ing his best, of course. One strike
had been called on him and, as usual
in baseball anecdotes, two men were
out and the bases were full. Our
hero was gathering his strength for
the swat he was going to give the
ball. And the ball came. He knew
it was his as the ball started, and
with a mighty crack he lifted it into
space. Dropping his bat, he sped for
first, and ere the roar of applause
burst out, a slight woman in the
g~randstand rose and called: "Wih,

L0BSTERS WERE CHEAP
In Old Maine Days e Bought Several
Hundred az Feed for
the Pigs.

The lobster was not always the
a%ristocrat Of the supper table and
the most costly of delicacies. A man
who used to live in Maine, but now
lives in Ohio, has this Renaissance,
according to a writer in the Cleve-
land Leader:
One day here in Cleveland l took
a friends out to luncheon and sud-
denly the old appetite for lobster
came back to both of us, al we were
both born on the Maine coast.
We had two full portions and the
bill was So. And yet as a boy I've
seen my father standing on the wharf
bargaining with a fisherman for his
lobster catch of the day, and often,
for So, I've seen the lobster fisher
man turn over to my father the en-
tire catch and the whole boatload-
$50 or 800 big, black Holsters, per-
haps-would be dumped on the land
ing and taken back on our old farm
as feed for the pigs.

For cleaning and like uses there is
nothing SO helpful as an abundance Of

is a concrete cistern. The chief ad-

them are wholly ignorant Of the re-

and home making. A lecture once
each week in our schools, colleges and

Organized for the purpose of develop
ing the agricultural resources of Humboldt
Valley by conservation and use of the
waste and unused waters.
Ten years ago, the U. s. Geological
Survey said there was sufficient water in
the valley to irrigate 10000 acres of land.
Today, the Commissioner of Industry,
Agriculture and Irrigation says there are
only $4,000 acres of land under irri-
CATION in the valley.
The profits that will return from recla-
nation Of even part of that extra land
for which there IS water will be very large.
This Is the largest and most important
irrigation project in Nevada, and about the
only large one left in the United States not
exploited.
The returns to stockholders will be very
large, and land owners and present water
users who take stock will receive benefits
not granted under any other project.

ested In the future prosperity of Humboldt
