cost data, covering operation show
a cut ot one-third in hauling expense.
General Manager II. K. Brooks states.
Maintenance costs on the $155,000
investment represented have not been
completely .forked out as yet, due to
the short length ot time that the
new system has been in use.
Included in general cost reduction
is the fact that by piling from tho
cars, instead ot from tho ground,
larger piles are possible, few
er aro needed, and that in con
sequence the yard area has been re
duced 2C per cent. As the lumber
is no longer rolled oft on the ground
before piling, there Is less breakage,
and practically no lumber is soiled
In muddy weather.
Hauling Efficiency Feature
Under Ujc old system in which the
roll off wagons were used, two
horses pulled one wagon, with a load
of 2200 feet. The tracks make it pos
sible for one horse to draw as high
ns five cars loaded with 2500 feet
each.
The yard .distribution plan now in
use required the laying of 13 miles
of new 20 pound rails, 500 electri
cally welded split switches and cross
overs, all mvltches made to conform
to a standard curve. The track was
all laid by experienced railroad men.

was brought to an even grade

World hears news quickly
But One Hundred Year Ago the Horto
Was the Only Means of "Rapid"
Communication.
A few hours after Caruso died tho
civilised world knew of it nml wns In
mourning. A hundred years ago
Napoleon tiled", on May fi, 1S21 and
It wns exactly sixty .days before jtho
world received the news, tho New Vork
K cuius Post states.
Though the KugllJli were e.xpcctln;
his death nt any moment nud had made
every preparation to have word trans
mitted from St. Helena to Kngland
with nil possible dispatch, It wns not
until July 4, that the news reached
London, having been brought thereby
the sailing vessel Heron. In ncccr-
dance with the spirit of the times,
the message ,wns not glum out on the
arrival of the vessel, but was llrst con
veyed to the colonial otllce, an act
which required approximately two
hours In Itself.
July 4. 1S21, fell on Wednesday.
On Friday, July 0, the news reached
Paris. Messengers were dispatched
from Paris to Oermnny, where the
newspapers commented on the death
of "General llonnparte" for the first
time on July 1-, sixty-eight days after
the event had taken place. And this
notice was In a paper published nt
Mayenee, then virtually French
town.
The Vosslsche Zeltung, founded In
1701 and then, as now, the leading
German dally, contained no notice of
Napoleon's death until July T4, and
then It merely copied the London
Times. Private Individuals living In
tho provinces, regardless of their
station In life, received the news much
later. It wns not conveyed to Goethe,
then living at Weimar, until the very
last of July. He received it In a
letter bearing a black seal.
DEVOTED TO BRITISH CROWN
People of the Island of Jersey Have
for Centuries Been Proud of
Their Loyalty.
There Is no part of the king's do
minions which 1ms shown a more ac
tive devotion than the Island of Jer
sey. The true Jerseyman still regards
the king ns the successor of the dukes
of Normandy. Jersey elected to re
main under the English crown In the
reign of John, when the rest of Nor
mandy reverted to France.
It supported the Royalist cause dur
Jngjhe Civil war and harbored Charles
Upvhen he was In exile; It banished
Victor Hugo because of some slighting
remarks of his about Queen Victoria,
and during the late war It passed Its
own military service act, for which
there was very little need.
Moreover, not once jior twice In this
rough Island story has armed In
vasion by the French been success
fully resisted. The last occasion was
In 1781, when the Jerseymen, although
surprised and outnumbered and desert
ed by their own governor, who was
preparing to capitulate, defeated the
enemy In a most sanguinary battle,
fought In the roynl square of St
Heller. London Mall.
Plant Juice for Flih Bait.
Late In the dry season, when the
rhers are low In the heart of Africa,
the Gwarl, who Inhabit the central
Soudan, set out on prolonged Ashing
expeditions. The natives who live on
the banks of the rivers ure proficient
fishermen, taking great pride In their
work, but the village Gwarl nro not
very sporting In their methods. They
go out for the final results rather
than for the pleasure of the sport.
They pour the Juice of locust tree
IKxIm Into the pools, to which the
streams have shrunk, und this causes
the fish to leap out of the water.
Wildly they leap, flopping out on the
dry river bottom as often as not, but
the excited natives do not wnlt for the
fish to catch themselves. They lenn
over the shallow water, finding great
delight In snatching the leaping fish
as they flash from the river.
This custom of using the "Jump
Juice" seems to have been handed
down from time Immemorial among
these strange Africans.
Safety First.
"Howdy, Gap!" saluted an acquaint
ance, halting his team lu the big road.
"Hop In and go to Tumllnvllle with me.
I hear tell that the women of the Civil
ity league, or whatever they call It,
have noruted that they are going to
begin cleaning up the town today.
Mought as well see what comes off."
"Much oblceged, Zeke, but I reckon
not," replied Gap Johnson of Rumpus
Itldge. "Some fellers from Possum
Flat rid in one day when I wns there
a couple ot weeks ugo nnd started to
clean up the town. I'm sorter getting
along In years nnd hain't as sooplo ns
I onco was, nnd In the course of the
anecdote I got my back sprained ami
my nose skinned right sharply. If the
women start any trouble the Lord only
Knows what would happen to me.
Nope I If I wns to.go any place today
I'd go to Mount I'lzgy, whur nuth'n'
never comes off." Kansas City Star.
Baby Accorded Privilege.
Captain Vldnl, of the itcumshlp
Canada, which docked at Providence,
It. L, wired his superiors In Mar
seilles that a baby boy who was born
aboard the vessel during the passage
from France had been named In honor
of the steamer, Augustu Cunadn Pera
I.'azar, Tho officials extended to the
little fellow the lifelong privileges of
tho boat, so whenever Canada wishes
to visit France he may do. so as a
guest of the C'unadu or any other
bruit of tint llnu.

