The Other Good for Nothing

In the little sequestered country
town, where the court of justice is
over the general store and where the
judge is an old, grizzled farmer,
thoroughly familiar with pitching hay
and milking cows, but having a very
limited knowledge of the law, the
prisoner had pleaded mot guilty to
a charge of burglary. The lawyer of
the prosecution was endeavoring to
show the court that the accused was
a man of low character.
what were you doing the night be-
fore the robbery" he questioned Sc
verely.
81 was playing pinochle with Jed
Parker and another fellow" answered
the prisoner evasively.
"Ah, | thought so,' shouted the
lawyer triumphantly. playing cards,
and with that loafer, Jed Parker!
Gambling and in bad company. But
you mention a third party, sir. Who
was the other good-for- nothing?"
The prisoner hesitated.

"Wa-al, sir, if ye must know" said
the accused, sit was the judge here"

"CLEAN DESIGN" u.s.
in MOTOR BUILDING

Motorists throughout the United
States have expressed unqualified APP
prevail of the doctrine voiced by How
ard e. Coffin, a leader of American
automobile engineering practice, when
in London on Wednesday he told the
| international conclave of engineers
that "clean design means the expan-
sion of the automobiles field of use
| fulness.
Ernest Schneider, the Hudson deal
err, from a thorough acquaintance with
conditions in his local territory, yes
| terday stated that motoring requi-
sites make logical Mr. CoHin's state
ments. Mr.. Schneider said that mo-
| florists themselves have been the cause
of the approach of 'clean design"
simplicity is what motorists want
! in a car. Freedom from the clutter
of rods and other parts that can be
dispensed with by application of the
highest principles of engineering prac-
| tice is the desire of the wise motorist
That engineering trend most certainly
will enlarge the automobiles field. for

| 1t makes for minimum upkeep c/st
and allows the automobile owner to
be master of his own car. l can find
no better example than with the Self
Starting Hudson "33," which was de-
/ signed by Mr.. Coffin. He has found
| it possible, by application of his en-
cheering knowledge, to build a won
derful car with nearly a thousand
fewer parts 1t is like tearing away
the useless scaffolding of a building
Every Hudson owner is today getting
maximum enjoyment out of his big
noiseless, simple, accessible car and Is
freed of heavy upkeep cost. which
think is as good evidence as can be
given toward the big idea in engineer
| ing practice-'clean design"
| Mr.. Schneider, the Hudson dealer
in whose showrooms Howard e. Cof-

ed that even to the cars self-starter

WORKING CAPITAL
Many Farmers Attempt TO Work Too
Much Land

Many farmers are land poor The
hunger for a broad eXpanse of acres
has induced them to invest so much
! of their capital in land that they
have not the means to cultivate it
properly. The lure of speculation
is too strong for them to resist The
policy of burying money in land and
waiting for years of development to
enhance its value to wealth making
proportions does not now offer the
promises of duplicating the successes
of the last half century The per
centage of increase in value on land
at 500 to 5000 an acre can scarcely
be so great in the next fifty years
as ii has already been on raw land
bought that long ago at $1.25 to $40
an acre.
No other business could support so
much idle capital as some farmers
have in land. Every acre should be
producing an annual income. If the
yearly returns do not cover expenses
and leave fair rate of interest on
the value of the land som ething Is
radically wrong with its management.
Farm land should yield both interest
and profit. The idea that land is the
Iall-important foundation for success
full farming has been unduly magni-
fed in this country. A canvass OF
farm practices has been made by the
Department of Agriculture which
shows that when the land is inten-
sively farmed it requires about as
much capital in buildings, tools and
live stock as in land.
1t takes some brains to use this
varied equipment economically and eff
ficiently; but it pays. A soil of fair
fertility may yield meager living
for cropper who puts a minimum
of work into 1t. Soil, air, water and
the stimulating sunlight will do some
thing If given half a chance. The
average crop yields of this country
are about half the size of those OBJ
tanned by the best farmers, showing
that too many fields are left largely
to natures none too tender mercies.
The man who runs his farm instead
of letting it run him is the one who
secures big crops, good annual re-
turns on his capital invested in land
and equipm ent, and the most rapid
| increase in the value of his land The
brains he puts into his farm work
help to make his land productive,
and the result is made "A tangible as
set by the popular tendency to credit
| it mainly to soil fertlity.--Breeders
Gazette.

