RIDING ON A SURF BOARD.

..Hawaiian Beaches Afford a Sport
That Is Not Known Elsewhere.
At Waikiki, near Honolulu, lis a ia
nous bathing beach. Here winter and
summer the surf canoes, or, better yet
the surf boards, come dancing in on
the long rollers and men become am
phibious.
There is no sensation quite compare
bic to riding surfe board on a Pacific
roller. 1t is tobogganing on a moving
hillside of water, or, if you are clever
enough to stand up on four board, it
is taking this hillside on single big
ski. The beach runs far out before it
shelves into deep water, and the break
ers begin to mount almost half mile,
at high tide, from the shore line. You
go out there with your surf board and
wait for the wave.
You learn to catch it at the right mo-
ment, throw your board inshore, and
climb upon it just as the crest of the
roller mounts and catches you. Then,
on this crest, you sail in toward the
shore, to slide down at last when the
wave breaks, down the foaming incline
into shallow water and churning foam.
1t is royal sport

The A. S. of E. Picnic.

The picnic held at Ellsworth last
Saturday, under the auspices of the
American Society of Equity, was a
hummer. The square DEAL con-
tingent was largely represented
and an enthusiastic meeting was
the result. No people on earth are
any more deserving than the farm
ers, and none more merciless1y
preyed upon than they by the spec
ulators who control the market in
which farm products are sold.
The A. S. of E. seems to have
been founded upon business as well
as "live and let live principles, p"
and will soon put its theories TO a
square test by the inauguration of
a National Exchange, through
which it is proposed to market the
farm products of it's members at re-
munerative prices. This will be a
gigantic concern, with auxiliary or
local exchanges at such points as
may be determined upon by the To-
cal organizations, where guaran-
teed checks will be given in ex-
change for products delivered, at
prices fixed by the national organi-
cation of farmers, and not by grain
and produce gamblers on the board
of trade. 1t is designed to make
the National Exchange to farmers
what the New York Clearing House
is to the banking interests with no
speculative interests involved. This
means better prices for the farmer,
without additional cost TO the con-
sumner, and wiping out the millions
of dollars of illegitimate profits an
nually made by the spectators who
are practically nothing more nor
less than gamblers whose opera
tons are sanctioned by law.
1t looks as though the A. S. of E.
is on the right track, and farmers
who are not familiar with its pur-
poses would do we'll TO investigate
its workings. If the farmers can
do their own business instead of in
trusting it to a gang of unscrupu-
1ous spectators it would be an ex-
cellent plan for them to do so.

Worth Knowing.

The average consumer of baking
powder does not know that reac-
ton occurs in the process of baking.
Whenever a chemical reaction takes
place, the nature Of the original ma
terials is entirely changed, SO that
the substances which remain in the
food to be eaten are very different
from those which composed the bak-
ing powder before baking. For
this reason the statement that bak :
ing powder contains alum or cream
Of tartar IS worth less so far as in
forming the consum er as to what he
eats. What the consumer wants to
know is what goes into his stomach,
not what is in the can. Food pre-
pared with a cream of tartar baking
powder does not contain any cream
Of tartar, just as food prepared with
alum baking powder is free from
alum. Some baking powders leave
large quantities of Rochelle Salts in
the food, which is dangerous drug
and is produced by the chemical
combination of bicarbonata of soda
and cream oftatar; others leave lime,
ammonia, etc.
Calumet Baking Powder has
been for so many years the standard
Of all that is good in baking powder
that its purity needs no defense.
There is just one fact that will bring
this point forcibly to the readers
mind. This state, in common with
nearly every other state in the I'm
ion, now has a very stringent pure
food law which in no uncertain terms
prohibits the manufacture and sale
of any food substances injurious to
health. Calumet Baking powder
complies with the pure food laws
of this and all other states.
Why should the consumer pay
forty-fve or fifty cents per pound
for baking powder, when the best
baking powder in the world can be
made to retail at twenty-five cents
per pound (the price asked far Calu-
met Baking Powder)?
The materials used in the manu-
lecture of Calumet Baking Powder
are SO carefully selected and treated
and correctly proportional and COM
bined that the bread, cake or bis
cults you eat is free from any chem
icals, such as cream of tartar, tartaric
acid, rochelle salts, alum, lime or
ammonia. In buying Calumet Bak-
ing Powder you get powder that
is chemically correct and recon-
mended by leading physicians and
chemists.

Cannot Garry Passengers.

