Naples, Cal.-President Taft and his
party had a narrow escape from sud
den and spectacular death as result
of the Illustration of a plot 10 dyna-

the presidential special passed ell

The center of the span had been
primed with charge OF thirty-six
sticks of dynamite, by two mo- who

Instead they took to their heels.
The watchman, drawing his revol-

A dispatch from Carlsbad to the
New York World states that Ameri-
can women, as usual, are the queens
of fashion at that famous watering
place, and proceeds TO name a num-
ber who are particularly noted for
their stylish dresses. The West fig
ures in the list quite as conspicuous
ly as the East. The dispatch states
that Carlsbad has been very gay this
season and more crowded than 1t has
been in 40 years. Back in 1878 the
place was packed TO overflowing by
$4,000 visitors. Already this season
the number OF arrivals has exceeded
10000. OF course accommodations are
Increased year by year, but they do
not keep pace with the rush. From
these statistics there is an opportu-
nifty to measure the extent to which
the wealth of Germany as well as the
habit Of foreign travel among Amer
leans has grown.

SOIL CONSERVATION.

In the last decade covered by cen
sus reports the average acre devoted
TO wheat in the United States pro-
duced 1876 bushels year. Austria. In
the same period, produced II bushels
per acre, France, 1913. Germany 27.6
and the United Kingdom 1922. In the
same decade our average yield OF
oats was less than 80 bushels per acre,
while Great Britain's was AZ and Ger
many's 46. For barley the figures are
25 bushels per acre, as compared with
33 for Germany and 34.6 for Great
Britain. Comparisons similarly unfa-
vorable to our agricultural progress
might be presented at wearisome
length, says the Ohio State Journal.
Nearly all show that our boasted soil
Is giving poorer results than the hard
worked farm lands of European coun-
tries. It is not the soils fault 1t Is
because we have neglected the con-
servation of our soil, just as we have
neglected the conservation OF our for
ests and our other natural resources.
We have been forever taking some
thing out and putting nothing back.
AS James j. Hill, who is heart and
soul for better farming because he
wishes his great granger railroad In
terests to pay better, says our agri-
culture is in the condition OF bank
whose depositors are steadily drawing
out more than they put In.
