THE HURRY HABIT

| What would Americans do II every

We are 60 restless at this bondage OF
flesh!
! Man can scarcely walk: he must run.
| How often we see men and women on
our city streets whose every line shows
I the tension and strain of keeping down
| to the modesty of a walk! 1t would be
such relief If convention would allow
them to run. Horses, street cars. are
| too slow-the automobile is better. but
the law has its hand on the speed lever.
Next will be the freedom of the flying
machine. and what will happen IL no

Is all of this hurry habit tending to

then the average American who is alive
to his possibilities, and lives to a ripe
age. lives two ordinary lives.
II life is measured by soul growth, let
each answer the question for himself. Do
We actually grow stronger by reaching
out to so many things. by being keyed
to a more rapid vibration. or does the
soul grow stronger in an atmosphere OF
peace and rest and time for mature
thought?
If the difference between the physical
and the spiritual plane is the difference
in the rate of vibration i'm matter. then
surely Americans must be turned to
high spiritual key. whether the soul be
truly developed or not
Do We really accomplish more in the
hurry habit? Is there not some truth
in the statement of the EnSlishman who.
standing in the sixth story window OF
an office building. remarked:
You know, don't think you Ameri
cans accomplish any more by your hurry.
You seem to start out on a run and
when you have run a block, you have
forgotten what you started out for. and
you run back to find out. Don't you
know. think you'd accomplish more IL
you made your heads save your feet"
He is right. Hurry tends to nervous
ness and nervousness to ineffciency.

RED CLOVER CROP LARGE
A. l.. Hurst Gets Three Tons Per Acre.
Second Crop For Seed.

| That red clover is paying crop in
the Bull country, has been proven by
A. L. Hurst, who lives three miles
south of Bull. He told Herald re-
porter Saturday that he cut the first
crop of red clover off on an Is acre
field June 25, which made an average
of 3 tons per acre, and that the second
crop is now ready to cut for hay. How
ever, Mr.. Hurst will let it stand longer
| for seed and there will be fall pasture
from the third growth He said that ii
he were to cut the second crop for hay
1T would yield nearly as much per acre
as the first crop and he would get a
third cutting besides.
Mr.. Hurst and family moved here
from Sheldon, Missouri, in the spring
of 1914 and he purchased an so acre
ranch three miles south of Buhl, and
cleared part of it of sage brush. He
farmed in Missouri before coming to
the Bull country, but says that he
raised larger crops here the first year
off sage brush land than he had har-
vested in the east
The field of clover was sown in May,
1914, and this years crop was watered
twice, the first time in April and the
second time just before cutting.
Mr.. Hurst said that raising clover
for seed is experimental with him,
but he thinks he will get good yield
from this crop.-Buhl Herald.

LID is ON lASSfN VOLCANO
Experts of the Opinion That Lassen
Will Remain Quiet.

The recent volcanic eruptions of
Lassen Peak, California, the most vio-
lent and destructive of which was the
outburst in May, 1915, are reported by
Geologist J. S. Diller, of the United
States Geological Survey, to have
reached their maximum The noun
tain, thought it will doubtless continue
to be an active volcanic curiosity, will
not, it is believed, develop into de-
vastating fury after the manner Of
Vesuvius or some of the Alaskan vol
canoes In other words, old Vul-
can has clapped the lid down on Las
sen.
For several weeks Mr.. Diller has
been studying Lassen Peak on the
ground in cooperation with officials
of the forest servise and has reported
to the director of the Geological Sur
vey as follows:
"The great eruptions of Lassen
Peak of May 20 and May % spent the
energy of the old volcano and put a
lid on it. The effects of the flood on
Hat Creek are being turned to good
account, while many visitors are safe

A GRADE BRIDGE
IS NOT DESIRED
Continued from Page ID

IAN aerial tramway for moving this hay
and grain across the canyon. But this
time they could not get an engine
strong enough to pull this cable up.
This left but one avenue open, and Mr..
Humphrey began negotiations with the
Oregon Short Line. He found he
would have to freight his supplies
either to Kimberly or Twin Falls, then
by freight to Minidoka and from there
TO Shoshone, and finally freight it thir-
ty miles from Shoshone to the Butte
camp. To Minidoka is practically 60
miles, from Minidoka to Shoshone is
80 miles, and even after reaching Sho-
shone he had his supplies twice as far
from their destination as at the start
But he found that the double freight
ing distance, plus the 10 miles of
freighting distance by railroad, cost
less than the professional freighters
wanted to take the hay and grain over
the grades up and down the Snake
river canyon.
This is the actual experience Mr.
Humphrey had in handling thousands
eof dollars worth of material and he
is willing to make the above statement
under oath, and to show the absolute
proof of his statement.
Can anything be more convincing of
xhe absolute uselessness of a grade
bridge in comparison with a farm level
structure? If professional freighter
could not make it pay to haul over
such a place, could farmer do any
better? Could his teams pull any
greater load, or would they do it with
even as much safety as could man
whose business it was to handle
horses on any road and under any
conditions? AS Mr.. Humphrey says
they would be just as far from us as
ever. as far as moving loads of grain
etc, is concerned. A grade bridge
would be all right for a man who just
wanted to cross the river. and who
had plenty of time to spend on the
scenery; and even then such bridge
would not have the attraction that a
high bridge would. Mr.. Humphrey
spoke of many who have spoken to
him of the convenience and necessity
of high bridge, where one would
cross without fear of losing life or
limb, and the unanimous opinion was
that 1t would be much more of a bust
ness policy to put in one high bridge
at cost of 100000, than to use as
much in putting in two other bridges
and the accompanying grades. whose
utility is doubtful, to say the least.
proposition that appeals to the MAORI
ty as the proper place to put thei1
money, surely has some merit or il
would not have the support of the
tax payers. The Hansen bridge has
their support, both in petition and il
other ways. and Mr. Humphrey says
this support is getting stronger every
day.

WARSAW IS SURRENDERED
Germans Now in Possession of Polish
Capital.

Berlin, Aug. Warsaw was taken
this morning by German troops, ac-
cording to the official announcement
OF army Headquarters. Yesterday and
last night the Bava"ian troops under
Prince Leopold broke through the
forts of the outer and inner lines of
the city's defenses, where rearguard
Russian troops made a tenacious re-
sistance. The German armies under
General Won Gallwitz advanced in the
direction of the road between l.omza,
Ostrova and Vyszkov and fought yio-
lent engagements The brave desper-
ate resistance of the Russians on both
sides of the road between Ostrova and
Rosan was without success Twenty
two Russian officers and 484O soldiers
were taken prisoners. Seventeen ma
chine guns were captured.
The German calvary yesterday de-
feated at Courlanda a detachment of
the Russian calvary at three points,
taking 1925 prisoners. The situation
near lvangorod is unchanged The
campaign is being continued between
the upper Vistula and Bug rivers. Ger
man calvarymen entered Vladimir

threatened to encircle the capital, and
