APRIL WAS DRY.
No Other April as Dry as Month
Just Ended.

April of this year is the dryest April
known since the local office began keep
ing the weather in 1910 The month of
April, 1910, showed precipitation of
only ST of an inch.
This will, doubtless, mean, that de-
spite the heavy snowfall of the winter,
most of which was absorbed in the
ground as it melted and so fur
nished little run-off, early irrigation
will be the rule all over this section of
the state A little rain now and then
helps a lot in the amount of work but
one can gauge the water so carefully
with small rainfall, where one has to
depend altogether on irrigation, that
the dry season may be considered as
the ideal for the irrigationist.

GREAT ADDRESS.
WOrld-Traveler Tells of Foreign
Lands and Their People.

DR.. Fulkerson, president of one of
the mission colledges in China, and one
of the greatest travellers in all Christ
endom, lectured at the Methodist
church, Sunday night, to large and
appreciative audience. He has had a
remarkable career. He was brought
up in the law, but finally went into the
foreign diplomatic service, and he rep
resented the United States at Kobe,
Japan, during the Spanish
war. But through it all, he has been
interested in missions, all over the ORR
ent He has visited Thibet, India,
China, Japan, the Philippines, and
practically the whole East. During the
last 81 years, he has travelled over
300, 900 miles-by steamer, rowboat,
train, on foot, on horseback, elephant
and camel back, on the backs of men,
in jinrckshas, and every imaginable
means of transport.
DR.. Fulkerson speaks especially on
foreign missions, outlining the new
parish abroad" plan, wherein each sup
porting district in this country is given
a special parish in the Orient, and fur
nishes the funds for carrying on the
work; establishing the clos
est personal relations with all the work
srs and the work on the parish. 1t is
a revolution in fooeign mission
and success.
1t would hardly be sacriligious to say
hat, for all the wonderful devotion and
success DR.. Fulkerson has had in the
mission field, the field of professional
lost great star when he took
lp that work instead of athletics. Tall,
powerfully built, he still has-at the
ge of nearly sixty-the speed and grace
f a trained featherweight boxer or
vrestler He moves with the uncon-
cious quickness and sureness of pan
her or a tiger, or whatever is the
wiftest and surest in its action. 1t is
real pleasure to see him, as we'll as to
stem to his wonderfully eloquent
-ords His address here was easily
lie greatest of any kind ever given in
ichfeld.

The Social Science Circle ladies have
been giving some enjoyable entertain

week, and have few others yet to
give. They got more powerful re-
fiector for the kaleidoscope that was tried

found to be sufficiently strong for a
large room; and with the newer, more
powerful machine haye been giving
some most enjoyable entertainments.
Mrs. Clark gave one session with views
from the Yellowstone national park;
Mrs. Crosby gave a delightful illus
trated talk on birds. Mrs. PHELPS
showed the beauties of Westminster
Abbey and other points in England;
Mrs. Isle is to give the Grand Canyon
and the Royal Gorge, on Friday, and
others will take their turn in showing
up some other wonders as they have
been photographed. The windaws TO
the basement were darkened, so that |
the apparatus would work almost as
