TIE LOBLOLLY ITEMS CENTRAL PIER PINE Id TED i LIGHT I m rnnrPTn "' PTimn u runts nil a h u . That farmers and other land own ers in Delaware, Maryland, and Vir ginia can put their worn-out or poor ly drained land to profitable use by growing loblolly pine, is the statement made by the department of agriculture in a recent bulletin. For sevedal gen erations, says the department, it will probably be better to grow timber on such areas, at little outlay, than to incur the heavy expense of making them fit for crops. At the same time intensive agriculture can be practiced on the limited areas beet adapted to it. Loblolly pine, the department goes on to say, is easily the leading tree for commercial timber growing on the coastal plain of these three states, because of the ease with which it re produces itself and forms pure, well stocked stands, its rapid growth and the wide range of sites on which it will grow, the many uses to which its wood" is adapted, the comparative i cheapness of logging and milling the j timber, and the good prices which its lumber brings. Washington, D. C.? March 3 Pre liminary figures of the forthcoming quinquennial report on the central electric light and power stations of the State of Texas have been given out by Director W. J. Harris of the bureau of the census, department of commerce. They were compared un der the supervision of W. M. Steuart, chief statistician for manufactures. The statistics relate to the years ending December 31 for 1912 and 1907, and June SO for 1902, and cover both commercial and municipal electric plants. They do not include electric plants operated by mining companies, factories, hotels, etc.. which consume the current generated, those operated by the Federal Government and State institutions, or plants tha were idle or in course of construction. The figures as presented for Texas show general gains for the decade 1P02-1912. The number of commercial establishments increased from 130 in 1002 to 2?.? in 1912, or SI per cent. The total income in 1912 amounted to The Quickest, Simplest Cough Remedy Itasflf- and Cheaply Made at Home.

The range of uses for loblolly is wide, and it is sold throughout the eastern and central states and export ed to Europe and Central America. In building construction it is used for interior finish, flooring, ceiling, sash es, wainscoting, weather boarding, j joists, lath and shingles. It also finds wide use for boxes, slack barrels, cheap furniture, woodenware and ! toys. In addition, it is used in bridge : and tresle work and for freight cars. of 161 jer ceut. The total horsepower ; developed by the steam and gas en gines (including auxiliary engines) was 123,113 in 1912 as compared with 337S3 in 1902, or an increase of 264 per cent. The output of stations amounted to 1'00, 547,3 19 kilowatt hours in 1912 as compared with 48,888,540 in 1902, or an increase of 310 per cent. The estimated number of arc lamps wired for service was 7,617 in 1912 as compared with 5,146 in 1902, or an in crease of 48 per cent.

Simple as it is, it gives almost in- j stant relief and usually conquers an ordinary cough in 24 hours. This is fiartly due to the fact that it is slightly axative, stimulates the appetite and has an excellent tonic effect. It is ! pleasant to take children like it. An j excellent remedy, too, lor whooping" cough, spasmodic croup and bronchial asthma. Mix one pint of granulated sugar with .pint of warm water, and stir for 2 minutes. Put 2 ounces of Pinex (fifty cents' worth) in a pint bottle, and add the Susrar Svrun. It keens perfectly. Take a teaspoonful every one, two or ! three hours. j Pine is one of the oldest and best ! known remedial agents for the throat membranes. Pinex is a most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and cither natural Tipaliner elements. Other preparations will not work in this combination. The prompt results from this mixture have endeared it- to thousands of house wives in the United States and Canada, which explains why the plan lias been imitated often, but never successfully. A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or money promptly refunded, goes with this preparation. Your druggist has Pinex. or will get it for you. If not send to The Pinex Co.. Ft.

Memphis, Tenn., March 3. Of 700 revenue licence held in Memphis, 576 were surrendered to County At torney General Henesten when a "nuisance" act passed at the last ses sion of the legislature became opera tive, ending the day of the open sa loon in Tennessee. A number of the ealoons, transformed into "soft drink" establishments, re-opened today to serve non-alcoholic and other bever ages coming within the requirement of the state prohibition laws of less than 2 per cent alcohol. Government licenses still in force, It is stated, are held by wholesale dealers who will be permitted to con tinue shipments outside the state, and drug stores and river steamers. Without exception, according to police reports, the saloons closed their doors for the last time prompt ly at midnight last night. Up to a late hour last night no complaint had been made of violation of the prohi bition law. Under state laws now in force the possession of a federal license is considered prima facie evidence that the- holder is selling liquor. SHOEMAKER REMEMBERED STEVENSON IN WILL Monterey, Calif.,' March 3. When Robert Louis Stevenson visited this old Spanish town many years ago he was hard up and his shoes were mend ed and remended by George Berthold, the village cobbler. The two became chums. As Stevenson became famous Ber-I thold prospered somewhat financially, blossoming into a shoe store proprie tor, lie leit in his will a provision for a monument to the man who was his friend. The remainder of his es tate was left to his two clerks. The courts somehow expunged from the will the provision for the monu ment but the clerks who received the entire estate today announced that they would contribute , at least as much as Berthold set aside and the monument will be built in a little park.
