HE WALLOPED THE DOC
New York, Dec. 3O.-When
DR.. Ignatz Schwartz and Under
taker Frank Winter were
brought into court, they brought
with them the first authentic case
of a contract between a doctor
and an undertaken.
Schwartz and Winter were ar
rested after fist fight in Win
ter's morgue, at the end of which
Schwartz managed to fall out of
a window and land on his neck in
a snow drift. He was helped in
this acrobatic act by Winters
toe.
Magistrate Freschi wanted to
know what the trouble had been
about.
"Why, it was this way, judge .
said Schwartz. Il had a contract
with Winter. One of my patients
died. I ran to the telephone and
got Winter on the job embalming
the body right away according to
our contract.
Then l went down to get my
money. Winter gave me SIS, but
my commission should have been
SIS. We got into a fight when
he refused to pay me the other
$40"

Guide to Crater Lake National
Park

Methods of seeing the wonderful
Crater Lake National park in Oregon,
the principal attraction of which is
beautiful lake situated in the crater
of an extinct volcano, are described in
a circular entitled General lnforma-
ton Regarding Crater Lake National
Park" just issued by the Department
of the Interior. This park is situated
on the summit of the Cascade range in
south-central Oregon. 1t has an area
of 159, 800 acres and is located in the
midst of beautiful mountain country,
the principal attraction being Crater
lake, body of water having an area of
2014 square miles water surface) which
is situated in the caldera of an extinct
volcano. The lake is surrounded by
unbroken cliffs which range from 800 to
nearly 1000 feet in height. The color
ing of the water and of the surrounding
cliffs presents some of the most strik-
ing pictures seen in the western noun
tain country. The park is under the
control of the secretary of the interior,
who is represented in the actual admin
istration of the park by a superintend-
ent and limited number of park rang
ers.
This circular, which may be obtained
on application to the secretary of the
interior, contains tourists map of the

a list of books and magazine articles,
and the rules and regulations for the
protection of the reservation.

Room for More People on Farms

Herbert Quick, editor of the Farm
and Fireside, writes an interesting arti-
Gle in the current issue of his periodical
on the causes that are back of the high
cost of living. Following is an extract:
"What we want to know is why
there are not more people on the farms.
have just read in a magazine the eX
planation-th they are all stirred up about
it-that all the available land is taken
up. That is true if fencing, and own
ing, and cut-and-covering is taking up.
But any farmer knows that there is
room for twice, three times, as many
people on the farms as there are now.
| heard MIR. John W. Bookwalter of
Springfield read a paper on this subject
last winter. He called the attention of
his hearers to the rush of people to the
cities as great danger to the world
to civilization.
"He seemed to miss the effect he
himself has had on this matter of the
rush of people to the cities. Mr. Book
walter possesses from 60, 900 to 70, 900
acres of farmland. On this immense
domain there live probably from a
thousand to fifteen hundred people.
This in in Nebraska. In Nebraska,
too, lives Arnold Martin, who on TWEEN
ty-one acres makes money, besides
supporting his family. If the land
owned by Bookwalter were owned by the
men who work it, there would be living
on it three thousand ordinary Nebraska
farm folk, instead of fifteen hundred
people. If it were owned by men like
Arnold Martin, there would be room for
three thousand five hundred families,
or say a population of fifteen thousand
people on this same estate, which now
supports perhaps fifteen hundred peo-
pie on one-half the crops and Mr..
Bookwalter on the other half!
What would be the effect on the
cost of living if every tenant-farmer in
these United States were all at once
changed into an owner of his farm?
Would it not change most of them into
better farmers? 1t surely would. They
would manure more heavily, establish
better rotations, buy fertilizers, cease
skinning the land, begin trying to make
the place adequate to the support not
only of the old folks, but of the chill
dren."

Petition of c. j. Bell Pomona
GRANGE.

