The Educator Shoe for Men and Boys Is
Built to Conform to the Shape of the
Natural Foot
* U. S. >\rmy tests prove that 20 per cent, or more of bodily efficiency is lost through narrow,
pointed shoes. Such shoes bend and crumple the bones, causing corns, callouses, ingrowing nails
and falling arch—and in a short time the whole system is affected:
A shoe, on the other hand, that is built to. conform to the shape of a natural foot without extra
loo&eness, will permit the foot to grow as it should and it will correct bent bone troubles that
have not gone too far. Such a shoe will restore energy.
That shoe is the good-looking, roomy-toed Educator.
Made for men, Women and boys.
In tan, willow falf, gun metal, calf and black vici kid, blucher lace style, with wear-resisting oak
leather soles.
Your money back for the asking if a pair of Educator fails to give satisfaction. Price, $4.50

U. S. FOREST COMMISSION
DOES MUCH WORK 11914
Annual Report Shows Many Improve
ments Were Made for Farmers,
Grazers and Timber Growers in All
Sections of Country
Washington, D. C., March 1. —Selling
some' billion and a half board feet of
timber and supervising the cutting on
several thousand different areas, over
seeing the grazing of more than 1,500,-
000 cattle and 7,500,000 sheep, and
building more than 600 miles of road,
2,000 miles of trail, 3,000 miles of
telephone line, and 700 miles of lire
line are some of the things whieihi the
government forest service did last
year, as disclosed in the report by the
chief forester for 1914. These activi
ties were all on the national forests,
which at present total about 1.85,000,-
000 acres.
There is need, says the chief for
ester, to increase the cut of timber
from the national forests where<ver a
fair price can be obtained for . Che
stumpage, because a great deal of it is
mature and ought td be taken out to
make room for your<; growth. Unfavor
able conditions in the luimber trado
caused new sales of national forest tim
ber to ffill oft' somewhat during the past
year, though the operations on out
standing sales contracts brought the
total cut above that of tflie previous
year by 130,000,000 board feet. There
was, however, a big increase in small
timber sales, these numbering 8,298
in 1914 against 6,182 the previous
year. Desirable blocks of national for
est timber have been appraised and put
on the market, and it is expected that
these will find purchasers when condi
tions in the lumber industry improve.
All told, the government received sl,-
304,053.66 from the sale of timber
on the forests in 1914. The receipts
from all sources totaled $2,437,710.21.
After eight years of experience stock
men are well satisfied, says the chief
I forester, with the way the grazing of
| livestock on the forests is regulated,
and have even urged upon Congress the
! application of the same metho I of con
i trol to the unreserved public range. Al
! most 29,000 permittees graze stock on
1 the national forests, and these paid to
the government in the fiscal year 1914
i fees amounting to over a million dol
| lars. The present tendency to raise
i fewer sheep and goats and more cattle
i and horses is shown in the fact that
' the number of cattle and horse permit
! tees on the western forests increased
i last year by 1,579, while the number
■ of sheep and goat permittees fell off by
a total of 268. The western stock
| business, the forester points out, is
becoming attached to the soil, and the
'itinerant sheep grower and the specu
[ lator in cattle are giving place to the
! permanent resident and owner of im
proved ranch property. The latter is
j always given preference in the use of
I national forest range.
| Some $400,000 was spent by the for
j est service during the year for perma
| nent improvements on the national for
| ests to make them accessible and to in
| sure their protection from fire. These
improvements include 270 miles of new
' road, 2,153 miles of trail, 3,063 miles
|of telephone line, 775 miles of firo
| line, and 106 lookout structures, be
sides bridges, corrals, fences and cab
ins. In addition, 642 miles of road
were built for the public by the use of
10 per cent, of the national forest re
ceijits, as authorized by Congress.
Under another law, 25 per cent, of
; the national forest receipts for tho
year, amounting to $586,593,39, were
paid over to the various states in which
i t'hie forests lie for the benefit oif county
j schools and roads.
