WOOD HAS MANY ADVANTAGES
Reconstructed Material That Can Be

Process of Carving.

From shavings and sawdust, com

that Is said to have many advantages
The process was originated by Prof
George Kemmerer, of the chemistry
department Of the University Of Wis
consin, and the new material has beer
used commercially since last winter
and has been found to be better than
wood for certain purposes.
The sawdust, after being mixed with
a new binder material, is put into q
mold, and subjected to a pressure of
from 500 to 1000 pounds per square
inch. The resulting product is much
tougher and harder than ordinary
wood, does not split, and is practically
tmpervious to water. This recon
structed wood takes finishes, such as
varnish and enamel, very well. Its chief
use is in the manufacture of articles
Of irregular shape, such as toilet sets,
radio dials, and variometer rotors. In
stead of having to undergo the tedious
and costly process of carving, as in
the case Of ordinary wood, the process

Treasure for British Museum.

The latest addition to the natura
history department of the British mu.
u is the skull and tusks of a ST.
berian mammoth, the first ever brought
into western Europe. This skull was
dug out of the ice on one of the ST
berian islands of the Arctic. Pre-
served as it was in cold storage
through countless ages, it is remark
ably fresh, even to the fragments of
skin still attached to the great jaws.
BY examining the teeth, which are in
excellent condition and about six inches
in diameter, experts have established
that they belonged to a full grown fe-
male mammoth. The bones of the
head are snow white, in contrast to
the usual fossil bones, which are
stained brown or black. The tusks
are IL feet long and the ivory is in per-
feet condition. Their value as ivory
is placed at $1,000. Large quantities
of fossilized ivory, dug up in various
parts of Siberia, are being shipped to
England for sale. A shipload of these
remains arrived recently and was sold
for prices higher than paid for Indian
ivory tusks.

RESPONDED AT WRONG TIME
Embarrassed Bridegroom Probably
Heard Something Later From
the Girl of His Heart.

The groom was embarrassed; the
bride was self-possessed.

excitedly. 81 know I'll do it wrong"
at won't take long, dearie," she an
swered, consolingly. you haven't

Suddenly there came to the ears of
the groom the voice of the minister,
saying KINDLY change places with the
bride"
The groom tried to do so, but stepped
or the toe Of her shoe, and raising his
arm, caught his cuff button in her veil.
DO be careful" she lmplored.
The minister began the ceremony.
The groom grew more and more en-
barrassed and fumbled with the rose
of the brides bouquet. Then he put
his hand into his pocket and pulling
out his handkerchief excitedly mopped
his brow.
The church was silent save for the
voice of the minister.
"If any person knows any just rea-
son." he said, "why these two should
not be Joined together, let him now
speak or forever

reach out your hands and help your
self.
To be worthy you should be patient
Industrious, ~persevering, charitable
toward the weak, respectful to the
strong.
You must overcome foolish pride
and envy; be not afraid to soil your
hands, but a veritable coward when
it conn to the point where you are
called upon to smudge your soul.
Go forth with a heart full of faith
and a joyous countenance.
Do not grumble If you happen to be
in the lower ranks.
Think of the great men of today
who came up from humble places and
won distinction, whose names are
written across the lands and seas in
flaming letters.
Hold faith high above your head.
Let its unfailing torch illuminate your
path all through life, and march on
assured that the goal you have set
your heart upon is just ahead.
Do not falter If your road should
be difficult and your burden weari-
some.
Difficulties are common obstacles
No one can get anything worth while
without overcoming them.
Af1uence and power have their be-
ginning in small things, both capable
of being won by well directed thought
and effort.
They belong to the capable who are
qualified to use them in the right way,
not to the doubling, inefficient and
wavering, but to the courageous, the
steadfast. who never admit defeat nor
turn their faces in the darkest hour
from the sun of faith, shining always
on every cross and care.
If you would help yourself to the

faults. If inclined to procrastinate,
take q lesson from the tides, the re-
volving earth, never delaying or hurry

they may be needed.

