Be Careful When You Smoke in the Woods

IF THE manufacturers of cigars and
cigarets adopt the suggestion of
the agricultural department their new
billboard advertising this summer will
bear fire-prevention slogans like these
in big lettering:
Don't drop FIRE when you smoke in
the woods, nor throw it out along the
road. Keep the forests GREENE
DANGER! Matches, pipes, Goals, ci-
gar stubs and cigaret ends start many
forest fires. Help protect woods,
streams, scenery.
BE CAREFUL! Don't start fire in
the woods when you begin or end your
smoke! Be sure your match, cigaret
or pipe it OUT.
DON'T START WHAT YOU CAN'T
STOP! Be careful with fire in and
near the forest.
FIRE is DANGEROUSl Be care
full when you smoke in the woods.
LOOK OUT! When you smoke in
woods; don't start a forest fire.
YOUR COOPERATION with this
company to keep down forest fires is
asked. Break your match in two.
Knock out your pipe ashes into your
hand. Don't drop a burning cigaret.
FOREST FIRES cost millions a
year. Don't start one.
DON'T THROW FIRE AWAY in the
woods or along the road.

pairing appropriation bills heretofore
handled by seven different committees.
Under the new system the appro-
priations committee Of the house will
be made up of thirty-five members.
There have been twenty-one members
Of the committee heretofore. In the
past the appropriations committee has
handled such annual supply measures
as the legislative, executive and judi
cial bills, the sundry civil bills and
the various deficiency bills.
The six other committees whose
power in handling appropriations have
been transferred to the appropriations
committee are those on military af-
fairs, naval affairs, agriculture, foreign
affairs, post Office and Indian affairs.
These committees will henceforth ham
die general legislation relative to their
various fields but will lose their pow
er over fiscal matters.
The change in rules does not affect
the committee on rivers and harbors,
which will continue the preparation Of
the annual rivers and harbor appro-
priations bill, or the committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds, which will
handle public buildings measures.

The Lowly Corncob. and Its $40 Furfural

DROBABLY you think of corncob
i as handy thing to eat green
corn from and the thing from which
the good old missouri meerschaum"
is made. Stop, look, read! Henceforth
you must know the lonely corncob as
the source of furfural and half a
dezen other things, but especially fur
ipral. The chemists Of the agricultural
department. have discovered that the
corncob is a regular catch-all Of good
Ahings.
Up to this time furfural has been so
rere that 1t has sold as high as $40
a pound. Every ton Of corn cobs will
yield about thirty pounds Of furfural
~ by-product, and the chemists esti-
mate that it can be manufactured in
this way for less than 20 cents
pound. What It will sell for is another
story.
Furfural Is what the chemists cali a
basic intermediary in dyes. That
means that you may make about as
many kinds OF dye out Of furfural as
good cook can make good things to
eat out Of flour. They have shown
at least a dozen different shades Of
cloth dyed with furfwal. It is
highly useful, too, in the manu-
facture Of paints and. lacquers and

serious injury.
Crawford county has more than l67.-
600 head of livestock, running into
millions in money valuation. The value
Of this stock is being enhanced for the
reason that breeders and farmers have
become convinced that the way to Sc
cure the best results in stock raising is
to introduce the pure blood in their
herds, and abandon the scrub sire and
the low-glade female animals.

herd was started in 1881 or 1882, and
Mr.. Durham has been improving the
herd ever since. He and others had
faith in the developing Of Yfvestock, i and
the result is to be found In scores OF
herds on the farms Of the county today.
In the breeding of swine, there are
many pioneers who started in with
what was then considered the best Of

different breeds until today many breed
