The Compass Plant.

On the prairies and plains Of Utah,
Texas and southern Minnesota there
grows a wonderful plant which has
proved useful to travellers wandering
over these vast tracts of country. 1t
Is called the compass plant or pilot
plant, because of popularity in the
growth of the leaves, which grow al
ternately along the stalk, and point
precisely north and South! The In
dams followed the direction given them
by these pointing leaves, and told the
white men about 1t. This plant be-
longs to the family Of the Compositae,
and looks very much like the sun
flower. 1t has a strong, resinous
odor, somewhat like turpentine, and
sometimes goes by the name Of "tur-
pentine plant" - Christian Science

IRON RIVER
From Iron River Pioneer
FIRST STAGE OF
HIGHWAY DONE
The Ord Company Has Trunk
Line Road project 12D
Ready for Surfacing.

The first stage of construction work
on Trunk Line 10 between Angus
Crossing and a point two miles this
side of Moquah, has been finished by
the Ord Company, and the next work
on this section will be the covering.
Mr.. Runquist, directing head OF
the Ord Company, advises us that
the engineers ;. connected with the
State Highway Commission have
selected materials for surfacing, and
that he win start at this work right
away. Clay, containing some gravel,
and said to be very good material
for surfacing, is found in some OF
the cuts along the roadway that
passes through the sand hills in the
Topside and Spider Lake regions,
and this is the material that will be
used. The finding of material sat
isfactoring for covering along the
route, instead of hauling from a long
er distance, will unquestionably effect
considerable of a saving.
The clay stretch on the eastern
end of the project will be covered
with coarse sand or gravel, and 1T
expected that the entire route will
be placed in disable shape this fall.
The contract for the construction
of that section Trunk Line 10 from
Angus Crossing to this city will be
let next Monday. The Ord Company
is bidding on the job and if it lands
the contract, work will start be-
fore the ink on the contract is dry,
for it has needed equipment on the
ground, and is ready to commence
operations Immediately. The pro-
iect to be let Monday is about three
miles in length and as it passes
through fairly level country, there
will not be many fills and cuts to be
made, and these not to be large.
This part of the road, too, will be
clayed this fall if weather conditions
permit.

Attention!
PREVENT
Forest Fires

Citizens of Wisconsin are caution
ed to be unusually careful with fires
this fall. With a continued dry
spell in October and November we
will experience bad fire risk on
cut-over and forest lands. Settlers
are warned particularly to watch
fires set by them in clearing so that
they will not run over surrounding
country. Lumbermen, campers,
hunters and all others are urged to
practice great care with fire in the
woods. These fires have already
caused too much damage in Wiscon-
sin. 1t pays to prevent forest fires.

HOOVER WANTS CONGRESS
TO GIVE RUSSIANS BIG SUM

Washington, Dec. 13.-Effective
food relief in Russia must be adj
ministered by congressional action,
Secretary Hoover told the house
foreign relations committee today In
asking an appropriation Of twenty
million dollars for the purchase of
food supplies for starving Russians.
The question could be solved only
by congressional charity, he added,
explaining that voluntary contribu-
tions to Russian reliefs since Aug
ust had not amounted to 100000.
In urging purchase of twice the
amount of grain recommended last
week by President Harding in his
message to congress and as called
for in the Fordney bill to appropri-
ate ten million dollars for the pur-
chase of ten million bushels of corn
and one million bushels of seed
grain, Mr.. Hoover said that the
situation required it," The sup
plies contemplated IN the roiuhe'
bill, he declared, were inadequate.
In addition to the grain, he said,
100000 cases of condensed milk
should be sent to Russia for three
and one-half million starving child
rem.
