Weatherproof--

Your horses and COWS need protection
from the bad weather just as much as
You do. Because they cannot tell you
when they are cold or uncomfortable,
you must shelter them exec ptionaly
well in order to prevent sickness and
loss.
Nature doesn't wait. Better get ready
and build that weatherproof barn now.
Then when BAD weather comes you'll
have it.
We have the right quality lumber for
such buildings, as we'll as poultry
houses, sheds, cribs, etc. You'll find
our prices fair and square and our
free service of great help to you.
Let us tell you more about our service

BIG ORCHARD IN VERMONT
Privateiy-owned One at Bennington
Occupies $500 Acres and Has
$4,000 Trees.

Vermont lays claim to the largest
privately-owned orchard in this coun-
try. 1t Is located at Bennington, be-
Ing the property of Edward H. Ever
EFT of Old Bennington. In this plant
Ing there are more than $4,000 apple
trees and $4,000 trees, partly of pear.
plum, ounce and cherry.
The area occupies more than 5000
acres of land at the base and on the
eastern slope of Mount Anthony, and
extends over large portion of Car
penter hill. IT is understood that the
ultimate goal is 100000 fruit trees.
Some of the rows of trees In this
orchard are almost mile long.
The orchard trees are set out in
large divisions and the divisions are
subdivided into blocks 'lettered after
the alphabet. Some Of the blocks are
so numerous that the manager has
had to double back on the alphabet
in the same division. Every row of
trees is given a letter and every cross
row Is given a number. In this way
each tree has its specific Identification.
Different blocks in the orchard are
insured against damage by hail. like
wise against damage by fire.-Detroit

PRISON SHAPED LIKE EAR
Tyrant of Syracuse Constructed Cave
So That He Could Hear CONVEX
sations of Suspects.

The Ear of Dionysius was the name
given to celebrated cavern near
Syracuse in Sicily, said to have been
constructed by Dionysius the Elder,
tyrant of Syracuse, and used by him
as prison for suspected persons. This
cave was $50 feet long and so feet
high. 1t was fashioned in the shape
of human ear, and was so construct
ed that the faintest sounds were con-
veyed from all parts to central cham
Der, corresponding to the tympanum
or drum Of the ear. There this tyrant
secreted himself, sometimes, it is said,
for days, and listened TO the CONVEX
sations Of the unfortunates imprisoned
within.
The workmen who built the dungeon
were put to death to prevent them
from divulging the use to which It was
put. A whisper at one end could be
distinctly heard at the other, by put
ting ones ear close to the rock, while
the tearing of paper sounded like q
series IF xplosions.-DetrOit News.

P0INCARE MAKES BID TO U. S.
French President Modifies Restrictions
of Scope of Investigation.

Paris-At a conference between
Premier Poincare and Louis Barthou,
president of the reparation commits
sion, revised text defining the powers
of the expert committees which are to
investigate Germany's resources and
financial assistance was agreed upon.
This text is worded in a way which
reparation circles hope will overcome
the objections raised by Secretary OF
State Hughes to the participation OF
the United States. M. Barthou plan
ned to submit this text to the repara-
ton commission, and no doubt was
expressed that it would be approved.
In case the approval is voted the
French government probably will for
ward an invitation to the United States
to take part in the projected investi-
cation.

Coolidge Sanctions Expedition Which

Washington-A dash by air for the
North Pole will be launched by the
Navy department during the coming
summer. Secretary DENLY announced
that President Coolidge had given
his specific approval to the project
as "of. great practical value"
The route, date and method of
procedure for the trip, however, are
still to be decided.
The project grew out of the desire
of Robert A. Bartlett, the explorer,

knowledge of this, however, does
not seem to prevent them.
Not careless, reckless men gener-
ally are these fatal drivers. Simply
men who are a little careless at times
and fail to realize that it takes only
one time to wreck a car.
Of course we don't go around all
the time with our whole minds concen-
trated on avoiding accidents. But we
can think enough to be reasonably
careful in a world where modern ma
chinery demands increasing thought
if we are to continue to enjoy its
benefits in making life easier and less
burdensome for US all.

