CREOSOTE TREATMENT
 IS MOST ECONOMICAL
Treated Posts Are Sign of Sound
 Judgment. ~:
Large Saving Is Made In Replacement Where Short-Llvsd Timber ls Used-Decay Is Less Rapid
 In Northern statea

CPraparsd by the United States Department
 of ARrculture.)
 Although more expensive at the out set, creosoted posts are generally more economical to use than many kinds of untreated, short-lived woods, be- cause of their much greater lasting qualities, the forest service of the. United States Department of Agricul- ture has determined. The exceptions would be in remote localities with cheap wood and labor, and where it would be expensive to obtain creosote.
 The large saving in the replacement charges, which ordinarily mount up so high in maintaining a fence, and the use of cheap and inferior kinds Of woods in the first place, much more than offset the increased cost of thorough treatment with creosotes Treated posts are a good investment, and their use where lasting woods are scarce or expensive is sign of sound Judgment in farm management.
 The best treatment is that which results in the deepest penetration into the wood with the least absorption of creoSOte. The DuttS or the postS should be placed for one to two hours in creosote heated to a temperature of 180 degrees to 220 degrees F. It is important to treat the wood to height of a foot above the proposed ground line. In the southern states the entire post should then be submerged into oil, at 80 degrees to 100 degrees F., for one or two hours, or for such time as is necessary to get good penetra- tion. In the North, where decay is less rapid, the hot treatment is ap- piled only to the butts, which are allowed to remain for two or three hours in. the cooling process, the tops being treated by painting or dipping in creosote.
 Further information on creosoting fence posts will be found in Farmers Bulletin TAI, Preservative Treatment of Farm Timbers, available upon re- quest from the Department of Agri- culture.

for food ana perils. Colonel was the near horse. Now and then Samson threw a sheepskin over his back and put the boy on it and tramped along within arms reach of JOe's left leg. This was a great delight to the little lad.
 They proceeded at a better pace to the Black River country, toward which, in the village of Canton, they tarried again for visit with Captain Moody and Silas Wright, both of l had taught school in the town of Vergennes.
 They proceeded through DeKalb, Richville and Gouverneur and Ant werp and on to the Sand plains. They had gone far out of their way for a look at these old friends of theirs.
 Samson'S diary tells how, at the top of the long, steep hills he used to cut a small tree by the roadside and tie its butt to the rear axle and hang on to it's branches while his wife drove the team. This held their load, making an effective brake.
 Travelling through the forest, as they had been doing for weeks, while the day waned, they looked for a brookside on which they could pass the night with water handy. Samson

 Again the stranger leaned toward Samson and said in a half-whisper {: Say, mister, I wouldn't want you to mention 1t. but talkin' O fieas, I'm like dog with so many of 'em that he don't have time to eat. Some body has got to soap him or he'll die. You see, traded my farm over in Vermont for five hundred acres O this sheet lightnin unsighted an un- seen. We was all crazy to go west an here we are.

 "This land looks to me about as valuable as so much sheet lightnin' and I guess 1t can move just about as quick" said Samson.
 The stranger answered in a low tone: Say, I'll tell ye, it's a wild cow-don't stand still long 'nough to give ye time to git anything out of it. I've toiled and prayed, but it's hard to get much out of it."
 Praying won't do this land any good" Samson answered. What it needs is manure and plenty of it, You can't raise anything here but fleas. It isn't decent to expect God to help run a flea farm. He knows too much for that, and If you keep it up He'll lose all respect for ye. If you were to buy another farm and bring 1t here and put 1t down on

"You don't know how good 1t seems to see a woman and talk to her, and we talked and talked until midnight, after all the rest were asleep. She let me hold the baby in my lap until 1t was put to bed. How good 1t felt to have a little warm body in my arms again and feel 1t breathing! In all my life I never saw a prettier baby. It fel' good to be in a real house and sleep in a, soft, warm bed and to eat jelly and cookies and fresh meat and potatoes and bread and but ter. Samson played for them and kept them laughing with his stories until bedtime They wouldn't take cent and gave us dozen eggs in a basket and a piece of venison when we went away"
 On a warm, bright day in the sand country they came to a crude, half finished, frame house at the edge of wide clearing. The sand lay in drifts on one side of the road. It had evidently moved in the last wind. A sickly vegetation covered the field. ragged, barefoOted man and three scrawny, ill-clad children stood in the dooryard. It was noontime. A mon- grel dog, with a bit of the hound in 1 him, came bounding and barking to- ward the wagon and pitched upon Sambo and quickly got the worst of 1 it. SambO, after much experience in self-defense, had learned that the best way out of such trouble was to seize a leg and hang on. This he did. The mongrel began to yelp. Sam son lifted both dogs by the backs of their necks, broke the hold of Sambo and tossed aside the mongrel, who ran away whining.
 That reminded me of a bull that tackled a man over in Vermont" he said. "The man had a club in his hand. He lodged and grabbed the bulls tail and beat him all over the lot. As the bull rOared, the man hol- lered: I'd like to know who began this fuss anyway"
 The stranger laughed.
 "Is that your house?" Samson said.
 The man stepped nearer and an- swered in a low, confidential tone: Say, mister, this Is a combination poorhouse and idiot asylum. am the idiot. These are the poor"
 He pointed to the children.
 "You don't talk like an idiot" said Samson.
 The man looked around and leaned over the wheel as if about to impart a secret.
 Say, I'll tell ye," he said in a low tone. "A real, first-class idiot never does. You ought to see my actions"
 l This land is an indication that you're right" Samson laughed. "It proves it," the stranger whis- pered.
 Have you any water here?" Sam son asked.
 The stranger leaned nearer and said in his most confidential tone. Say, mister it's about the best in the United States. R,GAt over wonder in

