Look Out For Gypsies.

Last Saturday bend of gypsies
struck Lchi. They were of the light
fingered, fortune-telling class. Enter
ing one place they began talking vol
uably CT fortunes, good luck, etc; and
a few moments after their departure,
the owner discovered that he had lost
$50. He soon notified the officers.
who had the gang rounded up In the
city Jail, where they consented to rer
store the $780, and after filming one
of their number $50, the gang was al
lowed to go. After this experience
they left town. Part of them were In
American Fork during the day where
they employed similar tactics. In the
Office of the Utah Power and Light Co.,
they jostled party out OF fifty cents
which he had laid on the counter
with other money for his monthly
light bill They also opened the gate
and attempted 10 reach sack of
money In the safe; but prevented by
the prompt action of the office force.
Some of them were rounded up In
Jail In American Fork, and taken
back TO Lehi.

bent Field and was born In Lehi, June
ith. 1897. On his eighth birthday h.

Illness his little sisters have been
most devoted and attentive In waiting
upon him and have ever been ready
to answer his every beck and call. In
this way the burden on his parents

Single Germ Beet Seed

Work In Lehi Eleven Years Ago,
Hopes to Make Experiments u Sue.
cess.

|
In 1904, Dr. G.. o. Townsend, came
to Lehi from Washington, ID. G. to
conduct experiments In single germ
sugar beet seed Every beet grower
well knows that each little hard ball
containing the seed, has from to Z
seeds or germs each. Usually these
seed all sprout so that when they come
| up, they are In clusters, making II
necessary for boys to creep along the
rows on their knees, and carefully
| separate and remove all but one OF
,hese little beets. II cannot be dom
With a hoe, because the plants are
30 close, having all come up from one
seed.
II the seed could be dropped far
nough apart so that the thinning could
all be done with hoe, II Is estimated
hat there would be saving annually
% the beet growers Of America OF
jver 100000.
The multiple germ seeds are caus-
ID by the flowers boing so close to
yethcr on the stems that several unite
in the production of one seed ball
occasionally these flowers are more
widely separated on the stem, and
the result is n single germ seed. ID
Townsend commenced his experiments
by taking the pollen from singh
flower and polenizihg another singi,
dover. and then covering them witt
lille bags so that insects and thu
Wind could not polenize from Other
flowers.
Because DR. Townsend has not beer
around Lehi for several years, many
bought that the experiment had bee.
abandoned, but II appears that he has
tept up the breeding for single-gcrm
'eed for the past eleven years ant
ropes TO ultimately be successful
I'm the last issue OF a periodical call
I'd Sugar" he has a long article con.
tanning the above information, and
closes his story with the following
paragraph
To sum up the work, It Is apparen;
that commercial beet plants normal
produce a few single-germ seeds. Gu,
problem was. by selection. to increas,
the proportion OF single-germ seedi
from less than 8 per cent to 100. Our
selected plants are now producing
about rs per cent OF single-germ seeds
and Individual plants In a few cases
show n somewhat higher percentage
than this. The work and progress of
single-germ beet seed production is
based upon the fact that certain beet
plants possess the ability to so de-
selop the seed stems that the buds
and flowers are separated from each
other In the process OF growth. This
tendency to separate the flowers and
thereby to produce single-germ seeds
seems to be transmissible from par
mt to offspring; whether or not this
will become a fixed character time
,nly can tell. The indications are
that this character will become fixed
md that a reasonable amount OF care
IN the part of the beet growers will
make the production OF sfngle-germ
beet seed commercially practicable.

