of Luther Burbank. Not only were
his ideas on irrigation, in which
the Bartender is vital factor, such
as have become the recognized STAN
dard in all dry countries, but his
ideas on potato culture we're labor
saving in the extreme. One spring,
after Bill's wife had prepared the
potatoes for planting, she tore Bill
away from his solo game, which
had not been neglected for SO much
as half day all winter, and sent
him out to plant them. A short
time later he was seen by freight
ers, busily planting pototoes. He
was astride his favorite cayuse and

and sudden desire to roam.

anxious parents that the boys would
be returned in as good order as pos
sible at an early date. The train

She kept it in her bonnet
And that's the reason why
