New York.@"Pulp-w wood costs and
values have now reached point where
foresters can prove to paper manufac-
turers that they must seriously con-
slider plans for the growing of their
future supply of timber" said r. s.
Kellogg, secretary of the News Print
Service Bureau of New York, in re-
cent address at the Cosmos Club be-
fore the Washington section, Society
of American Foresters.
"A survey of the situation shows the
urgent need of immediate and large
scale efforts to provide a permanent
supply of raw material for the basic
Industry of paper making. To say that
the United States last year produced
$500. 600 tons of wood pulp means lit
tie to the ordinary reader, but the
problem takes on more concrete as
pect when it is realized that 100000
cords of wood, chiefly spruce and hem
lock, were used to make this quantity
of pulp. The magnitude of the indus
try is also more fully appreciated
when it is known that the United
States in 1920 produced 100000 tons
Of paper, or lat pounds per capita.

To properly manage his great agri-
cultural project Vincent maintains n
large force of men and women. There
are also 600 mules and horses, and
during the harvesting season he hires
enough outside to make n total of
from 450 to 500 spans. Last season
$50 men and women and 30 boys

farm. harvesting and marketing the
grain.
This years harvest, should the crop
he normal one, will be handled by
five combined harvester threshers,
ten headers and four separators. A
new departure will be the use for the
| first time of. steam propelled com
| bine with 30-foot cut and com
bine propelled with gasoline tractor
which has an 1S-foot cut. These two
machines have a combined capacity
of cutting and threshing rs to 30
acres of ripened wheat per day.
The great difficulty with heavy
tractors in the wheat section is with
the rolling nature of the land. Wheat
is planted on steep hills where horses
and mules can be driven but where
the heavy machinery slides and tips.
To care for his wheat last year Vim
cent used 100000 new tute bags for
which he paid II cents each. This
year he has ordered new supply OF
cotton ones from Georgia.

Nine million pounds of pipric acid and INT, stored at Fort Wingate, New Mexico, is to be manufactured into blasting cartridges for the gov ernment and distributed through the bureau of good roads and depart ment of agriculture to the various states. This information has been received by George Brown, city freight and passenger agent for the Santa Fe lines, it became known yesterday.
 The cartridges will be distributed through state highway and agricul- ture departments for use in road blasting and clearing agriculture lands, according to plans of the gov ernment. This plan, it is claimed, provides a favorable means of dis posal of the great surplus of eX- plosiVes accumulated by the govern ment during the world war
 Manufacture of the cartridges is to be started immediately, information received by MT. Brown said. Five machines for the purpose are to be moved either from Sparta. Wis, or Chicago to Fort Wingate for the pur- pose. The contract for manufactur- ing the cartridges has already been let to the M. J. Connolly Cartridge company of Washington, D. c.
 The explosives are government property, as will be the cartridges after manufacture. The Washington firm is to receive so much a cart ridge for manufacturing the finished product.

HE HAD LEARNED SOMETHING
Christmas Incident That Shows the
Way of Modern Maid With
Her Victim.

He was very nervous young man,
but he was rather nice, and Elsie
thought he was worth encouraging.
She allowed him to take her to tea,
she deliberately chucked the slipper
in his eye at "Hunt the Slipper" and
she gave him a dance or. two. Once
or twice she sat down under the mis-
tletoe, but he didn't seem to notice
that.
At last when they were alone in
a corner of a room, she stood long
and. insistently under the mistletoe
hanging from a curtain pole of the
bay window.
Then, very nervously, he pecked her
face. She, Of course, protested mild
ly; but as they seated themselves once
more, most respectfully on couple Of
chairs, she kept the conversation on
mistletoe.
At length he ventured: "It is-er--
q nice Christmas custom, hanging up
mistletoe, but I wonder why they al
ways hang it over doors, windows or
chandeliers?"
Because it's not necessary to have
any out on the stairs or in any other
dark places" she murmured softly.

Ecuador.

Ecuador liberated itself from Spanish
rule. TO commemorate the anniver-
sary, Ecuador has issued series with
nineteen denominations-one centavo
to one sucre-each bearing portrait
of some man who won renown in
Ecuador's history. The dates 1920 and
1920 are part of the design. Greatly
to the surprise of collectors, no 20
centavo denomination appeared as
part of the set, for Ecuador's sets for
forty years have included one of that
value. Inquiry brought the disclosure
that 6o,0OO copies Of 20-centavo were
printed, but the value description,
veinte, meaning twenty" was through
an error spelled viente instead. The
postal authorities destroyed the entire
lot, and a 20-centavo will appear as

ALFALFA AS A REFRIGERATOR
Planted Around Farm Houses 1t Has
Been Found to Reduce the Tenn
perasure Materially.

