sample. 1t is about forty miles south
west Of Philadelphia. near the Mary
land line. 1t is a very typical Ameri-
can farmeing community, and that
gives it value as a place to experiment.
Chester county is dairying com
munity. The chief crops are wheat.
corn and hay 1t is obvious that If
100 farmers in Chester county grow
hay, and these men make the most
money, hay is the right crop to grow.
But it is not wise to grow any one
crop to the exclusion of others. To
maintain the fertility of the land, Il
rotation of crops is necessary.
In the tabulation of the returns from
these farms, Prot Spillman found
what crops were grown on those that
paid best profits. He knew the sys-
TEN of rotation on these farms. This
in itself was a good tip on what should
be grown and in what proportions. But
he wanted to work his facts out in
more complete detail.
The tables showed that on farms
where wheat was less than 20 per cent
of the crops grown the profits were
below the average Those farms which
grew between 20 and 80 per cent of
wheat yielded profits that were above
the average. Those farms which grew
more than so per cent of wheat fell
back again and were below the av-
erage. So the returns show that it is
wise for the Chester county farmer to
devote from 20 to 80 per cent OF his
land to wheat.

HIGH SCHOOL PARAGRAPHS
BY LOREN MIKESELL

The football season of 1915 closed
with hard fought, we'll matched
game last Saturday. Looking at
Iones record, the chances look rather
dim for the Heppner boys. At the
end of the first half the score stood
6 to 0 in favor of the visiting team.
The Heppner boys came to the front
during the last half and Hiatt scored
touchdown, so when tie final whis-
tie blew, the score read G to 6.
| One big disappointment of the sea-
son was the small number of people
attending the games. The team has
never had the proper support from
either town or school.
The athletic association has been
fortunate in securing the rink for
basketball purposes this year. The
building will be put in shape for
practice in a few days. The girls
team has already put in some good
practice. Professor Motley, the coach,
thinks the prospects for the basket
ball season look very bright. There
will probably be four teams, with
good prospects for fast first team.
Lester Ingram has been elected
manger of the boys basket ball
team and he in turn has appointed
Delbert Wright as assistant manager.
Last Wednesday the grave and dig
nifed class, which sail under the
banner of green and white met in
Prof. Motleys office. We settled
down to the serious task of selecting
a class reporter. After a great deal
of meditation we selected Althea
Devin. A committee of two, consist
ing of Cornelia Johnson and Marcia
Winnard were appointed to hunt up
a suitable class flower.
Why is it every high school youth
you meet this week is trying to beg.
borrow or steal money? There is
only one answre to this, the basket
social at the auditorium Saturday
night. AS football didn't pay ex-
penses this year, the young ladies
volunteered to artistically decorate
the interior and exterior portions of
paste board boxes. The boys agreed
to furnish the necessary currency to
buy the boxes. In this way we give
everybody chance to have a good
time, get plenty to eat and incident
ly help to liquidate the debt. Owing
to his vast persuasive powers and ex-
perience, Henry Peterson has been
assigned the task of selling the bas-
kets.

Second in a Series of Twelve Dramas
of Undilated Realism.

THE THEME-Being story OF a
woman who ignored her birthright,

how she repented, and how it was too

THE STORY-A young girl, bub-
bling over with the ef1eryescence of
youth, has her imagination dwarfed,
and her impulses blighted by a
clergyman father who believes that
the business of mortals on earth is
to repent. The fact that repentance
must follow Sin, doesn't in the least
affect the benign clarity of his vision.
But the Life Force mocks him num-
merry, and by stealth his daughter
marries man of her choice, hus
band rich and devoted. But now her
early life of restriction has festered
into an Unsuitable desire for the
sweets of life, and she dances with
Folly in a mad and ever madder
swirl. Her husband wants children;
it's the "little things that count
with him. He gets dinner parties
dances-MORE dances, and all the
rest of the fitting phantom life of
Society
And then, through a curious cir
cumstance, she becomes imbued with
desire for motherhood. But here
the God of Compensation steps de-
risively between her and her obses-
sion. A fall necessitating an opera

mother, and her spirit is crushed
with the realization,

All the talk in administration quar-

Domestic Politics involved.
AS a matter of fact, big domestic

of Bryan. whose action has most dis
tinctly been calculated to add to the
volume of criticism of the White House

ARE FOR WILSON
ew York Sun Canvass Re-
veaIs Their Sympathies-
War Stand Generally
Approved.

Washington, ID. c. July 15.--Presi-
lent Wilson is much stronger political
" with the people Of the United States
han Is his party.
He is stronger than he was six
months ago, generally because of his
treatment of the European war situa-
|ton. particularly the Lusitania Incl
dent. Whether or not this popularity
lis of kind that can be turned to po-
litical account in the election in 1916
is uncertain, depending largely upon
future developments in the foreign re-
lations of the United States.
The presidents economic and domes-
tic policies and his Mexican record are
unpopular.
These conclusions are based upon
letters received from responses to In
quiries sent out by the New York Suns
Washington bureau to more than 500
political friends and acquaintances
throughout the country.
The Suns report on business condt-
tions are much of the same character
as those that have come to the federal
reserve board. In the agricultural COM
munities the people are not complain
ing. as rule. but in industrial local
tiles there Is depression, except in those
particular industries engaged In the
manufacture of war supplies. Crops
are promising and the farmers appear
to be reasonably prosperous and
happy.

.CARN|VER0US FROG
BUFFALOES KANSAS
It Never Happened Before So
Cottonwood Falls Blames
It on the War. f

Cottonwood Falls. Kan. July 15.-A
strange sight was witnessed on the
farm of Mayor Albert Rogler of this
city by the Rev 7. M. Strange a
Methodist minister. While in the barn
yard, the minister saw large frog
emerge from the grass and leap upon
a young chick only a few days old The
frog then proceeded to try to swallow
the chicken, which set up loud peep
ing The frog had nearly succeeded in
swallowing the chicken when the moth
er hen swooped down and began peck
ing away at the frog. which then tried
to make off into the grass with the
chicken in its mouth. The old hen
followed right after. pecking away as
hard as 1t could and finally when the
minister started towards the frog it let
go the chick and hoped in the grass.
The chick was not injured. apparently.
AS this never happened before. Cotton
wood Falls has decided to blame it on
the war.
Mayor Rogler had missed number
of chicks from his flock and 1t is be-
Iieved the frog ate them. although no.
body Gin this neighborhool ever before
heard of chicken eating frog. A
watch is now being kept in the barn
ward for the frog in an effort to capture
it alive.
