LIVESTOCK MEN
ARE HARD HIT
BY LAST WINTER
(Mackay Miner)

The winter Of 1919-192O will go
down in history as being one Of the
severest blows to the livestock in
dustry that the western livestock
men have experienced since the win
ter of TO-. While the past winter
has been a severe one, yet is was not
this alone that caused the tremen-
dous loss of livestock throughout the
west. The summer of 1919 was one
Of the driest ever recorded in the
range country, and Idaho and the
northwest was particularly hard hit.
Livestock come off the range IN the
fall in very poor condition, and an
exceedingly short water year thru
out the whole irrigated section of
the northwest resulted in a, very
short and poor hay crop. Much Of
the hay of the first cutting was FROST
ed as was also the last cutting, and
coupled with the shortage, there
seemed to be lack of nutriment in
the feed. AS a result of the Y6or
condition of the cattle, the dried-up
fields affording but little pasture,
early SHOWS and long-continued
spell of cold weather, hay reached
the price of as high as $40 per ton,
forcing thousands and thousands Of
head of cattle on poor market last
fall and during the winter, and COM
polling stockmen to pay exceeding
ly high prices for feed stuffs. The
late spring is now contributing to
the distress generally, for very lit
tie, if any, livestock has been turned
on the ranges of the northwest. I'm
usual weather conditions prevail at
this time, with billiards. in many
western states, causing great losses
of livestock not only in transit as
the railroads have been blocked, but
also in the fields.
The forest service has investigat-
ed conditions and has decided upon
a policy to bring as much relief to
the stockmen as possible. Ernest
Winkler, inspector of grazing of the
fourth district, : is on a trip of in
spection to forest supervisors thru
out the district, and gives out the in
formation that all concessions posi-

Britain Quietly

!. LOND0N.-Quietly and unosten-
tatiously the government is cleans
ing London and other big English
ports of radical elements. There is
as yet nothing of the nature of a
general roundup in the movement
but numerous arrests are made dali
ly, most of the prisoners being Rus
slams, who are deported in patches
of twenty or so, whenever steamship
space is available.
A veritable panic has seized the
foreign denizens of London's east
side, who are scattering to less wide
awake cities in order to avoid the
slow moving but memorable sweep
of the governments dragnet.
The Stepney borough council to-
day protested formally against the
wholesale deportations of inoffen-
sive alien Jews" but the home office
replied that ten per cent of the de-
portees are undesirable because of
their criminal records while the re-
mainder are "conventionists," who
during the war elected to return
to Russia rather than serve in the
British army.
Five hundred of these, it is
averred, quietly returned, but the
home secretary declares that mas
much as they do notconsiderEng-
land worth fighting for they cannot
be permitted to reside in the United
The police is also taking in many
suspected Bolsheviki as well as alien
profiteers.

CHASED HIM AS BEGINNER
Retired Sea Captain Evidently Know Little of "lmpressionistic" School
 of Painting.

'I once engaged board and lodging at the house of retired New England sea captain" says a New York artist, "and from him I received some sincere advice.
 "One day, while I was busy paint ing, I became aware that the captain was standing behind me. gazing at the canvas over my shoulder.
 "'How do you like 1t? I asked.
 'Now, 1t chanced that the captains house has been without an artist boarder for several years and that l was the first follower of the impress sionist school it had ever harbored.
 "The old sea dog gazed thoughtfully at the lower righthand corner of the canvas where I had thrown a mass of parti- -colored splashes and splotches.
 "'Youre kinder young,' said the captain, kindly. ''This is your first summer outdoors at it?'
 "'Yes'
 "'Well, now, see here resumed the captain. There's two or three old palettes up in our shed chamber. You get one of those and try out your paints. You'll have to lose that whole corner of your canvas. I'll bet you. and it'll make your picture consider ably smaller. I wouldn't do that again if I was you.' "-Harper's Magazine.

 "I would hardly call it that" re- turned Sally in dulcet tones. whose very sweetness was more apt to kindle than turn away wrath; rather a disa- greement. You say that the only way to find place to rent is through agents, while I maintain that the best method Is to look around oneself"
 "Well. apparently neither way is likely to get us very far when there isn't place vacant within ten-mile radius of town," declared Jack in dis gust. "It sure looks as if we would have to begin married life in that abomination of abominations, a board ing house."
 'I say, Jack. let's make one more try. You go to every last agent, and I will over tonight and we'll compare notes. " Sally really didn't want to quarrel dur ing these very last days of being en- gagged, but Jack was so pigheaded when once he got an idea in his mindl
 "All right, dear" agreed Jack, run ming down the steps as his car ap- peared in the distance. He had stopped in on his way to the office. 'I'll bet my system will find habitation." It would never do to let a mere woman. even the very best one in the world, put it all over him when 1t came to a question of carrying thing through. He mentally registered a resolution to worry every real estate agent in Wrentham until in sheer desperation one handed over the keys of desir- able place.
 Sally herself barely saw Jack aboard his car to wave him last farewell be fore she set forth on a regular house hunt with a succeed-or-perish express sion on her pretty face.
 It was quite sadly true that houses to rent in Wrentham were decidedly at a premium. Sally and Jack had been searching for weeks now, tte very date of their wedding hanging fire until a home was secured into which to go on their return from their honeymoon.

