The amount of labor required for the crop
Itself was about 10 working days, with team
l5a days. The seSbania used as green manur-
ing on tile west half OF the potato ground was.
given II irrgations. Bermuda grass, more
over houriShed beneath the sesbania to such
an extent as subsequently to require % days
labor for cleaning up the 40 acres feJtiljzed.
Although the larger part of the crop came
from the sesbania fertilized portion OF the po-
tatoes this method Of ~enriching the soil
proved.very costly, q days mans time and
days teamwork being required to put the ses-
bania- -ui!C.er and afterwards get rid of the
Bermuda grass. Nevertheless, the labor en-
tailed couhieasily have been managed by u
careful farmer, as the Bermuda digging was
done in January when other"work was not
urgent.

THE OCTOBER SMART SET

The East Side of New York, with all it's poverty and suffering, possesses a remarkable intellectual life, says Mabel Agnes Lorenz in the October Smart Set. In the cafes and tea-Iooms of this section may be found the exiled brain and spirit of the whole Slav world, influencing silently but effectively tre- mendous changes in the political life of Southern Europe. In "Where Exiled Russia Eats" Miss Lorenz draws an attractive picture of a phase of life in the metropolis known to but few out side of it's little purlieus.

people for its effect upon the things they are dependent upon,
 We see one of the most distinguished and respected men of the nation sud- denly, in single day, taken down from the pedestal upon which he has stood so many years ard fall to point where the street car drivers cease to do him honor. It Is the result of the glare of light that attends the political cam paign. The opposition has scarcely time to adjust itself to it's position of advantage resulting, when the search light reveals an equally rotten place in its own srmor and the game between the contestants tallies. But the com mon people, accustomed to trust these individuals and who, by their votes, believing them to be what they set themselves up to be, made them what they are, stand amazed at their own blindness. However 1t is all ex- cellent business, most excellent. It is au object lesson that will come home to every citizen und put check to the maudlIn sentimentality that, born of the American's sense of justice and in- sistance upon fair play, has recently been enlisted in behalf even of this cor ruptor of the nation because, forsooth, the paltry fine of s29,OOO,OOO for this very sort of thing looks large to the average citizen. Surely it is excellent business; it is 8 good time to let plati- tudes go and just simply turn our un- divided attention to setting a MAN on guard.

WILBUR WRlGHTS WONDERFUL TRE
 UApH IN THE AIR

The last we heard by wire from Wilbur Wright was that the accident to his brother orville, at Fort Myer, had caused him to cancel all dates for testing bis Aeroplsne. Late exchanges to hand make 1t clear that he changed hls mind. Dispatches from Le Mans, France, where he has been per forming before the French Aero club, describe a most thrilling and success iul exhibition given on the 23d ult., making 8 new worlds record over that of his brother, Orville, and 10 the presence of many notables and crowd of ten thousand frantic people, Mir. Wright won the Aero club prize of sl,OO0 and the Michelin cup for the greatest distance covered by an aero plane in 1908. The accident to Oryille had whetted interest in the exhibition and the great thronR was ready for impressions. The test began at 5:l5 in the afternoon and the machine re- msIned in the air until forced to earth by darkness.
 "The aviator got away nicely" says the dispatch, Sailing majeStically up the field. Around the upper turn Wright swept back to where the thous- auds were gathered and began describ- ing ellIpses. Round and round he went with the regularity of clock work and the s.eadiuess of a railroad train. The great crowd was at once delighted and amazed at the remarkable stability shown by the aeroplane. In the gath erlng darkness the spectacle became thrilling. The aeroplaue could not longer be seen at the further end of the field; lE appeared and disappeared in the gloom like white phantom, but the sound of the ceaseless churn of the propellorS told the multitudes, which had now grown frantic, that Wright was still 10 the air. Matches were lighted to keep track of the fleeing minutes, and night had fallen when, at the thirty.third round Wright shut of his motor and came lightly to the ground.
 "WIth mad cheer the crowd broke through the lines and rushed forward, only being prevented from hoIsting the American in triumph on their shoul- ders by charging cavalry"
 Mir. Wright told the Associated Press that he had descended only because of darkness. He still had sufficient essence in the tank to last an hour.
 Mir. Wright took his achievement with his usual modesty, but he said that he was especially glad to have es- abolished new worlds record for that he does not intend hereafter to carry passenger.

As a theatrical entertainer she has few equals, her stage pictures are well nigh perfect. and her impersonations of character are so free from the semblance of art. as to destroy the idea of illusion and make them seem realities. In her new play, "The Little Prospector" she has found a fitting medium for the express sion of her dramatic powers.

TRIO OF MERchms V|cT|M|zED BY ROsrRs
Friday Night Was Distinguished b Burglaries.

That those who have a slight re- gard for law and order and little fear
 of the city officers do not always con- fine themselves and their depredatiOns
 to large cities. was evidenced in Mesa again on Friday night, when the stores of M. P. Holladay. The Mesa Meat
 and Cold Storage market and the store
 of O. & Stapley X Co. were all entered and at least two of these robbed of money. In these two stores, in each
 of which the theives secured a small sum of money, were those of Holla day and the market. The person or persons employed much the same tao tics, entering from the rear and taking what money was in the cash register
 in both cases this was small, S3.3O in the former and S4.5O in the latter in stance. At the drug store they entered through a window ripping off the wooden slats which were nailed on the out side of the casing. and at the meat market they tore open the wire screen. At o. s. Stapley's they broke the
 large wooden door in the rear Of the ware room at the back of the store. Getting no further than this however,
 as the heavy iron fire doors which were closed and locked. effectively present ed further operations here, however. nothing was missed as it is presumed the robbers, foiled in their attempts to get at the cash register considered nothing else worthy of pilfering.
 This condition held true in the other two instances also, so far as the pro- prietors have been able to ascertain.
 Nothing but the money is missing from either the drug store or the meat mark ct. In neither was there any evidence
 that the safes had been tempered with Indicating that the robbers were either too inexperienced for this kind of work
 or that they preferred taking smaller amounts more easily gotten. No clue
 to the perpetrators has so far been se- lcured.
