In California they have to go from 80 to several

In the Rogue River Valley, in most of the cases
you get ample water from 6 to 80 feet deep and you
pay $50 per horse power for the rrigating

GOLF YARN BY LoNGWoRTH
And Kansas Story in Return by an
Enthusiast at the
Game.

Nicholas Lonsworth, Of Ohio, is a
golf enthusiast who plays good game,
Snd Victor Murdoch, OF Kansas, golf
enthusiast who plays very indiTer-
ent game, when swapping stories in
the house cloakroom the other day,
says the Washington correspondent of
the Kansas City Times.
THE most remarkable golfer ever
knew, - said Representative LOugworth,
was a man out In Cincinnati, who had
a passion for the game, but who COM
plicated that feryor with an appetite
for Scotch hishballs that was the won
der of Ohio.
His theory was that there should
be a drink server on every tee, and
he worked 1t by means of an army OF
caddies. One afternoon he came in
and announced that he had renowned

ball | can't hit it; and whenever /
can hit 1t can't see IT,"
Mr.. Murdoch told this one:
out in my town Judge Dale, of the
district bench, is about the best golfer
In our club. One day he had case
on trial In which several small boys
had been subpoenaed as witnesses. Ad-
dressing a bright youth of about IL

SPORTS OF CHILDREN.


Skipping rope is childish pastime
Of ancient origin In place of a rope,
a vine stripped of leaves was original
ly used.
The childish amusement Of riding a
cane is of great antiquity. 1t was
practiced by the children OF Greece
and ancient Rome.
The game of hide and seek is an
other youthful pastime of ancient
origin. It came from Europe about
the beginning Of the seventeenth cen
fury.
The spinning of tops, a favorlte
amusement among children in the
spring. also came from the Greeks.
Records show that this kind of fun
was in vogue at the time of Vergil.
Leap-frog is mentioned in the
works Of both Shakespeare and John
son. 1t has been played by children
from early times, and is still a IA
vorite game with boys
The flying kite derived its name
from its originally being made to re-
semble that species of bird called a
kite. The amusement Of kite flying is
about two centuries old in Europe.
Probably it originated in China,
where, so records tell, the practice
Of flying kites is very ancient.

BITS FOR BACHELORS.

Many men think themselves SELF
made who are really marriage'made'
The man who avoids matrlmony on
account Of the cares Of welded lie
rivals the wiseacre who secured HIM
self against corns by having his legs
amputated.
Don't marry for beauty alone, Soc
rates called beauty "a short-llyed tyr
amy" and Theophrastus pronounced
It "a silent cheat" The man who
marries for beauty alone is as silly
as the man who would buy a house be-
cause 1t had fine flowers In the front
garden.
1t is in life as It is with kite; 1t
will not fly very high until 1t has
string tying 1t down. And so the man
who is tied down by half dozen re-
sponsibilities and their mother will
make higher and stronger fight than
the bachelor who, having nothing to
keep him steady, is always nounderins
IN the mud.

has been the general impression that
the sour apple had no sugar in 1t,
the tart apple a little and the sweet
apple much sugar in it. Recent in

not matter Of percentage OF sugar

BUILDING FOOD



When little human machine Tor a

important as the selection of food to
bring it around again.
my little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says a Col
orado mother.
I decided change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
When | reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although |
had never used the food, we got some
and for few days gave him Just the
juice Of Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger SO quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
In a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, | raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph I send you what strong

CONCERNING CLOCKS.

Never allow the clock to run down.
1t responds to regular attention inst
as surely as a human being does and
keeps Its course truly when made TO
follow its endless routine.
The hands of clock should ALWAYS
be turned forward To set the hands
by reversing the right-hand motion ia
to loosen delicate screws that hold
them within reach of various cog
slips
Never allow the clock to be moyed
from the position where 1t is we'll hal
anced. A deviation of two or three
minutes day from the correct time
may be the result of an uneven
placing of the clock, and once it ia
properly adjusted it should not be
shifted for busting or for artistic pur-
poses. This is especially true of
clocks that have a pedulum.