FORTY IDEAL AGE FOR WOMEN
English Artist Sweeps Away Time Honored Ideas Having to Do
 With Spinsterhood.

There is a furry among English spinsters. A prominent artist has come to the conclusion that a girl of forty should be mans ideal. He sweeps away all the time-honored rub bish about spinsters at the age of forty being mostly interested in cats and canaries. Here is what he has to say about the new old girl.
 "The ideal age for a woman from the viewpoint of the man who studies the sex as an artist is forty years. The woman of forty is at the perfec- tion of her beauty and has attained a settled mentality which she did not possess as a girl in her teens, or as young woman in her twenties and thirties. At forty she is an ideal com panion, pleasantly matured, tolerant and understanding. Only the igno- ramuses in life find joy in the society of young girls or undeveloped wOmen."

BECAME PART OF LANGUAGE
Names of inventors and OrIginators of Articles In Daily Use Some
 times lmmortalized.

Few realize how many proper names become enshrined as part of the na- tion's language. The commonest ar- ticles of daily use and wear in some cases bear the name of their Origina- tor, or inventor Wellington boots, for instance, called after the "1ron Duke" and the macintosh now par tially superseded by the "Burberry."
 We drive on macadamized roads. It was Macadam who. about 120 years ago, invented our present system of roadmaking. Some of us still drive in "brougham," called after the fa- nous Lord Brougham.
 Boycott" already an English word, comes from Captain Boycott, the first to suffer under that system of terror ism.
 The earl of Sandwich, who invented the article of food which bears his name. fiourished in the time of George III, but Colonel Negus, who first made the drink bearing his name, was a contemporary of Queen Anne.
 The bowie knife was the invention of Colonel Bowie; the galvanic bat tery is called after it's inventor, Doc tor Galvani of Bologna. Mesmerism was practiced by the physician Mes mer about 1766; while the "Martinet." now term for strict disciplinarian, was the name of French colonel in the army of Louis XIV.

SEEK PHILIPS COLD
Effort to Salvage Spanish Gal-
 leon Goes MerriIy On.
Treasure Seekers Refuse to Give Up Hope of Securing Wealth From Flagship of Commander of
 "Invincible Armada"

Little did the duke of Medina-Sid nia, admiral in chief of the Invincible Armada, dream. as with high hopes he set sail from the Tagus on May 29, 1888, that his great galleon, the Flor rncia. would be sunk off Tobermory, on the coast of Scotland, and would be supplying treasure trove to adven- turous spirits more than three centu- rieS later in the year of grace 1919.
 The FlOrencia. which was popularly reported to be filled with gold, jewels her sister vessels in frantic attempt to get hack to Spain by rounding the north Of Scotland after the fateful war council had decided to abandon the unequal fight in the narrow seas of the English channel. This was the deci- sion which caused Sir Francis Drake to write jubilantly to Walsingham on July 31: '"There was never anything pleased me better than the seeing the enemy flying with southerly wind to the nOrthward. We have the Span- iards before us, and mind, with the grace of God, to wrestle a pull with them"
 The doomed ship had reached To- bermory when MacLean of Morven by well-directed shot succeeded in set sing fire to her powder magazine. The resultant explosion scattered the ves- sel and her contents far and wide over the sea bed. The immense wealth which she was believed to have on board has from that time to this ex- ercised over many minds as potent a fascination and spell as ever was yielded by dreams of discovering the treasures hidden by the buccaneers who sailed the southern seas.
 At length, after several desultory attempts at reaching her, a salvage company was formed in 1903, and Op- erations, begun then, have been con- tinued intermittently ever since. Enough was discovered to encourage perseverance, though not to reward enterprise - blunderbusses, swords, scabbards, bronze cannon and few doubloons. Several recent signs, how ever, indicate that the searchers are at last on the right track and will soon strike the main hull. Then, If ever, should the ships stronghold yield up it's long-lost treasure and add one more to the romances of the deep.

