Farmers Use Printed Stationery.

From tfle Prattville Progress.
 As the years go by it is pleasing to note that more farmers write letters on printed letter heads and have their cards on their envelopes. It was once thought that no one could do this unless he was engaged in the production of some spec ialty or breeding some pure blood farm stock. No one believes that now. Let the farm be named, and then give that, with the name of the owner and his postoffice address, and the business Is done. The cost of printing is trifiing in comparison with its benefits.

Days lN Amerlcan History
MAURICE M. HINTON.

scription dinners would be well attended and carefully chosen speakers would in- crease not only the love of country. but love for our country's history.
 New England has furnished nearly aIf our historians. and with New England conservatism they have not very liber- ally scattered the honors beyond New England men. Schuyler of New York is made to cut a sorry figure by Bancroft, and praise is stintedly dealt to the heroes of Georgia and the Carolinas
 : What Concord proved to Howes men under Pitcairn, Cowpens proved to Corn wallis's men under Tarleton. lMassachu- setts can with pride point out the road from Charlestown, through Somerville, to Arlington, Lexington and Concord-a distance of fourteen miles and declare it was the first blow leading to the evacual tion of Boston, But the Caroiinas can trace trail of blood and line of smok- ing ruins, of shelterless families, of mur- dered patriots of over three hundred miles to Cowpens. Nay, in pride the Georgians and Carolinians may say that the the resistance at. Cowpens directly contributed to the surrender of Cornwallis and the capture of Yorktown. And New York may we'll point to Saratoga, to the mq2umental battle-ground and to the place where Burgoyne gave up his sword. New Jersey to- Trenton and Monmouth. and Pennsylvania to Valley Forge.
 Our national history needs reviving and patriotic societies In the different States would do well to take a lesson from Mas sachusetts and celebrate national days. If not. one hundred years hence the small boy will be taught that America was set tied by the company of the Mayfower who landed on Plymouth Rock, and that King George lost his American posses sions through the resistance of Massa- chusetts farmers under George Washing ton and an able statesman, by the name of John Adams

THE YELLOW PERIL.

The agitation for an extension OF the
Chinese exclusion act suggests the
question whether a Japanese exclusion
act is not as much needed as one bar
ring Chinese from entering our shores,
Census figures show that since 1850
the number OF Chinese residents In this
country has diminished from 10000, ten
years ago, to less than 10000 now. The
japanese, however, are rapidly increas-
ing. According to the census for 1880,
there were about 2,039 Japs in the
United States, while the recent census
gives their number as 2i.3O0, and these
figures do not include the Chinese and
Japanese In our Pacific islands. In 1896
there were more Japanese In the Ha.
waiian islands than are now reported
for the United States.
II is a well known fact that Japan
csc are not looked upon with favor in
localities where they congregate IN con-
siderable numbers. Socially they are
ostraclzed. But they secure employ
ment because satisfied with small
wages, and sometimes trouble arises on
account of their competition with white
labor.
II there is a yellow peril now, It
comes from Japan. rather than from
China. But japanese exclusion act Is
different from Chinese one Japan Is
In position to retaliate in one way or
another, while China is not.

guage is excluded from the schools the

From the LIST of July this year, an
other decree also became effective.
This has reference to the legal tender
OF the German part Of the Samoa
group. AS such Is now considered the
German coin. from the 2O-mark piece
to the l-pfennlg coin. also the English
pound and shilling, and the American
gold coins, from the Eagle TO the 2la-
dollar piece-all these at a value set
on them by the governor, who reserves
the right to change this value, as he
may think ct, the decree Is one OF
Importance 20 the business world.

bors Of the Elders in Samoa are APP

A correspondent OF the Boston Tran
script writes that paper that the high
summer temperatures recorded in his
tory show that they are nothing new.
In 627 the heat was so intense In France
and Germany that all the springs dried
up; water was so scarce that people
died OF thirst. In $40 work in the fields
had TO be given up In se3 the suns
rays were so fierce that vegetation
burned as under the action of fire. III
1000 rivers ran dry under the protracted
heat Of the sun. The fish were left
dry in heaps and putreied in a few
hours. The stencil that ensuei pro
duced the plague. Men and animals
venturng In the sun In the summer OF
1922. fell down dying. their throats
parched to cinder. and their blood
rushed to their brains. In 1892, not only
did the rivers dry up, but the ground
cracked on every side, and becaine
baked 10 the hardness Of stone. The
Rhine in Alsace nearly dried up No
doubt that was all very bad but not so
bad as the heat the world is now hay-
ing, for all that historic excessive heat
is past and this is present.

OMAHA BULL FIGHT.
New York Tribune.