The following petition was voted at
the last session of the C. j. Bell Pomona
Grange, No 10;
We respectfully request our next
legislature to give careful consideration
to the question of agricultural educa-
ton.
We commend to their attention the
institution of agricultural courses in
existing high schools and academies, as
in the opinion of our best authorities
the greatest present need along this
line. AS such courses must be ade-
quately equipped and instructed by
teachers properly qualified to teach
agriculture to be successful, we urge
the need of generous appropriations
from the State and competent super
vision by the State.
We ask that the next legislature
make adequate appropriation for gener-
Gus aid to establish and maintain such
courses in at least six communities at
once. so as to test their value, such
communities being selected as shall
indicate their purpose to cooperate with
the State and preference being given to
the more exclusively agricultural COM
munities

the Manti National Forest near Eph-
rain, Utah, for the study of grazing
and water protection problems. In
fact bids for the construction of the
necessary buildings have been received
and it is expected to have the station in
working order before winter. Already
the gathering of observations on the
relations of erosion and run-off to the
forest cover have begun.
The Manti National Forest was chosen
as the site for this experiment station
because it offers exceptionally good
opportunities for investigating prob
lens of practical value in connection
with regulated grazing. Ephraim and
other towns in its neighborhood have
suffered severely from floods following
violent transforms in the mountains,
and it has already been proved con-
clusively that the overgrazed condition
of areas on which the natural vegetative
cover has been seriously altered is
responsible for the formation of tor
rents and the rapid discharge of debris
laden floodwaters. In a recent destruc-
tive storm the water ran clear from a
part of the watershed which was within
the national forest, and in good condi-
ton as a result of well regulated graz
ing, while from other areas it swept
down sand and boulders. One of the
objects of the study will be to learn
how the NAHUM of grazing use of
national forest land can be obtained
without injury to forest reproduction
and stream flow.
The national forests provide range
during part or all of the year for a
considerable part of the stock produced
in the western States. Approximately
one and one-half million head of cattle
and horses and seven and one-half
million head of sheep and goats occupy
the forest lands each year. These
figures do not include nearly three
hundred thousand calves and over foul
million lambs and kids for which per
mits are not required.
The experts of the department be-
lieve that when the ranges which were
denuded by many years of improper use
are restored to a normal condition OF
productivity it will be possible to pro-
vide feed for much larger number Of
stock without injury to forest growths
or watersheds, and both the stock
grower and the consumer of meat pro-
ducts will thus be benefited. Conse,
quently every effort is being made tc
determine practicable means of legen
Grating depleted ranges. All of the
studies which are about to be initiated
have this point in view.

A Montana farmers wife who had
left her "peach-basket" hat in the at
tic from last season, was surprised
when she went to get it for the purpose
of making it over into the new style, to
find that a quail had found access to it
through the open window and appro-
priated it for a nest. Thirteen young
quail greeted the astonished woman
and clamored loudly for food. She gra-
ciously waived her rights, and the baby
birds were left to occupy it until they
grew to maturity and sailed away one
fine morning.

Something happens every day to
prove to US anew that it takes all kinds
of people to make world, says the
Mirror and Farmer. A recent case in
New York police court showed an
unusual species. An aged woman came
to policeman on street corner just
before daybreak, and told him she was
starving. While the officer was inquir-
ing her name she fell to the curb uncon-
scious, and died before an ambulance
could be summoned. Upon her exami-
nation at the morgue $4,000 in bills was
found in her stocking, and pinned to it
was a slip of paper which said: 81 am
Rosa Connolly, IA years old. mo home. }"
The woman had actually starved herself
to death, with money enough to have
assured comfort and plenty for the rest
of her life if properly expended.

1t is more than a little discouraging
to the kindly disposed person, who hon
estly wishes to live up to the require
ments of the Golden Rule, to meet with
the treatment that citizen of neigh
boring city met with recently, says an
exchange. He took pity on a forlorn
man who was roaming the streets, hun
cry and without shelter or means to
procure it, gave him good supper and
a comfortable bed. In the morning he
awoke to find that his guest had de-
parted and taken with him the best suit
of his kind host, with shoes and other
garments complete. 1t takes a par
tcularly mean man to rob person
whose hospitality he is enjoying.
