Bears Peel Bark For Sap. Forest rangers report that bears have done considerable damage to young timber in tne Upper Wind River Valley, on the Columbia Na tlonalForest, by peeling the bark for the sap. The trees attackd range from four to twelve inches in diam eter, and the damaged portiin is us ually near the ground. Occasionally Mr. Bear shins up a larger tree and peels out the top and branches. Douglas fir. white fir, western white pine, and lodgepole pine are attacked Indiscriminately; while western yel low pine and hemlock occasionally receive attention. Ranger H. J. Lickel, of Guler, Washington, has observed the peel ing of bark on young growth by bears for eight years. He says: "Mr. Bear peels the trees only when the sap is running, and his reasons for doing so are very appar ent. All sap contains more or less sugar, of which bears are very fond Therefore it is natural that he should peel trees to get the sweet taste, Just as his two-legged brother taps t'no maple for the sugar. "After stripping off the bark, the bear licks the Inside if the bark and also the peeled trunk of the tree until the sap is gone. Then he hunts an other tree. The damage done this way ranges from mere scratches to the peeling of several square feet of bark. "Sometimes the trees are com pletely girdled, in which case they soon die. In other cases, where the girding Is not complete, the trees ex ude a coat of pitch over the scar, making fine fuel for the first fire that comes alcng, which either burns the tree down or leaves a 'cat-face.' "The fresh wounds made by the bears also offer a plint of attack for fumrt and inescts." In travelling one mile through sec ond growth timber where bears were plentiful, Ranger Lickel observed mor than one hundred fresh scars made by the animals in their quest for sap. 1000 Extra Choice Black Locusts for sale at Cummings Nurseries.

PHELPS GROCERY COMPANY THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPt ARE GIVING TOASTED CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS To anyone who doesn't know of the wonderful advances that have been made in the preparation of smoking tobaccos in the last few years it may sound strange to speak of toasted cigarettes. Strictly speaking, we should say ciga rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok ers of this country Will recognize it more readily by its trade name, "LUCKY STRIKE "the toasted cigarette. The American Tobacco Company are producing millions of these toasted ciga rettes and these are being bought in enormous Quantities throuoh th tobacco funds conducted by the news papers of the country and forwarded through the Red Cross Society to the boys in France. This new Drocess nf fratinr tnU-mr, not only improves the flavor of the tobacco but it seals in this flavor and makes the cigarettes keep better. The Red Cross have a cigarette for the wounded soldier, as. in most instances, that is th fir thing asked for. Weekly War News Digest. v j i New V. S. Army Rifle Shows Improve ments Over Other .Models. The United States rifle, model of 1917, commonly called the modified Enfield, has now been tested in the service of the Army a sufficient time to warrant the assertion that it more than justifies the claims made for H, according to a statement authorized by the Secretary of War. The new rifle takes a .30-calIber cartridge, which has the advantage over the British Enfield of being rim less. It has been found that unless rim cartridges are fed through the magazine uniformly with the rim of the top cartridge ahead of the rim of the one immediately below, jams are likely to occirr. The model of 1917 has an over-all length of 46.3 inches; a total weight including oiler and thong case and bayonet of 10 pounds and 5 ounces. The breech mechanism is of the old bolt type.
