Grand Jury Still Plugging,
Despite Prophets Word

The popular pastime Of court hous-
ers in announcing confdentially that
the grand jury will adjourn tomor-
row-surc," will probably continue
throughout this week. They've been
adjourning the star chamber jurors
for a week now, but the sixteen in
quisitors were on the job again bright
and early Monday morning to report
for their fourth week of service.
1t is rumored that s. day looks
pretty good to some of the jurymen
and they don't care if the body never
adjourns. Anyway, according to the
present report, the grand jury will re-
main in session for a while, at least.
County Attorney Magney declared
that the body was ION the home
stretch"--but he didn't say how long
the stretch was. 1t is known that
the reports to the district judges and
the county attorneys office are being
prepared.
Several witnesses were subpoenaed
and called to testify before the body
Monday morning. Among them were
J. M. Finn, special detective for the
Brandeis stores, and M. Peterson and
his son, William Peterson. The
Petersons have been before the grand
jury twice in the last week.

land in Wyoming, just over the Ne
braska line. that will be irrigable upon
the completion of the government
project, now under course Of con-
struction.
The Goshen Hole country is said
to be equal to the Big Horn basin
in the matter of fertility and will pro-
duce agricultural products in great
abundance as soon as water is turned
upon the land. The irrigation dis
tricts along the line of the proposed
land have been surveyed and the land
subdivided. 1t is expected that it will

Paul Murray Lays Flat
Persistent Panhandlers

"Panhandlers" and street "mooch-

usual in making advances to prospec-
tive victims along north Sixteenth
street after two Of them had an ex-
perience near Cass street Saturday
afternoon with Paul Murray, boxing
instructor.
Got a dime?" one Of them asked
Murray.
Sure, but I'm going to keep it,"
the glove artist replied.
Not satisfied the beggars became
insistent and even sought to detain
Murray by catching hold of his coat.
When they rcgained consciousness a
large crowd had gathered and the
"panhandlcrs' quietly disappeared
after learning who Murray was.

Jefferson as an Inventor.

Not many people knew that Thomas Jefferson was great inventor. His inventions were all of articles of ev- eryday use. He devised three legged folding camp stool that is the basis of all camp stools of that kind today. The stool he had made for his own use was his constant companion on oc- casions of outings. The revolving chair was his invention. He designed a light wagon. A copying press was devised by him and came into general use. He also invented an instrument for meas uring the distance he walked. A blow and a hemp cultivator showed that his thoughts were often on agricultural matters. His blow received gold medal in France in 179O. Jefferson never benefited financially by his in- ventions. but believed they should be for the use of every one without cost

SHIFTING OF TIE WATERS.
What the sss Gives to the Land and Gets Back Again Every Year.


 According to Mir. Roscoe Nunn of the United States weather bureau. the wa ters of all the oceans have visited every part of the earth at some time in the history of the globe. so continually and upon such a vast scale are the winds and the forces of evaporation. condensation and precipitation at work.
 A continuous circulation of water takes place between the hydrosphere the water areas Of the globe, and the atmosphere. The winds blow water vapor from over the seas to the land. and ascending currents carry it into the upper atmosphere. There it con denses and is precipitated. to begin the return journey to the sea through springs and rivers.
 The amount of evaporation from the seas and the amount of precipitation ture and the winds. 1t has been esti. mated that nearly 13O million millions of tons of water are transferred from sea to land and back again to the sea every year.
 The average rainfall of the globe Is about thirty-three inches. In the Unit ed States 1t varies from almost nothing to about 100 inches. Over the eastern half of the country it ranges from about thirty to about sixty inches and in the Pacific states from i've to 100 inches.
 Probably the greatest rainfall in the world occurs among the hills of Assam. in India. where over 500 inches fall in year. and sometimes as much as forty inches in twenty-four hours.
