months when other labor on the farm
is not required
Scrape all of the floors, roosts and
dropping boards as well as food
troughs and equipment in the brooder
house. Sweep thoroughly after scrap
ing and diligently and thoroughly with
boiling water which may contain a
small amount Of I've.
II your work is thoroughly done at
the present time II will not be over
looked or hurriedly done when the

good Job and do 1t now.

Sword of Franklin is
Discovered in Paris

Paris.-The long-drawn-out polemics
and discussions as to whether Benja-
min Franklin ever wore a sword at
the courts of France and England
have been solved by the discovery of
the weapon in the private collection
Of NJ. Honore Hecquest d'Orval, de-
scendant Of P. J. Cabanis.
1t was presented to M. Cabanis by
Franklin shortly after the conclusion
of the treaty of peace by which Great
Britain recognized the independence Of
the United States of America.
A unique feature Of the sword Is
that it is not similar to those usual
ly regarded as a "courtier's sword"
being of full military length with a
triangular blade of the finest Shelf
field notices and the deliberately CHS.
eled hilt and guard-the gift Of Louis
XVIII might have been the sword of
an officer.
The blade bears the inscription:
Sword which was carried by BEN
jamin Franklin in the battles fought
in America for the cause Of Liberty.
He gave it later to his friend, P. ]. G.
Cabanis."
The discovery is due to NJ. Girodie,
curator of the museum established in
the historic chateau Of Bierancourt by
the citizens of the new French repub-
lie, shortly after franklin bGde his
final farewell to the soil Of France.

HEARTS DESIRE
By Barton Reese Pogue

I wish we had some youngsters,
But we amt;
We'd like to have somebody
Daub and paint
His initials on the wagon shed,
Put turtle in our bed,
Shave his little sisters head
But we amt.
1t would surely be pleasure
Havin' them,
A-fixin' Christmas presents
All for them,
A-makin' ships and what-me- nots,
Little frocks with polka dots
And entertainin' little tots,
Just for them.
Seems some folks that have them
Rather'd not,
And some, the worse they are,
The more they've got.
Funny how this life is made,
Some of sunshine, some of shade
But poorly mixed for some who've
prayed
A lot
Oh, wish we had some Riddles
But we amt;
suppose we've not reason
For complaint,
But to see you buyin' toys,
For your laughing girls and boys,
Seems we ought TO share your joys
But we CANT.

MILLIONS OF ACRES IN NATIONAL
FORESTS NEED PLANTING

More than 100000 acres within the
$50 national forests of the United
States will require artificial planting,
according to the U. S. Forest Service,
Portland, Oregon Bad fires in the
past or logging by destructive methods
before the lands came under federal
administration have SO denuded these
areas that they can be made to grow
new crops of timber only by planting.
From 1910 to 1923, 28,918 acres have
been planted up in Oregon and Wash
ington, and total of 20,546, 900 young
trees set out in the last twenty years
by the federal foresters in this district.
Although foresters depend largely on
natural re-seeding of cut-over lands
in the Northwest, it is estimated that
some 100000 acres within the % ma
tlonal forests of Washington ana
Oregon will eventually have to be
planted with young trees.
A total of 1895 acres on all nation
al forest land was planted last year,
forest records snow. OF these, 11,4i7
acres were in Michigan, where volun-
tary contributions of funds by interest
ed organizations enabled the forest
service to plant nearly 5000 acres more
than would otherwise have been pos
sible Due to private contributions,
notably in Michigan and Washington,
and to an increase in the federal ap-
preparation for planting, nearly SO
per cent more land was planted in the
national forests in 1923 than in any
previous year during the past decade.

Traffic
BY WALTER P. cHRYsLER
THE EMERGENCY BRAKE

The emergency brake has real
place in traffic. Watch the taXi-cab
driver the next time you pillow
through congested area. He uses
every bit Of mechanism on his car
to save himself and the vehicle too.
If he is going to have two or three
minute wait for traffic lights on a
hill, he does not sit with both pedals
pressed down to the floor, thus
throwing out the clutch and putting
on the brake. He takes the precious
minutes for slight rest both for
himself and his car. He releases
both pedals, puts his car in neutral
and jerks on his emergency brake.
When traffic starts, he puts his car
and when the signal comes to go he
slowly releases his emergency brake,
equalizing by possible pressing down
a little on his foot brake so that
the start is gradual.
You may say that this is matter
of skill, but so is all driving skill.
When parking on hill, in .addi-
ton to putting on the emergency
brake, turn the car wheels in
towards the curb, thus chucking the
wheels on the curbstone.
The main objection to leaving the
car in gear as q means of braking
is that a hard enough blow from
another car will strip the gars ii
the emergency were not on. The
emergency brake should be in good
condition for full operation on every
car at all times. If it were not a
vitality necessary adjunct to the car
it would not be on it.

LITTLE CHANGE is MADE IN
RADIO RECEIVERS

That the many improvements and
the technical terms used to describe
these improvements make the selec-
tion of new radio more difficult this
season than at any previous time, is
the opinion of Orrin E Osborne, as
sistant professor of electrical engineer
ing at the State College of Washington.
In a recent talk on the subject, How
to Select Your New Radio" Professor
Osborne explained number of these
points and emphasized those to be
observed in purchasing one of the
newer type sets.
1.-The buying of new radio is some
what like buying new car; they are
all good, but fall into different price
classes SO there will be radio for
every purse. Radio receivers are be-
ing standardized somewhat like cars
Mr.. Osborne declares,
The radios this year are more
sensitive, more selective and give better
tone quality than last years models.
The improvement is probably more
noticeable in the low priced sets be-
cause there was more room for i'm
provement. Good tone quality means
Just one thing-the ability of the re-
ceiver to reproduce, as perfectly as
possible, the tone produced in the
broadcast studio That in turn means
that all the tones are treated alike,
none being Overemnhasized. suppress
ed or distorted Many meaningless
terms are used to describe these
qualities to the ute. confusion Of the
purchasing public. These high sound
ing names do not improve the results.
I'VE hear the phrase, screen grid
tube a great deal nowadays. This,
theoretically, is very efficient radio
frequency amplifier, which when used
in properly designed circuit will give
greater an,DlificatidaN than the older
tynsMlta tubes. 1.-THE screen grid tube in
