forward passes was a marvel to the

forward passes was a marvel to the
5000 rooters."
The truth is that the "Ag" student is
pulling OF some forward passes in sew
eral other directions that are marvels.
The present student is well described
by George AIDE, Hoosier author, play
wright and farmer, in a story which
appeared in a recent issue OF the Coun-
try Gentleman. To quote.
These boys are not going to head
for the cities TO get desk jobs or slowly
starve within overcrowded battlements
OF the learned professions. They are
going back to the farms to raise more
corn and wheat and oats per acre than
were ever raised before; to feed the
broad and buxon steer so as to top the
market; to live civilized and useful
and happy lives in comfortable homes
surrounded by all conveniences and
most of the Injuries"
SO it is becoming plain that the "Ag"
student is no longer a joke. That he
is beginning TO take the lead in foot
ball championships is simply another
way of portraying the fact that the
cream of the youth of the Nation is
taking to agriculture, horticulture,
dairying and animal husbandry instead
OF law or medicine or other of the at
tractive professions. The change is
a good one not for the youth alone
but for the Nation as well.

They could not analyze the actioh VI
the brother who hurried back.S
In commenting upon his decf "
return without attending the fuherai
OF his older brother, relatives dfclareu
the days OF the boyhood of the t"o'
incidents they had often fougHt owe
the biggest niece of ME that mother
had made. how hundreds of times they
had fished, hunted or skated together;
how they had been known to paha
their strength in order to trim the
new teacher, and how often the older
brother had taken a licking from their
father in order to shield the younger
brother-the one who had to Easten
back.
The mother had died many #years
ago, believing her boys to be the best
and brightest two in the world, but
little did she dream that sometime one
of her boys would become SO preoc-
cupied with material things that he
could not spare a few hours in order
to be present at a time when the other
boy was being laid away.
We frequently hear of the indiffer-
ence of the city resident, but we never
have thought that a city could harden
any heart in a manner like that. Had
the mother been laid away at this time
instead of the brother no doubt the
younger brother would have acted in
the same manner He would have
been compelled to hasten back. Here
seems to be a warning cry to our boys
and girls for the act of that city resi-
dent contains its lesson. If the boys
and girls in Jul town and community
who are lured to the city are to be-
come soulless and ~selfcentered in the
big, congested and heartless city then
there's another reason why they might
better stay here at home.

over this project and pronounce 1t
one of the finest in the west, which
means a great deal, for Mr.. Snively
has had experience and is familiar
with many of the government projects.
He p~ronounces these lands superior TO
any that have yet been undertaken,
which. with a superior and attractive
climate, makes it a decidedly attrac-
tive proposition, 10 only for the gov
eminent to place under irrigation, but
for prospective land purchasers.
Ii is the plan under this project to
have two large bitches leading from an
immense reservoir in the Cheyenne
river. The height of the dam will be
$50 feet, and its width at the base
about 200 feet and at the top go feet.
II will hold l64, 965-acre feet of water,
or sufficient to irrigate the $4,000 acres
hat will come under the ditch TO a
depth OF two feet each season. The
tSiLualSu 1oSi VI lhc piOJtNl 10 FOO.SV
per acre-which includes all laterals
TO lands and everything to complete
the thorough irrigation of a little over
10000 acres. This estimate is based
upon government cost, which is said
to be much greater than where it is
done by private contract. Yet this eSti-
mate which the engineers have been
generous in figuring. is considerably
less per acre than a large number of
projects the government has thus far
undertaken. Nearly all of the land
under this project is already decided,
but the owners will be very glad to
pay the amount OF the estimate for irri-
CATION, and in fact would willingly pay
a greater sum If necessary, for they
easily estimate that their land would
at once be worth from SIS to 500 as
acre as soon as il is irrigated.
An idea of the capacity of the reser-
voir may be gained when ii is known
that it will be ninety miles around it
when filed with water. 1t will make
one of the most beautiful lakes in the
country, as the surrounding region is
most picturesque, lying just at the
foot of the Black Hills, with scattering
pines and cedar and rugged, rocky
cliffs. ]. G. Keith, a resident of Cas-
cade Springs, which will border this
reservoir. is so impressed with the at
t~ractiveness of this reservoir (lake)
that he has proposed to the govern
that he will give 800, 900 for a
concession of the reservoir for the use
of boats and all its fishing and hunting
privileges. Mr.. Keith knows some
thing about catering 70 the tastes of
the travelling and sightseeing public,
for he had a miniature wind cave" at
the worlds fair at Chicago, and after.

