SHOE CONSERVATION

". H. Kelley, a lumber salesman, OF
Omaha. found Neolin Soles 50 tough
and durable that one pair OF soles
served on second pair Of uppers
after the first pair of uppers had worn
out in ten months of hard walking. :
And he says, Those same soles will
stand another ten months Of constant
daily wear"
This is unusual service even for
Neolin Soles but Mt. Kelley's expert
ence should indicate to you a method
of cutting down those rising shoe bills
you have to meet. Simply make sure
the new shoes you buy are Ne6lin-
soled and have worn shoes repaired
with these soles which are scientifically
made to be comfortable, waterproof
and exceedingly long-wearing. They
are made by The Goodyear Tire g.
Rubber Company, Akron. Ohio. who
also make Wingfoot Heels, g,laran-
teed to outwear any other heels.

Wild Hemp Growing in
Canada May Be Used for
Making Binder Irvine:

Wild hemp has possibilities for the
manufacture of binding twine and it's
cultivation may become a part of Can
ada's postwar industrial program.
The Indians of the coast and in
terror of central British Columbia have
long been famous as carvers, weav-
ers and boat-builders, but it was only
recently that attention was attracted
to the fine rope which they make from
wild hemp. At Awiligate in the Bulk
ley valley near New Hazelton there is
a village of Indians who display re-
markable skill in making rope from
the abundant wild hemp which covers
the surrounding country. They have
been making this rope for centuries
by method of their own, and it is
so strong that they use it for towing
their heavily laden canoes up the cur
rents of swift rivers. This is cOnvinc-
ing proof of it's stoutness. They also
make twine and thread from the hemp,
but not in such quantities as in the
days before they were able to pur-
chase these articles cheaply from
traders. The wild hemp closely re-
sembles the common fire weed of the
United States.

Indian Tribe Inhabiting
Attn Island, Alaska, Said
to Be the Poorest People

Windswept Attu island, a bit of
Alaska at the tip of the Aleutian
string, farther west than any other
part of North America, is the home of
a tribe of about 100 Aleut Indians,
said to be the poorest people, financial
ly, on earth.
Nature, however, provides these far
away Indians a living. From Attu
and the nearby islands and from the
surrounding waters they get eggs, fish,
geese, seals, occasionally walrus,
berries, and, lately. blue fox.
From the far south Pacific the
Japan current brings fuel. Driftwood
thought to be from the Philippine
islands, Hawaii and other southern
lands is scattered along Attu's beaches.
No trees grow on the island.

brought from the outside world by oc-

TIME TO START
POULTRY RAISING

AT no time in the history OF the
standardized poultry business mas
there been such a favorable opportunl-
ty for the beginner or small breeder
to make a good profit from poultry.
There has never been time when it
would pay so well to keep even small
flock In the back yard to supply the
family needs.
In conversation with backyard poul-
fryanan. writes a poultry expert, we
learned that from nine hens he had
secured enough eggs during the past
year to supply fresh eggs for the table
ace of family of three, and they had
eggs on the table at least one meal
every day. His feed bill was very
sfttle owing to utilizing the table
scraps, which, made into mash, made
I'M q nice part of the daily ration. The
saving in meat and egg bills was no
little item of expense, and, as he put
Il, ssThe expense and trouble are so
Mtfle it's just like finding them"
For the poultryman the future never
was brighter. The demand for stock,
eggs and baby chicks Is sure to be the
greatest in the history Of the business,
and those who have stuck through the
trying times of the past and those who
will take up the breeding Of standard
bred poultry will reap great harvest
during the next few years. The present
prices of market poultry and eggs,
hacked up by recent government re-
ports ON cold storage holdings. indi-
cate prices will continue to soar higher.
The man who is in the poultry bust
mess. or can get in even with a few
fowls will come out long way ahead,
even if only few are kept for his
Own family use-to reduce the adj
Haaced cost of living.

Lake of Salt in Australia
Supplies an Immense Crop
Carts and PloWS Are Used

In South Australia there is won
derful lake of pure salt. 1t is huge
depression in the earth which fills UP
In the winter months. In the summer
the water quickly evaporates, leaving
a thick deposit of pure salt. Seen
from a distance the surface of the
lake has all the appearance of being
covered with sheet of ice. The salt
Is so thick that strong men and even
carts and plows can traverse it with
perfect safety. Yet below the crust
there is a considerable body of slug
gish water. After the rays Of the sum-
mer sun have played their part, the
salt is gathered. This is a simple
operation, the salt being raked into
heaps, making pyramids that are a
striking feature of the landscape. The
salt is then shoveIed into carts and
conveyed to various works to undergo
the process of refining.
Gathering the salt is trying work ON
account of the great heat and the daz-
cling reflection, and it is often neces-
sary for the workers to wear colored
glasses to protect their eyes. After
the loose salt has been collected from
the surface a pillow is run over 1T,
when another harvest of the valuable
material can be reaped. The yield
of salt from this strange lake amounts
to several thousand tons year, and
1t is among the finest obtainable. The
lake is several square miles in area
and is naturally a very valuable
property.

OF THE EPIPHANY

Fair Eastern Star, thou art ordained to
run
Before the sages, to the rising sun,
Here cease thy course, and wonder that
the cloud
OF this poor stable can thy Maker
shroud;
Ye heavenly bodies glory to be bright,
And are esteemed as We are rich in light
But here on earth is taught different
way,
Since under this low roof the Highest lay.
Jerusalem erects~her stately towers,
Displays her windows and adorns her
bowers;
Yet there thou must not cast trembling
spark,
Let Herod's palace still continue dark;
Each school and synagogue thy force re-
pels,
There Pride enthroned in misty error
The temple, where the priests maintain
their choir,
Shall taste no beam of thy celestial fire.
While this weak cottage all thy splendor
takes;
A joyful gate of every chink it makes.
Here shines no golden roof, no ivory stair,
No king exalted in stately chair.
Girt with attendants, or by heralds styled.
But straw and nay enWrap SpeecnleSs
Child.
Yet Sabae's lords before this Babe unfold
Their treasures, offering incense, myrrh
and gold.
The crib becomes an altar; therefore dies
No OK nor sheep; for in their fodder lies
The Prince of Peace, who, thankful for
his bed
Destroys those rites in which their blood
was shed;
The quintessence of earth he takes, and
fees,
And precious gums distilled from weeping
trees;
Rich metals and sweet odors now declare
The glorious blessings which his laws
prepare,
To clear us from the base and loathsome
flood,
OF sense and make us f1t for angels food,
Who lift to God for us the holy smoke,
OF fervent prayers with which we him in
woke,
And try our actions In the searching fire,
By which the seraphims our lips inspire;
No muddy dross pure minerals shall in
feet,
We shall exhale our vapors up direct;
No storms shall cross, or glittering lights
deface
Perpetual signs which seek a happy place.
Sir John Beaumont.

Big Jobs Are Filled by the
Men Who Produce the Results

Some men are cursed with the abili-
ty to do chores. They can do all the
little tinkering jobs well and can't get
busy with the big ones until all the
petty tasks receive attention. To be
sure the great man is master of details.
He will know every step in his BUSH
ness. But he. will delegate to others
what belongs to their work. No man
can be the brains for the whole bust
ness. Neither can he be the handy
man for the concern and direct its
policy at the same time. If he is the
business is small. Where you find a
man who delights more in winding the
clock that he does In keeping his desk
clear you can mark him factotum and
recommend him to any one OF thou
sand big firms that need handy man.
But that's as far as he will get. The
big places are filed by men who get
down to business.

EmployingDisabled
Soldiers
EnsE.hmen Are Taking Their
Duty Seriously

Advertisements printed in the Lon
don papers by British business con-
Germs frequently carry this line:
"We have put disabled soldier on
our pay roll. Have your"
The extent to which the line is used
indicates that Englishmen are liking
their duty to employ injured British
soldiers very seriously. They are not
talking vaguely about the nations
debt to the army. They are paying a
debt to the men.
Every concern employing any con-
siderable number of men has places
that can be filled by partially disabled
men, and whenever such place is
filled the disabled soldier should have
the first chance.

Only the severity Of the climate
and lack Of adequate transportation
together with indifference on the part
of the government prevented the ST.
berian gold fields from becoming the
greatest in the world.
Alluvial gold was first found in the
Province Of Eniseisk in 1880. After
wards gold was discovered in great
amounts throughout the whole prov
ince. The gold is found In many
cases in the sand of rivers and small
streams.
The geological formation OF these
deposits varies, but in many cases
shows Proclamation Of slate rocks.
The thickness Of gold-bearing strata
varies in places from Ia feet to q
feet, and their extent from five-tenths
to 35 miles
The proportion of gold is also diff
rent, according to the depth OF the
deposit. A thin layer of alllvfum,
c.,lIed ''turf," usually covers the gold
strata.

piled in the following way. 1t is to be
remarked that when potatoes are
stored up after being well cleaned be-
forehand, they commence to exude
moisture, and must be gone over again.
The storage place is sprinkled with
quicklime, and each layer Of three or
four inches Of well dried potatoes Is
sprinkled over with lime; the same
on the outside of the pile. When sort
ing as above stated. the imperfect
ones need not be thrown away, but the
bad parts cut out and the rest fed to
stock after cooking or passing through
dryer or baking in furnace; or they
can be sent to q starch factory If one
is near by. AS to the amount of lime
to be used, the proper quantity is
about ten pounds of lime to 1000
pounds of potatoes.
