DRY FARMlNe-WHAT is IT?

For The Leader.
What Is dry farming? Is ques-
lion oflen asked and as often the
answer is mystifed and unsatisfac
tory The dry farming congrsss.
which meets at Billings, Mont Oc-
toher 26. q and Is, 1879, through its
secretary, John T Burns, In iit-
tie bulletin, answers the question so
fully that all wAo read II may un-
derstand what drS farming means.
The bulletin says Dry farming,
so called, is from operations under
limited rainfall In districts where ir-
rigation water cannot be obtained or
where The supply OF irrigation water
Is Inadequate TO meet the require
ments Of the acreage
That seems to be plain enough.
Dry farming then means, so far as
Oklahoma is concerned for the pres
ent and FOR some years yet to come,
a reliance upon rainfall aud other
natural elements of moisture and
how TO conserve these and prevent
their too rapid evaporation from the
soil Is the problem OF greatest mo-
ment to the agriculturists Of the
state.

Time It Takes to Dress.

Il ought TO take any woman at least
an hour and half to dress, and this

powder. fifteen to arrange the hair,
ten to adjust the hat. twenty-five for

for manicure, forty-five for waving

JAP AN IS READY
To FIGHT
MILITARY COUNCIL SUPPORTED
By PATRIOTIC SENTIMENT,
PREPARING PLANS FOR IN
CREASE OF 80 REGIMENTS.

Tokyo, Nov. 26.-Supported by
patriotic sentiment which has gripped
the very heart of the empire, the mil
itary council, following the successful
conclusion of the autumn maneuvers
is preparing the plans for an army
increase which will add fifty regi-
ments of infantry to the imperial
army, according to information OBJ
tanned today from confidential
source.
The wave of resentment which
swept over the empire during the past
summer when scores of soldiers sue
cumbed to sunstroke as consequence
of exacting drills and maneuvers held
at that time, has been succeeded by
real awakening of the military spirit
since the autumn maneuverS brought
the national realization that the army
is being perfected for the inevitable
struggle with Russia.
The trying summer maneuvers
eliminated all weaklings and the en-
durance displayed by the toughened
little foot soldiers during the man
euvers recently concluded, was re-
markable. The tactical problems in
volved throughout the maneuvers in
dicatej most suggestively that the
war Office accepts an eventual clash
with Russia as almost inevitable.
The massed movements of the hardy
infantry line, showed that the en-
pire would again rely on it's effective
foot soldiers to smash the enemy's
lines as they ripped through it at
Mukden
In deciding to strengthen the in
fantry lines, the war office has sub
mitted some interesting data, showing
the losses sustained and inflicted by
the several branches of the Manchur-
ian army According to these statistic
the Japanese army engaged in the
battles from the Yalu to Mukden
had approximately 100000 infantry,
21,315 artillery, with S9S guns and
7714 cavalry. The Russian army had
$4,000 infantry, $4,000 artillery
with PASS guns and 10000 cavalry.
The casualty list of the Japanese
army shows that approximately "a
per cent of the losses were inflicted
by the infantry and approximately IS
per cent of the losses were sustained
by that same branch of the service.

Railroad Officials Meet Employees.

Officials of the western railroads
and committees of their employers
will meet in a series of conferences
beginning the first week in December
in the effort to adjust the demands
made by the men for a change in
working conditions and an increase
in wages. Both railroad heads and
labor leaders express the opinion that
differences will be settled without
trouble. The Northern Pacific and
Great Northern conference will be
at St. Paul as usual.
Notwithstanding their willingness
to confer with their men on the sub
ject of increased wages, the employ
ers hold out little hope that these
wishes will be granted The roads
are too poor they say. According to
Slason Thompson of the Railroad
News Bureau, one reason against an
increase at this time is that the roads
are buying new equipment and MAX
ing extensions following a period of
depression.

MAY HAVE A BIG
COLISEUM
HUGE PERMANENT STRUCTURE
PROPOSED FOR APPLE SHOW
AND DRY FARM CONGRESS in
SPOKANE.

Spokane, Nov. 26.-Spokane may
have a permanent coliseum to house
the National Apple show, the Dry
Farming congress, and provide con-
vention hall, the largest in the In
land Empire, for other purposes.
J. L. Dumas, OF Dayton, and other
leading apple growers in attendance
at the National Apple show have sug-
gested that the city provide perma-
nent coliseum for conventions, and
make Spokane the convention city.
The matter was suggested to several
members of the Chamber of Com
merce and other public institutions.
and it is probable that the plan will
come up for discussion at some
meeting in the near future.
Put 1t at the Fair Grounds.
The plan as suggested is to build
a large structure capable of housing
the National Apple show. which re-
