toijIS?fcljLR^ i I OR GUNS AND AIRPLPANES ' The Department of Agriculture has undertaken to assist the War Department in obtaining the large quantities of walnut timber needed for gunstoc't and airplane propeller material. 'J he demand is far beyond what can be supplied through the usual channels of trade. Appeal is being made to all owners who can be reached to -ssist in getting every available v/ulnut tree to market. This is urged I o<h as patriotic duty and as good business, owing to the high prices now being paid for walnut. Because of its resistance to warping and splitting, walnut is the best for the essential parts of our warmaking equipment. Experts of the Forest Service are in the field locatnvailnhlp qnnnlino ui ^ ? ? UM|/|/>??O. wvncmivi lUK' quantities of walnut have been reported by the county amenta, and the Boy Scouts, at the request of President Wilson, are making a canvass of walnut owners. Where to Sell The firms having contracts with jg" the Government to furnish black waljiftj nut for gunstocks and airplane propellers nnd subcontractors of those concerns afford the best marketf. These buy logs in lots of a carload or more, standing walnut of merchantable amount, and lumber of spec fied kinds. A list of these firms may be had by applying to the Forest Service, Washington, D. C. No direct purchases of walnut timber are made by the Government; it is merely using its machinery to locate the timber and stimulate the placing of it on the market by bringing the manufacturers and timber owners together. Actuated by patriotism, some farmers have sold walnut at low prices to persons representing themselves as purchasers for the Government, who have then resold to the manufncturers at a large profit for themselves. Buyers should be required to show their credentials before a sale is made. 11 advised of the name and address of persons making false claims and threatening to force people to sell their walnut, the Government is in a position to investigate the cases and take action. , A carload of walnut logs usually contains from 3.UU0 to 5,000 board feet, log scale. In the central Mississippi River basin, carloads are made up usually of from 18 to 25 logs, but farther east where the walnut trees average smaller, from 35 to 50 are loaded on a car. What is Marketable. Logs are wanted 12 inches and ovei in diameter at the small end and 8< 10, 12, etc., feet in length. A few logs 10 inches in diameter and 5 feet in length will be accepted in order to avoid wasting useful parts of the tree. Trees cutting less than a 10-foot log 12 inches in diameter lose much in scaling and should be cut sparingly and only to fill out un order. No cutting shoud be done by owners without having entered into a written contract with one of the firms working on Government orders, or without having a distinct understanding .as to specifications and prices. Basis of Log Prices. rrices lor logs vary widely, being based chiefly on clearness, diameter at the small end, and cost of transportation to the manufacturing plant. Logs sometimes run in three diameter groups, namely, 12, to 18 inches, 19 to 23 inches, and 24 inches and over, and are purchased on the basis of ? these diameter groups. The prices paid at loading points for reasonably cler walnut logs, that will cut airplane propeller and gunstock material, have in a number of cases averaged around $80 to $90 per thousand feet, depending on the average grade of logs. The value on the stump is determined by the value at the loading point minus the cost of logging and a reasonable profit on the operation. Beat Gradea for Airplane Propellera Gunstocks are made from planks or "flitches" sawed from secondgrade logs and the less desirable portions of better logs. Airplane propellers demand the very best grades of clear walnut lumber. Logs 16 inches and up in diameter, at the small end and 10 feet und over in length, suitable for airplane piopeller stock, are especially needed by the firms upon which the Government is dependent for this important war material. RECORD OF THE PAST No Stronger Evidence Can Be Had. Look well to their record. What they have done many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of future results.

If you are nervous or weak, have head aches, backaches, or any of the other ailments so common to women, why not give Cardui a trial? Recommended by many physicians. In use over 40 years.

Figures made public by the Marine Corps, through Secretary Daniels, show that 13,820 recruits under twenty-one since April, 11U7, and that these represent approximately 30 per, cent, of the Marine enlistments in I that period. "The policy of the Marine Corps," said Scretary Daniels, "in admitting boys of eighteen years and over into the ranks is more than justified, officers claim, by the heroic fighting, by the Marines at Chateau-Thierry and IJelleau Wood, the showing they have made in their sector of the Marne line since that time, and the youthfulness of many of the Marines who have been decorated and cited in France. "While it was known that many boys under twenty-one were serving with the sea-soldiers, the statement that they aggregated nearly one-third of the enlistments was a surprise even to Marine officers themselves."
