number OF sixty-three. including some
who had come from Weston to play IN

warm as was expected and the meet
Ing proved a white frost
Quite different was the Republican
meeting there Monday night. The
opera house was filled and enthusiasm
was as plentiful as any set of candi-
dates or speakers could desire. The
contrast between It and the Davis
meeting was striking.
Claude C. Gawthrop. member of the
Republican county committee, pre-
sided in an enthusiastic manner and
made an effective speech on the tariff
and other Issues. The other speakers
were Lafayette c. Grille. nominee for
the House of Delegates; Birk s.

all kept the undivided attention of
their auditors and were given hearty
applause.

great deal of moisture back to the
land again, that has been evaporated
in the hot day time by crops and
trees. (Note: | may mention, as a
proof of this, the well known fact
that in several sections of the West
ern United States, before cultivation
and settlement had commenced, deWs
were exceedingly rare and unknown,
while later on, as large areas Of land
were brought under cultivation, heavy
dews became of frequent occurrence,
and are adding much TO the vigorous
growth of crops. AS the precipita-
ton of water caused by dews is ex-
ceedingly difficult to measure, the
general tendency is to ignore such
precipitation, though every cultivator
knows that the effect of a heavy dew
is almost as beneficial to it's plants as
a light irrigation)."

Squatters Right

The land laws of these United
States are amazingly liberal. A farm
er without a penny may come into
the west, squat upon rich land and
become rich before the time comes to
pay for it-all with his two arms.
Few are familiar with squatters'
rights. Yet they are as safe as the
more regular demonstrating. Indeed
where lands have not been surveyed,
squatting is the only recourse. A
squatter who takes a tract in good
faith AM cultivates it until the sur
vey comes, is just that far ahead of
the hOmesteader.
Secretary Wilson, ever ready to for
ward the cause of the bona hde farm
er, has just issued this order, to en-
able the squatter to get title sooner
than was possible under previous rul.

Why Moisture Increases.

/. 1.-THE surface of the soil is stirred
by cultivation, the contact OF the
lower layers of soil with the evapor-
ating crust broken Herewith, the
moisture of such layers prevented
thereby to escape into the air. and is
therefore restrained and conserved
for the growing of crops.
3. Wells being dug, and water from
lower strata being pumped out on the
land or brought from neighboring
mountain streams or lakes, slowly in
creases the total amount of water in
the soil and even in the air (Note:
Riverside, in southern California,
formerly sought by sufferers from pull
lnonary trouble for its dry air, before
orange growing and subsequent irri-
cation was inaugurated on such a
large scale as nowadays, is Stunned
today by the same class Of sufferers
on account of it's having air which
has become heavier and moiSter, es-
peciaily at night time, and growers
there also note that water is much
nearer the surface these last years,
and that less water is needed for irri-
cation than formerly.
3. Large areas being soWn to green
crops and trees planted in groups or
orchards, absorb a great deal OF the
heat of the sun, thereby sending up
relatively cool currents of air which
attract possible rain clouds and force
them to precipitate at least part OF
their surplue moisture. On the other
hand, barren or uncultivated lands
with baked surface send up strongly
heated currents of air, which dispel
