Vargas eyes held Shore

on the foaming crest of a wave-and
disappeared. 1t showed again-nearer

A hoarse cheer went UP from .
dozen throats Grotesaue figures in OIL
skins with cork belts tied around their
bodies were bobbing up and down. now
above. now below him. as the lifeboat
rose and fell.
He swung Jonah Sully out to them.
poised himself on the rail-and At
their shout dropped into the boat.
ANY more T-they had passed him
along to tho stern sheets and 1t was .
bearded. srizzled form at the tiller
that howled the question in his ear.
Varge shook his head. There are
no more" he said.
Once more only during the passage
shorewards did the lifeboats captain
speak to him.

he asked. How many OF the crew

Mary X. Jones Of Gloucester"
varge answered him. This IL Capt.
Sully. My name Is Peters. Four Of
the crew were washed overheard a
little after midnight"
They lifted Jonah Sully and car
ried him up the beach. A throng of
men and women crowded about the
crew. the boat and varge-the men
cheering. the women anxious faced.
Quietly Varge drew . little to one
aide. watching them place the life
boat on Its truck. Some one spoke
70 him, woman's voice--and mad,
Wild nre leaped through his veins.
Il am sure you should not stand

They were staring into each others
faces-to ners rushed q crimson food
to t.s there came the whiteness Of
death.
Neither spoke. Then varge looked
away.
II have told them my name was
Peters," he said simply-and waited.
Her hand touched his arm. The
blue eyes looked full into his.
"Your name is Peters," said Janet
Rand.
A hearty smack fell across his back.
"Come along with US, matey." cried
tho captain OF the crew. IAN we'll
have you tucked up in a lily snug as

TEACHERS
OF AGRICULTURE

The U. S. Bureau OF Education IS
the source of the following informa-
ton. In 1910 there we're about eigh-
teen hundred high schools teaching ag-
riculture in the United States. A
large increase in this number is indi-
Gated by the partial returns for 1919.
Instruction in agriculture is required
in seventeen states as follows: Ala
bama, Arkansas, California, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Wisconsin.
North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio.
Oklahoma South Carolina, Texas,
West Virginia, ard Mississippi
The most usual salary for male
teachers. in the high schools in the u.
S. for subjects other than agriculture
is $500, while the salary most usual
for teaching agriculture is $1,000. The
explanation for the higher pay of tea
chers of agriculture is given to be
their scarcity in comparison TO others.

tural College, Fort Collins. Colo.

hedged about with restrictions SO that
tho danger of initiation is minimized.
This is the most important feature OF
the law, and should render impossi-
BILE for all time panics like that which
swept the country in 1907. But ad-
vcncements can only be made to men,
ber banks on notes arising out of ac-
tual commercial transactions in agri-
cultural, industrial or commercial
purposes. They can not make ad-
yances on notes issued for invest
ments or trading in stocks and bonds
other than United States government
securities.
The law also provides that portion
of all bank reserves, varying in amount
according to the classification of the
bank, shall be kept in the regional
bank where the member bank is sit
uGted. Under present conditions the
tendency of all bank reserves is to
travel eastward and finally reach New
York where the big Wall street banks
are situated Under the new law the
reserves will be kept, in part at least,
in the country where they originate,
and be available for local needs in
stead of being used for speculation on
the New York exchange. The diffu-
sion of money throughout the country,
instead of its concentration in the great
cities will be of benefit to the whole
country, and particularly to the west.
/ presume that everyone knows that
federal reserve banks receive deposits
from the government and member
banks only, and not from individuals
or corporations, and make loans like
wise to the government and banks
only. The law is the opening of
new era in the financial history of the
country, and is the greatest conctruc-
tive act of the present administration.

Irrigation Supervisor Coming
l. D. O'Donnell, a member of the
.oaan+l,- ;nctitutad reclamation com

recently instituted TeCldudtiou SoAi-
mission, having charge of the irriga-
ton department, will be Montrose
during the first week in March, at
which time he will hold a conference
where will be discussed the problems
of Mr.. Walters district as they have
to do with irrigation. Representatives
will be here from the Belle Fouche
North Platte and the Grand Valley
projects, and the conference will be
an important one.
Such matters as were referred to at
the water users meeting Tuesday. rs
the Jay Ross case, will be considered,
and Project manager Pyle OF the 10
cal project advises all who have prob
lens similar to Mr.. Ross to bring 1t
before Mr.. O'Donnen at that time.
AS we understand it, priorities
from the Uncompahgre river up to No.
Z are considered by the reclamation
service as first-class and expect to
treat with such cases different from
those priorities which are not first
class. However the several cases
will have to be taken up individually
and considered on their individual
merits.
Mr. O'Donnell is referred to as a
man who is thoroughly versed in the
irrigation game, having been an irri-
cation farmer for long time up In
Montana, and later at the head OF
large irrigation systems. Therefore
he can see the subject from the stand
point of the farmer and the general
impression seems to be that the far
mer can depend upon him for q
square deal in the consideration Of
questions which have to do with
irrigation.
Mr. O'Donnell will spend about a
week here and all water users who
have any sort of a problem In the
irrigating line are invited to present
themselves at this meeting.-Mont-

Trees for Dry Land Planting

Among the many species of trees
that have been planted in Colorado
during the past thirty-five years the
following have shown the greatest re-
distance to drought. These have been
named very nearly in the order of
their ability to withstand drought:
Black locust, honey locust, green
ash, white ash, box elder, Russian
olive, cork elm, white elm, burr oak,
black walnut.
Prepare the ground as for any
field crop. Lard that has been in cul-
tivation several years is better than
land newly broken. Plant young
nursery grown trees in spring in rows
eight to twelve feet apart in the row.
Cultivate during the growing season
to conserve moisture and keep down
weeds. Keep out live stock and fire.
Thin the trees when thoy begin to
crowd much-B. o. Longyear, Colo

cedaredse Home Burns

Wednesday afternoon the alarm of
fire was spread and 1t was found that
the James Keller home in the vast
part OF town was on fire The fire
boys rushed the town equipment to
the place as soon as possible and in
n few moments had the fire under
control. The structure was but two
room shell and burned rapidly before
the water was turned on, so there was
little or nothing left of value.
The fire originated from n stove
pipe which passed through the roof
and when discovered by Mrs. Keller
had good start
Mrs. Keller and Mrs. Beeson had
been busy putting down a new carpet
in the front room.
The loss amounted to 5000 or S4oo
with no insurance. A collection was
taken among the crowd amounting to
S125.

tored by a season OF winter when the
freezing and thawing will break down
the clods formed. In order to thorugh-
ly compact and pulverize the soil, the
plow should be allowed the same half
day with the disk harrow and the spike
tooth harrow. This treatment, If well
carried out, will produce a deep seed
bed, well pulverized and compacted
be1ow the surface and loose at the i'm
mediate surface Such a seedbed has
a sub-surface free from the air spaces.
There is no compacting agency as good
as nature and time. so II such a sed-
bed can stand for a month or six
weeks prior to seeding, it will be in
even better condition for planting than
when first prepared. In the event of
heavy beating rains which form u
crust prior TO seeding time, the surface
should be again put in condition by
disking and narrowing.
If the supply of soil moisture is not
sufficient for proper termination. the
land may be irrigated prior to seed
ing. As soon after irrigation as the
condition of the surface permits, the
land should be disked and narrowed
to prevent the formation OF crust
