It's n Boy!

The senior ''wen of the INDEX is now
a proud and happy papa. Last Friday
morning the young visitor graced our
household and is. we comics, as go cd
looking as its paternal dad. The young
fellow balances the beam at 10 pounds
standard weight, and is aphysical mon
ster. We are, indeed, proud of the ad-
dition to our family, but don't like the
idea of being bounced for a treat by
ever sser-by. lest we Ego broke" We
shall have to ask our readers TO excuse
us If our paper contains Irregularities
this week, for our labors have been at
tended with more or less excitement as
our experienced brethren will freely at
test. We should not overlook the men,
tioning of the fact that our son is a
thorough populist and believes IN
free speech and free grab, especially
the latter. Yes, it is boy, and feast
to our orbs, every time we behold him,
and seemingly gets prettier everytime
we look at him, which times are not
seldom. The sublime visions of our
midnight dreams are considerably aug.
mented and we awake and find our
fond dreams realization. DR.. Moore
was master of ceremonies and the
mother is getting along finely for which
we are glad. To show our readers the
magnitude of profound joy which now
surrounds the senior pencil pusher of

The first new wheat brought to
Anthony market this year was deliver
ed to Cox & Ragon last Tuesday by
Bert Myers. 1t was raised on the Lap
ham farm just north of this city. The
reasons given are that the wheat was
FIRST damaged by frost. cut too green
and threshed before going through the
sweat. 1t appears that a number of
people have cut their wheat too green
this year, having been deceived by the
white appearance of the heads. We
are glad to say however that Mr.. Meyers
wheat is considerable below what the
average will be in Harper county this
year. Wheat In the vicinity of Goss,
Corwin and other parts of the west
half of the county will grade up to
number two, but very much of the
wheat all over the county will no,
grade up well.-Aathouy Bulletin.

Rainfall,


An important matter is the depth of
soakage or saturation of the soil. Re-
peated observations in the vicinity of
Medicine Lodge on nearly level cult
waited land show the saturation of the
soil to be FIVE times the depth of the
raj fall. TO ascertain approximately
the depth of rain fall measure the depth
of saturation Of the soil after rain fall
and divide the depth by five.
This rule would not hold good on a
steep hill side, ON unbroken sod, or
during violent rain where the run off
is in excess.
You are invited to test this rule, and
report your observation. Take fruit
can unsoder the top neatly and secure
it in open ground feet above the sur
face and measure the depth of rain fall.
We need this information in order to
know the amount of water necessary
to apply in irrigating crops.

This is the way Isenberg of the

IAN editor works S654 days per year to
get out his paper; that's labor. Once
in while somebody pays a months
subscription, that's capital. And on ce
in while some son Of gun Of dead
beat gets paper and refuses to pay
for it; that's anarchy. But later on
justice will over take the last named
creature, for there is place where he
will get his just deserts; that's hell"
