NOTES FROM BUTTE COUNTY.
DESERT DISTRICT.

The claims on this desert are sc
large that the farmers are rather re.
mote neighbors; but their friendly
feelings are near, and they are learn.
ing to be far-sighted in more ways
than one.
Seth Harper cannot even see a
smoke from any neighbours chimney
but he does not complain of being
lonesome. However remote a claim
its holder is doing his utmost to full
fill all legal requirements, and more
On Oradene ranch, owned by L. L.
Dalton, forty acres have been plowed
with a two-bottom gand pillow and
five horses by Mr.. Harper, ready for
planting next year. This plot ad-
joins his own.
On Recluse, his own place, Mr..
Harper has some thirty-five acres OF
spring wheat now ready for the
header and thresher. He estimates
it not less than fifteen bushels to the
acre. He planted a two-acre garden
also, cultivated it once and is now
luxuriating in an abundance of fine
vegetables. The yield is simply won
derful. Lettuce and radishes, pota-
toes, peas, beans, carrots, turnips,
beets, cucumbers, cantalOups are all
included. His own family has been
abundantly supplied and he has also
sold some.
Sagehens have haunted this garden
spot but seemed to prefer lettuce to
all else, and fortunately there was
plenty of that, arranged outside of
other vegetables.
The we'll that Mr.. Nelson ct al.
have been driving on William
Claunch's ranch reached depth of
10 feet and was progressing ia
vorably when breakage caused the
work to be suspended to await re-
pairs. Every farmer on the desert is
looking on this enterprise with keen
and hopeful interest Everyone hopes
to be able to have we'll of his own
some day, and secretly or openly be-
lieves his own location to be as good
as any; and all ardently wish for the
success of this first attempt as being
a guide to their own estimates. 1t
seems to be the general opinion that
500 feet of depth is not too much to
allow at this elevation.
Mr.. Claunch's crops are doing well,
but Mr.. Claunch complains of the
havoc wrought in her garden by sage
chickens. Rabbits are doing very lit
tie harm this year.
Mr.. Aicher, agricultural expert
from Aberdeen experiment station,
lately made an observation trip thru
iris part of Butte county and his ad-
vice to the farmers was to plant peas
literally. He said he found so
great variety of wild legumes that
even without soil analysis one could
not fail toknow that the locality is
peculiarly adapted to this valuable
crop.
There has been more rainfall this
year than last.

BROWN-HART COMPANY ADOPT
A NEW BOOKKEEPING SYSTEM

The Brown-Hart company have in
stalled what is known as the McCas-
key system of bookkeeping. 1t ena-
bles the customer to receive a slip
showing the present purchase, with
the total of his account accompany
ing it.
By preserving the slips and filing
them at home in file furnished by
the Brown-Hart company, the GUS
toner has at all times a complete
itemized statement of his account
and the totals each date of purchase.
1t saves the firm the labor and
expense of making out statements on
the first of the month and mailing
them to customers. 1t also enables
the customers to inspect the account
as often as they wish and while the
account is fresh in mind 1t affords
both parties a better check against
errors than in the old system.

THE USES OF THE LIBERTY LOAN

1t is mistaken notion that all of
the money raised by the sale of the
Liberty Loan bonds which is to be
used for war purposes will be an
eventual loss to the United States
and it's people; that it is all to be
spent for things used up in war or
useless except for purposes of war.
1t is we'll to remember that great
deal of the money raised by the sale
of Liberty Loan bonds Is to be invest
ed in things that will be of great use
and value to the nation when peace
shall be declared.
One thing that most people real
ize will be of value is that 1t is going
to put this nation in state of pre-
paredness. While it is hoped and be-
lieved that the end of the war will be
the ending of all great wars it will
be valuable thing to America to
find herself at it's close prepared to
enforce the just DEGREES of peace.
There may be twilight zone be-
tween the close of this war and the
establishment of peace all over the
world and preparedness will place
America in a position to have that
voice in the world affairs that this
nation is worthy Of. We know that
voice will be for peace and justice
and freedom.
Millions are to be spent in the con-
struction of merchant ships and
these, at least those that escape de-
struction in the war, will be a valu-
able investment. There will be ire
mendous demand for merchant ships
when peace comes and, whether the
United States continues to own and
operate this merchant marine, or
whether the ships are sold to private
individuals, the money invested in
them by the United States will be no
loss to the nation. 1t may be great
gain to it. In the revival of foreign
commerce, in the contest for foreign
markets, the United States will no
longer be at the mercy of foreign ship
owners. We can do our own carry
ing trade and our commerce will have
a fair chance in the foreign markets.
Billions of this money raised by
the sale of Liberty Loan bonds have
been and are to be loaned to those
European nations engaged in war
with Germany. This is no expendi-
ture without return. 1t is an invest
ment~ that no one will say is insecure.
1t will not only bring in return in
interest and a return of the principal
when due but it has brought to us
regard and friendship with those
nations the value of which in dollars
cannot be estimated.
The war is going to be expensive;
it is going to call for sacrifices on
the part of the nation and on the
part of the individuals composing the
nation. Much wealth is going to be
shot out of the mouths of guns and
cannon and much is going to be sunk
at sea, but all of the money used for
war purposes is not going to be IL
nancial loss to the nation. America
will emerge from the war not only
with honor and greatness and power
increased but she will emerge better
fitted for the struggle of commerce
when peace comes and much OF the
money spent for war purposes will
be equally valuable If not more val
liable in time of peace.

The following was taken from the

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
DARKENS BEAUTIFULLY AND
RESTORES ITS NATURAL
COLOR AND EUSTRE
AT ONCE.

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea. with sulphur and alcohol
added will turn gray streaked and
faded hair beautifully ark and luxur-
liant. Mixing the Sage Tea and sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome An easier way is to get the
ready-to- use preparation improved by
the addition of other ingredients,
costing about so cents a large bottle
at drug stores known as i"Wyeth' s
Sage and Sulphur Compound thus
avoiding a lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sin
ful. we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. BY
darkening your hair with Wyeth' s
Sage and Sulphur Compound. no one
can tell, because it does it so natur-
ally. SO evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time: by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, CLOS
sy, soft and Iuxuriant and you APP

and Sulphur Compound is a delight

for the cure. mitigation or prevention

The immense importance of the dis

the nation is pointed out by officials
