" thank you, sir, for your kind as

Big-hearted Ryall Danvers smiled
reassuringly and placed his hand in
friendly fashion on the shoulder of the
speaker.

always had sneaking fancy for the
stage. In fact, when l was a lad l ran
away for a week with a company of
Strolling players. They were unfortu-
nate, which, perhaps, was fortunate
for me, for I was glad to get home to
plenty of food and a comfortable bed

practical work. I've had the old dream
since, but I've stuck to my work and
have made fair success at it."
"Sir," spoke Algernon Grips, heavy
tragedian of the Strollers, 1.-The drama
is indeed fascinating and noble pro-
fession. We are children OF genius,
myself and my little company. As
such we are called on to battle the VI

arrows oft pierce US sore. l applied

Practical Problems Needing SoIut

Practical Problems Needing Solution
At a recent meeting Of the French
Academy of Sciences Henry LIE Cha
teller urged that list of problems
having immediate Industrial interest be
sent to scientists with a request that
they be solved before purely theoretic-
al problems.
AS examples Of problems calling
aloud for solution, he mentioned the
following: In glass-making, the limits
of the variation of viscosity OF glass
in terms Of temperature and chem
ical composition; in metallurgy, the
measurement of hardness of tempered
steel; in heating, the calorific conducti-
bility of porous substances, such as
friedrich; In agriculture, the laws of
termination of grain, in terms of hui
mildly, temperature and oxyvc q sup
ply.

~ mirage that is spread before
us us we look down into the
bottom of this strange desert basin
from the height between Mortmere
and Dos Palmas, on the road from
Mecca to INLAND, north Of the Salton
sea.
Quite a stable body of water the
Willard In the Los Angeles Times, and
with the drainage of the irrigated area
of the Imperial and Coachella valleys
pouring into 1t, the promise Is for its
area remaining the same indefinitely.
Years ago the Salton basin was I'M
doubtedly part of the Gulf of Cali
fornia, and the Colorado river emptied
into 1t about midway of the whole
length of the gulf. But the "River Of
Red" slowly pushed its delta out across
the gulf, and then came time when
the Salton basin was cut off, and an
inland sea, dead sea in fact, as 1t
had neither inlet nor outlet. Gradually
its shore line receded from the Mud hills
on the north and from the rocky slopes
Of the Santa Rosas on the south, until
only very small area of thick, briny
water remained in the very bottom of
the basin at about $50 feet below sea
level. With the loss of the cooling eff
feet of this great eyaporating surface,
the climate Of the basin became one
of the hottest In the world, and even
the Indians, who once hunted and
fished along the shores of the great
gulf, took to the mountains and aban-
doned the valley as land too hostile
to wrest living from.
When 1t Was Flooded.
Then came the white man with the
railroad, and commercial use was made
Of the immense salt deposits covering
the bottom of the old scaled. But
later, wit, ne development of the I'm
perial valley, came the break in the
Colorado river intake and the conse
puent enormous thrush of water to The
bottom of the basin. With the entire
volume of the Colorado river pouring
IN, the basin was rapidly filling up

PLANT FOODS

Potash aids in the formation
of starch in the grain, strength
ems the stalk and encourages
healthy growth.
Nitrogen hastens stalk and
leaf growth, lengthens the sea-
son of growth and gives the
plant a quick start.
Phosphoric acid helps fill the
grain, improves the quality and
hastens maturity.

Turn a Deaf Ear
To Idle Talk

Now is no time to spend listening to
idle talk.
We must be up and doing. We must
coordinate and concentrate to push
business.
Every effort we can muster from
farmer, mechanic, miner, manufac-
turer-every kind of labor must be
eNerted toward utilizing and develop
ing the great resources of this country.
We must be economical it is true.
For economy is one phase Of efficiency.
But it is we'll to remember that Econ
ony is the judicious expenditure of
money
Everywhere in America to-day we
want development, not retrenchment.
Put on more steam" should be the
industrial slogan.
We must plant more, grow more, har-
vest more, build more, advertise more,
buy and sell more, be bigger and better
business men-in word, do More"

