Miss Fannie Briscoe, of Abeline Tex,
She is a teacher in the public school there.
McMichael, anoth err new conner, has
rented land from VIM. Capps and will be-
gin farming at once. He is from Floyd,
Texas.
Mcknight, of Floyd Texas, is here hunt
ing a home. He brought with him 7 Jer-
sey COWS, SO bard rock chickens and sew
eral horses.
John Eslinger is fixing to move back to
Tucumcari and will work in the wool
securing plant where he was employed
last summer.
In one orchard here the cherry trees had
a reasonably fair first year yield, and other
trees were in bloom when the hail storm
struck them.
Pink Randall believes in the diversified
ton of crops. He is planting bloody
butcher corn, millet, Kafir corn, milo
maize and beans,
Adamson, who is putting up a store at
Ogal Flat, had 81, 900 in a San Francisco
bank when the earthquake came, and so
far has not heard from it.
Rev. Tefreys, of Moore, made an inter-
esting talk to the people in his Sunday
sermon. There we're many people in at
tendance from Ogal Flat and Moore.
James Wise is an up to date farmer, he
has IS acres of Katir corn up and looking
fine. He also has 80 acres of beans and
milo maize and so acres in June corn, and
is breaking out IS acres of sod for sorghum
Some Of the farmers resent the idea of
the Tucu mcari merchants ordering Kan
sas seed instead of buying the home pro-
duct from local producers, and now as a
retaliatory measure are sending away for
goods that they could buy at home. This
should not be; the money should be kept
at home to develop the Sunshine Terri
tory.

THE FIRST COMPASS

Some Asian people, perhaps TIN Chi

peculiar quality. We call this ore

guage, lodestone, and It is very widely
distributed, especially in the older
crystalline rocks IL was found that

ton. phenomenon of magnetism had
been discovered by means of an ore
that Is peculiarly susceptible to mag
netic influence.
IL Is an open question whether the
Chinese utilized the directive power OF
the lodestone, but II is certain that the
first rude compass was not used on
European vessels before the twelfth
century of our era. by that time the
true magnetic compass had been
evolved through the discovery that If
an iron or steel needle were stroked
on lodestone 1t would receive the at
tractive and directive power of this
ore. With this wonderful appliance
placed at the service of navigation, the
vessels that had Rugged the coasts soon
dared to venture even out of sight of
land. A new impetus was gradually
given to cartography, for now the true
directions of the coast lines might be
charted with some approach to accu.
racy. 1t was the hapy fortune OF Ital'
ian sailors to make the surprisingly ex.
cellent surveys of the directions and
lengths of the Black sea and Mediter-
ranean coasts and along the Atlantic

Hawaii channel. between the Islands
IF Hawaii and Maui, few days ago.
The searchlight on the vessel evident

large school of the fish suddenly rose
out o. phe water and instead OF flying
away from the boat, as is usually the
case with that variety of fish, they
flew over the bow of the craft One

IF commission A dozen fish reached
the upper bridge of the vessel and
two struck the side of the man on
watch, nearly knocking him over
1t has been noted by island captains
that the searchlights seem to affect
the flying fish in a very strange way.
The fish evidently do not like the
bright light cast upon the waters, for
they invariably fly at the light, prob
ably in an effort to extinguish 1t, after
the fashion of moths trying to extin'
yuish a candle.

INDIANS DROP OLD CUSTOM

Risky.

Arkansas City, Kan.-The Otoe In
dams lately returned to their reserva.

the Kaws near Kaw City. These visits
usually occupy a longer time and the
entire programme Is taken up with
dancing, feasting, smoking and the
giving of gifts by the entertaining
tribe. The visit just ended broke up o

count of a streak of inhospitality
when developed in the Kaws.
A number of the Kaws reached the
conclusion that this custom of giving
away everything they had and taking
the risk of the other tribe returning
the treatment at some later date was
too much of risk. they hesitated in
this instance in warming up to their
guests in the matter of giving them a
large number of ponies and other In
dian NGluables.

Glass That Keeps Out Heat.

An Austrian inventor, Richard Szis-
mondy, is reported to have made a new
kind Of window glass whose chief Pc
culiarity is that 1t prevents the pass
age OF nine-tenths of the heat Of the
suns rays.
II IA well known that ordinary win
dow glass allows nearly all of the heat
derived from the sun to pass through,
but, on the other hand, intercepts all
heat coming from non-lumlnous
sources, such as a stove or the heated
ground This is the reason why heat
accumulates under the glass roof Of

In favor of the new glass is that a

"Of course, when 30 to work again,

event had occurred in the pit of the

among those people down there?" he
asked, closing his book on the finger.
They are in constant nervous state.
They worry when they are behind, and
are anxious for more when they are
ahead. They should go on strike and
taste the delight of doing nothing, of
being AT peace with ten dollars week
