Where Your Fence
Posts Come From

The split cedar posts you buy come
chiefly from Idaho. They are from
the Western Red Cedar trees. close
kin to the Eastern Abor Vitae or
White-Cedar OF the lake states. They
are fairly durable unless i'm, incipient
decay is already in them. This de-
cay is difficult TO detect but hastsns
the deterioration of the post when set
in the ground. Our common shingles
are obtained from the same species
OF trees.
The so. called Tennessee Cedar IL
the Eastern Red Cedar, the same that
IS used for pencil wood. and cedar
chests and close kin TO the Rocky
Mountain red cedar, which is equally
resistant TO decay and similar In most
respects. AT some what double the
cost OF the split cedar post IL is well
worth the difference hecause of its
great Durability.
The creosoted southern pine posts
are mainly from long-leaf pine and
their durability is largely due to the
creosote which. IL properly used.
should render the post worth the
price. The deeper the penetration OF
the creosote the longer the post will
last
The native pitch pine" post is
usually our native Western yellow
pine, OF the foothill region. Certain
trees injured usually by fire naturally
become impregnafed with pitch. which
renders the wood immune 10 large
degree from fungous growth. the
cause OF decay. Since pitch posts
command next 10 Tennessee cedar she
highest price. the durability OF such
posts ia remarkable.
Good results have been obtained TO
date on the state farm by using Gre
osoted posts from FIRE killed lodge
pole pine and Engiemann spruce from
our Colorado sorests.--w. j. Morrill,.

PERSHING'S ANCESTORS ma.
TIVES OF ALSACE.LORRAINR
(By Associated Press.l

Greensburg, Pa, March %. Cen
eral John j. Pershing fulfilled the
wish OF an ancestor that a member
OF the Pershing family should save
Alsace-Lorraine, when he led the vic ].
torious American armies against the
Germans. This fact is disclosed by
che Rev. Justus N. Pershing, a cous-
in of General Pershing, who has made
public letter written in Alsace-Lor-
raine more than 200 years ago by
Frederick Pershing, General Persh-
ing's great-great grandfather. In this
letter the Generals ancestor ex-
pressed the hope that his son, Freder-
lex Pershing Jr., orb is descendants
would come back some day and re-
deem the fair lands OF Alsace-Lor-
raine from oppression.
According to the letter, the PERISH
ings lived In the village OF Kehe, in
Alsace-Lorraine in 1774 and fought
under Emperor Charles against the
Magyars. Soon after that when @
law was passed that all able-bodied
men between the ages of 16 and so
must join the landwehr to protect
their country from ravages by the
Austrians, Frederick Pershing, Sr..
sent his son to America. Frederick
Pershing, Jr., reached this country in
1749 and after marrying a Miss Wy
ant in Baltimore, settled in West
moreland county. Pennsylvania,
where General Pershing's grandpar-
ents were born.

There is probably no more popular
man in public life in Florida today
than Congressman Drane. His earn.
est and conscientious devotion to his
duty as representative of the people
Of his district has won for him the es.
TEEN and admiration of many who had
previously regarded him with very lit.

While Mr.. Drane is at all times a
very interesting and entertaining talk.
er, his rmelation Of the fight put up by
himself and Senator Fletcher In SO.
curing the appropriation for the Sara.
sofa Bay project is especially inter.
esting and shows that both he and
Mr.. Fletcher have deep interest in
the progress of this section.
Mr.. Drane went back to Washing.
ton against the advice of his physi
clan In order to give his influence to
securing this project.
He is enthusiastic OF the beauty
and possibilities of the Sarasota Bay
and often refers to a trip down the
bay last year, which he enjoyed q
great deal, stating that in his opinion
Sarasota is one of the most beautiful
places on the coast of Florida.
Mr.. Drane predicts an extra session
of congress about the first of June.
While in the city efforts were made
to get Mr.. Drane to stay over and en-.

able to do, but stated that he might
be able to come down for a day or

kilograms from Senator Park

the question of why members of Bat.

meeting Of these parents and friends
Mr.. Francke wired both Florida SEN
ators and Representative Drane. No
reply has yet been received from Sen
ator d. U. Fletcher. The reply from
Representative Drane indicates that
the men are soon to be released while
that Of Senator Trammell seem to
substantiate the rumor that they are
being held because Of some offense
charged to them before leaving
France. Some question attaches to
the meaning of the wording of the
telegram sent by Senator Trammell,
who uses the term supply company"
before the designation Battery B.
Senator Trammell's message reads:
MEN Of supply company Battery
B, Gath Coast Artillery, being held on
account of some offense charged to
them before leaving France"
The telegram from Representative
Drane reads:
Am advised by Chief Coast Artil-
lery that boys of Company B, 64th
Battery C. A. are to be released in
near future, think they will be mus.
tered out early in April IL not before"
Chairman Francke last night wired
