to prevent lice. The animals
were weighed at regular inter-
walls and at the end of the fat
tening period it was found that
the hogs infested with lice cost
a cent pound more to fatten
than those which were free Of
the troublesome pest.
Inc oHclalS OF the depart
ment who had charge of this ex-
pertinent give an interesting
side light in connection with
securing the lousy animals.
They communicated with some
Of the departments field men,
asking them to locate lousy
hogs. 1t was some time before
a reply was received to this
surprising order. After the
lousy hogs were purchased the
owner learned why, and he i'm
mediately built dipping vat
and began to treat the animals
to prevent lice.

Survey Is Made.
The bureau of markets conducted an
extensive survey of sixty motor routes
to ascertain the defective practices and
as far as possible to suggest improve
ment which would stabilize the indus
try. The bureau found that rural
freight is hauled by the farmer who
owns truck and handles his personal
marketing as well as that of his neigh
Dor by motor, by the local truck oper-
ators who haul farm produce as bust
ness, by the local automobile or truck
agencies that operate transportation
trucks as a side line. by the city trans
fer company which also engages in
rural hauling, and by the large corpor-
alton which operates fleet of trucks
over wide range of territory. Natur-
ally with such diversity in the haul
ing agencies, there is similarly wide
range in their methods of doing bust