Refrigerators indoors are common
enough, but it took the farmers in the
Southwest to devise one for outdoor
use.
A farmer who happened to plant
large field of alfalfa south of the
farmhouse noticed during the hot sum-
mers that followed that his family
did not suffer from the heat as did the
neighbors. The thermometer showed
temperature five to ten degrees in his
favor.
Someone suggested that 1t might be
due to the alfalfa, tried the tempera-
ture just north of other alfalfa fields
and found the same marked difference.
Now the farmers of that region are
planting alfalfa around their dwell
ings and enjoy summer temperatures
that make trip to the seashore need
less, according to the Golden Age.
The cause of the GOODNESS of winds
passing over alfalfa fields is that the
plant .absorbs much moisture, the
evaporation of which reduces the tenn
perature of the air and lessons the
summer heat in the adjoining land
over which it blows,
The suggestion now is for farmers
that wish to profit from the presence
and the board money Of summer va
cationists to combine the profit and
utility of alfalfa with higher rates
from hot-weather boarders attracted
by the coJlness Of the ten-acre refrig-
orator around the house.
Little by little men are beginning
to learn how to utilize the means pro-
vided by a good Creator for their COM
fort and well-being.

czechosloyak Forests.

A novel feature of Czchoslovak for

the annual growth must equal or ex-
ceed the annul cut. This is wise and
farsighted policy. 1t is estimated that
100000 cubic meters Of fire wood
and 100000 cubic meters of CONNER
cial timber are cut yearly. The guam
tity used for fuel during and since the
war will be greatly reduced, in the
very near future, through stimulated
production of bituminous coal, Ignite
and oil. At the prevailing prices for
lumber competent authorities estimate
the value of the annual timber cut to
be about S120000,000.

Interesting Facts About The
Water We Drink.

Il 7 !.
Water We Drink.
The water we drink is often the
cause of sickness, in spite of the fact
that it comes from deep well, or a
well freshly cleaned, or that it is per-
fectly tasteless.
The odor, purity, color and taste
of water may be ascertained by filling
large bottle made of clear, colorless
glass, with water. Look through the
water at some black object; the water
should be perfectly colorless if in
small quantity. A large mass OF wa
ter would be blue.
Tests for Water.
Pour out some of the water, leav-
ing the bottle about half full. Cork
the bottle and set it in warm. place
for few hours. Then shake up the
water, remove the cork, and smeh
carefully the air contained in the bot
tie. If there is any smell, especially
if the odor is repulsive, the water
should not be used for domestic pur-
poses. Pure water is practically odor-
less and tasteless, but by heating the
water an odor is evolved that would
not otherwise appear.
Water freshly drawn from the well
is usually tasteless, even if it contains
large amount of organic impurities.
All water used for domestic purposes
should be tasteless, and remain 50
even after it has been warmed, since
warming often develops a taste IN
water which is tasteless when coldtSs
Character of Impurities.
Natural water contains more or less
impurity, and the character Of the I'M i'm
purity depends, first, upon substances
present in the air through which the
water fell to the earth. Second, upon
he soil through or over which the wa
ter has flowed. Third, upon the op-
portunities the water has had of los
ing material previously gathered.
In penetrating the sarth's sur
face water usually finds soluble sub
stances, both solid and gaseous.
This accounts for the soluble solids
found in water. as common salt,
magnesium, chloride and gypsum;
and gasses, carbon dioxide and ny
drogen sulphide. Carbon dioxide is
colorless and has the slightest acid
taste known to all who drink "soda
water" The sparkling of "soda
water" and also of spring water is
due to the escaping of the carbon
d.oxide which is usually in solution.
Hydrogen sulphide is colorless gas
and the so-called Sulphur" waters
owe their properties to the hydrogen
sulphide dissolved in them. 1t has
very stronng and repulsive odor,
which evaporates when exposed TO
air. While not suitable for domes--
tic purposes sulphur" water is high
ly recommended for number of
diseases.
Methods of Purifying
Water may be purified by filtra-
tion or distillation. Filtration re-
moves not only insoluble substances,
but also oxidizes many organic I'M
purities by bringing them in contact
with the air.
Distilled water is fiat to the taste,
as distilled water has lost the gasses
present in natural water. Distilled
water may be made more palatable
by shaking thoroughly with air.
The next time the family or
member fthe family has "puny"
spell from no apparent cause, test
the drinking water for putrescible
organic water, and correct the evil.