Since 1909, when systematic clas i
i fication of national forest lands was be
gun, more than 10.000,000 acres have
been eliminated. Scattered interior
tracts which it is not practica. to elimi
nate are opened to settlement through
i listing, which allows them to be taken
up under the forest homestead law.
j Anyone may apply to have '(and within
■ a forest examined to determine whether
I it is best suited for agriculture, and if

A NEW CHEAP INSECTICIDE
THAI WILL BANISH PESTS
Para-dichlorobenzene, Non-inflammable
and Inexpensive, Will Kill Moths,
Flits, Roaches and Ants and In
sects Attacking Stored drain
Washington. D. C., March I.
"Para-di-ehlorobenzene" is the for
midable name of a chemical compound
which has only recently been used as
an insecticide, but which, in being non
inflammable and- comparatively inex
pensive, possesses advantages over oth
er fumigants. The U. S. Department
of Agriculture's new bulletin (No.
167) is entitled, " Para-diehlorotoen
zene as an Insect Fumigant" and
points out that the compound, although
deadly to insects, is harmless to human
beings under ordinary conditions and
does not have an odor which clings to
fabrics, as do many insecticides.
Para-diefolorobenzcne is applied in
most instances in the same manner as
cam.phor and naphthalene. It is not,
however, necessary to sprinkle it
around in corners or over rugs and
other material, as is often the case
with camphor and naphthalene, but
merely to expose a sufficient quantity
in one or two open or partially closed
receptacles, placed over, or higher,
than the infested cases, goods and ma
terial which require fumigation.
Para-dichlorobenzene at the present
time is sold in 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100-
pound and barrel lots, the prices for
which are as follows: 23 cents per
pound, in 5, 10 and 25-pound lots; 18
cents per pound in 50-pound lots; 17
cents per pound, in 100-pound lots; 15
cents per pound, in barrel lots.
If any considerable quantity is to
be used, it is much bettor to purcitoase
of somo wholesale druggist or direct
from the manufacturers.
Para-diehlorobenzene is applicable
to many insect pests living under vari
ous conditions and environment and,
therefore, requires specilic methods of
application, and, unlike carbon bisul
pliid, it is at the present time used only
indoors and in other places where its
vapors can be closely confined. As
there is a great variation in the tenac
ity of life among, insects, the existing
conditions Should be carefully noted
before para-diehlorobenzene is applied.
Beetles, such as the rice weevil,
granary weevil, the confused flour
beetle, the cadelle, the yellow meal
worm and a few others less common,
are particularly hard to kill when in
the adult stage. The larvae of certain
other mealworms are likewise found
by experiment to possess great tenacity
of life. It is, therefore, recommended
that a proportionately larger amount
of para-diehlorobenzene be used when
combating these species. Moths, flies,
roaches, ants and aphides are reaidily
killed by para-diehlorobenzene when
used in the ordinary strangeth, as pre
viously recommended.
The ae'tion of para-diehlorobenzene
on insects is primarily upon their nerv
ous systems This property is readily
manifested when a motth is exposed to
the vapors for a few seconds. It first
diplays great excitement and uneasi
ness, followed closely by spasmodic
convulsions, and finally turns over on
its hack. While in this position violent
nervous and muscular reflex action is
noticed until life is extinct.
Para-diclilorobenzene is a colorless,
crystalline substance, which evaporates
very quickly as a vapor, if exposed. It
is not advisable for sensitive -persons
to remain for a long time in a closed
room where para-dichlorobenzene is
freely exposed, as the odor may cause
annoyance. OH the other hand, para
dichlonybenzeue can be used in closed
or occasionally opened cupboards and
even in sitting rooms without causiug
any inconvenience whatsoever.
