DOES CLIMATE cAANeE7

An inspection of meteorological rec ords made in semiarid sections during the past fifty years seems to give lit tie encouragement to the theory that the breaking up of the soil in those sec tions and the growing thereon of titled crops tend to increase the actual amount of rainfall from year to year The most that can be fairly said seems to be that tillage of the soil in sec tions of short rainfall makes possible a maximum utility of the moisture that does fall. while there Is little question that mellow soil and growing crops serve to reduce somewhat the whitening effect of hot south winds in that they tend to lessen rather than increase their capacity to absorb mois- ture.
 The mose wholesome influence that can come Into the life of any person ts q condition in which he Is called upon to work for another. There Is al once satisfaction and rest in such serv- Ice.

Considering the difficulty which is often experienced in carrying the can na through so long dormant period without serious impairment of vital ity. it may be well to put the roots in soil in small pots or in q box large enough to accommodate several roots and place them in a rather cool. light room where the bulbs will spreut. but where their development will be slow. Later. as the time approaches when they may be transferred to the open ground. with the danger of frost past. they may be given warmer quarters.

There is no system or method Of selecting public servants that will of itself insure the election of clean and honest men to office unless 1t is back ed by voters who are alert, honest and actively interested in the problems of popular government. The primary election system, admittedly the best method of selecting officers yet tried will not insure the election of the right men to office any more than a reaper will harvest grain without horses to pull it. Along this line the farmer. the tradesman and the professional man have an equal responsibility in the at tainment of good government.
