arrived home last Friday evening,
from a four-m onths' sojourn on the

Mower has decided that California
once more. Like many other Delta
can in no way compare with this
state.
Every man ought to have an acre
of land with three-quarters of it de-
voted to the intensive cultivation of
garden truck. This would provide
sufficient food and make the owner
independent. This is my ideal of
civilization. / would have people
live on small farms, instead of sur
rounding themselves with artificial
urban conditions. In Austria one
finds none of the social unrest
that exists in many other countries.
For Austria is an agricultural coun-
-ry. Here the balance between city
and country is not destroyed as in
America. where the. cities are over
crowded to the detriment of the
rura' districts. But even Austria is
behind the times and agriculture is
primitive still. i saw only two
American mowers in all Tyrol. The
Austrians need the quickening of
spirit which education gives. The
peasants are hearty and strong but
dull-eyed and SLOW Schools are
Austria's greatest need.-Thomas A.

considered by those who make poul-
try foods that most of them have
alfalfa meal as base instead of oil
meal, bran or other similar feed
stuffs. A combination of alfalfa meal
meat scraps, ground bone and a few
other ingredients of minor impor-
tace, makes the best feed for chicks

AT LAsT-THE DEAR EDITOR.

Every newspaper in the land Is
now flooded with letters. sugges-
lions, editorial correspondence and
from the Taft headquarters or
from some club or bureau headquar-
tiers on political situations favoring
this, that and the other candidate,
pointed correspondents. Every
mail brings these long enveloped
enclosres, on some of which even a
two-cent stamp is squandered. On
top of this the plate makers are
pressing upon such newspapers as
will promise to use them, columns
of matter to be supplied weekly, al
ready stereotyped and made to put
into the forms.
The politicians are a generous lot.
as well as modest. They are not
ashamed to be caught astride
small country newspaper during the
stress of a campaign, and even seek
the mount, digging their politica
spurs into the flanks of the class OF
country editor whom they would
scarcely recognize at any other time.
Among all of the contemplate
phases Of the press agency business
-practiced for the sake Of publicity
and to beat the newspapers--the po-
litical advertising part ranks with tho
rankest in dire unmentionable de-
mand for profanity.
The political deadJbeat is no less
in evidence than the dead-beat of
the thousand other brands whom a
real newspaper man should be able
to spot at a glance, not to mention
the maverick dead-beat who hasn't
even class to recommend him.

A warrant was issued last evening
out of the office of the prosecuting

Gently purchased from Clinton l..

The complaint, sworn to by Wei

ment of s3,771.71 of the company's
money on or about the Goth day of
December, when said Craig was
in charge of the pay roll ledger and
other books, money and property of
the company.
The warrant was placed in the
hands of Sheriff Williams of this

evening Craig has always been con-
sidered an honorable, upright citi-

HAS MUCH TO BE PROUD OF.

There Is much to be proud of in
this favored vicinity, where soil is
rich and deep, where water is plen-
tifuI, where but few crops ever fail
and where there is always enough to
keep the larder brimming.
Our orchards yield riches, our
ranges plenty of fat stock, our mea-
dows hay for winter feed and to
market, our wheat and oats fields
thresh heavily, potatoes yield riches
and fruit makes fortunes.
Our people are most Industrious,
healthy, intelligent and moral. Good
schools and churches abound. Any
OF those who do not wish to live in
the valleys may home ON the mesas-
equally rich-or If they desire lit
tie higher atmosphere, can seke the

We have pure air, and our people.

about made up his mind to be a
candidate for sheriff of Delta coun-

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
A LUCKY STUMBLE.

Once upon a time, at a dane
ing party at Windsor, a young
Welsh soldier stumbled and fell,
landing in the lap Of a lady who
was sitting by and looking on.
Strange to say, this mlshap was
the beginning Of a love affair
between the two, which cuIml-
mated in their marriage. The
lady was Catherine, widow Of
Henry v. Of England. The
young soldiers name was Owen
Tudor. Three children were
born to them. the eldest Of
whom, Edmund Tudor, married
Margaret Beaufort, daughter Of
the Duke Of Somerset. A son
Of Edmund and Margaret be
came Henry VII, and, beginning
with him, and including Henry
WILL, Edward W., Queen Mary
and Queen Elizabeth, the line
Of Tudors ruled England for
one hundred and eighteen years.
II was a lucky stomble for the
young Welsh soldier, but in
view Of some things the Tudors
did to them, It 10 doubtful
whether It was lucky for tho
people Of England.

hours. Would you have the greedi-
ness to charge me $4,000 for & days
work?" LeDuc's lips frightened into a
thin smile.
Il certainly should. am very i'm
pudent in some respects, and I should
charge you the full price even though
the transaction took me only ten min
utes. I have tried to emphasize that
point as one of the reasons why l
will do harder, longer and more in
telligent work than will the police
man who only gets his SO a day. But
on the other hand, and to balance
the scales between us, of course the
more I get the more you get. I take
it for granted that you would rather
get $50, 900 back than nothing at all.
Also you must remember that there is
the contingency that I may fail com
pIetely, and in that event I will be
out my time, labor and expenses.
Then again, I may recover but a small
portion of what has been stolen, and
in that case my fees will be insignif-
cant and my time practically wasted.

you can let it alone If you prefer"

he turned to me.
In getting at the roots of a case
like this, one way of simplifying it is
by the process of eIimination-that is
to say, by the wedding out of those
persons and circumstances which al
though Immediately surrounding the
affair could not in the nature of
things be connected with it. By do
ing this you are often able TO narrow
the field of your search and thereby
secure greater concentration. l be-
lieve that you can help me consider
ably in this matter if you will frankly
answer all questions I may ask you,
feeling perfectly free to volunteer any
thing that may occur to you as you
proceed. First Of all, was your uncle
in the habit of keeping large sums of
money in the safe?" I shook my head.
1T very seldom happened. Perhaps
once or twice a year only, and then
merely because the cash was received
out of banking hours The rest of