Mckee Well District

r. j. Logan of Seattle. who was in
North Yakima Tuesday and Wednes-
day made trip into the Mckee where
a number of ranchers are cultivatine
orchards using as irrigation water
raised by electricity from drilled
wells. He says they are doing ex-
cellently. In one instance where a
man has a forty-acre tract of excel
lent young trees he is raising water
over $50 feet and says he finds II
satisfactory and feasible. Mr.. Logar
told of tract after tract that is being
cared for in that way and he said
also that there are $4,000 acres which
might be so cultivated which are now
lying idle.

THE GOOD LAYER
II is Not Necessarily the Hen That
That Takes the Prizes

The head of fowl will indicate
much respecting as good or bad lay
ing capabilities. The head of the
good layer is long and slender. often
too long for the breed it represents
when judged by the Standard require
ments The eye set in such head Is
bold, sparkling. fun OF life and as
keen and piercing as a hawks The

close fitting hackle. The head of the
drone is short and thick and 1t fur

is set on a neck both thick and tiabby
and is covered by loose hackles
Any Mediterranean breed of fowl
possessing a long. lean head will
produce more eggs than one OF it's
own breed possessing thick short
head. and the same remarks apply
| equally to the Asiatic breeds and their
allies. Another point that is indica-
tive of the good layer Is the lengthy
back it possesses. have never yet
handled a short-b backed fowl that
could pay for enough salt to season
its food.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. IL
Colonel Hugh l., Scott, commander OF
the Third cavalry, United States army
is the man who is believed to know
more about Indian ways and talk than
any other in the United States. That
is why he has been selected by the
government to adjust the differences
with the Hopi Indians of Arizona.
The Indians know Colonel Scott as
"Mol. Tequop." which means "He
talks with his hands" He has served
several times as ambassa dor to va
rious indian tribes. always with sue
cess.
Colonel scott has a long army rec
ord and has been governor of the SulA

high and 80 feet long, occupying the
centre of the northern section of the
exhibit
Aside from the staple food products
which form the largest part of this
collection many of the curiosities of
the Land Show can be found on the
Fourth avenue side of the Garden. All
the western contestants for national
honors have featured their alfalfa ex-
hibits The Northern Pacific has
gone one better, and besides boosting
alfalfa as the best fodder for cattle
can prove that 1t is good for human
consumption. Alfalfa tea is one of
the latest inventions in the way of
beverages, and a loaf of alfalfa bread,
which looks a good deal like graham
bread and tastes somewhat like it, is
on exhibition there.
Train Composed of Sugar
Another prominent feature is a
miniature train from the commissary
departm ent of the road composed en-
tirely of sugar. 1t is nearly ten feet
long and is lighted by electricity. 1t
is mounted on a track and represents
the North Coast Limited emerging
from Cascade Tunnel. Still another
is a trademark six and half feet
square made entirely of seeds of va
rious grains.
The one exhibit that the Northern
Pacific has been unable to get into
the Garden is the 100 acres of Mon
tana land that will be given away by
public allotment Friday. This land
was given nv President Elliott of the
road and is valued at $4,000. 1t is
the chief prize in the free farm con-
test at the Garden.

Details of Development
Some of the details of this devel-
opment are interesting, in view of the
magnitude of the project, which is 10
Gated on Okanagan Lake. The water
will be conveyed to the land in con-
crete pipes and galvanized iron fumes,
so there will be no loss from seepage.
Twenty-Five miles of woven-wire fence
surrounds the tract, which is to be
cut into five, ten and twenty-acre
acre tracts, considerable of which has
| been sold in eastern Canada. Last
spring 900 acres were put under Gull
tivation and next spring 1000 more
will be reclaimed from sagebrush and
put into fruit. The work of planting