Tell the People
The Price
BY ID,

One Of the first questions
" asked when the question
of buying goods comes up is,
What does it coStT' The
man who is to pay the bill
wants to know what that bill
will be. The price is also a
very good line on quality.
Sane men know that goods
are not offered at prices away
below their value unless
there is a good reason for the
sacrifice.
Consequently the curiosity
regarding the price is legiti-
mate and should be satisfied.
The man looking for a house
and able to pay only $40 a
month rent Is not interested
in one that rents for $50. no
matter how fine 1t is or how
great Il bargain. He would
be wasting his time going to
inspect such q residence.
Conversely, the man who is
able and willing to pay $50 a
month rent for a house would
not care to look at one offer
ed for so.
Whether buying eggs, shoes,
m~olasses. nails, toothpicks or
automobiles, the buyer wants
to know the price-that is, If
he expects to pay the bill,
and merchants do not care to
sell goods to the man who
has no such intention.
Bearing this In mind, the
advertiser should not be
afraid to quote prices. The
price will have to be told
some time. Why keep 1t a
secret?

RELIC OF HEATHENISMI
BELIEF IN VAMPIRES is MANY
CENTURIES OLD.
AS Strong Today in Russia and the
Balkan States as II Ever Was
Superstition Leads Frequently
to Violation of Graves.

Proofs of the persistence Of ths
belief In the reality of vampires are
to hand from small Russian village.
Some three years ago the head OF a,
family resident there died, and since
that date nine other members of the
family have also died.
Believing that their deaths were the
result of the rowing spirit of their.
chief, the remaining surviving mem-
bers Of the family assembled together
few evening since, disinterred the
remains and cut off the head. again
burying the body. They hope by this
means to prevent any further evil
happening to the family.
The belief In vampires can be
traced back for more than two thou
sand years. yet there is not on record
single authenticated instance of q
vampire having been seen by a hui
man being. and there are no data;
available by means of which the orr,
gin of the belief can be ascertained
with any degree of certainty.
These blood-sucking apparitions. or
"Iiving, mischievous, murderous dead
bodies," as one writer quantity term
ed them, were common to all coun7
tries, whether Occident or Oriental.
but 1t was generally agreed that the
phenomena of vampirism were to be,
seen only in persons cursed by their
parents. communicated by the
church, the illegitimate offspring of
parents themselves illegitimate or
people attacked by vampires after
death.
Quite recently there was reported
in the daily press the story of Hun
garian farmer who had dug up the.
corpse of supposed vampire, stuffed
three pieces of garlic and three
stones in the mouth and then driven
stake through, the body. Servia and
Bulgaria follow closely in the wake
Of Hungary. and ~ The eighteenth
/ century Al ofilcl alton ot
aiify graves was made, end the re-
port OF such examination embodied in
a public document II states that a
large number OF undecomposed bod
les, undoubtedly those of vampiresA
we're discovered. In 1868 there was
an epidemic of vampirism In a BuI4
garian village.
The inhabitants became SO fright
ened that when night set in instead of
retiring to rest in the usual manner.
they all assembled together in one
central hall to pass the night in com
pany. While they were away from
their houses, however. the enraged
vampires entered them. turned every
thing topsyturvy and smeared all the
pictures, ornaments and furniture
with blood and dirt.
