Every schoolboy who has detained
the ringing lines of THE Battle OF
Ivry" has learned to associate the
lilies of France. no less than the white
plume of her hero king, with history
in its most stirring aspect. Not every
school girl who follows with pride and
sympathy the career of Joan OF Arc,
the young French peasant heroine and
saint, may know, however, that they
are associated even more closely with
the lilly maid" of France; since, when
the king ennobled her, the title he
conferred-needless, but aptly chosen
made her Dame du Lis-the Lady
Of the Lilies
Yet the lilies of France were not
lilies at all; for the fleur-de-lis, or
fower-de-luce, is certainly an iris. Me-
dieval Florence, however, also recl5-

LAND ONLY DAMAGED SLIGHTLY
Postmaster at Odessa Makes Statement
Regarding Sand Running Farms
and Crops.

Odessa, Wash.-Considerabl indig-
nation has been aroused among the
farmers and business men of the Odes-
sa country over an article printed in
the dailies of this state saying this
year the sand had blown over the
farms, running the crops and covering
the fences and that the farmers had
given up in despair and were thinking
of leaving their lands.
That a few people residing in
sandy district have been seriously af
fected by the wind this season is true,
but the conditions existing southwest
of Odessa are no worse than those
found in many other localities of the
Big Bend and that the same has been
exaggerated at least fourfold in the
article referred to is self-evident to
all that are at all familiar with the
affected district.
There were only 1900 acres, or four
and one-sixteenth sections out of sew
enteen sections, affected by sand, and
lit is a well known fact that consider
able wheat is being harvested on some
of the above described land. The
writer knows of one-half section of
this land that was reseeded from which
is now being harvested two-thirds
crop, or about 20 bushels per acre.
The talk of desertion of this land is
ridiculous. If any are of the opinion