Bull-nghting In Omaha has suddenly
become an exceedingly popular and
profitable diversion by reason Of the
circumstance, that on one night one Of
the bulls unexpectedly caught one OF
the performers on his horns and sent
him forty feet through the air. and ultI-
mately TO the hospital. where he now
lies with two broken ribs, a lacerated
chest, and an ugly temper. 1t was
understood IN advance that there was
to be no blood-lettlng at these gentle
and refined entertainments. The bulls
we're merely TO caper about In a pic
turesque manner and the men were to
show only with what grace and facility
they could eXterminate their adver-
saries, except for a managers promise
not TO ruille the susceptlbiltes Of an
unenlightened public. But the bull that
was doing his t.rn on that night either
did not know that rule" or else broke
faith The result was to convert tame
and tedious show into a highly exhll-
arating spectacle, crowd the arena at
the next performance with seven thou
sand persons and produce great joy in
a disconsolate box-oflice.

HOW TO KEEP COOL.

The hot wave In the east has set peo-
pie to thinking. and one OF the results
OF this is the suggestion that It should
be as easy to keep dwelling houses cool
In the summer, as to keep them COM
fortably warm In the winter Mr.. Bell,
OF telephone fame, points out remedy
against overheated dwellings 80 natur-
al and simple that II is a wonder II
has not been thought Of and practiced
on an extensive scale, long ago. Fur
naces," he says, are placed in the
Easements OF homes so that the rising
hot air viii drive out the cold and heat
the house. Why should not refriger-
ating plant be installed in the attic so
that the descending cold air would
drive out the heat and cool the house?
BY closing the doors and windows Of
the lower floors aud opening those OF
the upper floors to permit the hot air
to escape, a long stride In the direction
Of relief would be taken"
The professors own house. Il seems.
Is artihcially cooled and made COM
Portable no matter what the heat is
outside, and he thinks science will soon
make It possible to cool, in the same
way, the most uncomfortable tene-
ment house. He argues
ut should be possible for man to
cool or dry the Internal temperature Of
his home to any extent. The problem
Is similar 70 cooling a glass OF hot
water IL we introduce at the top Of
the glass current OF cold water, and
there Is no avenue OF escape at the bot.

tlan A. Madsen. the well known pracul
cal agricultural OF Gunnlson' Utah a
letter containing Ideas GA this subject
which We deem worthy Of public cor.
sideration. He suggests the application
OF electric power to wells sunk deep
enough 10 roach the subtcrraneuus wa
tiers The electric plants to be
worked By the mountain streams which
are now used for rlgating purposes
The water thus utilized FOR the gener'
alton of electricity 20 be turned back
into its proper channels. Thus, the
water thar sinks from the heights
above, through orevlces and fssures
and porous seams forming the under
g-ound currents which are known to
exist beneath our valleys, could be
brought to the surface by the force
generated through the use Of the wa
tiers that come down in the creeks ana
rivers. which would not be diminished
to any appreciate extent, and mus
water could be made to produce water
and much land now parched and worth
less could be brought into successful
cultivation.
The naturalization OF this idea would
be seen not only in the farms and gar
dens which could be made. but In ham
lets and villages and towns that would
spring up in various parts of the state
which are now empty and desolate.
The suggestion Is valuable, and we
give ii publicity for the consideration
of practical men throughout the State
Money would have to be expended for
the necessary machinery wherever the |
plan might be tried, but this could be |
raised by cooperative efforts, and the |
work OF sinking the necessary wells
and making the rrigatlng bitches could
be performed also on the cooperative
principle. by which all our canals and
bitches for lrrlgating purposes were
constructed.
The value for such purposes as these
Of electric energy is, that it can be
to considerable distances
and be used not only for the force nee
essary to bring up the underflow Of
water TO the surface, but for other
motive powers, for lighting purposes,

hibit its practical uses for the benefit
Df mankind, and IL one OF them shall

A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.

The scarcity OF water for Irrigation
purposes In this region, Is one OF the
greatest obstacles to the building up Of
the State and the development OF it,
numerous and wonderful resources
There are thousands OF acres OF good
land capable Of cultivation, II wafer
could be obtained In sufficient quaint
ties TO make crops secure, Even TIT
alkali tracts could be redeemed by
manure and irrigation, and the whole
face OF the land could be made fertile
and beautiful Artesian wells have been
sunk In a few locations and the results
are very promising. windmils have
been used with limited success to brins
subterranean waters 60 the surface. Il
has been suggested that " sufficient
power could be put In operation, the
waters that flow from the melted snow
IN the heights and that penetrate dowi
deep under ground might be utilized
by the employment Of pumpin" plants
and reservoirs 10 store the waters foi
