the money. 1t is time that some OF
the old alfalfa fields were broken up
and put into sugar beets and wheat
for the coming year. Those two
crops we know are going to pay.
Some OF you are going to break up
new lands, and must necessarily 60
into alfalfa In order to get the nee
essary nitrogen and humus into the
SOIL
Among the various crops for your
| consideration, the following figures
will be OF interest. Very few people
have thought OF Idaho as a corn
state. This portion OF the state. /
am convinced. is we'll adapted to the
growing OF corn. The average yield
in Southern Idaho this year Is 81
bushels. The average yield for the
United States is 242 Blu. The aver
age quality In Southern Idaho is So
per cent a. against an average in
the United States of S5.6 per cent.
The average yield OF potatoes for
this year in Idaho is 1876 bu.; for the
United States, 1914 blu. The quality
OF Idaho potatoes is SO per cent as
against SS.6 per cent for those OF
the United States.
Glover seed: The average per
acre for Idaho was 6 bu.; for the
United States. 1.6 blu. Production
for Idaho Is So per cent as against
"a per cent for the United States.
Field peas Production for Idaho
is 120 per cent as against 1872 per
cent for the United States. Grown
for forage: Idaho, lis per cent;
United States 69.5 per cent.
The above figures are all taken
from the report of the Department OF
Agriculture, which was released on
November 9Th. and you see are right
down to date. This speaks very we'll
indeed for Idaho production. You
VIII be able to know. in figuring up
your own crop whether you are above
or below, then 1t is up to you to
md out why. II you are equal or
above the average, 1t will be a matter
OF satisfaction for you to know It.
1t Is hardly necessary for me to
say that I am deeply Interested in
all agricultural problems and II there
10 anything / can do to assist any OF
you along these lines, It will be a
pleasure for me to do 30.

RAINBOW's END.

The hut was but a crumbling skel-
eton Of charred poles. Strung out
across the little field of malangas,
yuccas and sweet potatoes were sew
eral hilarious volunteers, their arms
filed with loot from the cabin. Be
hind them strobe an officer bearing
Rosa struggling against his breast.
Esteban drove his horse headlong
through the soft red earth of the
garden. His sudden appearance
seemed briefly to paralyze the ma
RAIDERS. 1t was moment before
they could drop their spoils, unsling
their rifles, and begin to fire at him,
and by that time he had covered half
the distance to his sister. A bullet
brought his horse down and the boy
went flying over its neck. Nothing
but the loose loan saved him from
injury. AS he rose to his feet, breath
less and covered with the red dirt.
there came a swift thudding of hoofs
and Asensio swept past him like a
rocket. Esteban caught one glimpse

of white teeth barred to the gums, of
distended yellow eyes. Of fiat, distort-
ed features; then Asensio was fairly

had dropped his burden. now tried to
dodge. Asensio slashed once at him
with his long, murderous machete.
but the next instant he was engaged
with a trooper who had fired almost
in his face.
Cobo's men, led by the terrified Pan
cho Cueto, turned and fed for cover,
believing themselves In danger of an
Inhalation. Nor was the colonel him.
self in any condition to rally them,
for Asensio's blade had cloven one
full dark cheek to the bone, and the
shock and pain had unnerved him.
The field was small, the jungle was
close at hand. A moment and the in
terlopers had vanished into it, all but
one, who lay kicking among the broad
malanga leaves, and over whom Assem-
sio kept squirting his terrified horse,
hacking downward with insane fury.
This was the first hand-tO-hand en-
counter Esteban's men had had, and
their swift victory rendered them fero-
cious. Flinging their guns aside. they
went crashing into the brush on the
trail of their enemies.

Harriet Farley, Benjamin Gasul, and
Pearl Carey.
The announcement Of the honorrank-
ings in the graduating class was made
in the assembly-room shortly after
noon today at special convocation of
the High School pupils.
cit is a pleasure" said Mr.. Tremper,
in presenting the honor students, ito
find pupils who early establish an ideal
for themselves and follow it steadily
through their four years course. On
the other hand it is highly discouraging
to find others who never really COM
mence until it time to graduate and
then it's much too late to begin"
In similar vein he complimented
the successful students on beginning to
commence in time to win signal honor
for themselves and leave school-life for
real life with a commendable record
behind them.
The standing of the honor-students
as presented by Mr.. Tremper was as
follows:
1st place William Purnell, average,
93-4/9.
End place = Edna Anderson, aver
age 93-6 10.

5th place - Pearl Carey, average
89-13 /21.
The first honor-student, William
Purnell, is not only well-known in Ken
osha but also very popular with all
who know him. A wide but rapid read
er, he succeeds in keeping himself we'll
informed on questions of current in
terest and can be relied upon to pres
emit good comment in most any argu-
ment. The same quickness and
thoroughness have characterized his
school-work and have brought him the
signal honor of becoming the valedic
torian of the present Senior Glass.
The other honor-students have distin
guished themselves, not only as scholars
but also as young men and young wo-
men able to adapt themselves to vary
ing situations and always with a high
degree Of efficiency and charm.

CITES ENGLAND As EXAMPLE
Interesting Paper shows How
American Women Will Respond as
English Have Done - Miss Mary
Langen Reelected Club President.

Women have responded marvellous.
message brought by Mrs. Harvey Balm
to the Catholic Woman IS Club at its
regular meeting on Saturday afternoon
at the Knights of Columbus Hall in an
interesting paper on ''The Social,
Economic and Industrial Effects of the
War on Women" The paper was read
by Miss Minnie Tobin because of the
illness Of its author. It was shown by
statistics from England that women
had learned from the war to be of
more value to the industrial and
economic life of our great ally with
out interfering seriously with their
home and social duties.
The paper showed that while no sta
tistics could yet be given for the effect
of the war on women of America. it
had opened to them many new fields of
endeavor, in every one of which women
had shown themselves capable and
willing. The part which American
women have played in the great Liberty
Loan campaigns, in the women and war
work activities through the nation and
in filling up the second line trenches
was made clear in the paper. 1t was
also shown that Kenosha women had
heard and responded to the call of war
and in addition to sending their sons
and brothers to arms have done
their part in keeping the "home
fires burning" and supporting vari-
GUS war endeavors.
Prior to the paper of the afternoon,
Mrs. J. P. Taugher of the Marquette
Woman Is League, won the appreciation
of the fifty members of the Kenosha
club present at the. meeting with her
splendid presentation Of a group of
patriotic songs. Mrs. Tapgher, was
ably accompanied by Miss Schmidt,
also of Milwaukee.
The Kenosha Catholic Woman s Club
again showed its patriotism by sub
scribing for Liberty Loan bond of
the third issue in keeping with the Gus
tom established in the purchase of
bonds of the two former issues. Plans
were also laid for the continuation
Of the various patriotic activities
Of the club.
At the business meeting which pre-
ceded the regular meeting of the af-
ternoon, Miss Mary Langen was
unanimously reelected president of the
club for the ensuing year. Other of
ficers elected at the meeting were: Vice
President, Miss Euniee Marie White;
corresponding secretary, Mrs. Alice
Galligan; recording secretary, Mrs.
Jane Petersen; treasurer, Mrs. James
O'Connor. The reports tof the various
committees of the organization showed
that the past year had been one of the
most notable in the history of the
Kenosha Catholic Woman IS Club.