Eyes of the World
Are Upon Detroit

Detroit is the motor car center of the
world. Upon Detroit will fall the priv
lege and responsibility of filling the
needs of the country for cars Detroit
made cars will do their part in making
the world safe for Democracy"
More than ever before are the motor
car products of Detroit coming into
demand.
To the efficiency and economy of the
modern automobile is largely due this
increase. 1t has removed itself from
the class of luXuries and proved it's
place as an economic necessity.
1t is the worlds greatest instrument for
both work and play. 1t pays for itself once
by saving time and promoting efficiency,
and again by providing recreation and rest
and furthering health. The war won't be
won by an overworked, careworn, frazzled
people, but by healthy and efficient people.
The mind that said "All work and no play
makes Jack dull boy was great mind.
The place of recreation as an aid to more
and better work is recognized by the men
doing the worlds biggest jobs everywhere.
President Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George know the truth of that old saying.
Both of them-even in these pressing days
take time to motor and play golf. Not for
fun, but because they know it is their duty
to keep fit Sir Douglas Hag rides horse
back every afternoon not for fun, but to
keep sound SO he can endure strain Of his
job and think straight all the time.
And the proper light for you to look upon
your investment in motor car is as an aid
to business and promoter of health-and
therefore Of your all around efficiency
You will find justification of your pur-
chase of any Detroit-made car in the sound
and thorough goodness of the car itself and
real economy of its service
Saxon cars are good cars. The 2-passen-
ger roadster model is priced at $495 The
big, 5-passenger touring car, Saxon Six"
is $S65 until May LIST. Both models can be
seen at the local salcsrooms

You Can Help
Here's How!

There is one thing every man, wom-
an boy and girl in America can do to
help. And that is-do the thing you
are doing now better. Work harder,
work longer, and make your work pro
duce more.
The European war has taught us that
for every man at the front there must
be ten people at home at work support
ing him. To feed and clothe and arm
and transport one first-class fighting
man there must be ten frst-class work
ing people behind him.

Our President Saws:

at is evident to every thinking man
that our industries, on the farm, in the
shipyards, in the mines, in the facto-
ries, must be made more prolific and
more efficient"
Put senseless hysteria aside; don't
mistake froth for patriotism
Let us address ourselves to our indi-
vidual and particular duties calmly and
collectedly, but purposefully.
In the need of the nation let us find
stimulation to greater industry.

plement at hand that can assist him.
With an automobile he need not trust
to slow horse and buggy when his
reaper breaks down. He can go to
town and return to continue his days
labor without losing but fraction of
the time he ordinarily would have lost.
His wife and family can use it to
market the butter and eggs while he is
in the field. In dozen different ways
every day the automobile will prove it's
economy and efficiency for the farmer.
In work OF war the time-saving eff
cheney of the motor car is recognized.
Thousands and thousands of motor
cars are at the front now. Motor cars
have twice saved France once at the
Marine, again at Verdun Our govern
ment will purchase $4,000 trucks and
great numbers Of motor cars. All am
balances are built on motor car chassis.
Wherever time counts in the efficien-
cy of work OF war Or in saving life
motor cars are inevitable, and they are
blessing

Motor Car Is Worlds
Great est Time Saver

Our most valuable resource is time.
Now we must take time to do double
work and carry double the burden. And
the motor car is the worlds greatest
time saver
Use the motor car. Multiply the
hours in day. The time saved by the
motor car means more time for actual
production purposes. This means
greater national prosperity and more
taxable wealth to aid our government.
Take out your pencil. Figure out the
time you can save for yourself with
motor car. Total up the increased num-
Der of things you can accomplish in
that time. Multiply that by the number
Of people in a position to buy car.
Then you see how vast becomes the ag-
gregate good the motor car can accom-
plish.

Attend to your particular business
and business in general will take care
Of itself.
From here and there come rumors of
slackening business and need for stern
retrenchment
This is hysteria, not common sense
Business is good and will be better as
fast as such misguided stories are sup
pressed and the energy that evolved
them turned to productive labor.
Again we say-attend to your par
ticular business and business in general
will take care of itself.

The Nation
Looks to the Farmer

Upon The farmers Of The United
States is laid the greatest obligation.
From the soil they must wrest more
than they have ever before harvested
And of course they will continue to
get the highest prices in history for the
products they grow.
The farmer must make every minute
count. And the automobile is one i'm

This isn't the kind of job that carries
much tinsel and glitter with it, but it is
the essential job-our job-yours and
mine, until our government calls us to
some different war service
Through CONSUMPTION, in which we
heartily believe, the government will
make known to us the particular and
individual duty it has for each one of
us. Until then let us simply work
harder.
The cost Of the war must be paid for
out OF our production-ou national
business. And your help is needed

TO MY CORONA

Thou art my aid in time of need,
My helper and my stay;
thee none on earth could read
A thing have to say?
Thou savest me from writer's cramp
And fingers black with ink;
So now no photographic cramp
Can put me on the blink.
Time was when friends would go insane
- And seek padded cell, -
Because they tried.a and tried in vain
My mystic script to spell.
But now my letters nre as clear
As any ones could be
And sweet AS music to mine ear
The pounding of the key.
l thank the duly great machine
Which makes all hands the same,
Which types the very words mean
However Wild or tame
Thou ms& st my letters plain to scan
Thou bringest in my pelf,
And when write with thee, can
p Decipher it myself.
