fruit, berries, vegetables, egg cases
and eases for canned goods Most
of these factories are able 10 use
short length lumber and work up
their product so as to have little
waste.
Among other lines Of remanufac-
turing OF lumber aud timber are
wood ,tovepipes, staNe silos, water
tanks, matches, broom and mop
handles, barrels, hogsheads, hard
tubs, candy pals, vinegar and
meat kegs. Excelsior also is a pro-
duet of the Washington forests.
Cottonwood is chiefly used for this
commodity. The wood pulp is
made from spruce, hemlock, cot
tonwoOd, and fir. Each Of which
is found in large quantities in
Washington forests.
The protection of the Washing
ton forests is rather big problem.
1t should be studied by men who
understand the forests. AT the
present time, we have the forest
rangers who are doing good worl;
in locating fires. Some of these
fires are put out before they have
had a chance TO do much damage.
Ii these fire had not been located
in time, great damage would
have been done to the forests. Il q
campaign was started TO teach
the people to be more careful with
fire ii would also be protection.
Many fires are started by tourists
who threw away lighted cigars and
cigarettes which are not put out
properly. Some are also started by
campfires. Scouting Of airpIanes
for locating fires is also a protec-
tion Of the forests. For many a
fire is started where there is no
traffic, These fires can best be
located by airpllnes. Storing of
fire lighting implements at points
of advantage and construction Of
.pa>sable trails through the forests

at greater advantage will also be
created protection for the forests.

10 Years Canning
By Budgeting Nesds

Taking care OF surplus foods in
times OF plenty makes it possible
for a housewife to serve well bal
anced meals throughout the year
without great expense. With mod
em methods of canning, one may
keep any amount of vegetables.
fruits and meats for use out of sea
son, and thus provide two servings
OF fruit and two of vegetables
each day.
A canning budget should be
made TO avoid an undersupply or
an undersupply of canned goods.
This budget should allow for ons
canned vegetable day. A stored
vegetable or an occasional one
bought fresh may provide the see
ond vegetable, say, Miss Il. Belle
Alger, extensive specialist in foods
and nutrition at the State College
of Washington. One serving Of
canned fruit a day should be pro
vidcd in this budget. This may be
supplemented by an additional ser
wing of fresh or stored fruit.
just as fruits and Vegetables
are cauned in summer for winter
use, so meats may be canned in
winter for summer use During
butchering the surplus may BE
canned, thus eliminating the nee
essity of using a large amount at
certain seasons in order to save il.
Chickens may also be canned with
success and the housewife IL inde-
pendent OF the markets.

Washington Forests, Their
Protection and Use


Protection and Use
John Danielson, Dockton School
Tie principal varieties Of trees
found in the Washington forests
are the Douglas fir, cedar, hemlock.
spruce, and western pine. These
constitute about $40 Of the MGR
charitable timber. In smaller guam
titles are found larch, maple, ash,
alder, and a few other varieties OF
| limited use. The most heavily tim
bered area of the state lies wesJ of
the Cascade Mountains, but there is
also found in some sections OF
eastern Washington, excellent pine
and small quantity OF frs, cedar
aud tamarack.
Much of the timber still remain
ling is on the mountain slope and
foothills. About a third is mclud-
ed i'll the eleven United States For
est Reserves. The total of which
| in the United States of Washing
ton amounts to 9,927,679 acres,
acres. While of privately owned
there are about 100000 acres adj
ditional.
These reserves cover 1,534,660
acres of the Olympic Peninsula,
several million acres Of the Gas
cade Mountains, considerable OF
the Okanogan Highlands aud some
of the Blue Mountains.
The thickest growth of timber
to the acre is in western Washing
ton where the big Douglas fir and
red cedar grow The Eastern Wash
ington sections have a light growth
of pine, hemlock, tamaraek and
spruce.
The king of the woods is the
Douglas fir. Sometimes trees are
(! found to be from two 10 four hun
dred years old, 1t often reaches
two hundred feet without a limb.
Single trees have been known to
yield $4,000 feet of lumber. The
Douglas fir has no equal among
the timbers of the world in the
/ variety Of uses to which ii can be
put. According to tests made by
government and railroad timber
experts, the Douglas fir has been
proven stronger than oak. This
wood is superior to any other wood
for ship timberS, spars, and masts.
II is also used for biidge timber3
and all other lines of railway con
struction, being especially yalu-
able for heavy construction work.
II also makes fine flooring and
finishing lumber.
Next in importance, is cedar now
the recognized Single material of
the country. The Washington ee-
dar shingles are coming more and
more into use and are being
shipped TO all parts of the United
States and other countries.
The spruce is also an important
tree in the Washington forests. Ii
sometimes grows to gigantic
size. Its wood is white resembling
1.-THE white pine. 1t is fine grained,
light in weight, aud is the box and
helf wood of the country. Nearly
Ill the salmon boxes are made
from spruce. During the World
War, very much spruce was taken
out Of the Washington forests for
airplane construction. 1t is free
from pitch and odors of any kind,
and some is used for musical in
struments.
Large tracts of hemlock are
found in Western Washington.
II differs III many important par
ticuIars from the hemlock of the
Atlantic Coast, Ii makes fine lum-
Der, is easily worked, takes a
beautiful finish, and like spruce
i, well adapted for bax material,
shelving, and finishing lumber. II

Governor Smith. on the other hand. he declared. has always been . poll. tician.
 Next Tuesday will determine whether the workinEmen of New Britain will continue to work through the election of the republt- can ticket. or will turn to bread lines and hard times. in the opinion of Col. Wood. as expressed to the rule workers. He quoted statistics Q back up hts claim of prosperity un- dor the republican party. using the arguments of wages here and abroad as the main point.
 He warned that Smith and the democrats will lot down the bArs on immigration and that by 70 doing he will give every job holder . com petitor for his place. and give the country another mouth to feed.

The demo- crats also count on . heavy vets fov Smith in Newark and many other citiex. although they concsde that the suburban and country sections ars likely to turn out strongly fer Hoover. Registration in the state as whole has increased by about one third. and the Hague organization points out that the increases in Hudson and Essx counties tetalisd around 100000.
 Claims of . democratic victory arc described by E. B. Mott the rs- publican state chairman. as wholly ridiculous He declares his prophecy of 3s0.ooo Hoover margin ars based on detailed reports of . dsh- nite Hoover swing all over the state. He even ts claiming Eoex county by 10000.
 Nor do the republican leaders fail to point out to inquirsrs what a heavy turnover from previous l presidential counts would b. neces- sary to swing New Jersey to Smith. Although it has been choosing democratic governors and senators. the state has been persistently re- publican in the electoral college ever since the Tilden Cleveland era. After voting the democratic ticket for five successive times. New Jer- sey quit the party in lsss. It has given no democratic presidential nominee . majority since. although in 1912 Wilson did carry the state by . minority vote when the repub- licans divided between Taft and Roosevelt.

 In view of the nominee's state- ment that he intended to employ the hnal week of the campaign in . summing up of the questions he be- lieves ars at issue. several of those in hts party were of the opinion to- day that hs would devote at least . part of his single Maryland speech to prohibition. as he did in Phila- delphia- Others thought he would take another oral ding at Herbert Hoover. probably in connection with his extra session statement on farm relief.
