Ephrata- Farmers here say that the
outlook for a bumper wheat crop is
favorable. The fall grain looks par
ticularly good, having rich, dark
color, showing that there is plenty of
moisture in the ground. The spring
wheat is in many cases somewhat
weedy and thin, but as most of the
wheat in the county was seeded last
fall the loss from a light crop of
spring grain will not be great.

Hunter Sends to New York Specl

Africa.

New York.-Two specimens OF the
giant forest pig. captured by Alfred
j. Klein near the Channa river In At
RIGA, have been presented to the Mu-
scum of Natural History. They have
been mounted by F. Blaschke.
The forest pig Is exceeded in size
only by some long extinct species
whose fossil remains are found in the
western states. II Is comparatively
unknown, partly on account Of its
habits, which are nocturnal It thrives
In the grass of the African jungle.

found traces of these pigs, their tracks
following the elephant trails for long
distances.
The head of the forest pig is long
with ugly upturned tusks. Its legs
are slender, supporting a heavy.
stocky body. It is agile and power
full as 1t goes cavorting through the
brush Of the jungle.
For about Is years 1t was suspected
that the forests of central Africa har-
bored some giant specimen of the pig

says a writer. But that there is a
country from which men are con-
stantly missing" allows of no con-
tradiction. A section of this great
United States of America there is
which literally swallows up human be-
ings and leaves no inkling of their
fates or their whereabouts. Such a
section and such places are found
throughout the great southwest from
western Texas to the Pacific coast
Not one man or one woman, but
scores of men and women, come, are
seen and vanish in this section Of the
states each year. To disappear from
OF the face of the earth as completely
as IL one had never existed is not a
feat easy of accomplishment even In
the great centers of population In the
eastern states. And in this country OF
missing men 1t happens so frequently
that only case of extraordinary in
terest commands the attention Of the
natives. A grunt or a shrug of the
shoulders dismisses the matter as
soon as it is mentioned. One must be
rich or one must be influential If one
would have the arm of the law

indeed?
But Indifference alone is not re-
sponsible for the lack of interest in
so small a matter as the mere disap-
pearanceSof a man. No. there is that
in the attitude Of the average native
Of the southwest which makes him
hesitate to show any interest or con-
Germ In the affairs Of another man.
In the east such questions as Where
are you FROM" or Are you in busi-
ness here?" are common enough And
such questions are asked with no pur-
pose or intent Of prying into another's
affairs. 1t is part of the social Gus
toms Of the polite" east to show
some interest in another's well-beiug.
But such personal. intimate questions
never fall from the lips of the man
born or reared in the great southwest.
Only a few days ago the proprie-
tress Of one Of the largest and finest
boarding houses in FL Paso furnished
mute but convincing evidence of the
fact that men disappear all too often
in these parts. Taking the CORE

BRYCE SAYS WARS COME FROM FOLLY

James Bryce, the British ambassa-
dor, told the committee for the cele-
bration Of the centenary Of peace be-
tween English-speaking peoples at a
dinner in New York the other night
that nearly all wars had been due to
human folly or human passion.
He dwelt on how much better Il
was to celebrate the wisdom which
had ended a war and avoided any sub
sequent conflict, rather than the want
of skill and wisdom which made war
possible.
The ambassador described what
had been accomplished during his
Official stay in Washington to remove
differences between the United States
and Great Britain. and to avoid diff
ferences in the future. He reviewed
the three arbitrations and several
treaties leading to a settlement OF
the Canadian boundary dispute; the
Newfoundland fisheries question; the
matter of the use Of the waters on
he boundary and minor points long
be United States, and continued:
