IF the war lasts long enough We
may yet get our grand opera done in
the language of the country. There
are ever so many Americans who care
for the better things in music who
refuse TO part with large admission
fees for the privilege of sitting
through performances that are unin-
telIigible to them. Give them the
same productions in the language that
they understand and they would be-
come regular patrons Of the opera
and would popuIarize an institution
now narrowed to the few who either
have the time TO familiarize them
selves with tongues in which the
operas are done or, for the sake OF
social prestige, go through the agony
of attendance no matter how painful
it may be.

Bubble Of the apple when they mixed
it with the dew
That elistened in the orchard all the
golden summer through.
Merriness within it,
And that amber ray OF June
When the berries were in harvest
And the orioles in tune.
Pour it in beaker and behold how
like the sun
The sparkles OF its amber to tde
trimming goblet run.
All they say is cider,
But it's morning turned to wine
In little world OF dreaming
Where the golden orchards shine.
Sharp as frosty mornings Of the falls
divine delight,
And, ali. that tang of beauty in its
sudden sting and bite
A rye straw IN the bunghole.
And you're slipping, if you please

And the memory Of the bees.

No Rain for Month and Non
lrrigable Lands Show
ing Effects.
YIELDS ALREADY CUT
Twenty-Four Hour Fall Of
Moisture Needed to Pre-
vent Failufe.

Steyensville. July Especial. )--The
old saying Of "A Million Dollar Rain"
is worn threadbare, but if the Bitter
Root should have a 24-hour rainfall
right now it probably would be worth
that amount to the growing crops.
There has been no rain for Il month
and crops in every section Of the val
ley are suffering. They have just
reached the stage when they require
abundance of moisture and it is not
forthcoming only through the cham
nels Of irrigation. and many Of tho
grainfields are not under irrigation and
must depend uron the rain.
1t is certain that the long dry spell
has already been the means Of dimin-
ishing the big yields that had been
looked for in the grain belts of the
Bitter Root, and what every farmer
wants right now more than anything
else is rain.
The heavy rainfall of last spring did
not do a great deal of good, for they
We're cold and crops which We're put
in at that time did not benefit much.
The rains were followed by the winds
which dried up the soil and the
weather conditions have not been very
favorable SO far for the farmer.