HOW ASTORIA CAME BACK

The rehabilitation of one of the
ports Of the Pacific coast, where the
business district and water frontage
was completely destroyed by a dis
astrous fire is of general interest all
over the United States
This city was established by John
Jacob Astor and the American Fur
Co., of New York, and has developed
in modern times to a great lumber
ing. milling. warehousing, salmon
canning, and general industrial cen
ter
The fire losses extended into many
millions of dollars. but in one year
the city has practically been rebuilt
and we now behold prosperous As
toria with bank deposits Of sS,0e0,-
900.
All this was accomplished without
state or national aid. the principal re-
lance having been prompt payment
of insurance losses
There was a time when such fire
would have wrecked and crippled in
surance companies, but, like hank
ing, insurance financing has grown
so strong that its ability to meet con-
nagrations like Astoria and Berke-
ley are no longer questioned.

CONSERVATION OF COAL

Floyd W. Parsons, economist and
journalist, states his views on the
conservation of our coal resources
in an interesting fashion. He says:
when a householder burns one
ton of good bituminous coal in a
heating furnace or a kitchen range
he has sacrificed something like
1900 cubic feet OF gas, 25 pounds
of ammonium sulphate, EOS gal
Ions of pure benzol, 0.56 gallons of
pure toluol, and 9 gallons of coal
tar.
Where on earth can one find any
other material as useful? A four
foot seam of coal contains enough
ammonium sulphate to fertilize the
land above it for 1000 years. We
burn up each year in our wasteful
beehive ovens enough nitrogen to
fertilize 100000 acres. Our
country's production OF wheat could
be increased by more than 10000
900 bushels a year If the ammonia
that is now wasted by beehive ovens
were to be saved and used.
CONSERVATION does not mean that
We must eurtail the use OF COM
modify. True economy does not come
from using sparingly but from using
well. The greatest waste in the
world today is in the burning of coal.
The one and only remedy is the uni
versal cooking or Justification OF
practically all the coal that is mined.
Our increasing knowledge of the
marvellous values in coal makes this
outcome inevitable. 1t is for this
reason that the business of manufac-
turing gas is destined to become
next to the agricultural and trans
portation, the greatest industry il
America.

THE SITUATION IN OIL

1t is a curious thing that every
body except motor car owners de-
voutly wish that the outflow OF
petroleum from the earth shall grow
less. The biologists are said to be-
lieye that this wish will be granted
and is in fact being granted now.
The outflow is SAID to be rapidly
diminishing and all agree that the
peak" is passed.
The flowing wells in the new dis
tricts are putting the pumping wells
out of business. Storage is hard to
provide, the waste of oil and gas is
serious, and the gas pressure is IN
duly reduced. The falling off of
Mexican production has given oil
men a market in the East, incidental
ly so Increasing Panama canal tolls
that the receipts are showing large
surplus over interest and rapid
amortization of principal
So far as Our Country is concerned
it is our interest to keep the oil in
the ground until it can be used, for
it is exhaustible and our needs viii
grow with our population

WHY NOT MAKE 1T CHRONIC?

Fire Prevention Week-October
7-1S-was more widely observed this
year than ever before. Chambers of
commerce, schools, theaters, Rotary
clubs, women's clubs. Red Gross
chapters. Boy and Girl Scouts and
many other interests in all parts of
the country combined to further this
great educational move to reduce the
waste of life and property by fire,
This is excellent cooperation in
the interest of conservation of hui
man and national wealth but the
great lesson should be that fire pre-
yention is a year-round proposition
and not a matter for attention SIM
ply during this week. If the eultiVa-
ton of carefulness with fire hazards
became habit among the residents
of the United States then the Ma

took more pains to see uar the right
kind of men were elected to public
office, there would be far less cause
for complaint about the unhappy
state of politics and politicians. This
thought is not a new one, but 1t is
often overlooked, and it is encourag-
ing to see It emphasized and 80 well
expressed as it was recently by Dr.
Payson Smith, Commissioner OF Ed
ucation for Massachusetts, In out
lining the work of the schools for
the coming year. Dr. Smith said:

al ideas that are involved.
1t is the duty of educational in
situations of our judicial impartiality
on its merits as policy for the good
of the whole and to act according
ly, rather than on the basis OF selfish
sectional Considerations.
DIR. Smiths expression of the the
peoples responsibility in the matter
is both forcible and timely The
educational system which he urges
to action in order TO improve condi-
tons can do much in the direction
indicated But it cannot do IL all
