The story passed all right with the
women for day or two, but as 1t got
around the village and was discussed
pro and con they began to doubt. Or
the five doctors in town four declared
the thing impossible. OF the 1,5OO
inhabitants not more than ten were
satisfied of the truth of the story. The
matter spread until two or three coun-
ties were interested and dozen news
papers were discussing it. and first
and last a good many people had their
say about it, The first idea, of course,
was to test this Jared Burton's memory
about the events of his life. 1t was
great point in his favor that he had
recognized two or three citizens at the
moment of his arrival and that later on
he had met dozens of others and made
no mistake except in one instance. He
had seemed thoroughly familiar with
The house and with certain business
matters, and while he did not write
as free n hand as formerly it passed
for Jared's chirography. He had with
| him the key of his desk; he asked after
certain clothing he had left; he casual
| ly recalled various incidents, and he
had settled down as the long lost re-
turned when he learned that his iden-

manded the fullest and closest investl
cation, and the doubters were ready to
make it,

w,.n to PLANT sugar Beet..

The Michigan station decides that II
is safe and wise to plant beets as early
in the spring as we do any farm crop;
that prolonging the date of planting
gives a longer period for thinning and
in ordinary years should lengthen the
season of ripening and harvesting, ana
finally that the date Of planting seems
TO have but little influence on the per-
centage Of sugar. DIR. Wiley says,

try from the camp to Antelope island is
at its disposal. The boys OF the signal
corps also have as much occasion to
appreciate the camp as any of the
other organizations, as the mountains
afford a valuable adjunct In their sig
nal practice. Another thing which per-
haps appeals TO the boys as much as
anything else is the close proximity Of
numerous watermelon patches.
The boys have been In camp nearly
one week and in that time have begun
to feel measurably like soldiers Moth
ing has been heard that sounded like
a kick and every face wears q look OF

the most part to the happy location OF

that there are altogether too many

AMERICAS WILD RICE CROP.

In early days the extension OF the
fur trade In territory unsurpassed for
richness in pelts was actually made
practicable by the wild rice. which fur
nlshed a wholesome support for trad
ers and hunters, Pike. the explorer, in
1905, described the fort OF the North
west company at Leech lake as stored
with large quantities Of the grain 500
bushels Of which were put away in
loft over the trading room. Employees
OF the company depended on 1t chiefly
for food, buying It from the savages at
the average price Of about $3.50 a
bushel.
