nx po1LY pALRYMPLE

TN no line of endeavor Is the neces- sity for preparedness during these
 strenuous days of the present world war more emphasized than in the splen- did work which the women of Alabama have done during the past few months which will be exhibited in the woman department at the Alabama State Fair this year under the able and efficient management of Alabama's beloved Mrs. J. B. Reid.
 Not only will the exhibits this year stand for the purpose of excellng in each particular line, but they will also stand for the complication of the fact that during these perilous and sorrow full days of the war when practically every home is touched by some loved member being caflled to the front, women do not have to leave their fire sides to become nurses or librarians, or war correspondents, to be patriotic; in- deed, they are not dissolved by any means from their duty because they can't join any of these worthy activities, but it is more and more impressed upon them every day that to do their bit in the matter of food conservation is as patriotic and noble duty-more so, probably--than if they were today standing on the firing line in grief stricken France.
 The magnificent prospects that Mrs. Reid reports after her busy summers campaign for practical exhibitions at the fair for jellies and pans, preserves and pickles, breads and knitted garments are of great encouragement and she cheerfully declares that never before in the history of the fair has she found more congenial cooperation and hearty response to her call than in this, Amer ica's first year of the war
 In chatting with Mrs. Reid for few moments between her many engage ments and busy hours prior to the open ing of the fair on Monday, october 8, she said among other things yesterday:
 "The world has placed higher valua- tion on the work of the lands today than ever before; therefore, there is material gain in products and the fact that the emergency has been met with wonderful accomplishment creates a wide interest in exhibitions at the fair this year in the woman's department especially. Scarcely home in America is without some specimen of their new industry, and few there are who are alive to their own responsibility in awakening industry in others. The whole process of education now is for service, and nowhere is it more empha- sized than in the home preparedness movement.

CLIFF JEWELLERS WHEAT
PROVES PRODUCTIVE

Wheat OF such strength and richness
as to revolutionize the growth OF that
crop in Utah and Idaho is found in a
ranch at Hagerman. Ida. owned by a
Salt Lake man, w. Van Irons. who
says the original grains for this heavy
crop were found in jar discovered in
an ancient cliff dweller's home in
southern Utah. says the Salt Lake
Herald-Republcan.
THE wheat came from the original
seed in a sealed jar in the cliff dwell
i lers' houses in southern Utah." said
Mr.. Van Irons, land about FIVE years
ago. and was discovered by members
of an expedition of the Smithsonian
Institute while excavating the mounds
of those old settlers.
AN old resident in that neighbor-
hood begged for some samples of this
ancient seed. and with tears in his
eyes he pleaded so eloquently, that
the members of the expedition family
gave him samples of what the jar
contained; two kernels of wheat and
one bean. The settler took them with
him and planted them. Unfortunately
the bean died, or else do not know
what immense bean crops would have
resulted from the crop from that sim
gle seed But the wheat grew and
flourished.
Last year that old resident got
about thirty bushels of wheat from
this Cliff Dwellers wheat some of 1t
selling for 500 a bushel. The grain
is more than two times as large as
the ordinary sized wheat albeit it is
grown on the desert where there is no
water-which is additional proof of
its hardness. The seed was planted
two kernels in a hill one foot apart
and the wheat stalk makes head
about nine inches long.
II have procured some and am send
ing it to my ranch at Hagerman, Ida. |
believe that it will revolutionize the
raising of wheat in this cou .-ry," said
Mr.. Van Irons.
Mr. Van Irons is head of the Pacific
Glass Casket company, 500 Boyd Park
building, and runs his ranch as side
issue.

TREASON PUNISHABLE
WITH DEATH

ALI persons in the United States
citizens and aliens, are warned in a
proclamation issued by President VIII
son that reasonable acts or attempts
to shield those committing such acts
will be vigorously prosecuted by the

The proclamation defines treason,
citing statutes, provisions of the con-

the facts to the authorities, may be
sent to prison for seven years and
