The Columbus Chamber Of Com
merce has turned its attention toward
the development Of its agricultural re-
sources. Now, It is on the right
track. There is more genuine wealth
in the soil than in any other industry,
anyway, and what does It matter if
Columbus should not get in on the
mining boom; she can be thriving
city just the same.

Rain began falling here Yesterday
afternoon, promising to do some good.
The farmers are busy, many of
them working short handed to garner
their crops. Some Of the grain Yields
are very light, while others are
reported much better than had been
expected. The few fields of winter
wheat are yielding well. Lack of the
usual rains in large part of this
locality is responsible for the low
yields in hay and spring grains.
Thieves entered the private garages
or j. Biemond and IL. A. Hunsley
one evening last week. it is reported,
and got away with an automobile
tire from each OF the places. Mrs.
IL. w. Steele reports the loss of 25
chickens from her hen house south Of
town. and on Tuesday evening some
one entered the home of G.. S. Wool
cry and family while they were absent
and stole gold ring and a $40 bill.
So far as known no effort has been
made to apprehend the culprits.
The fnal payment on the Third
Liberty Loan bonds with accrued
interest amounting to 80 cents ou
each $50 is due and should be paid on
or before August IL, at the Rath-
drum State bank. Anyone desiring
to have his per cent bonds of prior
issue converted to the Al per cent
bonds should bring them to the bank
within SIX months from May 9th last.
Actual expenses, postage and insur-
ance, will have to be borne by the

At present no permits are being

for canning, says Thomas w. Neill,
county food administrator, Ia a COM
munication received Tuesday by Q.

means that persons who have already
gotten so pounds of sugar for can
ming cannot get any more under the
regulations now in force.
Mr.. Neill says he hopes that when
peaches and pears come In permits
NAV be issued for an additional 25
pounds of sugar, but he has no
assurance that this will be the case.

Los Angeles is said to contain more
beautiful girls than any other city in

it is the graveyard of more dead
hopese than any other city in the

is the Mecca toward which aspirants
for scresen honors constantly head.
Girls, whose foolish heads have been
turned by local praise, journey to the
"City of the Angels" only to find
that thousands of other girls, all Just
as anxious to appear in motion pic
turese, and as pretty, or even pref
tier, have been compelled to take up
less romantic pursuits because of the
dearth of screen engagements. One
girl, however, who was more fortu-
nate than the rest, is Mildred Harris,

duction. Fate smiled benignly when
Miss Harris arrived at Los Angeles

REFORESTAT|0N|
BADLY NEEDED
(ByAssociated Press)

Hazleton, Pa, May 10-Because the
operators of anthracite coal mines
need timber, an impetus has been Civ
en- to the reforestation of the noun
tains and hills in the mining region.
The scarcity of lumber for mine pill
lars and other mine uses has led to
the creation of forestry department
by several of the large mining COM
paniese, one of which has just refor-
ested Bear Creek watershed with
5000 white pine and 500 Norway
spruce trees. Thirty thousand more
trees are in process sof cultivation at
Hauto, Pa, in the Panther Creek val
ley.
If timber is ready to cut in the vi
cinity of the minese, the troublesome
waits and long. hauls will be elimi-
mated. More timberland in the an
thracite region would stop floods. add
to the water supply, reduce the
drought periods and enable the an
thracite industry to add to its out
put. This would be done through
better protection thus afforded to the
stripping areas in mines, which would
add to the speeding-up ability. Many
thousands of acres are available about
the mines for reforestation.
