YOSEM|TE'S
 WATER WHEE1S
From the Toulumne's Swift, Sloping Current Enormous Wheels of Froth- ing Water Rise Fifty Feet in Air.

This season will see the opening to the public of an American water spec tacle Of such extraordinary novelty and beauty that it's eventual world wide celebrity seems an easy prophesy The Water-Wheel Falls of the Yose- mite National Park have probably been seen by less than thousand persons, all told, since their discovery by white men; no doubt they were a familiar sight to the Indians of early days who considered the Toulumne Canyon one of the safest of their Businesses.
 The Toulumne River is one of the finest of the many trout-haunted streams which flow from the snowy hollows of the High Sierra. It sings and roars by turns it's sinuous way from the high places down into and through the celebrated Hetch Hetchy Valley to rest eventually in the Pa cific. Its rush of several thousand feet into the depths of the Hetch Hetchy, which valley by the way, it's waters originally carved in the living granite, constitutes one of the most remarkable spectacles in the remark able Sierra.
 The Toulumne Canyon here is wild beyond description. The rivers bed slants sharply for several miles. Rush. ing with gathering power, the stream leaps over precipices and foams down long, sharply tilted granite slops. Here are found the Waterwheels. The swift current, striking rocky projec-

 Word has been received here re- gently from Eric Stuart, formerly of Morenci. who has been in the trenches in France during the heavy fighting, that he has been wounded and is now confined in base hospital somewhere in Wales.

 The continued and ever increasing work at the postoffice has necessi- tated the purchase of several me chanical devices to do away with con- siderable work and save much time in this busy place. A Columbia can ceiling machine to take care of the canceling of stamps on outgoing mail is the one pride at the office. This machine will cancel on an average $50 letters per minute and will do better than that according to the speed attained and the fast feeding. The elimination of the continuous canceling by hand is certainly appre- ciated by the entire force A Dalton adding and listing machine is also a new acquisition for carrying on the office work in a more efficient man. ner and our genial and accommodate ing postmaster feels justly proud of the status the local office has ac- quired during his appointment.

As a result of the generous gifts Morencis donation will amount to approximately $22O0. Subscription lists were carried through all the various departments of both mining companies, the stores, in fact all over Morenci and everyone was given a chance to subscribe. w. G.

HOW TO DRY FRUITS

In very warm climates fruits
are usually dried in the sun.
Most fruits dried in the sun dis.
color unless specially treated.
For drying fruits in small guam.
titles for home use only the small
drier is satisfactory. On very hot
dry days fruits may be dried in
the sun until surface begins to
wrinkle and then finished in the
drier. Only fresh, ripe fruits
should be used.
The ideal moisture content of
dried fruits is about 1871. The
ability to Judge accurately as to
when the fruit has reached the
proper condition for removal
from drier can only be gained by
experience. When sufficiently
dried it should be so dry that it
is impossible to press water out

We note with a great deal of
pleasure Hon. Claude Kitchin's
stand upon the excess income
provision of the Senate Revenue
Bill now awaiting final passage
in the upper chamber.
Mr.. Kitehin is vigorously op-
posed to this measure which will
lay the burden of war revenue
most unequitably upon the
shoulders of the smaller, conser-
vatively capitalized corporations
in general, and the cotton mills,
paper mills, and larger farmers
Of the south in particular. With
the fearlessness and strength of
conviction which is characteristic
Of the man, he has placed him
self squarely in the path of those
who would put a premium upon
watered stock and over-capitali-
cation and the Senate Revenue
Bill as is the case with any
measure he opposes, will have

MORE WHEAT FOR
HALIFAX COUNTY

1t has been estimated that
North Carolina should produce
10000 600 bu. more wheat annual
ly than she has done in the past.
Halifax County's share of this
would BIZ about 40, 900 bu., or the
product of nearly l,500 acres.
Most of the heavier lands of the
county and the more fertile of
the sandy lands will produce a
very good grade of wheat. Wheat
will serve as a cover crop in place
of some of the other crops that
are raised for this purpose. 1t is
true that wheat makes a harder
drain on the land than the other
crops, but at the same time it
yields a food crop and that will
offset the drain on the land.
There is every indication at the
present time that the seed wheat
will be high this fall and for this
reason farmers should procure
the seed early. Even with a big
crop next spring the prices will
be high, for the conditions tol-
lowing the war will not be settled
for sometime even if the war
were to come to a close in the
near future. Any food stuff will
bring a good price for sometime
after the war is over for it will
take a long time to get things
back to normal condition. For
this reason the farmers should
help themselves by raising
all they can of their own
food crop. Average good land
will make 10 to Is bu.
of wheat per acre and will then
be ready to make a crop of corn
the same season. With this in
mind it seems that the farmers
would plant at least small acre
age in wheat for their own use.
Il do not think that this will
ever be a wheat growing section,
commercially, but | do think that
we should do all we can to pro-
duce our own bread supply at a
time when all food is so high.)
There are a number of varieties
Of wheat that are good but only
a few that may be considered
successful for our conditions.
Leap Prolific, Purple Straw,
f'ults, and Fulcaster, in the order
named are the best for our con-
litions. The Leap Prolific is
preferable because there is some
n the country already and the
seed will be cheaper and more
EASILY produced and where we
III raise the same kind it will be
more advantageously marketed
n case we have any to sell.
The land for wheat should be
thoroughly prepared, and should
lave a good coat of stable ma
lure if this can be secured. A
on of lime or two tons of ground
to the acre will also
lelp the wheat crop. The wheat
nay be planted with a seed drill
r by hand, the drill will give the
'est results. 1t will take a bushel
o a bushel and a half to the acre.

CHERRIES. Wash, remove

cherries unseeded in thin layers

there will be a loss of juice. Dry

PLUMS. Select medium ripe
plums, cover with boiling water,
cover the vessel and let stand

APPLES AND PEARS. Pare,
core and cut apples in one-eigths,
or core and slice in rings using
