| ton. Then comes an array OF chairs,
covered over when not in service. On
beyond you face the monster arena OF
pews, yellow, long, smooth benches
these, in four endless series, stretching
back from the rail; their evenness
broke only by a curious series of yel-
low posts, richly veined, that extend
back in severe rows to support the bal
cony. .
Well over that balcony slopes the
curious arched roof, one Of the greatest
arches of it's sort in existence. Down
from it depend great chandeliers to
illumine the chamber. At the heart Of
the roofing two skylights, square cut,
accentuate to the eye the height of this
ceiling, as we'll as reveal its thickness.
Temple All Of Wood.
Meanwhile your guide tells how all
the structure was put up of wood, and
this at a time when the builders were
1000 miles from a railway: A people
that could erect such thing as this,
whether born in polygamy or not, Is
not to be despised. Nor has 1t failed to
keep pace with the times. The organ,
for example, is run by electricity, and
a people who will invest in an organ
Of $500 pipes, ranging from half an
inch to 35 feet in size, cannot be lack
ing in culture.
Far down at the front Of the organ
the three seats await the presiding Of
ficers. Sometimes % presiding officers
are marshaled here. The system main
tanned in the church government, espe-
cially considering the numbers gov
erned, is marvellous. Not even the
splendidly organized Roman Catholic
church has ever attempted to exact
The Tomahawk., 1916-08-31

T SUALLY it's the young school
ma'am who pre-empts the seat
next the driver of the sight
seeing auto, who asks the
question: ''Is polygamy really ex-
tinct among these Mormons?" The
others behind strain their ears, for
they've been dying to make the same
query. You see, in Salt Lake City you
never can tell. Our own guide about
the city, for example, was an intelli-
gent young Mormon who was born un-
der the system, writes Felix J. Koch
In the Utica Globe.
In reply they tell you volubly and
vaguely that the United States courts
have declared polygamy to be illegal,
and the Mormon church itself some
short time after promulgated an edict
forbidding it's practice.
Visitors to Salt Lake City naturally
seek first of all the ''holy of holies" of
Mormonism, the Temple block. This,
if nothing else, makes one admit that
a people, born of polygamy, who can
accomplish such wonders as just this
structure here, are undoubtedly the
peers Of many homogeneous races. Out
on what was the desert at the time of
the Mormons' coming, in. desert
which tires the traveller even as he
zglides across it now by railway, there
Ms city that is as beautiful as any in
the land. And its most beautiful
thing is this Temple block.
You enter by one Of the large gates
built Of wooden gratings and come
upon a small brick structure housing
the bureau Of information and head
quarters for guides. The steps lead up

set on fire, the straw only being con-
sumed The roasted heads are rubbed
between the hands and the chaff WIN
moved out in the wind. Without fur
ther preparation, this roasted wheat
forms one Of the common articles Of
diet of the reapers. Undoubtedly such
was the parched corn which Boaz gave
to Ruth.
Threshing by the primitive methods
employed is the most tiresome task Of
all the fellah's round of toll. In many
out beneath the feet of the animals
which are tied together abreast and
driven round and round over the
spread-out grain. The mules and
horses are provided with flat sheet
iron shoes for all kinds of work, and
the cattle, just as the threshing sea-
son begins, are specially shod.

er fruits begin ripening the fellah.
with his entire family, moves out Of
the village into the vineyard. The
grape season is looked forward to as
the best part Of the year, and at this
time the natives live for the most part
on fruits and bread. Jokingly the fell
lahcen say that they get SO fat from
eating grapes that their fezZes burst.
Olives are harvested in the fall, but
by method so injurious to the trees
that they yield n full crop but once in
two years. Instead of picking them
by hand, for time is not money with
these easy-going people, they beat the
trees with sticks to knock off the
fruit, which at the same time results
in destroying the tender shoots which
should bear the next years fruit. The
olives when salted or picked in brine
are valued food, for peasant can
make meal of only bread and olives,
with perhaps the addition of Il raw
onion.
Sheep as well as gonts are MIXED
by the women, and the milk turned
into cheese and butter. Butter is made
in goat skin like those used for car
rying water. This is only half flied
with milk which has previously been
allowed to sour. The skin is blown
full of air, the opening tied up, and it
is hung On tripod of sticks and
shaken back and forth by one or two
women until the butter is formed.

Paradise for Birds.

Conyers Manor, the 2,5OO-acre farm
Of T.. c. Converse near Greenwich,
Conn.,, is looking it's best these days,
and It is expected that the yield of
peaches will be fully 5000 baskets. The
apple orchards are in the same thrifty
condition, while the acres of straw
berry beds, raspberry and current
bushes are loaded with fruit.
Much work is being done on the
estate to encourage bird life. In this
connection the lake is being prepared
so that water fowl will be safe, and a
large number OF swapping turtles,
weighing from five to thirty pounds
each, have been caught. This work
will be continued until the lake Is
practically free Of enemies Of the wa.
ter fowl.

Kansas had McCarty, base ball coach,

break up the fumbly habit this week.

guess is that the score will be very
close. The team is green. Most of the

foot ball at all before.
