Is the day set apart for boat drills. Bright and early the big white lifeboat Is wheeled down to the waters edge. The surfmen, In their oilskins, grasp their oars, and, with the captain at the helm. the craft is launched into the breakers. In the launching operation the surfmen are waist deep in water, and on the se- were days of winter the spray from breaking waves envelops men and boats in crust of ice. It takes four minutes to launch the boat, and the entire drill con- sumes an hour. Wednesday Is devoted to flag drill, and each member of the corps is as proficient in the work of wigwag ging as Is the signal officer aboard one of our ships of war. Thursday Is scheduled for beach apparatus drill, which includes the sighting and firing of the gun, the rigging of the brooches buoy and prac- tice in its use. The resuscitation of the drowned is the object of Fridays drill, and the various exercises are gone through with upon one of the members of the crew as a subject. Saturday is clean ing-up day, and Sunday there is no work outside of the regular watches.

dashed from Its carriage and launched in the surf. Cork belts are strapped on, the long oars manned, and fin a jiffy the crew Is battling with the white-crested waves that rush across the bar. A surf mountainous high may be running and the efforts of the llfe-savers to ride the angry breakers may be futile; then the beach apparatus comes into play, and the little brass cannon with It's load of rope and heavy steel projectile bangs forth q saving message to those aboard the ship. The shot goes true, the line falls afouf spar and Is eagerly grasped by those on the ship and made fast A heavier rope is drawn in by aid of the line just secured, and with this comes thick hawser, which Is made fast to mast. The brooches buoy is lashed to the tackle and slowly those aboard the ship are drawn to safety.
 Each day of the week there Is a drill. Intended to keep the crew at the height of efficiency. and these drills are quite as arduous and severe upon the physiques of the crews as the real rescues. On Mon days the apparatus Is hauled from its house and spread over the beach, while the crew overhauls the rigging. Tuesday

As mem- hers of the fire departments of the big cities become welded to their perilous profession. so life savers become so at jached t1 their work that they are rarely veaued away from 1t. The sea Is the magnet and they cannot resist its call.
 Where duty calls thence they go. The most advantageous point to observe the work of the I.ife-saving Corps Is along ihe Jersey coast. where 42 stations have hceu established between Sandy Hook ard BarEesat Of course. similar stations are maintained, at regular intervals. from Maine Co Florida. as well as along tac Pacific CC:s:. but no coast Is so iFr;ireious as that Of New Jersey, and iu co:SecGcucc iLe stations are found at u.ure fi,lEra; intervals and greater vigi- lance ss i-c p;ere rereSsary.

Branch. This Is mainly due to the manI- fold dangers which shipping encounters just of this point and this corps boasts of more rescues effected and more lives saved than by any other corps in the service.
 Capt. William Van Brunt commands this station and under him are six hardy and fearless surfmen. The work day of life-saving crew consists of 24 hours-no more, no less. From the 3lst day of August until June l (when the men are laid of for an enforced vaca- ton of three months) the men are prac- tically on duty every minute of the time. Twelve hours, once a week, is allowed each man, and fin this time they visit their families, who generally reside In seaside cottages nearby. Night watch is the period when every sense must be most acute and, in spite of s.orm or extreme cold, every inch of coast be- tween stations is patrolled at regular in- tervals. As is to be supposed, 1t is the winter f nights that patrolmen most dread. At 5 o'clock each afternoon patrol duty begins. The interval be- tween sunrise and sunset the loOkouts spend in the watch towers, which reach

But as night closes in the coast pickets start out and cover the lonely eight-mile stretches between stations As the captain of the station announces sunset surfmen Nos. 1 and ?, bundled in their heavy woolen sweat CTS and Jumpers, start out on their lonely stroll. proceeding in opposite directions from their stations. At the end of the four-mile stretch each covers he meets a pntrolman from the other station, and here they ex- change brass checks, which are turned over to the captains of the re spective stations to prove that every inch of coast under their jurisdiction has been traversed. Patrol duty for each crew lasts four hours, at the, end of which the plckets return to their station for warmth and rest preparatory to re- lieving those by whom they, in turn, were relieved. If, during the night, a rocket flashes from deck of ship of shore another greets 1t from the land, and fin an instant all is activity at the station.

Making Automobile Roads Dustless.