BOY SCOUT CRUSHED TO DEATH
Lumber Pile Falls On Him While

STUDYING THE MISSOURI
Water Resources of Entire River Basin
Being Investigated by United
States Geological Survey
Washington, D. C., March I.—A sys
tematic study of Missouri River and its
tributaries is being carried on by the
United States Geological Survey. Con
sidering the varied character of the
streams of the Missouri River basin and
their great economic value for irriga
tion, power, and other purposes, the in
vestigation is one of the highest im
portance.
The water supply of this great drain
age area is the subject of a publica
tion recently issued by the Geological
Survey, entitled "Surface Water Sup
ply of the Missouri River Basin, 1912"
(Water-Supply Paper 326), by W. A.
barnb, Robert iFollanSbee, and 11. D.
Padgett. This report contains the rec
ords of flow at 130 permanent stations
of the Survey during the year 1912,
data which are necessary to every form
of water development, whether it lie
water power, navigation, irrigation, or
domestic water supply. Some of tho
tributary streams are exceedingly var
iable in flow; others, like the Niobrara
in Nebraska, are remarkably uniform.
The Missouri proper is formed in
southwestern M'ontana by the junction
of three streams which were discov
ered by Lewis and Clark in 1806 and
were named by them Jefferson, Madison
and Oallatin rivers. Of these three
Jefferson River drains tlio largest area
and is considered the continuation of
the main stream. This part of Mon
tana is mountainous and affords many
excellent water-power sites. Among
the principal tributaries of the Missouri
are the Marias, Musselshell, Yellow
stone, Cheyenne, Platte and Kansas.
The western part of the basin is in tho
arid belt and the eastern part is in tho
lemiarid and humid regions.
Ten States of the Union are drained
in part by Missouri River. Rising at
the Red Rock Lakes, at an elevation of
6,700 feet above sea level, this stream
descends through the Rocky Mountains
and emerges on the broad prairie land
a few miles below the city of Great
Palls, M'ont. From that point it is ac
counted a navigable stream with an
easy grade, and in passing through the
Dalcotas and along the borders of Ne
braska, Kansas and lowa it receives tho
flow of great tributaries, so that as it
crosses the State of Missouri and joins
the Mississippi a short distance above
St. Louis it becomes one of the large
rivers of the world. Its total drainage
area is about 492,000 square miles in
extent and comprises, in addition to tho
States above mentioned, large areas in
Wyoming and Colorado and a smaller
area in the southwestern part of Minne
sota.
TROOPERS KILL RIOT LEADER
Battle Opened by Foreigner Beating
Woman With Poker
Washington, Pa., March 1. —A negro
desperado suprposed to be Charles Smith,
33 years of age, is dead; State Trooper
Charles Nicholson is dying in a Pitts
burgh 'Hospital and several citizens are
suffering from minor wounds, as a re
sult of a pitched battle, following a
riot on the outskirts of t'he new man
ufacturing town of 'Langeloth, near
here, the model town to which the late
Jaeo'b Langeloth, of New York, left
SIOO,OOO.
The trouble which resulted in the
tragedy had its beginning in the beat
ing of a woman by a drunken foreign
er. Smith, the man later killed, was
not concerned in the initial trouble, but
later 'became the leader of a mob which
battled the State police, who had been
called.
Early yesterday morning State troop
ers were called to a foreign settlement
near Langeloth by report of a riot. On
arriving they found that a general fight
had been started by a drunken alien
attacking a foreign woman with a pok
er andl beating her almost to deatli.
The arrival of the State troopers seem
ed the signal for a still further out
break.
'Holding the maddened foreigners in
check as best they might, Corporal
Mauk and Troopers Nicholson and Me
('ormick started on a search for tho
man who had wielded the poker. They
were succeeding in their effort to quiet
the foreigners when suddenly Smith, a
giant of a man, appeared on the scene.
Smith was armed with two heavy re
volvers and, running out into tho front
of the mob of foreigners, he yelled at
t'hem to charge the three troopers. The
lines of the foreigners came together
with some system and a disastrous
charge seemed imminent.