Camp Fire Girls Entertain

On Tuesday evening the Camp
Fire girls in charge of Miss McAleer
entertained the Senior class and Mr..
and Mrs. Livingston at a 700 o'clock
dinner.
The banquet table was placed in
the English room. This room was
gayly decorated with lavender and
white streamers.. Plates were set for
81 people. White candles trimmed
with lavendar ribbon lighted the long
table.
The dinner consisted of three de-
licious courses. Afterwards Miss
McAleer. acting as toastmistress, sue
ceeded in securing the best toasts
by high school students that it has
ever been my pleasure to listen to.
| believe that Harold Mcneil should
be placed in the "Hall of Fame" for
the cleverness of his toast. In the
wee hours of the morning the Sen
Tors left for home. Altogether it
was a most delightful affair.

EDUCATION AT SMALL COST
Writer Urges Publication of Little
Books That Could Be Circulated
by the Thousand.

In the old days little books could
be had in Frence for the price OF
postage stamps-that is, for ten cen
times, or two cents, each. Even now
the prices are only four or five times
as great, and the Frenchman who is
going out of Paris for an hours Jour
ney can supply himself with "Eugenie
Grandet" in two numbers, or "Sappho"
In three, or "Pickwick" or "Faustr or
the odyssey in four, at the cost Of
80 to so centimes n number. The
paper-bound books which have lust
been issued in this country are much
more expensive. TO be sure, but the
paper and print are also of much bet
ter quality, and the cost of produc-
ton could certainly be cut. without
any loss in usefulness. In the matter
of price. the American booklets now
sold at 20 cents rank with the popular
magazines, rather than with books.
and 1t Is In competition with the popu-
lar magazines that a series like Ar
theme Fayards should be sold. IF a
rack filled with such little books could
be installed on every news stand in
the subways of New York, and then
eventually on several thousand news
stands up and down the country, the
enterprise might eventually more than
pay its way and in any case it would
worth more to the people of these
than the fattest of endowed
1nlversities .-From the Freeman.

WISE ADVICE

TT WAS Publius Syrus who said
- Look for a tough wedge for q
rough log"-wise and sound advice.
Men prosper better who suit theil
tools to the job. 1t is foolish to drive
nails with a sledge hammer, or to try
to drive piles with a mallet.
The first uses up twenty times as
Ond accomplishes nothing.
When you see in a legislature or a
political meeting an orator tearing
the air into tatters over a very small
and unimportant matter, you feel that
he is using a sledge hammer to drive
a nail.
When you see a man in an office
employing three times the energy
necessary to do a very small and I'M
important job, you know that he is do
ing the same thing.
Save your important weapons for
important battles. Don't hunt rabbit
with machine guns.
If you have a big task to do, bend
to 1t all your energies. Use the big
gest weapons you have.
But on the little jobs save your en-
ergy.
We have seen legislators who made
motions to adjourn as if they were en-
gagged in a debate over the fate of the
nation. We have known architects
who planned as deliberately for the
construction of a one-car garage as
better architects would plan for a sky
scraper.
Neither got much but ridicule for
his efforts.
Save your energies for the big jobs
that will come. You will need them
then-all your thought, all your
effort, all your skill.
For the little jobs use just enough
# these. to do them well-don't skimp
don't over-do on them.
You have a mental tool chest which
vou will soon learn how to employ
Make careful selections be-
ore you do your work, and 1t will be
lone better and with less expense of
ims and energy.

Landrau Wall won the three-legged
race. The Wide Awake team of four,
Frank Toavs, Theodore Toavs, Rob

strated team work when they won
the tug of war over four boys pick
ed from the other schools.
Last but not least was the spelling
match. The first list of 125 words
caused only very few to retire. The
county list of 800 words didn't put
them down as fast as it did here in
town. The first list showed that these
pupils are real spoilers. Finally four
pupils from the Liberty school re-
manned. Of these Eva Heinrich won
the $500 prize for being the lone
speller.
The ball game between Liberty and
Pioneer was interesting. Liberty
took the lead with three scores and
Pioneer came back with two. In the
second inning Liberty made but one
while Pioneer added four. The
score at the end of the game was six
to four in favor of Pioneer. We
hope that these two teams can play
a nine inning game some time as
they are evenly matched. l wish to
thank the following people for the
use of their cars: Messrs. Mason,
Burnison, o. C. Johnson, Rathert,
Zemo, Barwise, Erickson, Burgess,
