l.. b. Miller. the well-knoWn jewel
er, met with a serious accident while
at Spokane recently. In cranking his
automobile the crank slipped out of
his hand and flew back, striking him
ION the wrist, breaking both bones.
DR.. Campbell was with him and set
the injured wrist and the party came

ALL IN THE GOLDEN FUTURE,
Beautiful Picture of What Life on the
Farm Is to Be Like.

The future farmer will subirrigate
his land, and defy drought as well as
floods. He will become a scientific
forester, aud every farm will produce
wood and lumber as well as wheat and
apples. A single acre will produce
what ten acres yield now. Women
will work out doors as heartily as
men; in fact, they will be the horti.
culturists and the truck gardeners.
There will be closer relation between
the producer and the consumer igS

To Protect Newspapers From Liars


An intelligent member of the Yer
mont Legislature has proposed a bill
to that body intended to guard news
papers against lying informants. He
would make the giving of false news
to a newspaper with intent to deceive
punishable by fine ranging from 50
to 500 for each Offense.
A law similar TO this on the federal
statute books, if vigorously enforced,
would impoyish some of our brayest'
best and most distinguished ofticehold
ers. A deplorably small number OF
public men feel any scruples about de-
ceiying representatives of newspapers
when it is to their interest to tell half
truths or falsify absolutely. Official

jority of instances. not worth the
