Farming on the Plains.

Ut fair in Nray, Washington county,
WAS al exhibit Cf eastern Colorado aerI-
cultural products. 1t was q crcdiiabic
display and showed that tie farms of
that Pant # the state are producing good
crops in spite cf the assertion that all Of
the rain belt" region IS Lumt UP.
THIS is the third year Of success in
farming without irrigation on the plains.
The most skeptical must be convinced
from the experiences Of these three years
that the experimental stage is Passed,
and that rain belt farming may be
depended upon.
The farmers in the vicinity Of Wray
are not the only men who have met with
success, for exhibits are made OF pro-
drcts grown near Akron and Yuma.
Both Of these places are centers OF agrl-
cultural districts that have been tested
during the past three years and found TO
be worthy Of the praise that was given
them three years ago by the more con-
servative settlers who have made their
homes there.
The truth seems to be that. EXCEPT
among the sand hills, tie whole OF the
plains lying within screnty-fyc or one
hundred miles west Of the Kansas line
are susceptible Of cultivation without ir-
rigaliOn. Denver Republican.

From the Great Pipcstonc Quarry.

There is E.uch 10 indicate that the In
dians for many generations have highly
priced the pipcs,one for the manufacture
of their pipes. and that it has been OK
tensivcly used by the red man for pipe
sculpture throughout North America.
Chips Of the stone, beads, arrow points,
hatchets and pipes of this material have
been taken from graves, mounds and
wells, even plowed up from fields. in the
various states. from Massachusetts TO
Georgia. The Dakota Indians employ
seventy-fve different patterns in as many
materials. but the calumet is the one
venerated. Mr.. Edwin A. Barber says:
1.-THE fact that this stone has been taken
from Indian graves in the state Of New
York, and that others were found on an
ancient site of a village in Georgia, at
opposite points, 1900 miles from the
pIpestonc quarry in Minnesota, reveals
the great extent Of interconmunication
which formerly existed among this North
American people There is certainly
strong presgmptive evidence that the
stone Of the Coteau DIES Prairies has been
used for centuries, and perhaps a much
longer time. - Helen Strong Thompson

In motherhood alone does the Chinese

What Constitutes u Blonde:

Few people understand what consti-
tutes a blonde. Every lady with light
hair is not n blonde. The word we get
from the French. The advcrb blonde,
on the authority Of Clark, the eminent
philologist, is defined rs meaning fair,
light or haxen. referring to any object,
whereas Simmords describes Il blonde az
being q woman Of fair complexion.
These definitions are given in Worces;crs
dictionary. If you will give the matter
q moments thought. YOU will recall how
many ladies lave light hair and dark
compilations. | venture to say that in
