HUNTING PARENTS OF ,
TO SPUR HOME BUILDING

St. Paul, Oct. 14.-Northwest lum-
bermen who have been handicapped.
by the obstacles of freight delays
and uncertainty in building opera
lions are seeing hope for home build
ers in the fruits of the freight rate
advance. The National Lumber
Manufacturers association recently
gave out some decisively concrete fig
ures on added costs for which they
expect to find commensurate compen-
sation for the home builder in his
operations. For instance they figure
that the railway will not be able to
correct the car delays and deterior-
ated rolling stock troubles which have
doubled the time in transit in the
last few years. These difficulties
have compelled the retail lumbermen
to carry three times as large a stock
as lie did a few years ago when con-
ditions were normal, and the resulted
in the hating of home building.
Most of the lumber used in the
building of homes along the line OF
the Great Northern Railway comes
from the Pacific northwest. Lumber
men declare the new freight rate will
not make the building movement lag
a bit, but on the contrary will spur
it on as a result Of improved railway
service. This freight rate increase
will mean only nominal added cost

% AhDS BLAZE TRAIL
On ROAD! TO MANDALAY'

Fresh from the hold of the steamer
that lcarried them overseas, two new
Overland cars, part of the first con-
siKnment of new cars to reach the
shores of India, blazed the trail over
$fss.'the road to Mandalay" made famous

making this descent, however, the
only damage done was the ripping on

varying from four to 40 miles an

fleeing into their stockades and bar

held next year and that these two
will be greater and even more sue

Berlin. (By Mail. despite the
slumping tendency in German indus
try at this time, it Is remarkable
that some important branches are

= Connections between shipyards and
coal and iron works are being made
in increasing numbers. The ship
yards are making feverish efforts to
renew Germany's commerce fleet. 49,
Such reconstruction is given an i'm
petus by the recent agreement be-

Benson of the U. S. shipping board
has described these agreements as

. Here in Germany, one regards them
as affording field for activity for the
old German companies and a start
ing point for quicker rebuilding
Of the German fleet than one could
have expected under the Versailles
treaty conditions.
The German realizes that the AM
erican agreement is not made out OF
friendship for Germany, and he feels
that there is in it clever move to as
sure Americas standing on the seas
as against English competition. And,
England, manifestly is viewing the
arrangement with the angry feeling
of the paetgekommenen" (the
too late *arrived) and, it is possible
that England will strive, perhaps sue
cessfully, to make other connections
with Germany for cooperation in
the shipping line. ~

Senator Harding in making a
speech never resorts to the old, fash
toned trick of leisurely pouring out
glass Of water to give the audience
time for generous applause and then
taking only a bare sip Of it. He
never drinks during an address.
H. C. L. item: On the last speak

wearing the summer hat she had at
the Chicago convention.
Marion local No. l Of the Order
of the Elephant has been organized
by newspapermen assigned to cover
Harding. He was made Chief
Mahout at the organizations first
dinner here. The order is non
political and designed solely to give
presidential candidates a chance to
get away from politics and be pri-
vate citizens for a few hours.
It is a question who works harder
during Harding speech, the Sandi-
date or Mrs. Harding. She always
sits within arms reach Of him and
every word spoken by the senator is
formed on her own lips.
At Wheeling the crowd in the
streets was so dense that Senator and
Mrs. Harding riding in separate auto
mobiles got separated. She got to

that bees should not he given their

of pollen available on willows and soft
naples close by.
If there is no pollen available out
side the hives In April, or the weather
is too bad for the bees to go out, the
keeper should provide combs Of pollen.
Among other things suggested by
Mr.. France for bees just given their
freedom are these:
Clean water in a warm nook In the
bee yard.
Food enough to last until May 20
In the form of sugar, sirup, or combs

GROWING SOY BEANS IN CORN
Farmers Pleased With Results OBJ
tained by Using Crops for S!age
and Hogqinq Down.

The Iowa agricultural experiment
station says that Iowa farmers who
have been growing soy beans in corn
for sllage or hogging down, furnish
almost conclusive proof of tine value
of the combination.
Some 800 farmers throughout the
state co-operated with the experiment
station in the growing of these crops.
Over 700 of these men were well
pleased with the results and said that
they would use the combination Of
soy beans and corn more extensively
in the future. More than half of the
number of co-operators reported that
the yield of corn was increased rath-
er than decreased.
Statements such as "Didn't decrease
corn yield" Coming crop to mix with
corn silage," "very good crop" "Expect
to plant beans with every hill OF corn
next year." were included in the farm
Frs reports to the experiment station.
Soy beans are high in protein con-
tent. and therefore the mixed silage is
richer than corn silage. The corn
yield is not decreased on soil Of good
fertility, and yield of little less
than one-half a ton of soy beans per
acre Is received. These facts should
make soy beans popular crop.