 Fully ten minutes ahead of his usual time Jacks quick step sounded on the veranda. Entering, he snatched a nasty kiss, then took Sally in his arms and executed speedy fox trot around the room.
 "Tve got ttl I've got 1t, Sally!" he cried. "The house of cur dreams, and half of the first months rent paid for Smile. Sally, sweetheart"
 For Sally was standing back, still in dismay, pushing him from her with determined hands. "For the love of Pete, Jack, what are you. talking about? It's I that's rented a house, not you, and paid half of the first months rent down!"
 The two erstwhile fsx trotters stood staring at each other in mutual mys- tification.

 "How did you know?" began Jack, bewildered. "Only $20 month and . two years lease."
 "Wait, Jack" said Sally calmly. She was not going to have her hopes reused and then dashed to the ground. "What was the name of the people who own it?"
 "Let me see," said Jack slowly, while Sally hung nervously on his words. q think 1t was Brown or Bronson or"

WANTED ALL HE COULD GET
Elderly Passenger In AirpIane Was Looking for Some Thrills for His Good Money.

Last summer Kokomo, Ind. had the usual airplane pilot who took pas sengers up for $1 minute. The pilot was approached one day by a man who was easily within earshot of eighty years. The pilot took him aboard and scared around in straight flying" in order not to give the elder ly passenger any thrills that would be dangerous to his heart action. After the customary fifteen minutes he slid gracefully to the ground and motioned his passenger to alight. The old man complied, and then walked up to the aviator.
 Say" he exclaimed, "are you 8 real flyer? What about Immelman turns, barrel rolls, loop-the-loops, nose dive, tail spin. falling leaf, pancake, and so on? Can you do any of those things?"
 Sure" replied the aviator, but did not think you cared about any of those things. They are trifle risky, you know, and might upset your stomach"
 "Well, paid for good ride and expected some of those things" the passenger countered, "and I would like to get them. Give me all you got. Tumble around in the air like a porpoise in the ocean,"
 The aviator told him to climb aboard and he would accommodate him. He gave the passenger "all he had"

NickeIs In London.

A letter in the Times of London points out the advantages England should gain by substituting nickel coins for bronze. To one who has merely visited Switzerland, this proposition re- quires little argument. In weight, bulk and convenience nickel Is unQuestion- ably preferable. With what ease can Swiss 2O-centime pieces to the value of, say, 2 shillings, be carried, as compared with ? shillings' worth of "copper!" And how this reform would tighten the bus conductors burden :! The combined weight of the 2O-cen- time, 1O-centime and 5-centime Swiss nickels Is, writes the Times cor respondent only 137 grains, against the 515 grains, which 3h pence weigh.

No wonder that both had become bit inclined to take 1t out on each other.
 Sally, swinging along, let her thoughts wander to the joy 1t would be actually to find a place and to be able to plan for the occupancy. In her minds eye she saw herself measuring for curtains and rugs or appraising bare rooms with a view to the pur- chase of furniture most suited to fill their emptiness.
 Lost in this pleasant meditation Sally noticed suburban car slowing up to let off a passenger. On the spur of the moment she stepped aboard. Thinking that she would go on to Hill- view Terrace Sally sat idly looking out on the green fields and occasional pretty shingled cottages she was pass ing.
 Suddenly she started. There was some sort of sign or other on a house she had just gone by. She jumped up and signaled to the conductor. When the car finally stopped 1t had carried her some distance beyond, and as she walked back she reflected cynically that 1t was probably just her luck to have the sign say "For Sale" instead of "For Rent"
 However, before she could read the sign she was able to see that the cot tage was a perfect darling" Small enough for two people to start in. 1t yet had an air of Individuality and charm all It's own. Gray shingled and low roofed. 1t nestled into the land scape as if 1t belonged there.
 A few young trees set out promised future shade; pocket handkerchief of lawn was compensated for in back by a spacious garden plot.
 Breaking rudely into these slightly premature dreams. the sign thrust itself upon Sally's view. Hacked to the veranda railing, Fresh Paint" 1t read.
 At that moment a young. trimly dressed woman opened the door of the cottage to place letter in the mail box. Seeing Sally, who stood eyeing the house almost vindictively. she he's ttated.
 Sally. in despair, broke forth: "I don't suppose you could tell me of any place around here for rent?
 "Why. that's funny" said the other slowly; i've decided last night to rent this place. We had been fixing it up to sell. fresh paint and all, but now we think we'll rent. My husband was going to the agent this morning to put 1t in his hands,"
 "Well. you don't know how glad l am!" cried Sally fervently. ''That is, If you will rent 1t to me!'
 The woman looked doubtfully, but only for a minute. "I don't know why not" she said. "Tm sure the agent hasn't had time to do anything with 1t yet"
 A few minutes later Sally stood wait ing for her car. In her bag was very precious document. receipt for $1O half of the first months rent. to bind the bargain.
 That evening Sally waited for Jack with great elation. mingled with very tiny bit of apprehension. Her method had worked; she actually had found
