dressed in a Suit of red FLANNEL,
which was cut off at the knees. "A
white fringe was sewn around the
bottom of each leg and a high FOOLS
cap was placed upon his head In
This ridiculous garb, Lopez was
marched from the town to the peni-

INTENSIVE FARMING.

American farmers have much to
learn, if they ever decide that it lis
desirable to learn it, with regard to
intensive cultivation,
United States Consul Robert Fras-
er, Jr., of Valencia, Spain, has writ
ten to the State Department to the
effect that in the Province of Valen-
cia families subsist ON the produce of
four-tenths of an acre OF land and
that as many as 100 families live ON
100 acres. The cultivation is by
hand, little machinery being used ,and
the land is officially valued at an
average of $656 an acre. Rainfall
being insufficient, irrigation is nee
essary, but the production is enor-
nous, amounting to more than 1,O0O,-
0G0 metric tons of oranges, olives,
grapes, and other crops.
IN view of such figures as these,
ore is tempted to ask why there Is
any cry of a land famine? The gov

while in others dit has reduced the

Undoubtedly the rush to Canada
is largely misguided. 1t has been in
duced by active advertising on the
part of Canada, and by more liberal
regulations for the taking up Of land
Many Americans who have precipi

HOW INDIANS REckoNED TIME

Certain of the reservation Indians
still cling to the calendar of their an
cestors. The Indian method was to
compute time by sleeps and moons.
A sleep lis twenty y-four hours, and a
moon is a month. There lis also q
midnoOn where the sun lis at Il
o clock, meridian. This hour is in-
dictated by pointing overhead.
When an Indian pointed quarter
way UP the sky he meant 9 O'Clock,
and when he pointed quarter way
down he meant 3 O'Clock. Sunrise
was the eastern horizon and sunset
the western. Night was indicated by
holding the hands together palms
downward, stretching out the arms
and holding the body and head beL'.
forward
When there was moon the time
was indicated i'm the same way as
was the sun. Were am Indian asked
the distance to a certain place, or
how far he had come, he would say
so many sleeps on days travel. A
sleep, as describing distance, was
about thirty-five miles when walk
ing deliberately, Or from fifty tO
seventy five miles, if going in haste
with a message.

Without entering into the partisan
bitterness and taking no account Of
the charges Of breach of faith and
the assertion Of merit it must be adj
mtted that a great injustice was

on the hopes of being the permanent

signed to the end that it is an ideal
place for the location. The atmos,
phere Of genteel capital life that pre-

contradiction to the metropolitan air
OF the larger town. State capitals,
like state universities do better in
the smaller town The most impor-
tant function Of a state capital Is a
place for legislature to meet and
il must be admitted by all who have
witnessed any sessions in Oklahoma
City that the body would have been
much better off sitting in Guthrie.
In Guthrie there were no lures, such
as the larger city affords, and more
time was spent on the states busl-
ness in one week at that place than
since the removal The constitutions

ture, two of the best bodies that have