Young America
Sends Vast Relief
To Needy Abroad
Various relief projects of the Junior
American Red Cross In F.uropcun
countries resulted In helping 1!.'17,000
destitute children during the lust fis
cal year, according to tho annual re
port of the American Red Cross for

ties of the Juniors abroad Is mani
fested by a comparison which shows
this figure Is 20O.OO0 lurgcr than that
of the previous fiscal year.
The National Children's Fund raised
by school children, members of the

At thu present time National I lend'

It Is In the 'J,U.M) of the M.iVa) Red

An Cver Expanding Probltm
That the problem of the disabled

probably will not reach thu peak bo.
fore ltKi.1, Is thu airllnu of well-lii'
formed Government officials and that
1!,.T.)7 Red Cros Chapters regard It
ns their most Important work Is evt
denen that the expansion Is In nowise
conllnt-d to ii pnrllcular section but Is.
on the contrary, nutlnu-wlile. At thu
end of thu tlxral year, Juno III), IP21,
there were 'JiyUs) disabled service men
In tho l.iai-J Culled States I'libllc
Health Service, Contract ami Govern
ment Himpltuls and Soldiers Homes,
nud that number Is Increasing at u
rale of 1,000 a month.
Thousands of these men receiving
medical treatment, comxniintloii and
vocational training from the Govern
ment today, started their efforts to
obtain them through the 1 1 1 Cross
Chupter. The Chapter, ncllng ns the
dliubled man's sgrnt In claims ignlnst
the Government, Informs the man as to
the procedure necesairy to gain for
him that which Is provided him by
Federal statute. His applications for
compensation, medical treatment nnd
training am properly filed with thu aid
of Uic Red Crow Chapter.
Many Forma of Aaalitance
If there Is delay before the man's
claim Is acted upon, thu Red Cross
Chapter lends the mini money to meet
thu Imperative needs of himself ami
his dependents.
Most vital to the man's gnluliig full
benefit from tho Government's uiro Is
keeping his mind free from worry about
his home. Keeping thu veletnu's fain

Informing him of Us welfare Is an
other province of the Chapter. Free
from fenr on this score, the man's re
covery and iidvaucemeiit usually Is
rapid.
Kvery month during the hist yenr,
thu American Red Cross tins given
service of one kind or Mro-thcr to an
average of 120,21.1 former servl o men
nnd their fninllles. An ludlr'llon of
