they counted to eleven in a slow, mo*

That over a hundred are walled,

today: \
"I WR- now convinced that there

The majority of them completely

might possibly live another week or
more, especially If they have enough
water to. moisten their lips.

Washington, S-A. 28. ? -Washing

While the total valuation of the
lumber,. Itflh, and" shingle production
reached $54 1,545,640, this amount
represents a ..decrease of 23 per cent
und4r the previous year's output^ The
uumberof mills reporting was 3^,231
and these manufactured 33,224,369,
000 board feet of nrmber. valued at
$510,575,822 and 2.986,684,000 lath
valued at $6,791,328, while the shin
gle makers turned^ out 12.106,483,
000 shingles valued at $24,178,490.
The average v^lue of timber at the

latn and $2.00 a thousand for sliln- 1
gles.
Yellow pine of the South which has
been far -in the lead in the lumber!
production for more than a decade,
more than maintained its supremacy
last year, contributing slightly more
than 33 per cent of the total <rut from

a marked decreased cut. and for the

Louisiana was the heaviest pro

How to Mend Garden Hose.
As the garden hose gets a little old,
and begins to swell, it Boon gets ont
of commission altogether if not at
tended to.
A simple way to mend It is to wrap
the hose with ordinary twine, which
will mako it last a few more seasons.
As It la no eaay matter to wind this
cord by hand and get It even and un
der uniform tension, the writer has for
many years used the simple contriv
ance shown in the accompanying 11*
lustration.

with a lid. Into which la put the ball
of twine. In the center tof the bottom

the hose. The tension device consists
