SOFTW00DS DEMAND
CONTINUES TO ADVANCE
Bad Weather Has Held Back
Growth in Business Expected
at This Season.

Demand for softwoods continues to
improve. though bad weather has
prevented it from reaching the pro-
portions it was expected to reach by
this time. the American Lumberman
reports. Softwood bookings during
the first Il weeks of the year exceed
ed mill production by II per cent,
whereas for the same period last year
the excess was only Ii per cent.
The favorable showing is to some
extent due to curtailment of produc.

Odd Pillar Formation
the Worb of Nature

Columns Of pillars of various min
eral matters, sometimes Of great size,
have been found by biologists. They
are said to have been formed by un-
equal weathering.
Similar Ice pillars are sometimes
seen on the surface Of glacier, due
to the protection of the ice from melt
ing under the heat of the sun by the
shadow cast by the rock mass.
There are rain-made columns con-
tanning many large stones near Ante
lope park in a small tributary Of the
Rio Grande. The stones protect the
portion beneath them from the rain.
When the waters descended, the walls
being made first, they formed the col
umns shown. Some Of the columns are
60 or so feet high, and some 400 feet
high.
In certain districts sandstones have
been split and left in fragments, re-
sembling huge single stones that 30
closely cover the surface that in many
places one can leap from stone to
stone without descending to the
ground. These stones are frequently
Of considerable size, many Of them
being from 20 to % feet ACROSS and 12
feet in thickness.
Stones Of this character have been
employed for the formation Of the so
called druidical circles. and are there
fore called the druid stones. Some
times stones Of this character, from
their resemblance at a distance to q
flock of sheep, are called gray wethsfs

FACILITIES FOR
YOUR COMMUNITY

Practically any town OF any size In
the United States periodically reads
an item like this about itself: "Tele-
phone company to enlarge Its factil-
tiles here to care for future growth
of the community"
No village is too small to interest
the telephone company, whose aim it
Is to anticipate the telephone needs OF
every community and rural district.
1t is this desire to extend its serv-
ice to the farthest corners Of the
nation and into the smallest homes,
which has given the United States a
telephone service which is so far be-
yond that enjoyed by any other nation
that comparisons are impossible. The
telephone, in America, is not confined
to government uses. to the aristocracy
or to the official class.
No industry Is more representative
of democracy than the telephone; 1t
serves all on the same basis and with
the same courtesy. No other industry
has greater distribution Of its stocks
and bonds among its employees and the
people Of the nation.-The Manufac-
turer, Industrial News Bureau.

THAT ALL USEFUL
TELEPHONE BOOK

You boast about your Libraries,
OF fussy books and suchl
But when your really sift them down
They don't amount to much;
You read book just one time through
Then put 1t on a shelf
For some lone, hungry bookworm
To enjoy his little self,
Yes, I'm willing to admit 1t,
For I'm not a bit stuck up,
Longside of Burns and Shakespeare
I'm just a mongrel pup;
I'm not dressed up In vellum
With leather coat and band
But what's printed on my pages
Everyone can understand.
True to the instinct of my kind,
No matter where l roam
| buckle down to business
And call 1t home, sweet home;
l am the busy housewives friend,
Sometimes the baby's toy,
And I'm the business ally
OF father and the boy.
You'll find me living Id dive,
Or palace of king"
Or any place beneath the skies
Where telephones may ring;
I'm very well acquainted
With all shades and kinds Of men,
And I'm read more In q single year
Than Shakespeare Is In ten.

Music Charms Horses

Horses are particularly sensitive to
music, especially martial airs. In
1902 a certain British regiment was
making a military test march. When
the music started a young horse, rid
den by a captain, fastened forward
and placed itself in spite of its rider,
behind the last rank Of the musicians.
Then It followed peacefully, giving
obvious signs Of pleasure. When the
music ceased the captain was able
to resume his place at the head of his
company. But when the band struck
up again the horse galloped ahead, and
once more placed itself behind the
musicians.

The SuUer Sword

On the Hawaiian islands may be
found wonders of nature not seen any
where else in the world. On Maui, the
Garden island, the volcano Of Halea-
kala rears its snow-capped crest above
the clouds. The rim Of the crater is 20
miles around, and here 1t is that the
rare silver sword plant may be found.
From distance It resembles the yucca
of California. Thick felt-like leaves
cluster at the base of tall slender
stem, crowned with a silvery plume of
flowers. The silver sword is becoming
scarce, due to the ravages of mountain
goats. 1t grows in such inaccessible
places that 1t is as difficult to gather
as the Alpine edelwelss.

SCOTTISH COUNTY'S
FIRST TELEPHONE

Here in America. where not only
every county of every State, but prac-
tlcally every hamlet, has telephone
connection, it is difficult to imagine
in these days an entire county without
telephones. However, such a situation
has existed in Great Britain up to Just
few weeks ago.
A recent issue of the Telegraph and
Telephone Journal of London states
that the telephone has just penetrated
the county of Sutherland In northern
Scotland for the first time, exchanges
having been established at Dornoeh
and Golspie, and adds the rather In
teresting information that I'VE believe
that telephone exchanges now exist IN
every county in England Scotland and
