VOLCANO IS ACTIVE
Disturbance Is Most Violent Ever Re-
~ corded In Alaska.


Seward, Alaska.-Like a phantom
ship, in her white covering of ashes,
the mailship Dora steamed slowly into
the harbor here from the westward,
bringing details of the great eruption
Of Mount Katmai.
The appearance of the Dora testiies
to the hail of ashes which she encoun-
tered and passengers and crew re-
count thrillingly their narrow escape
from death by asphyxiation as the
steamer fed through the binding rain
OF ashes to safety.
The volcanic disturbance is the most
violent ever recorded in Alaska. 1t is
estimated that an area of 800 square
miles, much of it fertile territory, has
been covered to a depth of several
by the volcanic ash.

Grass crops are cut early, before
weeds can mature seed. The culti-
waited crops, If properly handled, do
not allow weeds to seed. In this way
a good system Of rotation grad
ually rids the land of all of the
ordinary weeds.
The rotation of crops aids greatly
In handling farm labor by d~istribut-
ing labor throughout the season,
and making it possible to employ
help, either in growing the crops or
in caring for the live stock.

THE SIXTH
SENSE
By Fred Fitch

"Ah, dear friends, we must not for
get that we are only an infnitesmal
part Of it. Remember" and the speak
ers voice sank to an impressive whis-
per. Thoughts are Things"
He paused and waited ~expectantly
for the chorus of adulation, which i'm
mediatoly arose.
"Be-yew-te-ful," simpered an angu-
lar female. Such a be-yew-te-ful
thought"
$50 refreshing. Such an original
ldea." echoed another, glazing vindic-
lively at the preceding speaker. and
then turning a beatific smile upon the
man on the rostrum.
John Wilcox, star reporter for the
Transcript, DTowling about in search
OF news, had inadvertently stumbled
upon a meeting of the New Cult.
This was a society recently organ
ICED for the cultivation of the SIXTH
sense. the godlike quality which, If de-
veloped to its highest possibilities,
gave the fortunate possessor the key
to, not only the secrets of this mate
rial world, but the mysteries of the
vast universe beyond,
"A SCOOP" breathed John softly, and
then stood quietly observing the as
sembled old men, passe women, sim
pering maidens and callow youths who
were listening with rapt attention to
the drivel Of the greasy individual on
the platform.
The speaker rambled on. And now,
dear companions, we will listen to a
little effusion of mine. A mere trifie,
and he waved his fat hand deprecat-
lngly, AN ethereal child of the mag
nation; an ~allegory on that mystic
symbol, the lotus flower.
Our astral guide. Saintess Iris,
will favor us. 1t Is especially fitting"
he continued with a deep sigh of con-
tentment, that such a pure thought
should be disseminated through the
spiritual medium of our lead Iris.'
And at a sign from him a white robed
figure glided from the doorway at the
side of the stage.
At sight Of this apparition John
sank weakly into a convenient chair.
"Jfminety," he calculated finally,
when he had recovered from the first
shock Of establishment, "what is that
goddess doing here?" And he gazed
disgustedly around the dirty hall.
He listened eagerly to the ripping
tones as she recited the imbecilic Gre
alton that the author had referred to

%entranced until the oily voice Of her
companion aroused him from his rev
erie.
"Ah, dear associates" he was say.
Ing, "how appropriate is the name OF
our sanity Iris. the rainbow OF our
hopes. the celestial medium through
which We know realms beyond" and
he grasped her reluctant hand and led
her to the front of the platform.
John noted her gesture of repulsion
as the pudgy hand closed over hers.
The dirty scoundrel," he muttered
savagely, I'll expose him and run him
out of town.
Absorbed in wondering contempla-
ton of her remarkable beauty he paid
no further attention to the vague va
porings of the man and was unaware
that the meeting was drawing to a
close. 1t was only when she disap-
peared and her companion hurried
down the aisle toward him that he
realized he was caught.
He met the beady, suspicious eyes
of the man squarely, however. and
coolly advanced toward him with out.

"Ah," said the lecturer as he took
the proffered hand hesitatingiy, "a

Yes answered John calmly. 'T

his hand indefinitely toward a nearby

The face Of the questioner cleared.

What is Crop Rotation.

The rotation Of crops is one Of
= simplest and most practical ways

THE rotation of crops is the alter

tm crops; namely, grain crops so
ut a crop from each of the three
uses will appear on each field at
kst once during the cycle of the

Men That Do women's Work.

Among some Of the American Indi-
an tribes Of the southwestern United
States, says a writer in Wide World
Magazine, there is a curious custom
OF men occasionally assuming the
work Of women as a life occupation.
This. when 1t occurs, is voluntarily un-
dertaken, and seems to be due to a
preference for feminine labors, the
sinking his identity as far as pos
slble by assuming woman's garb.
