there are several very important
things that should be noted. First
= this board is composed of 16
members and in the changes, ex-
cept one, the board was unani-
nous for a change of books. Sc
cend-all books changed were old
out-of- date texts which has been
in use in the county for 20 to 80
years. 1hird-in nearly every
case the new books cost less in
some cases much less than the
old ones did. For instance the
two new readers cost respectively,
lie and 14c less. The arithmetic
books cost &c and 16c less, the
physioIogies lie and 33c les, ci
vics and gramer 14c less, writing
material 10c les. Careful exami-
nation show that a full set OF the
books needed for use from the be-
ginning to the completion of the
eighth grade is more than 5000.
less than the cost of the old books.
This is saving of just about is
of the cost of full set of books.
When we consider this together
with the fact that the pupils will
receive much more benefit from
the up-to date books, every fair
minded person will approve the
action.

Narrow ESCAPE.

An English couple had a narrow es-
cape In the mountains above Fluelen
near Lucerne, Switzerland, recently.
They lost their way, and the wife fell
$50 feet on to the rocks below. Her
head was severely cut but no bones
were broken. Her husband fell into a
tree, and was lowered into safety by
peasants who came to the assistance
of the pair with ropes. The couple
were taken to the village Of Ried,
where a doctor attended them.

When on October 4th you make your way to the show grounds where the World Famous Kit Carson Buffalo Ranch Wild West.is to exhibit, be sure the first point of interest you make for is the Indian Village. There you will see Indian Chiefs and Warriors of three destinct tribes; Sioux, Conan che and Cheyenne braves with their squaws and opposes, clad in their gaudy, many colored blankets and feathers, living in their historic tepees beading their moccasins and canting the songs of the unforgotten warpath. It is a rare sight indeed to see them just as they exist when on the govern ment reservation, for before many Years the Indians of today will be but a memory They are fast disappear ing and many of us who living today will almost see the last of their kind.
 Among the Indians carried by Kit Carson's Buffalo Ranch Wild West Shows are many noted historical characters, the foremost being Chief Clear To hear this old chief, with the aid of an interpreter, chronicle some of the feats of his youth, of the battles with the blue-coats, the long rail~and the trips to the hunting grounds is indeed interesting and any patron of this exhibition is at liberty to view the Indian from every angle and several interpreters are con stantly at hand to assist the public in conversation with the red men.

DURUM OR MACARONI WHEAT
In Dry Northwest It Has Met With Considerable Favor-It Resists
 Drought SpIendldly.

Durum wheat is generally grown as a spring wheat. In the dry northwest it has met with considerable favor It generally out-yields spring wheat and -esists drought splendidly. The great est objection to growing macaroni wheat in this country has been the lack of market, the mfllers at first discriminating against it. Analyses indicate that Durum wheat has a high value for feeding purposes, being con- siderably richer in protein than or dinary wheat, says the Wallaces' Farmer It is so hard. though, that it must be ground before, being fed We nave reason to suspect that a larger amount of feeding nutrients can be obtained from an acre of Durum wheat in a dry season than from any other spring grain unless 1t be barley or corn.
 Durum wheat does not stool quite as much as ordinary spring wheat, and consequently should be sown a lit. tie thicker. A bushel and half tc two bushels to the acre is about right.

Oriuin of CaponizinG,

It is impossible to say just how long the operation of caponizing has been
 performed. It seems quite certain. however, that the practice was fa- miliar to the Chinese more than 2,000 years ago. Later it was practiced by the Greeks and Romans and, through medieval times, bu the people of mid dle and southern Europe, until in re- cent times, it has been introduced into America At present capons are most universally known and appreciated in France, although within the last few years the business of producing them has advanced rapidly in this country.
