Employing Men at Factory. J. B. Collier who has charge of the Ball Bros., bottle plant in this city received word a few days ago to employ some men and put them to work at the factory. Eight men went to work there Wednesday morning. When asked whether the factory would start to manufacture wares, he said he had no further orders to give out except to employ men.

The people of Greenfield would like to see the factory open up for business.

FOREST NOTES

There are 36,500,000 young trees in the government's forest nurseries.

Two tons of cascara bark ha,ve just been sold from the Siuslaw national forest, Oregon, at one cent a pound.

The northernmost national forest is the Chugach in Alaska the southernmost is the Luquillo in Porto Rico.

For shingles alone, 750 million feet of timber is cut in that part of the state of Washington which lies west of the Cascades.

California led last year in timber sold from national forests, though Montana had the largest number of sale transactions.

The American Forestry association has just elected Henry S. Drinker, president of Lehigh university, and P. S. Ridsdale, as its president and secretary respectively.

The bureau of entomology and the forest service, working together for the control of forest insects, last year covered more than 160,000 acres in their operations.

The biological survey and the forest service have been' co-operating in the extermination of ground squirrels on national forests in California. The annual loss of range feed and grain crops from ground squirrels is enormous.

I SORROWS OF THE SEASON I

By GRACE SPARROW.

"O, thank you,", said the girl who likes to talk. "No chocolates for me! If you have any lemOn juice handy, however, I'd be obliged!" "What's the idea, now?" everybody demanded. "I've been down to the spring opening," explained the girl who likes to talk. "And everything is designed for fragile ghosts and attenuated bean poles. A perfect lady this season will be able to take shelter behind a lath in case of storm. The rest of femininity is cast Into outer darkness so far as clothes are concerned. Whatever is to become of any one who weighs more than ninety-eight pounds, I can't imagine! There is absolutely nothing for the poor creatures to put on. Having drawn down the blinds and retired to inner chambers, they will probably pass a hideous and secluded life until some millionaire endows a foundation that shall design clothes such as may be worn by real human beings. "The first garment that met my eye looked like an explosion in a ruffle factory. Starting at the middle, it was a vigorous young ruffle that began winding around snakily. in a diagonal manner. It continued until it hit the ground, still traveling diagonally. One side was up and the other down, but nobody's skirt hangs straight these days, so that apparent difficulty didn't count. "A little cousin to that ruffle started from the middle and ran diagonally upward, wreathing around the shoulders and sleeves and flopping in all directions. This dress just splashed

ruffles. The saleswoman said it was the latest thing. I looked her square in the eye and asked her if she could conjure up a vision of me in it. No one would ever think that I weighed less than the 160 that I do. I don't think that the saleswoman had been long in this wicked, soulless city, for her eyes faltered and she turned pale. She said that she had some other modes she would like to show me, that of course every one could not wear the extremes. "Just then I paused, horror stricken, in my tracks. Before a mirror pivoted a strange sight. It was composed of pale blue taffeta all bunched up around the hips like a washerwoman's skirt. There was a million yards in that bunch. Streaming over it were garlands of little roses and. fluffs of tulle and above it a sea of tulle and puffs and roses and rosebud silk with more blue. It looked somewhat like a broad expanse of sunset sky and then I saw that there was a woman inside ft. She had a red face and double rolls on her neck and she was exactly four feet broad. Before her a hardened young slip of a salesgirl, without the hint of a blush, was cooing that it was so chic and became her marvelously. "I fled from that pool of Iniquity. I felt that nothing less than flight could save me from alike horrible fate! "I wish," said the girl Who likes to talk, in a voice positively shaken with emotion, "I wiBh that you could have seen me in the dreSs they put on me in the next place! Gathered around the waist were exactly fifteen yards of green taffeta, which on my heroic form looked like thirty yards cut generously. Bulging over each hip was what they called a pannier. "They acted really annoyed when I Inquired just how I was going to get from one room to another. "They showed me a hat that reminded me of the old cellar door on the farm. It tilted up in the back at sixty degrees and dipped down in front till it hit. my nose. Perched precariously on it, hit or miss, were tight little bunches of undiscovered flowers. Why, all the little dicky birds would have whooped at the sight of that hat if I had worn it out, and gone toboganning down the slide. Somehow with it on, I reminded myself of a woman whV

OLIVE OIL IMPORTATIONS INTO THE UNITED STATES

Washington, D. C., May 22, 1914.— Imports of edible olive oil into the' United States during the first six months under the tariff aggregated* 3 million gallons valued at 4 million dollars, or equal to the value of any year's imports down to and including 1908. During the decade-1904-1913. the aggregate importsand Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce, amounted to 39' million gallons, valued at 42 million dollars, an annual average only slightly in excess of the recordmade by the last six months. Thesefigures are exclusie of olive oil fitonly for manufacturing or mechani cal purposes, denatured by the addition of nifrobenzine or oil of rosemary. Of this oil, obtained chiefly from Italy and Greece, the imports range from 1 million to nearly 2* million gallons annually.

The high food value of olive is a. subject to which attention has frequently been directed in consularreports and in bulletins of the Department of Agriculture, and thecultivation of the olive in California has already assumed important proportions. The domestic production of olive oil has not, however, been sufficient to meet the demand in thiscounty, and a large proportion of the consumption is supplied by ther imported article. Italy is the chief source of supply, imports from that, country ranging from 2 1-2 milliongallons in 1909 to 3 1-2 million in 1913. Of French olive oil the imports have ruled slightly under 1 million gallons annually, last year'stotal having been 933,000 gallons,, compared with 350.000 gallons fromSpain. 227.000 from Greece, and 125,000 gallons from about 16 other, countries, including Turkey, England, Scotland, Canada, Cuba, Au-stria-Hungary. Germany, Netherlands, Portugal and Tripoli.

There is now a wide recognition of cottonseed oil as practically equal to olive oil in food value. As a salad oil it is scarcely distinguishable from olive oil in taste and appearance, is easily assimilable by^ the digestive system, and is much cheaper, selling at wholesale tor about 60 cents a gallon as against over $2 a gallon for olive oil. The United States now produces about 200 million gallons of cottonseed oil per annum, imports 1 1-2 gallons, and exports considerable quan tities to foreign countries. Whilethe exports thereof aggregated nearly 50 million gallons in 19J2r they declined to 35 million gallons in 1913. This was due to the fact that by the new hardening process which American manufacturers are using in the manufacture of lards and cooking fats, a much larger share of cotton oil can be useclE therein hence it can be used to better advantage for home consumption than in the export trade. This comes at a time when there is a decrease in the slaughtering of beef cattle in the United States, which would otherwise have brought about a big shortage in the supply of oleostearin, formerly necessary in the manufacture of lard compounds. ...
