i'm how long since the O. S. l.. be-
gan hauling its freight from Salt
Lake and other points to Miner by
wagon, or whether it is hauling
freight consigned to Oakley at all
any more. Some of our Oakley mer-
chants have had freight delayed at
Miner good many days longer than
they would allow even railroad Off
Gals to hang, and if it is the fault of
our |. S. l.. branch a guaranteed
freight line with a fifty-cent mini

WHO ARE THE BOOSTERS?
You Can Win q prize and be
Booster at the Same Time.

That the establishing of a news
paper is one of the best boosts
for a town or village is a ques-
ton that has never been dispu-
ted. 1t is the foundation for the
beginning of city; its news
speaks louder than words, and
places before the public what the
community is doing or striving
to do. Not another establish
ment can do more for the COM
munity than a newspaper and
the public should appreciate this
and boost.
The way to boost is demand
coupons with your next purchase
and not only will you assist the
merchants that are boosting,
but you will assist the lady
boosters as well. In an other
column you will find the names

PROBLEM OF SOIL MOISTURE
importance Of Water Not Very
Well Understood.

The Importance of water in the soil
Should be. Common soil contains as
many as 40O,O00,O0O separate particles
to the ounce, and between all these
are infinitely thin layers of what the
modern soil doctor calls film water"
1t fsJn this film water, not on the soil
itself, that plants feed. for 1t dissolves
from the earth particles of food which
the plants require to keep them well.
The plants feed. too. on air-not only
the air above the surface of the earth,
bu, that which permeates the minute
cracks between the earth particles.
Ninety per cent. of any crop taken on
a field comes. not from the soil of that
field, but from the air above and In 1t.
Wafer, however, is the most important
medicine which the soil doctor knows,
says Campbell's Scientific Farmer.
The amount of water needed to grow
one ton of common hay has been cal
culated to be sufficient to cover a one
acre field more than foot deep. For.
tunately for the farmer. even the
drirst soil, when compressed, is dis.
covered to contain more than half It's
own weight of film water. Too much
water in the soil Is as bad as too lit
tie. for II the soil is water-logged the
crop will get drowned" as surely as
a man can be drowned in any body of
water.
