France are the result of revolution.

South America are and just as our

affords us an example OF peaceful evo-

durance. as We have seen i'm all the
countries named as having progressed
toward popular government and the
time has arrived or is approaching
when the patience OF the people of the
three autocracies will be exhausted

which he farms right, that meaning

grain is somewhat short He exhibit

alfalfa and white clover in the office
Tuesday that could hardly be surpass-
ed any year or anywhere. Some of
the white clover stocks were three
feet long The timothy stood very
high, and the barley like fish poles.
Mr. Lewis says the secret of a tim
othy crop is in cultivation. Alfalfa
will do as well on high land as in the
valley. His samples were of the sec
ond cutting and were over a foot long
He stated that it required a couple
Of years for alfalfa roots to reach
down to moisture, and after that there
was no discount on crops, and big

A ROUGH EXPERIENCE

Saturday Dell Hart, E. d. Reiter and
f. NJ. Goodwin started in an auto for
the Caaba mine, going by way of Rich
ter pass, which necessitates a wide
detour through British Columbia. The
car had just reached the pass when
one of the numerous thingabobs that
cause misery for auto drivers by oc-
casionally getting out of order, gave
way, and the party found themselves
afoot, many miles from a habitation.
AS the car was beyond repair the
tourists struck out for Nighthawk.
Now, Saturday was the hottest day of
the summer, and the road was long
and dusty. The pilgrims set their
teeth and making the best of an un-
pleasant situation logged merrily
along toward their destination. At
first it was joke, but as weary miles
were slowly covered, the merciless sun
taking a heavy toll in persperation,
the hot sand burning blisters on feet
unused to tramping the jaunt ceased
to be funny. The trio limped into
Nighthawk cooked, crippled and dust
covered in time to catch the evening
train for Oroville For two or three
days after the experience they were
busy nursing aches and pains ac-
cumulated on the journey.
