Even out-of-door workers are often
misled regarding the temperature Of
the air or the amount of rainfall dur
ing a shower. Some days seem warm
when the thermometer reads compare
lively low, and others cool, although
the temperature may be much higher.
The thermometer alone can be de-
pended upon to give the true tenn
perature.
No matter how good a thermometer
may be, it will not indicate the true
temperature of the air unless it is
properly exposed. The variations in
temperature reported by neighbors in
discussing how cold or how warm 1t
was at a given time are more fire.
~quently due to lack of uniformity in
the exposure of the instruments than
to errors in the instruments them
selves or to actual differences in tenn
perature at the various locations.
In n proper exposure the therraom-
eter should be protected from the di-
rect rays of the sun as well as from
the reflected heat Of payements, walls,
etc, and at the same time should re-
ceive a free circulation of air all
around ii. If the sun shines upon the
thermometer, the glass portions and
the mercury are heated above the
temperature of the surrounding air.
In the same way the heat from the
side of a building or from the surface
Of the ground may make the Their
moIneter warmer than the free air.
The best place to expose a thermom-
eter is in the center of a slat-sided
box, two or three feet on a size, with
a door opening to the north and hav-
in ga double root with an air space
between as shown in the Illustration.
In case such . shelter cannot be Sc
cured or constructed, the next best ex-
posture is on tie north wall OF a build
ing where the instrument will be pro
lected as much as possible from the
SUMS rays and from the heat of sur
rounding objects.

Alfalfa Exhibit Will be Large.

All the things learned about alfalfa
In the last five years would make a
gigantic volume if compressed into
a book. The wonderful plant has
come TO be one of the most important
of the farm crops and has been put
to many uses not generally known.
Everything which it is possible to
demonstrate about alfalfa is to be
shown by one of the great railroad
companies in "A comprehensive exhib.
hibit being planned for the Western
Land Products Exhibit 10 be held in
Omaha. January 18th to 18th.
Those who are working on the eX-
hibit are the same experts who col
lectod the varieties and the alfalfa
from the different sections for the
alfalfa palace at the National CORN
Exposition. Eyer since the corn shoH
has done so mmuch to deyelope the
alfalfa industry.
Besides the plants and seeds of diff
feront varieties, grown in widely Sc
parated regions, the products of the
plant will be shown by the M. c. pc
ters Mill Company Of Omaha. a CON
Germ which has helped to build up an
industry out of handling the alfalfa
grown in the west, and which has
done much to make a strong mar
ket for the crop. This mill does a
one million dollar business annually
in alfalfa products, supplying the food
in condensed form for the great east
ern dairy companies which in turn
supply the milk and cream Of wash.

How the plant is handled from the
seed to the feed barns of the east

WHAT IS THE LAND SHOW,

This question has been squarely PHI
to almost every western governor, &c
state boards of agriculture and com.
mereial organizations interested as
we'll as to railroad companies in the
west.
Answering the question for these
public men that they might reply and
show inquirers why their states
are interested, the promoters of the
enterprise say it depends Oh what a
man or woman wishes to do and
where they live. The Land Show
will be different to different classes
of people.
For instance, If a farmer lives in
the corn belt the show will teach him
how to raise more corn, how to test
and select the seed, how to keep up
the land, how to prevent hog chol-
era and combat insect pests.
If a man is looking for a chance TO
invest money, the Land Show will
point out where the best opportuni-
ties are located In the western states.
The exhibits shown will tell where
the opportunities fer investment are
to be found.
IL a farmer wants to move, the
Land Products exhibit will show
where the best locations are Tor new
homes, whore developed farms and
bearing orchards are offered for sale;
where new projects are placing thous-
ands of acres ON the market and
where free government homesteads
may still be secured.
If a man or womman only wants to
see the west, they can see it undor
one roof in Omaha. Jan. Is to Is, al
this Land SHOW. It is a place 10
learn all about the lands OF the west
1t is a chance to get a genuine con
ception of the producing ability and
character of the various sections west
Of the Missouri river.
The exhibit is of interest to the
western people and is supported by
them because it is a boost for the
west not for the south, the cana.
dian northwest or the old eastern
lands, but for Nebraska, Wyoming.
Utah. Colorado, Idaho, Montana.
and the states whore the greatest
opportunities really are.

election is causing SOME talk as 10
the kind Of complexion the spring
election should assume. II "A time
like the present. when everything
points so directly towards a larger
and more complicated city adminstra-

bigger issues that relate to the sit

mitted To come up. The voters Of
Falls City should rise above partyism
and move solidly for the strongest
and most efficient administration pos
sible. Our proposition just now is TO
make adequate provision for a lar
ger city with wider interests and moi
complex relations. The issues over
which this town has been quarrelhng
for a are not the ones upon
which we should permit ourselves TO
be s%idetracked. We trust that past

Realizing his dependence upon
weather conditions, the farmer should
know what warmth of soil is neces.
sary TO start termination and the
amount of heat and moisture required
later to bring the crop TO successful
maturity. Beginning with this knowl-
edge, the need OF actual observations
through the use Of accurate instru-
ments follows in natural sequence,
that he may be able to determine how
nearly the weather conditions expe-
rieuced are measuring up to the ideal.
Such records cannot be made, how
ever, without the aid of good instru-
ments, since the senses are more or
less unreliable as weather recorders.

GREAT FILMS ARE
 SHOWN AT THE ] K

Four of the best motion pictures seen in Bisbee for a long time were shown at the o K theater last night and will be on the program until the end of the week.
 Perhaps the best film was "The Baseball Boomers" a comedy on baseball. It is a roar from start to finish. showing a bunch of happy college girls who have received a challenge from the boys of another college to play a game The girls get their beaus and tell them of the game and propose that the boys don boomers and go into the game. This they do and strike out the boys team one by one, winning the game by the score of to o. The boys finally learn the trick, but it is then too late.
 The first picture is "The Noble Heart" r. shows scene of 2 country youth and his sweetheart and the youth leaves for the city tr seek his fortune. When he arrive he falls in love with a beautiful cit girl, but she repels his advances having another lover Shortly she receives a note from her lover tel ing her to call everything off, an she tries 10 commit suicide in df spair by turning on the gas. IT. country lad comes along and hear her cries and rescues her just i- time. In the meantime the countrv sweetheart of the boy comes to town and finds the city girl and her for mer lover in each others arms, Shr appeals to the city girl for her lover, and the former, knowing what it is to lose a sweetheart. gives hin back to the former girl sweetheart.
 John Milton" pertains to the times of Charles II. It shows Milton and his reform party in power and Charles II and his followers in meeting in a wine cellar. A youns royalist is in love with Milton's daughter and therein is entwined a happy romance in which finally Mil ton is saved when the royalists come into power. This picture should be seen to be appreciated.
 "As You Sow Is a tragic picture showing a young college youth re turning home from college full Of life and vigor. When he arrives home he is struck by the beauty of the maid and falls in love with her. The passion is of short duration, however. and a child born is sent to the orphans home after the mother commits suicide. Sixteen years later the youth is married hap pily and his wife sends for govern ess. who is his daughter. The meet ino is dramatic in the extreme.
 The O K theater is deservedly Eopular with the neonle and the house is crowded nightly.
