The Educator Shoe for Men and Boys Is
" Built to Conform to the Shape of the
Natural Foot
" U. S. Army tests prove that 20 per cent, or more of bodily efficiency is lost through narrow,
pfointed shoes. Such shoes bend and crumple the bones, causing corns, callouses, ingrowing nails
ind 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
looseness, 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 ralf, gun metal, calf and black vici kid, blueher lace'style, with wear-resisting oak
leather soles.

11. S. FOREST MISSION
DOES MUCH WORK ill 1914
Annual Report Shows Many Improve
ments Were Made for Farmers,
Grazers and Timber Growers in All
Sections of Country
Washington, D. C., March I.—.Selling
some' billion and a half board feet o?
timber and supervising the cutting on
several thousand different areas, over
seeing the grazing of more than 1,600,-
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 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>8a,000,-
000 acres.
There is need, says the chief for
ester, to increase the cut cxf timber
frojii the national forests whcreiver a
fair price can be obtained for _ th>o
stumpage, because a great deal of it is
mature and ought t<j be taken out to
make room for young growth. Unfavor
able conditions in the lumibor trade
caused new sales of national forest tim
ber to fell off somewhat during the past |
year, though the operations on out-1
standing sales contracts brought the
total cut above that of tfhe 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 0,182 the previous
year. Desirable blocks of national for
est timber have been appraised and put
on the market, anil it is expected that ]
these will find purchasers when condi
tions in the lumber industry improve.
All told, the government received Jl,-
304,053.66 from the sale of timber
on the forests in 1914. The receipts
i from all sources totaled $2,437,710.21.
After eight years of experience stock
! men arc well satisfied, says the chief
I forester, with the way the grazing of ■
| livestock on the forests is regulated, 1
; and have even urged upon Congress the
! application of the same inetho I of con
i trol to the unreserved public range. Al
j most 29,000 permittees graze stock on
1 the national forests, and these paid to
the government in the fiscal year 1914
fees amounting to over a million dol
| lars. The present tendency to raise
j feiwer sheep and goats and more cattle
and horses is shown in the fact that
t the number of cattle and horse permit
! tecs on the western forests increased
! last year by 1,579, while the number
I of sheep and goat permittees fell off by i
la totarof 268. The western stock
i business, the forester points out, is
becoming attached to the soil, and tho
| itinerant sheep grower and the sipecu- '
; lator in cattle are giving place to the
I permanent resident and owner of im
' proved ranch property. The latter is
; always given preference in the use of
| national forest range.
| Some $400,000 was spent by the for- 1
! est service during the year for perma
i nent improvements on the national for
| ests to make them accessible and to in- '
i sure their protection from fire. These
! improvements include 270 miles of new
■ road, 2,153 miles of trail, 3,063 miles 1
Jof telephone line, 775 miles of fire
| line, and 106 lookout structures, be
sides bridges, corrals, fences und cab- 1
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 1
| year, amounting to $586,593,39, were
paid over to the various states in which
I t'hie forests lie for tho benefit of county
] schools and roads.
Since 1909, when systematic clas i
ficaticn of national forest lands was be
gun, more than 10,000,000 acres have
'been eliminated. Scattered interior
tracts which it is not practical to elimi
nate arc opened to settlement through
i listing, which allows them to be taken
jup under the forest homestead law.
I Anyone may apply to have 'land within
: a forest examined to determine whether
I it is best suited for agriculture, and if
j found so it is opened to settlement un
j der this law. During the year 2,690-
tracts, totaling 2 52,4 83 a-cres, applied
for by individuals were opened' for en
try. By elimination and listing the
percentage of unpatented agricultural i

A NEW CHEAP INSECTICIDE
THAT WILL BANISH PESTS
Para-dichlorobenzene, Non-Inflammable
and Inexpensive, Will Kill Moths,
Flits, Roaches and Ants and In
sects Attacking Stored Grain
Washington, D. C., March I.
"'Para-dichlorobenzene" 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-dichloroben
zene as an Insect Fumigant" and
points out that the compound, although
deadly bo insects, is harmless to human
beings under ordinary conditions and
does not have an odor which clings to
fabrics, as do many insecticides.
Para-die hJorobenzene is applied in
most instances in the same manner as
camphor and naphthalene. It is not,
however, necessary to sprinkle it
around in corners or ovor 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 pet
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 better to purchase
of some wholesale druggist or direct
from the manufacturers.
Para-dichlorobenzene is applicable
to many insect pests living under vari
ous conditions and environment and,
therefore, requires specific methods of
application, and, unlike carbon bisul
phid, 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-dichlorobenzene is applied.
Beetles, such as the rice weevil,
granary weevil, the confused flour
beetle, the eadelle, 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-dichloro'benzene bo used when
combating these species. Moths, flics,
roaches, ants and aphides are roaxlily
killed by para-dichloro'benzene when
used in the ordinary strangeth, as pre
viously recommended.
The action of para-dichlorobenzene
on insects is primarily upon their nerv
ous systems This property is readily
manifested when a moth 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 back. While in this position violent
nervous and muscular reflex action is
noticed until life is extinct.
Para-dichlorobenzene 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. On the other hand, para
dichl'ortfbenzene can be used in closed
or occasionally opened cupboards and
even in sitting rooms without causing;
any inconvenience whatsoever.
BOY SCOUT CRUSHED TO DEATH

STUDYING THE ItIISSOURI
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.
Lamb, Robert tFollanabee, and H. 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 be
water power, navigation, irrigation, or
domestic water supply. Some of the
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 tho junction
of three streams which were discov
ered by Lewis and Clark in 1806 and
were named by them Jefferson, Madison
and fiallatin rivers. Of those three
Jefferson River drains the 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 the
arid belt and the eastern part is in tho
semiarid 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, Mont. Prom that point it is ac
counted a navigable stream with an
easy grade, and in passing through the
Dakotas and along the borders of Ne
braska, Kansas ami lowa it receives the
flow of great tributaries, so that as it
crosses the Stato 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 I.—A negro
desperado supposed to bo Charlos Smith,
33 years of age, is dead; -State Trooper
■Charles Nicholson is dying in a Pitts
burgh 'Hospital and several citizens aro
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
Jacob 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 tight
had been started by a drunken alieu
attacking a foreign woman with a pok
er andl beating her almost to deatn.
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 Mc-
Cormick started on a search for tho
man who had wielded tho poker. They
were succeeding in thoir effort to quiet
tho 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
j of the mob of foreigners, he yelled at
| them to charge the three troopers. The
lines of the foreigners came together
! with some system and a disastrous
charge seemed imminent.
