(1) Tell me all the names of the places we get rubber and how it is manufactured. (2) Please tell me where we find wool and oil. Thanking you, L. C. Salt Lake City (I) The best and greatest amount of rubber comes from trees on the banks of the Amaioi r River In Brazil. Great amounts come from other parts of South America, Central America, Africa and Asia, and Mexico. Large plantations of the rubber plants are in successful operation in Northern Mexico, the southwestern part of Texas, and even in Arizona. In the manufacture of rubber it is taken in the crude state and run through a set of rollers over which water is flowing to remove some of the impurities. The strips which result from this prooess are dried and then placed in a mixing machine, where sulphur and occasionally other substances are mixed with it to adapt it to the uses desired. The prepared rubber, then in the form of sheets, is ready for manufacture into the goods for which it is designed. (2) Petroleum is found in all parts of the world, but most of the worlds supply comes from India, East Indies, Rumania, Mexico, around the Caspian Sea in Russia, and in the United States, which leads in production. In the Unitqd States, Oklahoma leads in production, with California, Texas, Illinois, Louisiana and West Virginia following. Wool is produced in the following countries, Australia producing the greatest amount, Argentina next, the United States next, then Belgium, New Zealand, British South Africa, Uraguay. In the United States Montana leads, then Wyoming, New Mexico and Oregon. 1 FRECKI.ES, Springs .lie, Utah.

Personally I never really could make myself believe a woman should be treated as a cow, especially an old cow. I have always believed that if a girl is treated with a certain amount of consideration and not considered merely as a sort of slave, and expected to drudge out her existence in cooking, scrubbing, washing and ironing, that she will respond by seeing that a mans home is kept in order, his mending done and buttons sewed on, and often times will make every effort to cater to his many peculiarities ; and what more could a man want, Mr. Wife Hunter, than this? friend, i Slack Lump, Nut and Shingles, Lumber, Kindling, Roofing and Cement A Square Deal to Every Patron Ro-dol- Dear Miss Brooks : I have been reading your corner for a long time and am very interested in it.
