Salt Lake City, Utah Seedsmen and Nurserymen IS BUILDERS TO USE TREENAILS How Framework of Ships Under Con struction for Uncle Sam Will Be Held Together. The framework of the wooden ships which are now being built for the United States Emergency corporation will not be held by even a single metal nail. They will be pinned together with treenails cut from the trunks of live oak or yellow locust trees. There are two or three causes for the use of wooden nails. One Is the great need of Iron and steel in other lines of war activity where wood could not be used, and another is that the wooden pin is lighter than a metal one and less expensive. Each ship's hull will require 300,000 of the treenails, and they will be fastened in place by splitting each end and driving in a white oak wedge. Each ship will require 600.000 wedges. It is said that the wooden pins are more quickly put In place than are metal ones. Treenails are 24 inches long, an Inch and a quarter In diameter and perfectly round. They are used to fusten the planks to the boat frames. Soon after a vessel is launched the pins swell to a snug fit in the frame work. Timber for the ships comes fronr the sawmills in 60-foot slabs 14 inchet through, and is then worked into the different sizes for the framework and siding. is of an lu One Way to Get Around !L Doris ran errands for a neighbor and was always rewarded with pen nies.

WANTED IS NO LONGER "FOOL'S GOLD Pyrites, Source of Sulphuric Acid, Has Been in Great Demand Sino« Outbreak of War. Years and years ago, even before the Interstate commerce commission, the Stars and Stripes or Uncle Joe Cannon were born, the early arrivals of a southern colony dropped their hoes and went to mining for gold. "Why raise food when the mountains were full of gold?" they asked as they loaded a ship with the shining ore. Alas! the metallurgists of England said It was not gold, wealth were dissipated. Worse yet. The summer was over; the harvest was past, and they had laid up no food for winter. In bitterness of spir it the shining ore was culled "fool's gold," and succeeding generations left it undisturbed in the Southern hills. Some centuries later the breath oi Mars blew over the land. America was called for its every resource. Steel, copper, ammunition and food stuffs were required in enormous quanities. Their production depend upon the supply of sulphuric acid in hitherto undreamed of quantities. The ores from which It Is extracted are imported from Spain, and there are no ships to spare. "What can I do?" asked a South ern man as he walked into Secretary Lane's office. "Find the pyrites in the Southern hills," was the reply. "Done," was the reply, and he found an to the Visions of them. In a few weeks the five mines al ready opened will produce 1.000 tons day, and save the continuous em ployment of 15 vessels, while the sup p iy of sulphuric acid is assured.
