whistles all the day long. The tinkling
bells, beating lambs and barking dogs;
the cuckoo's call, aud coyose's lonely
howl upon the moonit hills, are daily
and nightly rom ances.
The country is sparselv settled, the
lands have been collected from small in.
to large holdings. Not less than 1000
sheep are run in band, requiring 1000
acres of winter and spring range. The
cost of running is one dollar per bead
year, which is distributed among those
employed 10 caring for them, 80 this
land pays indirectly one dollar per acre
annually TO lsboring Glasses. 1t must
be borne in mind that this land is
worthless for any but grazing purposes.
A thrashipR machine is never seen run
Mug in Lena precinct. and perhaps never
will. All available land is titled to hay
for the support of stock, besides great
quantities of grain are hauled in and fed.
It is safe to predict that these hills
will meyer be reclaimed and given to di-
versi6ed farming. No Dutchmsn will
ever raise Q large family upon or
acres Of cabb ,Qe on these hills. 1t would
be as rational to talk about irrIgating
the moon.
But the sheep, chamois like, revel in q
climb, treating with Contempt their dizzy
sleeps, while every channel OF commerce
feels the tread OF the golden hoof.
So this land viii. be occupied only by
pastoral people. Yet it is thought by
some that We are nearing q state of
transition, and these large focks and
land holdings will be subdivided into
small ones sgain, which may be true. II
this occurs, it will be from a scarcity of
summer range in the mountains, and
will not materially affect the fockms msster
individually, but should be viewed ss
more of public loss. Flocks will be
reduced until these pastures will support
them all the year. They will then be
run inside Of tight enclosures, so the
herder will be relegated to the past, and
with him will go most all outside labor.
With these changed conditions the
profits OF the hockmaster will be almost
ss large on one-balf the number OF
sheep. The public may readily discern
that it is their interest or part that is
threatened, therefore should unite with
us in a favorable solution of this vexed
problem of the passing of the summer
range.
1t is safe to say that no industry pays
the laborinQ classes so we'll, or affords
the opportunities, and as result hun

the East and from beyond the sea, and

our ways. rough ss they first appear,

zenship.
believe that life under certain envi-
ronments is calculated to mentally and
spiritually elevate and broaden the
dwellers therein. Who shall say that
the daily contemplation OF his broad
acres and large hOcks, which owe their
productivensss to Ills energy and toll
does not give him breadth of view snC
purpose, or the perpetual vision OF the
majestic hills does not create and foster
noble aspirations. AT least it is coinci-

Among the patents granted recent

Among the patents granted recently is one for a mechanical f1sh-ba1t, which is calculated to deceive the most wary members of the fnny tribe. 1t is well known that the game fish is most discriminating creature in the matter of his food, and many of them will not deign to give a second glance to anything in the way of food which is not alive and kicking, as it were. 1t is not always possible or convenient for a fisherman to keep his lines sup piled with live bait, and the invention referred to has for it's object the pro- viding of mechanical fish for bait purposes of a very realistic character, which will have all the fin and tail movements of live creature. This is done by mounting an electro-ma gnet within the body of the mimic fish and connected by insulated wires. A touch button mounted on the rod at a convenient place and a dry battery carried in the pocket of the fisher nan complete the outfit, and upon pressing the button the fins and tail of the bait fish are given "a decidedly rapid and lifelike movement, which is calculated to tempt the epicurean tastes of the most fastidious fish.