Alfalfa Mills

The great value of the many alfal-
ia mills Of this section was never bet
ter demonstrated than right now when
all are running full blast grinding up
>housands of tons of alfalfa hay from
our ranches each week, and finding
a ready market in the east for the pro-
duct. The excessive rains this season
have created a situation never known
here before. 1t has happened that
rains have spoiled large part of one
crop for the hay markets in past sea-
sons, but never before have they in
terfered seriously with the marketable
qualities of all three crops. There is a
large tonnage of hay in this section,
but it has been a number of years
since there was so little fit to bale and
ship. However it makes just as fine
alfalfa meal and the big and little
mills are handling it so fast that they
are proving of incalculable benefit to
our people. Besides making money for
their owners they will add several
times their own cost to the value of
Prowers county's hay crop this year.
Arkansas Valley alfalfa meal is now
a staple feed wherever live stock is
raised and even the breakfast food
manufacturers are large purchasers of
the succulent product. Calves and
babies bawl for it, mich cows can't
do without it, and epicures tip the
waiter TO get il for breakfast Be
tween the mills and the large con-
tracts being made by sheep and cattle
feeders there will be a market for all
this years crop of alfalfa.

Rise and Fall of Submarines

The naval experts who refused to be
stampeded into agreeing that the sub
marine had rendered dreadnaughts and
cruisers obsolete, will derive consider
able comfort from the statement of
the British Admiralty that between
fifty and seventy German submarines
have been put out of commission.
While the fact that a report is "ofiic-
ial" is no guarantee of truth or sin
cerity in these remarkable times, there
are enough indisputable facts to lend
credibility to this particular report.
Spectacular as the sinking Of pas
senger vessel by a submarine is, the
loss is not great, reckoned in numbers
or naval consequences. As we recall
the facts, not to exceed four trans
ports bearing troops have been sunk
by submarines, although all beligger-
cnts have made attempts. Any morn
ing an army can go out before break
fast and kill more soldiers than all the
sailors and civilians vino have died in
submarine attacks since the war be
gan. Fishing smacks have found con-
ditions perilous, but about the only
other result of submarine warfare has
been the affording Of an excuse for
raising marine insurance rates.
1t is not strange that the develop
ment of the submarine should stimu-
late the development of means Of Of
Tense and defense. 1t is like the per-
cnnial struggle between burglar-proof
safemalers and burglars and between
the makers Of armor and makers Of
projectiles. No doubt the submarines
will be continually improved. No one
can tell the final result of the rivalry.
Meanwhile, we are reminded by the
progress of the present war that cruis-
ers do wonderful service in protecting
commerce and insuring the safe trans
portation Of troops. Cruisers and the
dreadnaughts are still the backbone
of the navy. We should have a full
equipment of submarines, destroyers,
hydroplanes, mine layers and mine de-
stroyers. But a navy that depended
on these alone would be greatly at a
disadvantage under many circum-
stances that are not only possible but
probable. We should follow safety
first principles in our naval prepared

Earls' Orchard

One of the conspicuous features of
the displays at the county fair was
the apples from the orchard at the
Earls ranch four miles east Of La
mar. These apples were the only ones
on the tables that were perfect in
form and absolutely without worms.
The reason was constant spraying, it
being the only orchard in the county
where the spraying was constantly
kept up until all danger was past. A
plate of these apples at the state fair,
which through mistake was not en-
tered for premium, was placed on the
judges desk as the most perfect spec
linens there and shown to all visitors
as a sample of what that variety of
apple should be. All the experts pro-
nounced it the best plate in the entire
state display. The lesson in this is
obvious to all. Only through intelli-
gent and constant spraying can high
class fruit be produced, fruit such as
can hold its own in any market it
may have to seek.

Judging from the reports of his dis

are mostly in the shape Of exploit
ing the alleged parodies upon the

that of the ridiculous. His addresses
contain few spiritual themes or any
ideas from the Bible calculated to
cheer any one on the road to the

Of churches but magnifying PAROLES
is not all of the preaching of the

1t is said. and truly, of Charles
Dickens that he never described a

painted the pictures Of frauds and
counterfeits nicely. 1t is noticed that
some proclaimers of the gospel never
present pictures Of true Christians.

means the only man who has fallen
into this practice.

they have much to learn Of the spiri-
