Continued Stories,

The leader who presides at this game
should have a little desk bell and a
handkerchief or ball. To begin the
fun he taps the bell and then losses a
handkerchief to some other member of
the circle This person must catch the
handkerchief and promptly begin an
original story. which may consist of
any nonsensical rambling narrative
that the inspiration of the moment sug
gests. At the expiration Of few min
utes the bell rings again, and the lead
er Ito whom the handkerchief has
meanwhile been returned) losses it to
another player, who must take up the
story at the point where it left off and
continue it still further. Again the bell
rings and again the handkerchief is
thrown until all the players have re-
lated a bit of the continued story and
usually until some narrator has brought
It to something which will pass for
conclusion. All those who cannot con-
tinue the narrative when their turn
comes must pay forfeits.

Sunday afternoon 1 saddled sgAn and started for Patagonia. I turn ed down into the Worlds Fair camp and visited there a little while. Mir. and Mrs. Powers had returned from California the preced- ing week, and were at home. MT. Hamilton and assistants, sent over by the Copper Queen folks at Bis bee, pending the deal mentioned last week, were busy, in and out of the mine.
 Leaving the Worlds Fair I took across the mountain with an inten- ton of making for the Basin, to visit with George Wieland. It was hard climb to the top of the ridge, but when 1 got there the beautiful panorama spread before me was worth the effort. The billowy hills extended on all sides, and in the far distance the Huachuca noun tains stood out clear and distinct, gorgeously illuminated in the rays of the fast declining sun. So taken was with the view that 1 failed to perceive the trail leading off to the left that 1 should have followed to get into The Basin. and presently I found myself on the heights over looking Harshaw. 1 dropped down into the road which passes one side of the camp, and skated along to- ward Patagonia which place l reached shortly after dark, receiv- ing a cordial welcome from MT. and Mrs. w. H. Barnett, at the Com mercial Hotel, one of the best kept hostelries in Arizona, which is do- ing fine business.
 Monday morning l visited about Patagonia, and shortly before noon started for Nogales, over the road that is familiar to readers of THE OASIS, already, which was traversed without incident or accident.

wAysIDE NOTES.
[continued from page II

Perry Wilson, one of the home steaders in the San Rafael valley, whose ranche is about two miles down the draw, had raised this year fine crops of beans, corn, potatoes and other crops. Mir. Wilson was troubled greatly by grasshoppers, which threatened to destroy his beans. He wrote to the Department of Agriculture at Washington, sending specimens of the insects, and asking recom- mendation of a remedy. The department returned reply that the grasshoppers sent are of the variety designated as "lubbers," having no wings and being unable to travel any distance. It was stated farther that if killed off a few seasons the pest would be eliminated entirely. There was enclosed in the communication a prescription of dope" to kill the insects, it being mixture of bran, Paris green, flour and sugar. Scattered along the rows of hills where the beans were growing the hoppers left the plants to feed upon the dope, with fatal effect. Within three days all had disappeared and MT. Wilson saved his crop, getting a heavy harvest. Were more of our farmers to emulate the course followed by MT. Wilson and appeal to the department of agri' culture in their difficulties, there would be no doubt far greater saving in crop raising and more successful elimination of pests of all kinds.
 Sunday forenoon 1 passed in looking over the ground on which 1 was to report and visiting in the neighborhood. saw Mir. and Mrs Orton Phelps, Mir. James Gun ningham and MT. Louis Koehler at Mowry.
