If SNOW NEVER FELL.
The Effect Upon the Worlds Crops
Would Be Disastrous.

The Effect Upon the Worlds Crops
Would Be Disastrous.
If all the condensed moisture of the
atmosphere were to fall as rain and
none of 1t was snow hundreds of thou
sands of square miles of the earth's
surface now yielding bountiful crops
would be little better than a desert.
The tremendous economic gain for the
world at large which results from the
difference between snow and rain is
seldom realized by the inhabitants of
fertile and well watered lowlands.
1t is in the extensive regioss where
irrigation is a prime necessity in ag-
riculture that the special uses of snow
come chiefly into view. All through
the winter the snow is falling upon the
mountains and packing itself firmly in
the ravines. Thus in natures great
icehouse supply of moisture is stored
up for the following summer
All through the warm months the
hardened snow banks are melting
gradually. In trickling streams they
1eSoiiJ iSSu thc liNClo WulCu dS tuty
flow through the valleys are utilized
for irrigation. If this moisture fell as
rain 1t would almost Immediately wash
down through the rivers, which would
hardly be fed at all in the summer
when the crops most needed water.
These facts are so well known as to
be commonplace in the Salt Lake val
ley and in the subarid regions of the
west generally. They are not so well
understood in New Jersey or Ohio,
where snow Is sometimes a pictur-
esque, sometimes disagreeable, fea-
ture of winter.
In all parts Of the country the notion
prevails that the snow is of great value
as fertilizer. Scientists, however, are
inclined to attach less importance to
Its service In soil nutrition-for some
regions that have no snow are exceed
fngly fertile-than to its worth as a
blanket during the months Of high
winds. 1t prevents the blowing off Of
the finely pulverized richness of the
top soil. This, although little per-
ceived, would often be a great loss.-

CROSSING THE LINE.

Of the Deep.
The ceremony of crossing the line"
Is a very much more elaborate affair
nowadays than it ever has been despite
the fact that Neptune day is so old a
celebration that its origin is lost to
history.
When old Neptune, impersonated by
a sailor. makes his appearance on an
American battleship nowadays when
the vessel reaches latitude degree,
0 minute, 0 second, to initiate the
jackies who have never crossed the
line before into the mysteries and
membership of the Ancient Order Of
the Deep he is accompanied by his
wife. Amphitrite, another sailor. They
are both dressed fantastically in
clothes which have been designed and
worked upon ever since the vessel
sailed. How they get on board is un-
known, at least to the captain, who
meets them and gives them permis-
sion to go ahead. An immense tank
made of canvas is rigged up, and here
the initiation Of all the candidates
takes place. Devices for getting the
candidate into the tank vary on diff
ferent ships and on different occa-
sions. Often he is simply picked up
and thrown in. Frequently he Is
made to sit down in a "barber's"
chair close to the edge of the tank,
and when as much soap as possible
has been put into his mouth and eyes
he is tipped over backward. Generally
the soap has been mixed with tar,
coal oil and many other ingredients
and Is impartially applied from the
waist up. so that the bath Is needed.
In the tank the candidate Is attend
ed, sometimes by "bears" with shaggy
coats made of unraveed rope and
sometimes by 'cops" who act as the

 REPLIES TO MR. TAFT

soon forget the republican party and it's criminal record in the south? God of our fathers forbid that we should ever for
 get What of the republican partyS rec ord in more recent years? It was your party, MT. Taft, that declared that north ern states shall have the right to regu- late the franchise and change the Con- stitution at will, but that this right shall be denied to the southern states. It was your party that tried to pass the Force Bill and had you succeeded Federal sol
 diers with their bayonets would be about all the polling places in the south on election day to prevent a free expression of our peoples will--to carry elections by force; and it is your party now, MT. Taft, that has declared in the platform upon which you are running its determination to cut down our representation in Con gress and in the electoral college; and yet, you invite us to leave the democratic party and join you in this outrage upon our people. No, MT. Taft, the self-re
 spectng white men in the south will not join you In this work. The southern man who votes the republican ticket this year, votes against his highest and best inter
 est-he votes to destroy the union of equal states and to establish union of unequal states in it's stead-he votes to deprive his own section of it's just power in the government-he votes for the deg radiation and dishonor of his state.
 Your invitation, MT Taft, for us to leave the democratic party is an invita- tion for us to turn our backs upon the south's best friend and becbme the ally of the south's worst enemy Your invi- tation for us to abandon democracy now is an invitation to desert the party of equal rights-the party of the Constitu- tion. It is an invitation to leave the par ty that drove the scallywags and carpet baggers from the south and gave back home rule and selfgovernment to every southern state. 1t is an invitation, sir, to destroy the party upon whose should CTS rests the final perpetuity of constitu

When the Baby Squalls.

The idea that babies squall by nature. as matter of habit or out of pure euss- edness, is both delusion and base islander on the baby. Not even q pig will squeal when he gets enough to eat and at sufficiently frequent intervals. And a farmer who would hear his cherished hogs squealing in their fattening pens would promptly "calI dowH' the hired man whose duty it was to feed them. Whenever q baby squalls it is some grown-up's fault He does not want very much at time but he does like it reg ular. And when you have once, by lit tle careful observation, struck his gait as to amount and frequency-abo two ounces every two hours is a fair average to begin with-then his little life will be one peaceful sequence of eating and sleep ing sleeping and eating, but all the time growing with as little fuss or disturb ance as a tulip makes when it is pushing up it's green pencil through the brown earth.

Wool.

From Success Magazine.
 Wool is raised extensively in all parts of the United States. including Wall street. It is used as garment for wolves and to adjust over peoples eyes. In Wall street, wool takes the form of fleece and is highly prized as protec- tion for both bulls and bears, who are often too thinly clad for their own com- fort Thus the tender lamb is glad to help out it's brothers in distress. The shearng hours are from 10 to g.
 Wool is obtained from sheep that we re- member to have seen in oil paintings dot ting the landscape. Dotting the land scape is, however, not an occupation in itself, but is only means toward an end. Most of it is exported to other countries. but occasionally traces of it are found in our domestic woolen underwear.
 The phrase "All wool and yard wide' was invented before the modern laun- dryman Since his advent it has been re- vised to "AI wool and three inches wide"
 Sheep are very simple in their habits. or wash and dress their hair every night or wash and dres their hair every night before going to bed, they seldom become bald or are obliged to sit in the front TOW. Their name is also always the same. so they are not likely to get lost. When we say sheep we simply mean a lot of sheeps gathered together.
 In ordinary cases sheep arrive at ma turity in a year or so, but Mary's little lamb never grows old and is as frisky as ever. Marys little lamb indeed is the only one who has pulled the wool over everyone's eyes and concealed his real age ever since he was born.
 Wool is used in this country for fan nel .bandages and chest protectors. In these alternate forms it is worn by hus- bands who have caught cold, and who have no other means to defend them- selves than Co look sheepish.
