him now pretty soon. The Russian
knew that, too.
When he had entered his apartment
and turned on the light, he found Hun

ducked back as the light went up.
For q moment the two eyed one an
other. HUFF was unshaven, sunken-

wild-eyed boy and the tall Russian was
strong.

"Sit down." Boroday's tone was

Nevertheless Boroday forced on him

An entirely wrong doctrine Of hered-
ity has been the source Of great deal
of anxiety in the world, declares James
]. Walsh M. D., In the American Maya
zine, and has kept many people from
living their lives as they ought to do,
because they have been spending time
and energy worrying over what would
happen to them If certain feelings
which they thought symptoms Of in
herited disease were to prove cor
rect. Defects are inherited, but dis
ease is not, because acquired charac-
teristics are not transmitted. Appre-
hension of heredity has probably
caused more suffering than heredity
itself.

Stolen Car Found

John Thatcher. proprietor of the Paul Klocker Dry Goods store had his new Hudson six car stolen from the front of the store Thursday night about nine o'clock. The car was taken by two or three bootleggers of Ari- zona, it is believed who had se- cured a load of booze and appro- priated the car for the purpose of hauling the material to the To- cality where they wished to dis pose of it. The car was found the following day behind the water tank at Allentown, Ari- zona. about twenty-five miles west of town. It appears that part of the gang took the aecu- mutation of booze and started across the country to find the customers and the balance of the party boarded the train and ap- parently went east, coming back through Gallup and probably beating it back to Arizona to help spend the profits of the sale of the brain sumter.

Many Sheep Poisoned

About 2000 head of sheep have died from unknown causes dur ing the last two weeks while be- ing driven over the Mud Tank trail in this county. C. 1. Houck lost 463 head and Cruz Eraso lost about 1900 head. Both bun ches died between Black Canyon and Chevelon Canyon, and all died shortly a f ter drinking water.
 Mr. Houck is convinced that his sheep died from strychnine poison placed by unknown par ties along the trail the sheep travelled. He has sent h e stomach of one of the dead sheep away to have it analysed. .Un- til he receives a report he will suspend final decision as to the cause of death.
 Another theory of the death of the sheep is that they fed up on some weed which had been m a d poisonous by frost. Sheriff Newman is busy looking into the matter and it is thought that some solution of the mys- terious death of the sheep may be found shortly. The story carried by some of the daily papers that German agents are responsible, is not taken serious y by the best informed people in thls vicinity.
 Sheep are now worth about S20 per head and the loss sus- tained by those whose sheep have died is heavy.

Work Progressing on
 Woodruff Dam

By the action taken last week at a meeting of the stockholders in the Woodruff Irrigation dis trict, committee of three was appointed to direct the work of rebuilding the dam in the Little Colorado rlyer. This committee is composed of P. T. Coleman, John R. Hulet and s. F. Smith.
 The stockholders agreed that Engineer HinderIider h ou Id continue the work and that s D. Smithers should act as suDerin- tendent of construction. This ac- tion is satisfactory to all owners of land in the district and it in- sures the early completion of the work.
 Mir. Smithers is a competent man and he has had a great deal of experience in construction work. He was in Holbrook last Sunday hiring all the men he could find. and stated to the News that he expected to have the dam completed Tn about 40 days, provided he could secure a sufficient number of men.

State Fair Exhibits

There are more departments Tn the State Fair this year than ever before and everything indi- cates that each department will have a general representation of surpassing excellence. T h a t. however, should deter no one from entering. On the contrary it should be an encouragement. The general entries close on Nov. 8 but live stock and agrl- culture are held open later, to- gether with some other specials. In point of agriculture there should be tremendous display this year with counties compet- ing that have never competed before.
 It is understood there are hundreds of fine exhibits shown at the sectional fairs, designed to be sent to the State Fair, the entries for which have not yet been received. HURRY is the big word now. Send in the en- tries promptly and let the arti- cles follow, textiles and what ever they may be.

Summer FallouOing is Profitable

Summer Fallowing is Profitable
 An interesting demonstration in cropping summer fallowed land has been conducted by MT. Lars Peterson of Pindale. The land was plowed three times. This was necessary te render it weed free. Part of it was plant ed to wheat last fall and part to oats in the spring. The wheat yielded 25 bushels per acre as compared with 10 to 16 bushels under continuous cropping. The oats yielded Al bushels while continuous cropping yield ed but 13 to q bushels. The season was unusually dry.
 We recommend that farmers fallow their fields one season every few years to eradicate all weeds, store moisture, and thus increase crop production.
 The thrifty farmers of Linden will have no long cold winter of husking corn. They thresh their wheat, oats, beans, sudan, and corn with a power thresher. In to this machine the corn bundles are fed same as small grain. The stalks are completely shredded, thereby increasing the feeding value, while the shelled corn is delivered free of cob and chaff ready for the market.
 Some of the Holstein cattle that were imported during the summer are showing superior qualities as dairy COWS, and art greatly adding to the cash in comes of farmers throughout th' country.
