Mrs. William H. Taft is behind this
movement, which had it's inception
shortly after the death Of Mrs. Aston a
year ago. and ID looked upon favorably
by the New Workers., IN view of the
way that divorce and other causes have
played havoc with the original mem

There IL absolutely no intention to
ignore other cities, except geograph-
ically. In the opinion of those behind
the movement every social leader Of
the country maintains a residence in
either Philadelphia, Washington or
New York, and this will be SUFFICIENT
qualification for membership.
Rank the First Requisite.
Rank, birth and wealth will be only
relative qualifications for membership.
Rank will be more valuable than birth.
according to the promoters OF the
movement. They include birth al a
categorical qualification in order to em-
brace those families who have achieved
no especial rank or wealth to justify
their coming under these headings.
Wealth alone will not be considered.

necessary item 10 made plain by the

STRANDED ON THE DESERT

j. Wesley Stewart, our genial
postmaster, returned yesterday
from the .wilds of Mono county
where he spent his vacation. He
has been through several trying
experiences and during the
months absence succeeded in losing
al pounds. The trip to Bridge
port, which was made by auto,
was one that Stewart will not soon
forget. He was accompanied by
Bunny Brown, who acted as driver,
and Dick Davis, who was the Star
passenger.
When about eight miles from
Crow Springs the automobile
baked and refused to con tinue any
further. After an hours work
Wesley and Bunny started back to
Millers, while Davis stopped at the
springs. He was picked up the
next day by a team. About IL
miles was covered when Stewart
gave out and sought rest under
tall sage brush. Brown continued
and on arriving at Millers hired an
expressman who went out as a re-
lief party. In the mean time Mr..
Stewart gathered his courage and
shoes and made a desperate effort
to cover the remaining distance.
He was met by the relief party,
and by that time was talking to
himself. He crawled aboard the
vehicle and when he was landed at
hotel he was charged $3.50 as
fare. Of course he paid. He took
the train the next day for Sodaville
where after resting for several
days, the auto came along and the
trip was resumed. Hereafter
Wesley AYERS that he will travel
with a complete camping outfit in

ALFALFA CRRE ALL

Alfalfa, which has hitherto been
the holder of a blebeian place in
the food scheme, is destined to be-
come a comprehensive indicative
and remedial agent that will put
all others in the shade, according
to DR.. Marian N. Clark of Los
Angeles, who announces the dis.
covery of remarkable curative
power properties in the plant and
blossoms. Her idea, already
carried out on a small scale and
suggested by the menthol industry,
is to electrolyze the alalfa and con-
dense its healing elements to
pocket size-a haystack of medi-