You must not expect the rural
mail carrier to tote you on your
journey, although there is vacant
seat in the buggy beside him. He
is forbidden absolutely to carry
passengers. He could not carry
his wife, or his best girl, while on
the route delivering and gathering
mail. This is a hard and fast rule.
Is this rule too severe, unwarrant-
ed by the conditions? The govern
ment demands that the mail shall
be delivered on time. Nc avoidable
distractions are permitted. The
carrier must not be hampered. If
allowed to carry passengers the
prompt delivery of mail might be
interfered with. The carrier is re-
sponsible for the mail taken from
the postoffice to be delivered to pat
rons and that taken from the boxes
to be delivered to the postofice.
To refuse to carry a passenger pre-
vents his interference with the mail
before it is delivered. The gov
eminent is about right. 1t works
for the advantage of the people.
If individuals can be taught by
correspondence why not clubs, de-
batting societies and organizations

The Uintah Indian Lands.
Subject to Lease.

In the Duchesne Valley, in north
eastern Utah, 100000 acres of land
belonging to the Uintah Indians by
allo tment, are subject to lease.
These lands for the most part are
under irrigation bitches. Some
tracts are improved and some are
not. The improved lands rent for
from $3.50 to $2.75 an acre while I'M
improved lands are leased at $3.50
an acre. The lands may be rented
in tracts up to $40 acres. The term
of lease is from one to five years
and the rentals may be paid in i'm
provements, such as building fences,
barns, houses, etc. 1t is especially
noticeable that no expense what
ever will be incurred in obtaining
water for irrigation. The govern
ment is constructing irrigation
bitches for the Indian lands and
canals are already opened to cover
about 10000 acres. Within an early
period the complete system of canals
will be constructed and all the lands
placed under irrigation. In effect
ing lease water will be free and the
lessee will be only to the expense of
paying the rentals charged for the
use of the lands.
Some of these lands may be pur-
chased, and other tracts will be sub
ject to purchase in time. Where
the allottee is dead the heirs may
sell the allottee's land and when an
Indian is too old to care for his
land he may sell it.
The Duchesne valley is exceeding
ly fertile, and great variety of pro-
ducts may be raised-grains, veget-
ables and fruits. AS high as 800
bushels of potatoes have been
raised to the acre in the valley.
Sugar beets do we'll and alfalfa hay
is an excellent crop. There is a
good market for all crops, Hay. the
last season, was from SIS to $50 a
a ton, oats from $3.50 to $2.75 a
hundred weight. Oats produce from
40 to so bushels-in some instances
100 bushels.
This is most valuable opportu-
nifty to obtain good irrigated farm
at relatively low price.

The Wisconsin assembly elections
committee have prepared bill mod
flying the form of the Australian
ballot of the state. The new bal
lot will differ from the one in pres
ent use in several particulars, the
main feature of difference being the
absence of the circle at the head of
the party designation in the new
ballot. AS the law stands in regard
to voting one may vote the whole
party ticket by marking a cross in
the circle. This removal of the cir
Gle makes it necessary for voter to
mark against the name of every
candidate on the ticket if he wishes
his vote to include all of the offices.
If he neglects to mark against a
name that name is not counted in
canvassing the ballot. The passage
of this bill will be in the interest of
voters.

Showing Time,a CHANCES.

Something happened recently at the
state department that, two years ago,
would have filled the whole world
with column after column of news and
comment under a Washington date
line
There is nothing very startling in
the statement that big red auto
swept up in front Of the state depart
ment building. Big red autos stop
there every day. But out of this auto
stepped first a little slender man with
brown skin, and eyes ever so slightly
slant; then big, military looking
chap, broad of chest and erect. The
little man was Viscount Aoki, ambas-
sador from the Mikado, and his com
panion was Baron Rosen, the Russian
ambassador. Viscount Aoki, usually
spanking team, in carriage with
panels emblazoned with the insignia
of Japan The motor car he rode in
that day is the property OF Baron Ro-
sen. The two diplomats had made APP
pointments with Acting Secretary of
State Adee for the formal filing of
the recent treaty between Japan and
Russia, recognizing the integrity of
China and the plan Of the open door"
Baron Rosen suggested to the Wis.,
count that they go to the department
together. So he stopped at the Jap
anese embassy on his way, picked up
the little man, and whisked him along
to visit Mr.. Adee. They walked up
the steps of the building arm In arm
and chatting vivaciously. Their bust.
ness at the department did not oc-
cupy more than Is minutes, and the
big red QUITO soon whirled away toward
the Japanese embassy. with the two
former enemies snugly ensconced in
the capacious tonneau.