tethered, fed and watered their horses and while Sarah and the children built fire and made tea and biscuits, he was getting bait and catching fish in the stream.
 "In a few minutes from the time I wet my hook a mess of trout would be dressed and sizzling, with a piece of salt pork, in the pan, or 1t was a bad day for fishing" he writes.
 After supper the wagon was partly unloaded, the feather bed laid upon the blanks under the wagon roof and spread with blankets. Then Samson sang songs and told stories or played upon the violin to amuse the family.
 Often If the others were weary and depressed he would dance merrily around the fire, playing a lively tune, with Sambo glad to lend a helping foot and much noise to the program. By and by the violin was put away and all knelt by the fire while Sarah prayed aloud for protection through the night. So 1t will be seen that they carried with them their own AALLAC LAGaLCIp duu hOI6I.
 Soon after darkness fell, Sarah and the children lay down for the night, while Samson stretched out with his blanket by the fire in good weather, the loaded musket and the dog Sambo lying beside him. Often the bowling of wolves in the distant forest kept them awake, and the dog TY1nftor~inor on6 hoT
 Samson woke the camp at daylight and a merry song was his reveille while he led the horses to their drink
 When they set out in the morning Samson was wont to say to the little lad, who generally sat beside him :: ''Well. my boy, what's the good word this morningY Whereupon Joe would say, parrot like:
 God help us all and make His face to shine upon us."
 "Well said! !" his father would an- swer, and so the days journey began. Often, near its end, they came to some lonely farmhouse. Always Sam son would stop and go to the door to ask about the roads, followed by little Joe and Betsey with secret hopes. One of these hopes was related to cookies and maple sugar and buttered bread and had been cherished since an hour of good fortune early in the trip and encouraged by sundry good 1 hearted women along the road An other was the hope of seeing a baby mainly, it should be said, the hope of BetSey JOe'S interest was merely an echo of hers. He regarded babies with an open mind, as 1t were, for the opinions of his sister still had some weight with him, she being a year and a half older than be, but babies invariably disappointed him, their capabilities being so restricted. Still, not knowing what might happen, he always took a look at every baby.
 The children were lifted out of the wagon to stretch their legs at sloughs and houses. They were sure to be close behind the legs of their father when he stood at a strangers door. l Then, the night being near, they were ] always invited to put their horses in l the barn and tarry until next morn ing. This was due in part to the wist- l ful faces of the little children-a fact unSuspected by their parents.

Envy, Jealousy, Hatred of Foreign Countries Sure to Bring Violent Upheavals in Future.
AMERICA MUST BE READY
Otherwise Pay in Men and Treasure Beyond Calculation, Perhaps Inviting Catastrophe.

WASHINGTON, April 25. The United States, with adequate and reasonable military preparation, and under strong leadership" could have prevented the occurrence of the world war, saving millions of lives, incal- culable treasure, and woes unspeak- able, General John J. Pershing de- clared emphatically but sadly today, testifying before the Senate Military Committee in behalf of. the War De- partment's plea for an increase in the military establishment over that pro- posed by the House of Representa- tives
 Failure to recognize the existence of the ages-old "envy, jealously and hatred" among nations, invariably has sent the United States unprepared into great crises, thereby causing vast unnecessary loss of life, and leaving the country staggering under finan- cial burdens, which also must be borne by unborn generations, the General said. He again warned Congress of the dangers now confronting America and the certainty that the country must be prepared for any emergency in order to safeguard the liberties, rights and prosperity of the American people.
 There was absolute silence for a few moments when the General ceased his slow, emphatic statement, which, it was evidence, made profound inn pression upon every nearer.

TOWN MARSHAL AM0NCKUKLUX
 SHOT IN RAID
Deputy Sheriff Leader, Too, Met by Hail of
 Rifle Bullets.

LOS ANGELES, April 25:-Walter M. Mosher, son of the town marshal who was killed in the Inglewood "Ku Klux" raid Saturday night, said an or ganization of picked men made up the raiding party, which "went after boot Ieggers."
 Deputy Sheriff Leonard Ruegg, probably mortally wounded, was one of the masked bands leaders. Wal ter Mosher was wounded.
 The raid was arranged at a regu- lar meeting of the "Ku Klux" Friday, at which Blake E. Shambeau, the Inglewood traffic policeman, was mi tiated, he testified today at the in- quest.
 The secret meeting at which the fatal raid was arranged was held in the same undertaking parlors whore the inquest is being held.
 Shambeau, who is a deputy marshal and deputy sheriff, testified that two undertakers and doctor were among those who attended the meeting, and he named a number of persons who were present.
 David Parker, newspaper photo- grapher, who gave the exclusive tip on the raid, said he had been a mem- Der of the "Klan" but had resigned yesterday.
 The people generally are aroused against the night riders, as result of the Inglewood outrage and tragedy. The police have been ordered to break up any mobs found and officers found taking part in masked affairs or raids will be severely dealt with.
 The federal government is investi- gating.