HEARD IN PASSING

A Missouri inventor ds working on burglar alarm that will take the pho- tograph of the burglar, arouse the fam fly and all the police. Perhaps he will yet improve it so that it will To- cate the stolen goods after the burglar has made his escape.-Boston Traveller.
 The United States possesses the greatest number of postofhces, over T8,O0O. Germany follows with 45, 1923, and Great Britain with 22,400. Rus sia has only 62OO postof1ces for a pop ulation of over 1O0,OOO,OOO. Germany has more pillar boxes than any other country, 123,OO9, and Germany comes also first with the number of persons employed in her postof1ces, 2S3, ,176.- Exchange.
 Now look out! It is given out that HObson is going to write the correct history of the United States navy. He proposes to set right the wronged and to remove from their pedestals several of the gods now perched there in ap- parent security. All this IS vague. What the great American people want to know is whether Hobson himself is go1ns to climb up or jump down. Hartford Courant-
 Lord Salisbury is absent-minded to & painful degree, and King Edward tells a story about him which is more or less a joke on his majesty himself. Salisbury was talking with the mon arch, and thoughtlessly picked up a photograph of him which was on the table. He examined it thoughtfully, and then said: "Poor old duffer; wonder if he is as stupid as he looks. ; New Haven Union.
 East bottoms gardeners are all hard at work again. They lost their grow ing crops, but found that the silt brought down by the flood has en- riched their ground beyond anything they could have put on 1t. From the Baum gardens man yesterday brought to town a stalk of asparagus which measures 3 feet inches from base to tip. It had grown since the flood receded.-Kansas City Journal.
 The Old Home Week celebrations which are being arranged for all over the state ought to brace up Ridgef1eld. There isn't a single valid reason why we shouldn't have a celebration that would go down in history as big time for the old town. We have every in ducement to offer to our sons and daughters to come home, and we guess they'll be glad to come. Let us all boom Old Home Week and make Bridgeport look infantile.-Ridgef1eld Press.
 The reelection of Parks by his un- ion to his old place, and his continued exercise of the power to order strikes, without, so4far as we are aware, pro voking a protest in any labor quarter, are signs, and not by any means the only signs that the present acute phase of labor disturbance is approaching a continuation. A defiant spirit, arro- gance in demands. and unrea sonable- ness in method and policy are not indi- cations of a prosperous, triumphant cause.-New York Times.

es AMERICAN DIAMONDS.

Tn nearly every country which SUD- plies these stones they are found at a considerable distance from the vein of mineral in which they were once deposited. South Africa affords marked exception to the rule. Tn that part of the world they are embedded in pans or pipes which are streaks of lava, that have invaded a black shaly rock.
 The suspicion is now entertained that the intense heat of volcanic action may have converted some of the car bon in the shale into jewels.
 One of the regions in the United States from which small diamonds have been obtained is the Piedmont plateau, at the southeastern base of the Appalachian chain, between southern Virginia and Georgia. Nearly or quite a dozen, one reaching 23 carats in size. have been picked up there under circumstances that sug- gest the possibility of having been transported-rolled down hill, perhaps many miles from the place of their birth.
 Geological conditions like those exist ing at Kimberley have been observed in Kentucky, but up to date no dia- monds have yet been discovered in that failure is the lower proportion of car bon in the shale.
 A somewhat. difficult problem is raised by finding in size from four to 21 carats, and a number of smaller ones, in the great lake region under circumstances that indicate that they I,4 sheet of the glacial period. Most of the 1 stones were discovered in Wisconsin but Michigan and Ohio have each re- ported one or two also.
 In every instance the jewels were hidden in the gravel of a ''kittle moraine," a kind of deposit which geologists recognize as having been 1 left by a glacier. Since the ice sheet which carried these stones into the United States doubtless travelled hun dreds of miles, possibly thousands it is l hard to locate the center from which they proceeded although this must have been up in British territory some
 However Canadian geologists have lately expressed the opinion that the highest land from which the ice sheet flowed existed west of Hudson bay, but that the source of the ice which invaded the lake region was Labrador east of Hudson bay.
 The fact of greatest practical i'm portance is that other glacial moraines in the United States may possibly con- tain jewels like those already discov- cred in the lake region. There are such deposits in southwestern New York and Long Island, for instance.
 Diamonds in the rough are not ex- actly round, though they may have blunt corners. They tend to assume crystalline shape, and have slightly curved, not fiat sides.

The duties of the board ot media tion and arbitration as revised by the general assembly has been printed in circular form and sent out by Secretary J. NJ. Hubbard of MlddletowD. Sec ton 471O, which relates to the duty of the board in case of strikes says that: ''Whenever a strike or lockout shall occur, or is seriously threatened and 1t shall came to the knowledge of the board it shall proceed as soon as practicable, to the locality of the strike or lockout, put itself in communi- cation with the parties to the contro- versy, and endeavor by mediation to effect a settlement of such strike or lockout. and may inquire into the causes of the controversy, and may subpoena witnesses and send for per sons and papers, Why wouldn't it be a good idea for the trolley strikers to place their case in the boards hands and have it settled for good and for all.
