 The gardens of the district fell short of the usual yield, with the ex. ception of the Circle Hot Springs, where weather conditions do not mat ter, as the gardens there are heated from hot water running through con duits, from the hot springs, at inter- yals of about 20 feet, through the gar dens.

CIRCLE. SUFFERS FROM SHORTAGE
 OF WATER

In his report of general conditions. Deputy Marshal Chester T. Spencer, of Circle, says that many mining out fits in that district were forced to shut down early in the summer, owing to the shortage of water. His report, which Is of general interest, follows:
 Before the end of September most of the mining plants were closed down on account of lack of water. Undoubt- edly this summer was drier than in many years at the head of Deadwood, Mastodon and Eagle creeks, where most of the hydraulic plants depend on getting the supply of water with which to operate. No strikes of i'm portance have been made during the summer and very little prospecting is being done at present.
 "A great many people of the camp have gone outside for the winter. One, Charles Rogers, has gone to offer his services to the aviation corps. MT. Rogers placed his application with the war department early last spring and was recently ordered to report to the nearest recruiting station. So far, Mir. Rogers has been the first volunteer from this district; but if one was to judge by the attitude and criticisms of some of our respected citizens be- fore war was declared one would be led to believe that Circle district would furnish at least half a dozen able and willing volunteers.
 High prices, the eight hour law and the poor season this year has worked hardship on most of the miners who intend to operate next year, but in spite of all handicaps there will be two hydraulic plants installed for the com. ing season. F. L. Jewett and J. P. An derson are opening up on Deadwood creek, also Frank Hines. This makes ten hydraulic plants in operation, as follows: A. A.

Keynote Studies of Keynote Books"
Four books from the Old and four
from the New Testament will be con-

'he futility of fragnentary study, and
urged that the books of the Bible be
& approached from the great unifying
ideas running through them.

mythology and substituted God. No
single chapter in the Bible has had
more influence on the worlds thought
than this chapter. In fact. there are
Nnly two subjects printed in the book
of Genesis. These may be called
creation and probation
Creation and Probation.
Genesis i. is devoted to 'crea-
;ion.' ~ said DR.. Smith. "All other
chapters are devoted to probation
1t Is remarkable fact that the Ger
man philosopher Kant said only two
things moved his constant admira-
ton, these were-the starry heavens
bove and the moral law. These are
precisely the subjects treated by the
writer of Genesis. but the writer Of
Genesis goes a step further. He finds
that the solution CT these two mys-
teries is a belief in God. Faith, there
fore, is the keyword of Genesis. faith
in the God of nature and the God Of