The biggest problem today in connec- tion with the automobile Is not in making them big enough and fast enough, or even sure enough to keep moving-it is the handling of the road bed over which the auto must perforce pass. The big machines tear the top off an ordinary road much as a sharp knife will peel an orange. Then again the dust from automobiles is serious nuisance in all suburban and urban dis tricts.

ing corps. for surfmen receive but S65 per month, and out Of this they must support themselves, buy their uniforms and pro vide for their families. This amount Is further reduced by the two months va cation during the summer, for which they receive no compensation. The com mander of each station receives, 5000 year, and, considering that 1t takes ai- most a lifetime in the service to reach this exalted position, the salary Is but paltry pittanee. United States Senator Kean, of New Jersey, is endeavoring to put through Congress a bill providing for the creation of retired list after life saver has reached a certain age. This will be of some benefit to the life-savers. but an increase of wages is what they most earnestly hope for.
 It is to the women and children, to the men themselves, disabled by such or deals as they undergo. that Congress is out of every five of the brave fellows left in the service has wife at home, and more often than not children as well. Nearly all of the bachelors in the service have dependent mothers or sisters. Are not the women and children of the men who thus risk their lives for others as worthy of a nations protection as the women of the soldier and bluejacket who fight once in a generation. or of the rev. enue cutter sailor who seldom smells gun powder fin a lifetime?
 Sumner L. Kimbali, general superinten- dent of the United States Life-saving Service. has worked hard for pensions for his men, their widows, orphans and de pendent mothers, such as were so recently granted to those of the Revenue Cutter Service Congress is apparently not yet in a mood to grant this richly merited boon to our brave surfmen, who are, year

in and year out, the hardest worked and by long odds the worst exposed to suffer- ing and danger -ef all of Uncle Ssm's ser wants. NIT. Kimball. while connected with the federal government continuously since 1862, has held his present post for 3T years. He shows by the official records that since he organized this bureau, in 1871, his nfe-sayers have rendered as- sistance at IS, 900 wrecks, which imperiled the lives of 125, 900 people and about S3J0,- 100000 worth of property. Statistics prove that IA out of every 15 of these human beings and over two-thirds of this iui- periled property have been saved. In ad dition to administering to those distressed at sea the records show that members of various life-saving stations succeeded in saving the lives of nearly 100 persons who had gotten Into the water from causes other than accident to boats-woul6-bs suicides. lunatics, careless bathers. skat- CTS, children who fell from docks, e.c.- rescued 1O7 flood victims, carried IT i'll persons to physicians. gave direct medical aid to 10 others, recovered SS corpses from the water. cared for 13 others found on beaches, recovered 14 lost hshnets. saved 100000 feet of drifting saw logs, worked at 31 fires and rescued from the flames 6 horses and 110 vehicles.
 Again scanning his records the Superin- tendent showed that there were many rescues of persons endangered In other ways, such as by falling into sewers, get ting caught against breakwaters, lost In blizzards, stranded in automobiles and en- dangered by runaway horses From the aforegoing It can be seen that the man calling upon Congress for living wages combines with his best known duties those of fireman, policeman, salvage man, am- bulance surgeon. hospital steward and custodian of the dead.

LOCAL WEATHER RECORD.

A much needed rain fell Sat
urday. 1t began falling about
y. IN. and continued until after
10 p. m. The fall in town was
over an inch and with the excep-
ton of a strip some four or five
miles wide in the northern pOr-
ton of the county in which the
rain was light the entire county,
from all reports, had as much
if not more rain than fell in Can
yon City. 1t was all that was
needed at the time and brought
partial salvation to a dying grain
crop.
Speaking for Randall county
wheat now bids fair to make ten
bushels per acre. Some fields,
where the land received proper
attention prior to seeding, will
go over twenty bushels per acre,
but the scratched in," and
much of it was that way, will re-
duce the general average down
to ten. This, however, is The
News estimate and it would only
be fair to say that a much better
turnout is predicted by the grow
ers themselves.
Our country friends speak of
a fine oat crop now. They are
coming out wonderfully since the
rain, but to fill out good The
News is of the opinion that more
rain will be required.
Corn, Maize and Katfir now
have ideal conditions under which
to grow and sod breaking, where
stopped on account OF being too
dry, can now be resumed.
The first cutting of alfalfa now
on the market is yielding better
than eXpected-three-quarters
of ton per acre and the price to
the grower is between S11 and
S12.

He defeated j. j. Ebert, of the Golf

brilliant Saturday.

known by all his friends, has been
knocking at the championship door for
