The cook came in with a dish, and
after hanging in the wind for minute
she said:
"Mr. Bowser. the range has got to
smoking, and ! wish you would come
out after dinner and see what ails It."

her.
She suffered and stammered and
gasped and fed. and when she reached
her own domain she sank into chair
and exclaimed:
III that's Mr.. Bowser then he's been
made all over again."
"she evidently took me for another
person." he said across the table after
the cooks disappearance.

Mr.. Bowser asked IL the smoke Of

wILLIsTON'S CUKE CROP

Mr. D. E. Jones, who was in town
yesterday from the Williston section,
speaking about the cucumber crop for
which that section is famous, said the
season was about over and that diff
ferent growers had varying success
with their crops. He said there were
about 275 acres planted without irri-
CATION and about 1875 acres irrigated.
Puget Brothers had 10 acres irrigated,
from which they shipped over 5000
baskets and had received fair prices
for them and made some money. Their
irrigation plant cost several thousand
dollars. They put down six-inch
we'll. 1913 feet deep. Their pipes were
nifty feet apart. The price OF cukes
last Saturday in New York was $1.25 a
basket. Madison LaRoche had "a acres
in cukes of which 35 acres were under
irrigation and his returns were salts
factory. In the busy season % cars a
day were shipped and there was great
activity In and around Williston get
ting of the crop. The lands in that
section are particularly adapted to the
growing Of cucumbers and during the
trucking season everybody is kept on
the keen jump looking after their spe
cial interests.

others. They seized rifles and pistols
and instituted a reign of terror. Many

HOW NOT TO COMB YOU RHAIR
Some Hints that VIII be Greatly Ap-
preciated by Particular Men
(Homer Croy in the Delineato

CHomer Croy in the Delineator)
Just as surely as hair is woman's
browning glory it is mans glorious
browning. That is, to those who have
it. Those whose heads have pushed up
through their hair usually use buck
aback towel for the delicate process of
parting the hair. but unless one has
the peculiar requirements it is not
worth while to cultivate them.
Men with low. squatting foreheads
should not pull their hair down over
their browS, and men whose foreheads
are beginning to work back should in
wife their locks down. If your hair has
quietly slipped down toward your ears
on each side. leave it there If you
bring it up in strings and wisps it will
merely look like climbing vines, and
will never really have the free and
easy, homelike appearance that ought
to be the part of all natural hair.
Do not part your hair any earlier
than you can help. Hair is in a hurry
these days, anyway. Usually it doesn't
stay more than long enough to make
sure that the baby is going to be boy
before it hastens off. 1t will part of
itself soon enough, the best you can do.
Before combng your hair you should
get acquainted with the architecture of
your face. If your face is of the har-
vest moon variety, do not inlay your
hair. Puff it up as much as possible.
It's better to look like a feather buster
| on a Monday morning than a scratched
billiard ball on a Saturday night.
But If your face is Of long, gal
/ Looping ensemble, do not encourage your
hair to fluff. Instead keep it down
close to headquarters. If your head
| inclines to run up to cone, do not
spread your hair around in imitation
Of palm tree thatch; rather fun it up
and windrow it for fear some INBRED
person will begin to talk about spring
radish tops.
