AVIATOR ATWOOD FALLS
INTO THE ICY WATERS

Lynn, Mass, Jan. when but q

Pines at the start Of his flight to
Portland, Maine. today, Harry N. At
wood met with an accident and fell
into the icy waters with his hydro
aeroplane. He crawled upon the top
OF his machine and at noon was walt
ing for a boat to come to his assist
ance.
When all the arrangements foe the
flight had been completed the engine
was started and the hydro-aeroplane
rose. In turning into the wind a little
water struck the magnet and the en-
CINE stopped. Then the aviator tried
to head the machine into the wind
again but the rudder struck the wa
ter and the apparatus collapsed. At
wood climbed on top Of the aero
plane and looking toward his friends
on shore, waved his hat.
Those on shore rushed for boats
and several small crafts soon were
headed in his direction. They came
none too soon, for as the first one
came up the hydro aeroplane sank In
10 feet OF water. Atwood vas pulled
into boat uninjured.

DRY FARMING FOR
THE GREAT BASIN

Lethbrige, Alberta, Jan. 2.--One OF
the. most valuable and practical re-
ports ever issued for the benefit of
the dry farmers in Oregon. Washing
ton, Idaho. Utah and other states on
the north Pacific coast and in the
great basin has just been published by
the International Dry-Farming Con
sress, whose next great convention
and exposition will be held here In
October, 1919. II Is a committee re-
port on drouth resistant crops, the
section referred to being covered by
Prob. f. D. Farrell Of the United
States department of agriculture.
Prof. Farrell states that the cereal
crops are those In which most de-
pendence can be placed throughout
all of this great area. Wheat is first
In importance. Winter wheat, espec-
tally Turkey Red, is invariably prefer
able to the spring varieties in the
great basin. Winter oats are promis-
ing but not dependable. and winter
barley Is also reasonably sure. Win
ter emmer for stock feed, rye for late
fall and early spring pasture and as
a grain crop, alfalfa for soil improve.
ment and for forage, bronze grass for
pasture, the sorghums for forage at
attitudes below $500 feet, broom corn
at attitudes below 1900 feet, and po
tatoes on small fields are especially
recommended for the dry farms OF
this region. Many years Of experience
have demonstrated that spring oats
spring barley, spring wheat, corn. flax
Canada peas and sugar beets are not
desirable nor successful crops in the
great basin, except in limited and es
pecially favorable areas.
In Washington, Oregon and northern
Idaho, however, spring wheat, espec
tally variety called Washington
Bluestem. does well, and cow peas, SOY
beans, brown kowlaing, white kafii
corn and milo maize are also crops tc
be usually depended on.
TOO many farmers" says the re
port, ARE inclined to look to new and
strange crops for easy success. II
should be remembered that the crops
which have been grown the Longest
in any locality are usually best able
to withstand the unfayorable condi
tons common to that locality. Fol
that reason it is we'll for farmers Il
be extremely cautious in the matter o
trying new crops, and not to purchase
large quantities of foreign seed a

NEEDS TREATMENT

When child sulks drowsily, or is
iretful, It is usually due to- some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and
mild laxative is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy Of spirits.
In cases where the use of gentle,
effective laxative stimUlant ID indi-
Gated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive In its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver aud bowels. It's easy,
natural action makes 1t especially de-
sirable in the case of children, a dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in soc and
$1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy, write to d.. w.
