UNCLE WIGGILY AND HIS
4KEEA

"Oh, Uncle Wiggily! Come and
see what Sammie Littletail has on
his feet!" called Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy one morning when the bunny
rabbit gentleman had finished eat
ing his breakfast IN the hollow
stump bungalow.
81 should think he ID have on his
rubber boots, for the snow is still
very deep" said Uncle Wiggily.
mot only has he on his rubber
boots but he has something else like
long sticks" went on the muskrat
lady housekeeper, "and he's sliding
along over the snow.'
Uncle Wiggily stood at the side
Of Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy at the window
and looked out toward where Sam.
ME Littletail, the rabbit boy, was
walking along over the snow.
"Why, Sammie has made himself
pair OF skees,' said Uncle Wig
g;ly.
"Skees! Is that what you call
them.' asked Nurse Jane. "Thcy
look to me like barrel staves.o
"Well, they are barrel slaves, if
you want to call them that ad.
mitted Uncle Wiggily. "That IS
the shape of real skees, too. They
are like snow shoes, only longer and
more narrow. You fasten them on
your foot by leather strap and
shuttle along. You can slide over
the snow like sled.
Sammie, l suppose, didn't have
any money to buy real skees, so he
made himself some out of two bar
rel slaves. A smart rabbit is SAM
mie-see him go!o
eyes, see him go!" laughed
Nurse Jane, for just then Sammie 8
legs and feet and skees became all
tangled together and down he fell.
"Oh, that isn't anything" said
Uncle Wiggily. "That ofen hap.
pens when one wears skees. He's upl
again!" And, surely enough, upl
jumped Sammie and away he shuf. |

PULPWOOD IN ALASKA

1t is said that the Department of Agriculture has
practically completed plan for the establishment of
important pulpwood industry in Alaska. The Ton
gass national forest presents of supply of tim
Der which furnish perpetually an annual yield of
print paper equal to onehrd of the total national
sumption of the United States. The contracts cover
ing this production with reliable concerns and are
expected to be signed by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture soon
In studying the best ways of utilizing that timber
the forest has beendvided into Ia zones each embrac
ing sufficient timber to furnish large paper mill
with permanent supply of material. Further
more, each has been deneated so as to include
the necessary water power for its pulpwood pro-
ject.
This is practical form of development If it is
properly handled that the timber supply steadily
maintained rather than depleted and so that the
whole program is allowed to benefit the public rather
than to profit chosen few private groups, it will
mark big forward step in Alaskan development

try has gold than is good for it, he wonders again

The work of cooperative market
ing organizations in the state is to
receive a real impetus next week
with the arrival cf aaron Sapiro of

meetings starting June 4.
Next Tuesday, Mr.. Sapiro will ad-
dres members of the Farm Bureau
poultry association ct 10 in the Audi
torium hotel in Denver and at noon
he will be guest at luncheon at
the hotel given by the directors of
the organization in cooperation with
directors of the Colorado Dairy
mems cooperative association.
Farmers in the Denver dairy dis
tricts are meeting with unqualified
success in their new marketing or
ganization and over eighty per cent
of the farmers thus visited are
strongly in favor of the project and
much enthusiasm is manifested in
the twenty-five districts where To-
Gals are formed.
The very fact that the dealers in
Denver have again cut the price of
milk to the farmers and at the same
time maintained the twelve cent per
quart rate to the consumers should
make very strong argument in fav-
or Of the farmers getting together
to protect their market.

MAKING STUDY OF CHIMNEYS
Johns Hopkins University Professor
Has Planned Careful Experiments
Concerning Their Behavior.

WHY are factory chlmneys built the
way they are? The answer to this
question, according to Prof. A ~.
Christie, of the department of mechan-
zeal engineering at Johns Hopkins uni
y.rsIty Is that the first smoke-stacks
happened to be built that way ana
everybody else has followed the exam
pie. Little is really known, says Pro-
fessor Christie. of the internal action
of the gases in Il chimney, and he Is
accordingly undertaking some inVestl-
cations into the matter. lie has CON
struCted on the grounds of the univer-
slty chimney with two platforms,
one % feet from the ground and the
other - feet higher, both Of them
reached by an iron ladder. AT each
platform the masons have left open
lngs, which will ordinarily be plugged
up, but will be cleared whenever the
observers are at work. Through each
aperture it will be possible for the eX-
perimenter to project instruments for
the study of the gas flow Careful rec
ords will be kept rs material for n
more precise knowledge of the factors
on which an effective draught de-
pends.
An explanation will thus be found,
1t Is hoped. OF the difference in the
behavior Of ch!mneys-why, that Is to
say, one smoke-stack will draw like
n vacuum cleaner, while another VIII

WlLTED BEFORE THE THREAT

Finally the prefect called him to the

was no opportunity to get rid of the

The prefect unostentatiously took

Several days later, when the Indian

Instantly, the pupil became very

Larger Acreage Of
Forage Crops Put in
on Colorado Farms

Partial reports of county assessors to
the State Immigration department
indicate that the acreage devoted to
sorghums and other forage crops in
Colorado this year will be the largest
in the history of the state. Substan-
tial increases over last years acre
age are also indicated for millet,
beans, broom corn and probably
corn.
Increases in the acreage devoted
to all these crops are due chiefly to
losses suffered by the winter wheat
crop which has been heavily damag-
ed by long continued drought during
last fall and winter. The acreage
planted to winter wheat last fall was
below normal, due to unseasonably
dry weather in the winter wheat belt
at planting time. As a result of con
tinued dry weather much of the
wheat planted did not come up and
much Of that that came un did not
advance satisfactorily during the
winter months. Much of the ground
planted to winter wheat therefore
wns plowed up again this spring and
planted to other crops, chiefly to the
crops named above.
The drought was most marked in
eastern Colorado counties and was
especially severe in the southeastern
part Of the state.

BUYERS STRIKE
HITS BUILDING
INDUSTRY.
According to index, construc-
ton Has Fallen Off Through
out Country.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

The much talked.of buyers strike
in the construction industry ishere,
according to Index, a statistical
service for the construction indus
try, published by the Associated
General Contractors of America.
Presenting a chart showing the
volume Of building and constrlc-
ton cost, by months, covering the
years 1918-1923, Index says: 1T win
be noted that while the A. G. c.
index OF construction cost rose from
1874 in March to 200 in May. the
index for the volume of construc.
ton declined to 1872 in May as
compared with 333 in March, 1929.
The volume of construction for
May, 1923, was even lower than
that for the corresponding month
of 1922"
In explaining it's desire to remove
the impression that such statistics
are the result of big city condi-
tions, the publication further says:
GAS our index of the volume OF
construction is based upon the rela-
tive valuation of building permits
issued in 20 leading cities, we
thought at first that this record
might not be fair indication OF con-
ditions, in the country as a whole,
but careful analysis Of contracts
awarded in twenty-seyen north
eastern States shows that our re-
suits are well founded"
