compared to what was formerly
asked for the work, when everyone
was anxious to get his land ready
for the plow.
1t is to your interest to have this
work done at the earliest possible
time that your conditions will allow,
and there are good reliable farmers
here to do it. Mr.. r. S. Frazer,
the president of the Farmers q
Merchants State Bank, has kindly
consented to look after your inter
ests in this matter without any cost
to you, and if you are contemplate
ing doing anything this winter, and
will give him some idea of what
you want done, he will give you all
the information desired, or you can
address any Of the officers of the
Farmers Association, who will look
after your interests with equal care.
As your land now lays it is sim
ply an expense to you, but put into
alfalfa or some other equally paying
crop it will not only increase the
value of it ten fold, but will place
it in IL condition to demand II ready
sale, besides yielding you yearly
revenue. Think this over carefully
and act accordingly. Every yea
sees hundreds of acres of the sage
brush give way to fields of grain o.
hay by the hand of the settler or
the tract, who realizes that this i
the only way to make his land ;
dividend paying proposition, an'
his confidence in the future of thi
great tract should be shared b.
every nonresident land holder.
Any communications addresses
to the TINES will also receive care
full attention.

The Rupert Pioneer Record in its
last issue very forcibly points out the
necessity for the maintaining of the
Water Users Union, as it states that
there is more need of it at the pres
ent time than ever before, a. ques-
tions of vital Importance are con-
stantly coming up, and will continue

settled. The same argument can he
successfully used on the North Side
tract, and it may he further stated
that the work of the Association
here has Just begun. Setting aside
the mutual benefits that may be de-
rived from an organization such as
the Farmers Assn, the future has
much work in store for the member.
of this organization. The one great
question which will soon come he
fore the settlers on the tract will b'
the transfer of the canal system It
these settlers, when the need OF th'
organization will be most keenl,
felt. The history of the south sid'
and the litigation resulting from tn
transfer of an uncompleted system
to the settlers, should be kept il
the minds of all on this tract, an'
a strong organization kept up tina
proper steps may he taken to pre-
vent repetition of this history
Individually the settler is powerless
but with strong organization cap
ably and conservatively managed
much good can be accomplished.

COMPELLED HIM TO KISS FLAG
Old Soldier Furnishes Man Who Tore
Down Stars and Stripes.

Los Angeles.-Samuel Astay, wearing
the button of the Industrial Workers of
the World, declaring himself socialist
supporter of Hartman for mayor and
posing as a police officer, tore down an
American flag at one of the Alexander
headquarters. G. J. johnson, an old
man and veteran of two wars, saw
the dissertation and called Astay to ac-
count Astay told the ex-soldier the
red flag is as good as the Stars and
Stripes, whereupon johnson ordered
him to replace the flag and to kiss it.
Astay demurred and the war veteran
forced him to do as he ordered. Then
Astay attacked johnson and was given
a terrible trouncing on the street.
johnson went about his business and
left the anarchist lying on the curbing
bleeding.

Wild SiIkworms.

The world is indebted to the Chi.
nese for the discovery of the virtues
OF the silkworm. Its product was un-
known in Rome until the time of Ju-
Illus Caesar. and so costly was the ma
terial that even the emperor Aurelian
refused a dress of this lustrous fabric
to his empress. Now 1t is nurtured
in almost every country. and its prod
ucts are within the reach of all. Be
sides the several domesticated spe
cies. there is a wild silkworm found
in Central America, which weaves a
bag-like structure two feet in depth,
that hangs from the trees. AT a dis
lance the nest resembles a huge mat
ted cobweb. The insect makes no CO
coon. but weaves the silk in layers
and skeins around the inside of the
nest From Tegucigalpa there were
sent to England some years ago about
six pounds Of this silk. There 1t was
made into handkerchiefs. not easily
detected from common silk Of equal
strength and delicate texture.

Tho First Yacht ownsr.

The dictum that woman is at the
bottom Of everything applies certain
ly to the pastime of yachting, for it
was Elizabeth Chudleigh, afterwards
Duchess of Kingston, who was the
first private yacht owner in Great
Britain. The duchess was clever as
well as amazing" and it was fully
in keeping with her originality and
independence OF character that she
should have started the first yacht
In doing SO she set a fashion which,
fifty years later, had become a soci-
ETY. craze, and has since developed
into the finished and graceful sport as
we understand It all over the world
today.

An interesting incident OF the war
in France in 1870 is recalled by the
death OF M. These, which took place
lately at Barbecue. During the war
with Germany, M. These was agent
OF the Bank of France at Barbecue.
When the enemy was within measur-
able distance of the town he had In
his safes 100000. The banks agents
one idea was to prevent this treasure
getting into the hands of the enemy.
He packed his securities and money
in bags and succeeded. just as the
Prussians were entering the town,
in leaving 1t with his valables by rail.
The next day the whole amount wss

The statement that the light Of fire
flies and other phosphorescent ami
mails is produced without any sensible
degree of heat has often been re-
peated without any information as to
the quantity of heat that would be
required to produce a similar amount
of heat by artificial methods. This
information is supplied by Professor
Mcintosh. He says that a tempera-
ture approaching 1000 degrees Fair
enheit would be necessary to make a
light equivalent to that emitted by an
ordinary freely. The enormous waste
of energy in all industrial methods of
producing light is a matter Of COM
mon knowledge, and the example Of
the freely remains unimitated by man.
The very simplicity of the mechan-
ism employed by nature in phosphor-
escent animals is battling.
