Birthday Party.

Little Titchie Meyers enter,
tanned about fifteen little girls at
her birthday party last Satur-
day afternoon. The afternoon
was well spent in all kinds of
children's games, after which
refreshments were served. All
of the tots were well pleased
with the entertainment, and the
only regret was that there were
not more birthday parties.

"Sane Fourth" Celebrated at Canyon.

IL can truly De Sald undU uile
citizens of Canyon had sane
fourth, as most of her citizens
were either at the auto races at
Amarillo or out at the basket
picnic over at the falls in the
canyons east of here where some
800 people enjoyed themselves
with an old fashioned basket pic
mic. The day was spent in the
usual pastime amusements. A
number of persons from ANA
rillO were present.
To a number it was their first
visit either to the falls or the
canyons and these were so de-
lighted with the grandeur of the
scenery that arrangements are
being made to camp out for a
week. Like all other celebra-
tions of the 4th, it was warm but
the writer does not remember Of
seeing snow on the ground in
this latitude on July 4th.
Judging from their talk and
experiences of some, it will make
memorable, July 4th, 1910, as
very impressive for years to
come, especially to the party un-
der the guidance and by the
kind invitation of that kind-hear-
ted w. S. Keiser, who had invited
as guests F. p. Luke, wife and
son, l.. B. Christman and wife.
After loading the auto with bas-
kets of good things to eat, not
only of this party but several
other picnicers' grub. We started
with plenty of time to arrive at
the falls for dinner, and everyone
in the auto was as happy as a
clam at high sea-"
When out about three miles
east of Canyon, the driving
chain separated and having no
repair tools with US, we had moth
inp to do hut to eth er walk or
look for some other way to get
home. 1t was rather warm to
walk, so the task was delegated
to "mein" host, W. S. Keiser and
L. B. Christman, to search for
some other locommotiOn than
dead auto or shanks' horses. Mr..
Keiser spied farmer in a field
with team about a half mile
away. After a half hour walk,
the man was prevailed on to
hitch our dead auto on behind
his hay wagon, and we came
slowly but surely home, towed
behind the hay wagon,
After reaching the Keiser Bros.
& Philips land office, we quickly
removed all luggage and the
lunch baskets not only those be-
longing to our party but those
, belonging to the parties who
were already out at the falls ten
miles away, anxiously waiting
for our arrival, and almost star
we'd. Our good ladies soon had
lunch prepared. After securing
some delicacies at nearby res
taurant, we had a feast which
was enjoyed by all.
After a mirthful experience
meeting of two hours, and listen
ing to Mr.. Keiser's consoling
words when he said, 1T was
awfully bad, but it might have
been worse" We all laughed
and agreed with him.

of the New York Central railroad
lines, is one of those who believe
with James j. Hill that the
problem OF giving the masses
bread is becoming the question
of the hour" Mr.. Brown re-
Gently delivered an address be-
fore the Boys Agricultural club
of Page county, Iowa, in which
he asserted that bread short
age is coming unless something
is done to increase production.
In the course of his remarks he
said:
"A most careful investigation
of statistics shows beyond a
shadow of a doubt that, unless
production can be Immediately
and powerfully timulated, with
in five years consumption of food
stuffs in this country will have
overtaken production; the last
vessel lorded with the exports of
the nation s farms will have left
our shores the grain-eXporting
elevators in our Atlantic and Pa
cific ocean ports will stand empty
and idle; and this great agricul-
tural nation, like the nations of
the old world, will be looking
with anxious eyes for place to
purchase the necessaries of life. T"
Mr.. pointed out that Iowa far
mers only produced an average
of seventeen bushels of wheat to
the acre, while Germany pro
duced an average of twenty
eight and the United Kingdom
an average of thirty two. He
quoted from a recent magazine
article by f. d. Coburn, secre-
tary of the Kansas board of agri-
culture in which Mr.. Coburn
wrote:
Kansas land planted in wheat
produces an average of from thir-
teen to fifteen bushels per acre.
Men write of the shame of the
crimes of society, but this is the
crime of agriculture. The far
mers are not seizing the opper-
tunities among which they are
thrust;they are not doing justice
to the land and climate with
which a generous Creator has
endowed them. When the real
ize how much more per acre can
be produced by only little ad-
ditional labor and at no great ad-
ditional expense, and when they
meet the soil and climate half
way, then the farmers may be
truly proud of their achieve
ments.
Increased production, Mr.
Brown declares, is the farmers
marvellous opportunity and his
solemn duty" 1t is well that he
makes such a stirring appeal to
the boys of Iowa. If the boys
will take hold of the farms in
earnest they can beat their faith
ers' record of seventeen bushels
of wheat to the acre. A new gen

There has been too much of
what the New York Central's
president calls half farming"
in the past. There was plenty
of land; when the farmer worked
one tract to death he could
break up a new ground; if the
whole farm deterioated to where
it was struggle to make a liy-
ing on it, he could sell out and
go West.
These conditions no longer ex-
ist. New grounds are not avail
able as they once were, and good

scarce. The country is growing

PRAIRIE CHICKENS ARE
ALMOST EXTINCT BIRD

Wilbur, Wash.-Sportsmen north
and northwest of here along the Co.
lumbia river seem apprehensive that
the wanton killing and Illegal hunt
ing last fall has well-nigh extermlna-
ted the prairie chickens in that To-
cality, and that they will have little
or no hunting during 1910.
Reports come from that country
that where there were dozens of COW
eys of chickens only bird now and
then Is seen, and these in Isolated
quarters where the huntsman seldom
enters While there can be no doubt
that during severe winters the prair-
lie chickens perish Of cold and starva-
tion, yet this is scarcely sufficient
ground for the assumption Of their
determination, for prairie chickens
sufficiently combat the winters in lat
itudes more northerly than this. II

continuance and the perpetuation Of

in History-Farmers' Week On.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, Ore-The Oregon Agricultural
college winter short courses which
close this week with the regular
Farmers Week" have been the most
successful from every point Of view
Of any Of the college short course
work The work offered has been
more extensive and more thorough and
the class Of students has been more
mature, and more progressive than
those that attended in former years.
That the efforts Of the college au-
thorities were appreciated is attested
by the resolutions passed by the short
course students expressing "apprecia-
ton and gratitude to the president and
faculty Of the college, and to members
Of the experiment station for the bene-
fits and opportunities which they en-
joyed and for the many courtesies and
the interest in their behalf"
Farmers Week promises to eclipse
anything of the kind ever held at the
college. The institution has added to
its equipment and has received very
valuable assistance from farmers.

IOWA PRIMARY ELECTION.
The Administration Candidates Generally
Successful,

The reports from the primary
election IN Iowa held Tuesday
indicate that the administration
candidates were generally sue
cessful by safe majorites.
The most pronounced was the
splendid majority of Gov. Carol
who won over his rival by twelve
thousand or more majority and
the two thousand or more ma
jority with which Judge Walter
J. Smith was re-nominated in the
ninth district over Attorney
General Byers. 1t was Gov.
Carroll and Judge Walter j..
Smith of Council Bluffs that
Senator Cummings made his
special fight against.
The nomination of Frank
Prouty over Congressman Hull
does not have so much political
significance. While Hull stood
with the administration in con-
gress he only won out by 40 votes
over Prouty two years ago.
Prouty was then and is yet
a Cummings man and not only
popular in the district but one
of the great orators of state and
self made man. Proutys
success from personal view is a
pleasure to the editor of the RE.
PUBLICAN as while we were not
class mates we were in college
together. His great success in
his native state has been watched
by us with pride.
