A two story community building con-
structed of logs is being built at the
Halfway camp grounds 13 miles east of
Ely. This recreational improvement
will include a fireplace, tables, rest
rooms, and dressing rooms for both men
and women who wish to make use Of
the bathing beach. The dressing rooms
will have shower bath facilities. This
work, and the shelter and bath house at
Flour lake on the Gunflint district will
be accomplished by CCC workers.
A shelter and bath house is being
started on the camp grounds at Fenske
lake on the La Croix district, and at
Leander lake on the Mesaba ranger dis
trict. These buildings will have large
room with a fireplace, and smaller
dressing rooms. They will be built OF
logs, and completed this winter.
Administration buildings at the two
nurseries recently established on the
Superior will be completed soon. A
dwelling, cold storage plant, and wash
house are being added to the buildings
already erected at the Knife River
nursery near Two Harbors.
The Eveleth nursery near Eveleth will
be complete when another warehouse,
washhouse, two cold storage houses and
a pumphouse are finished. Both nur-
series are equipped with an overhead
sprinkling system, and compost pit
for curing fertilizer and peat.
While the drought has taken heavy
toll on farm products in many sections
of the country, there is one farm crop
that has not been damaged greatly.
This is the timber crop, and farmers
will be looking to their woodlands more
than ever this winter for part of their
cash income. Forest products ranked
ninth in cash income in the big Ten"
of farm crops in 1884. They are headed
in value only by cotton, fruits and nuts,
truck crops, wheat, tobacco, potatoes,
corn, and hay, and outrank IS other
major farm crops such as barley, beans,
rice, rye, peanuts and sugar crops, ac-
cording to the latest figures of the u.
S. Department of Agriculture. These
figures show that farm woodlands pay
their owners nearly $63 100000 year;
that farmers receive $3.50, 900 a year
from such sales in New York, 81, sos 900
in Georgia, and $4,O22, 900 in Wisconsin.
Depending more and more on income
from their woodlands, farmers are TAX
ing measures to make this income per-
manent.
Fire protection facilities are being
increased on the Superior National
Forest. A greater amount of protection
will be afforded the Superior before
the approach of another fire season.
Four new 100 foot lookout towers are

erected. The other two, with neces-
sary buildings, will be completed during
the winter and early spring. The build
ings include a cabin, garage and latrine.

Rabies in dog is a rare disease.
But fits, often mistaken for rabies
by hysterical people, are common.
When dog falls unconscious, snap

is not sign of rabies. The only sure
way to tell if dog has rabies is
to confine him and watch him care
