LARGE TIMBER CONTRACT
FOR TIES AWARDED

A contract for 5000, 900 railroad
ties and $1,000, 900 board feet of
saw timber has just been completed
between the Wyoming Tie & Timber
company and the United States For
est Service, according to Allen s.
Peck, district forester, Denver, Col
orado. This Is the largest railroad
tie operation at present in the Rocky
mountain region and probably the
biggest hewed tie camp in the world.
Eleven years of continuous opera
ton and the marketing of well over
100000 railroad ties assure the
permanence and feasibility of this
operation, which is located at Du-
noir. Wyoming. about los miles
northwest Lander.
An idea Of the size of this enter
prise can be gained also from a de-
scription of the camp which takes
care of about 800 to $50 men. The
sawmill which is operated in con-
nection with this camp converts the
saw timber into ties also. Some of
the important items consumed in
this camp each winter are as fol-
lows: Hay, $50 tons; oats. 225 tons;
potatoes, rs tons; sugar. rs tons;
milk; Is tons; canned fruits and
vegetables, 80 tons.
The most important consideration
in connection with the enterprise
from a forestry standpoint is the
fact that the present rate of cutting
removes about 60 to 70 per cent of
the volume of trees about 10 inches
in diameter. On this basis there is
plenty of timber in this workins
circle to maintain the cutting on a
perpetual basis indefinitely. The
period of return on a given acreage
is 80 to so years.
The brush is piled and burned OIL
areas of unusual fire hazard, else
where it is Topped and scattered
close to the ground SO that moisture
and natural decay will dispose of it
in a short time.

Frank O'Donnell was visiting his

The weather is fine again and the
bluebirds are here and now is the
time to boost for good roads-not
only boost, but work. We hope to
see the dirt flying on the Clarks

Things seem brighter now for

Efficient Sewing Methods
BY LYDIA LIE BARON. WALKER.

other half should be sewed on. If the
opening is long make a cross-stitch
over each dot SO that it VIII not dis
appear as you work.
Vary the method slightly if hooks
and eyes are to be attached. instead
of dotting the places with chalk, run
pins in the goods indicating where
the center of each eye should come.
Force the eyelet ends of hooks apart
a trif1e before sewing them on and the
hooks remain In position securely.
Run piece of whalebone under the
hem on which either snaps or hooks
and eyes are to be sewed before at
taching them, and no stitches Will be
visible on the right side. The stitches
will not catch in the whalebone which
can be withdrawn easily.
Have Work Handy.
Keep a ball of crochet cotton and
a hook in your handbag. When you
are out and are kept waiting uneX-
pectedly, or when you go on train,
even for a short distance, make mar
row edging for table or bureau sets.
As the lengths of laCes are not very
long for any, one piece, the work Is
never bulky. l know of one much
travelled woman who always had tat
ting with her 1t relieved the tedium
of waits in hotels. stations, etc. No
needles, thimhle nor scissors are re-
quired with tatting, just the shuttle
and the thread wound on it.
Simplified French Seams.
When making a French seam use
the narrowest hemmer machine at
tachment, and 1t can be done quickly.
A placket can be finished by sewing a
straight piece of material around the
entire opening. Fell it down on the
right side. Fold in the strip on the
side that is to come on top and let the
part of the strip on the other side re-
main out flat. This will prevent any
thing beneath from showing should
the placket gap even a trifie.

Peter felt better. He watched Jerry
swim over, climb out on the roof of
his house and fill in the hole that
Bobby Coon had made. When Jerry
returned Peter had a question for him.
Weren't you surprised to learn that
Mrs. Snapper had hidden her eggs in

NO" said Jerry. "She has done it
before. 1t really makes a first-class
place for those eggs. 1t is damp

hatch those eggs, and Mrs. Snapper
is smart enough to know It. Well, /

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Virgo.

Tomorrow'S planetary aspects are
very complex, and while not favorable.
neither are they entirey adverse. The
worst period of the day is between
noon and sundown. During this short
period there is an indication that
every influence will be at work to
cause quarrelsomeness disputes and
general discomfort. ITO be forewarned
is to be forearmed" and. with a resolu-
ton not to be affected by these un-
toward conditions this transitory
stage can be successfully passed.
During the remainder of the day IT
would be wise not to attempt any
task out of the ordinary, and to be
satisfied with conditions as they are,
without endeavoring to change or
alter them.
A child born tomorrow will, during
its early years, develop exceptional
physical strength. During later years,
it will show a tendency to grow up
too quickly, and care must be taken to
regulate its exercises. and to see that
it secures the nourishment most ap-
propriate for one in its developing
condition. In character and diSposi-
ton, it will be tractable, amenable
to good influences and rebellious
against everything that is disloyal and
unfair. Its mind promises to be very
not be blunted by measures of repres
sion and acts of coercion. 1t may not
achieve any great worldly success, but
it's character will always serve as a
beacon light to those of its associates
who are weak and ineffective.
If tomorrow is your birthday you
are very methodical, and have no
room in your life for untidiness of
action or slipshodism of thought. You
resent impulse. never speaking with
out careful thought, never attempting
to do anything without much delibera-
ton. You are slow, but very sure,
never satisfied with superficial reasons
that would convince others, but only
act after having delved deeply, and
weighed all the pros and cons" You
may not achieve those dizzy heights
attained by others, but, in any case.
the position to which you may climb
will be built on a sure and safe
foundation.

When making hot starch add

Lobelia.

Motoring along the country road
sides around Washington these days,
watch for the scarlet lobelia in the
waySide bitches. A more gorgeous
Splotch of color does not exist outside
the tropics. We can hardly believe
our eyes when we see this regal spike
scattered with such prodigality of
beauty in the common waste grounds.
Sometimes there grows with this
flower, that has been called the car
dinal flower, another lobelia with flow.
ers of as vivid blue as the others are
red. A glorious company, surely,
forming a parade of brilliance that not
even the combined procession of asters
and goldenrods can surpass.
Watch, too, for tiny little pale
lilac lobelia growing in the common
est dry sandy fields, and even some
times in the city lots. This is the
Indian tobacco" that was, when red
men sat in council on Capitol Hill, one
Of the many leaves from which the
old men drew wisdom. Besides or
dinary tobacco, which was not wild
here, they smoked a variety of native
plants, and this tiny lobelia was one
of them. 1t is hard to imagine how
1t could have tasted very pleasant, but
that there was a kick in it is in
dubitable, for 1t contains a power
full alkaloid not entirely unlike nico-
tine. And, further like nicotine, 1t is
a deadly poison if eaten directly and
swallowed. In fact many animals and
sometimes even children are poisoned
from thoughtlessly eating the leaves
of this innocent-looking little plant.
Indian tobacco. then, is hardly a
wild flower in need of protection, but
of the blue and scarlet lobelias the
same is sadly not true. Some per-
sons who profess to love flowers no
sooner see these lovely dwellers of our
roadside bitches than they stop their
cars and jump out while the whole
family does it's best to kill every plant
in sight. Needless to say, these deli
cate wildlings never survive the home
Journey and are generally thrown out
again on the roadside in a dying state.
