LECTURE ON BAD LANDS.

Dr. O'harra of the south Dakota State
School of Mines delivered a well at
tended lecture at the Opera House last
Friday evening on the Bad Lands. The
lecturer is widely known for his knowl-
edge of this subject and the work be has
done in collecting fossils from this dis
trict. Numerous lantern slides, project
ed on the screen, showed the strange
and wonderful scenery Of the Bad Lands
and the equally strange forms of many
Of the animals that once inhabited it.
These Bad Lands are known to scientists
all over the world as one of the greatest
fossil beds, and specimens from it are to
be found in many museums.
The lecturer in an interesting talk
described the conditions of the country
when these extinct animals roamed over
it, and how, through the washing away
of the materials of which the beds are
formed, by the action of rain and nat.
ural forces, the scenery of this locality
has been produced, differing so strik.
ingly from that of the surrounding
country.

District Forester Alien 3. Peck.
Plans of the burner, which can be-

sent out to Forest Supervisors aud saw
| mill operators throughout the Rocky
Mountain District.
Sawdust piles are very undesirable OF
| account of the fire hazard, which they
form, the injury to fish in the nearby
streams aud their extreme unsightliuess
along main roads. A cigarette stub will
start sawdust pile to burning aud it
will smolder along almost hidden for
months and then, famed by little
wind, break into very hot fire, which
will ignite the adjoining timber. The
absence of trout in streams which flow
near sawdust piles has been noticed and
attributed to the clogging of their gills
| by the sawdust in the water.
The burner consists of a rock and con
crete pit with large CRATE in the bot.
tom. The sawdust is moved from the
saw to the burner by blower, which
also furnishes draft below the CRATE.
District Forester Peck says: at is

Peace With Central Powers of Europe

Meets His Approval

Washington, d. c.. April l2.-That
final rejection of the Versailles League
of Nations by the American government
was proclaimed to the world today by
President Harding in a solemn pro-
nouncement of the foreign policies OF
his administration. Speaking before the
new congress, the President declared
the acceptance of the league would be
date of the November elections. In.
stead he asked for congressional de-
claration Of peace and for the radifica.
ton OF those portions Of the Versailles
Treaty which protect American rights
and interests. In war settlement in the
existing League of Nations, and world
governing with its super powers, this
republic will have no part, he said. 1t
Is only fair to say to the world in gener-
al and 10 our associates in war in parti.

have no sanction by us. Tremendous

The increased Importance of this da!
and its general observance is urged up
on our citizens. "Plant a tree and pro
tect the birds" might well be the slogan
of all our people to the end that in tn,
years to come our prairies and hills, oul
cities and farms, will not only have an
added material value, but will as vel
possess enhanced attraction and offer q
constant satisfaction to both the owner
and observer.
The movement must Of course receive
its greatest impetus from the children in
our schools and | trust that their in.
structors on the appointed day will inn
press upon them tne crying need for the
preservation of our trees, the world de-
mands for reforestation and the im.
measurable value of tree cultivation to
present and future generations.
The duty of caring for living things is
4 responsibility which assists in the
proper development of men aud women
and in planting aud cultivating trees a
certain responsibility is imposed, but |
am confident that no person ever look
ed upon the dignity and symmetry of a
tree of his own planting, who regretted
The labor its maturity involves And
surely to surround our homes, school
houses, churches and public places With
beautiful flowers, ornamental shrubs
and stately trees is commendable
practice.

Mash the grapes well so as to re-

strain through colander and then
through flannel jelly-bag, keeping
it as hot as possible. The hotter you
keep it the sitter the jelly will be.
Measure the juice, allowing pound
of sugar to every pint of juice and boil
rapidly for at least half an hour When
it jells on cold plate, place a clean
cloth dipped in hot water over-the edge

LIFE WORK
REVIEWED OF
A splendid
YOUNG WOMAN

From Hancock News
Ida Emily Hayward, fourth child
of Frank E. and Emma n. Hayward,
was born at the Hayward homestead
in the town of Hancock, Wis, Jan. 10,
1888 where her childhood days were
spent in a devout Christian home a.
mong wholesome and happy surround
ings. Her first great sorrow was the
loss of her mother on May n, 1917,
! and next the death of her father on
Feb. 10, 1921.
Not long after completing the pre-
scribed course of study in the Hancock
village schools, our subject obtained
teachers certificate and began teach
ing school, following that work over
studies during vacation periods and
| by correspondence until she finished
a course in the Stevens Point normal
school and last year was granted life
certificate.
When young girl, Ida joined the
Hancock Congregational church and
has always lived an active, earnest,
steadfast Christian life, helping in
the worthwhile things wherever she
CHANGED to be.
On the 9th of last June she entered
hospital in Green Bay to undergo
a minor operation, from which she at
first seemed to be recovering. Later
a complication of ailments developed
and she grew gradually worse, death
finally resulting on Aug. 10, 1921,
from systemic poisoning.
Near relatives left to mourn are
two brothers and one sister; Clarence
c. Hayward; Earl L. Hayward and
Nellie Hubbard; and two aunts: Mrs.
Agnes Sorrenson and Miss Anna Hay
ward, both of Neenah, all of whom
visited the deceased during her illness
in the hospital and did all in their
power to relieve and brighten the last
days of their dearly loved one.-
The remains were brought to the
old home where funeral services were
held the following Monday afternoon,
Rev. A. W. Cook officiating. Relatives
present from a distance were Mr.. and
Mrs. c. c. Hayward and two sons,
| Frank and Allen, of Milwaukee; Mr..
| and Mrs. E. L. Hayward and two
| daughters, Ruth and Viola, of Chicago !;
Mr.. and Mrs. |. A. Hubbard, of Ash
land; two aunts; Mrs. Agnes Sorren-
son and Miss Anna Hayward, of Nee
nah. A goodly number of friends from
surrounding towns were also in at
tendance, including more than a score
from Wisconsin Rapids where Miss
Hayward taught in the city schools
about eight years and was very highly
respected by the people there. Inter
ment was made in Hancock cemetery
1t is refreshing in these days Of so
much cheap glitter and careless living
to pause and review the pure and help
full life of this splendid young woman.
Surely it should prove an inspiration
for all toward nobler and better
things.

To obtain the foundation for the
sixth pier of the new bridge, near the
east shore, the workmen ran across
the foundation timbers of the first
piers of the first bridge which were
put in about fifty years ago. The tim
bers were 12x12 white pine and in ex-
cellent preservation. These timbers
when released from their foundation
were so heavy, being water soaked,
they would not float. After being
raised and exposed to the air they
would float.
