ROLAND HOFFMAN FALLS
~ FEET FROM TREE
Boy Sustains Serious Internal lnju.
ries, But Is Reported To BE Re.
covering in Twin Falls Hospital

Roland Hoffman, 9-year-old son OF
K. J. Hoffman, narrowly escaped
sustaining fatal injuries last Satur-
day afternoon when he fell 8 feet
from tree, striking the hard
ground. The entire force Of the fall
seemed to take effect over the boys )
stomach. no serious bruises appear
ing on other parts of his body. For
several hours it was thought that
the internal injuries would make an
operation necessary. Accordingly,
Ronald was taken in a car to a hos
pital at Twin Falls. late Saturday
night 1t was decided finally not
to operate on him. Reports indicate
that he is getting along fine, and
will be able to come home soon.
The way Ronald happened to fall
from the tree was like this. He
and number of other children were
playing along the street in front OF
his home. A last years birds nest
was discovered on q small limb of a
tree. The limb was too small for the
larger children to venture on. but
Ronald thought he might safely ven
ture that far. He climbed ont or
the limb, but lost his hold and fel
to the hard street below.

OR|LLERS REACH
DEPTH0F 300 FEET
STRIKE ARTESIAN WATER
MORE AND STILL MORE OF IT.;
MAY SOLVE PROBLEM OF WA
TER SHORTAGE,

The well on the I'D ranch, ~
miles south of Oakley. has reached a
depth OF over 500 feet. Drilling
goes right ahead, in spite OF the fact
that immense quantities OF artesian
water have been encountered.
1t is estimated that the stream Of
artesian water measures over a hum
dred inches. Thus it is seen that c..
G. Ellison, the owner of the ranch,
has already profited by reason of the
we'll. According to the agreement
between the landowners and the
Pearl Oil and Gas Company, the for
mer are to have possession OF any
water that may be struck.
1t now looks as IL the coming
OF D. P Carpenter to Oakley with
his oil rigs would not only bring the
prosperity that accompanies the dis
covery OF oil. but would also help
solve the problem OF water shortage.
II an abundance OF artesian water
can be secured at moderate depths,
Oakley Valley can be made the best
agricultural section in the world.

FARMERS SHOULD TAKE
INVENTORIES

The commissioner of internal rev.
enue has given notice that farmers $
inventories taken at market value
less cost of marketing will hereafter
be accepted in determining income
tax Up to the time of this ruling
there were instances where revenue
men refused to accept farm invtn-
tories, saying they could not be used
under any conditions. This often
meant an increased tax for the far
mer to pay. The farmers always
have argued that they should be al
lowed to take inventories. the same
as business men do, and that only
by Inventories could proper deter:
mination OF income tax be made
One instance is cited where the re-
fusal OF an inventory cost a farmer
more than $500.

An effort Is being made In New Or
leans to restore the old historic spots
around the city. With the restorat tien
Of the old Place d'Armes, the fahabili-

was destined to convert into Nouvelle

lies on the river directly facing the

Supporters of the Louisiana State
museum have appealed to the mayor
and the various civic organizations to
have these sheds and railroad tracks
removed at once. inasmuch as the
lund, clear from the CabildO to the
river itself, was appropriated some
time ago to be put In historical and

Mexicans Hold Strange Beliefs.

Bernard Nordhoff in the Atlantic
Monthly. There the witches assume

candle flames still point the way to

his cruelty TO domestic beasts from
both the Spuniard and the Indian, and
his superstitions may be traced to ths
same double source.
Eccentricity Is not understood in
Mexico. The native is a lover of for

external things. Each man dresses

IN REGARD TO HIGHER RATES
FOR ADVERTISING

Frank Beckwith, formerly our fell
low townsman. is making splendid
success OF The Millard County
Chronicle, at Delta, Utah. He shows
good business enterprise in revising
his advertising rates in accord with
the present high cost of publishing
newspaper.
Last week we received his latest
rate card, to take effect March 1,
1920. With circulation Of 600, he
will charge $1.25 per column inch
per month on all regularly contrac-
ted matter running full number of
issues per month; il less than full
number OF insertions per month,
40c per column inch per insertion.
One insertion only per month, soc
per column inch.
withs rates are too high. The cost
OF paper on which news is printed
is four times as high as it was before
the war, and everything else enter
ing into the making of a newspaper
has at least doubled. There is no
sign that the price of paper will fall.
On the other hand, it looks as If pa
per would continue following its ha-
bit of advancing 20 per cent every
few weeks. The shortage Of news
print is SO great that we regard our
selves as lucky to be able to get it
at any price.
We wish we had the courage to
advance our rates as high as Frank
Beckwith' 1T wouldn't be cent
too high. The raise in The Herald
rates will be small---from % cents
per column inch per issue to 20 cents
per column inch per issue. Even II
the price OF newsprint hadn't ad-
vanced. the Herald's growth in cir
culation alone would have justified
a greater raise than this.
The rate of 20 cents per column
inch is the one applying to regular
advertisers There will be an extra
charge for political advertising, and
for copy that is not brought in by a
regular advertiser.
We are planning to make The
Oakley Herald more than ever wor-
thy of your support.

NATURE NEVER IN A HURRY
Taking Lesson From Wise Old Moth
Or, Man Will Learn to Curb His
Foolish impatience.

We sometimes get impatient at the
slOwnes~ Of world improvement. We
see the cruelties Of great war, cruel
ties beyond belief, and we are sick ut
heart to think the world Is not In
mood overnight to abolish war. We
see ignorance leading to poverty and
wretchedness and we wonder that ed
ucation Is not made universal at once
We see prevcntnble sickness produc-
Ing disability and suffering and we
are hopeless mt the slow dissemination
Of modern medical knowledge and pre-
ventive measures.
And then It Is borne in on us that
Nature never Is in hurry. Out in
Colorado the Rocky mountains turn
s a tumbling sea Of peaks toward the
sky. Standing on the summit of Pixies
or Longs AMI looking or Of that chaos
Of rock one naturally thinks some
frightful convulsion Of Nature threw
up these mighty peaks.
But that thought is wrong. GeolO-
gists have learned that the mountain
ranges were slowly and lmperccptibly
carved ont by the action OF rain and
snow and frost and ice. First the
highlands slowly emerged from the
ocean. Then the rains and streams
and glaciers made gulies and left the
peaks. An observer returning mt cen
tury intervals probably would have
seen sight change. But eventually
the work was done and the mountains
made.
That Is the way Nature operates.
Man can afford to curb his impatience.

BEDDING OUT SYSTEM
OF HANDLING SHEEP

On sheep ranges which are prop
erly stocked the principal concern is
TO employ methods Of herding which
will tend to distribute the band uni
formly over the area instead Of mas
sing or punching it. Range destruc-
tion results through soil packing and
the exposure of the roots Of the veg
citation due to the animals being
driven lin a compact body or allowed
to trail over the side hills in exces-
sive numbers.
Investigations with different
methods of handling sheep have
clearly demonstrated that the ami
mails do bes when allowed to Craze
at will and bed out whenever night
overtakes them. Typical summer
range grazed by sheep under fence
where the band was not herded at
all, demonstrated that it requires
from rs to SO per cent less range
than where the sheep were handled
under the old system of more or less
close herding and where they were
driven to the same bed ground for
several successive nights. The
practice OF bedding the sheep in
new location each night is known as
bedding OUT, "burro", or "blan-
ket" system.
/ The marked increase in the carry
ing capacity of forest ranges which
has resulted largely from improved
methods OF handling sheep has led
many stockmen to adopt the bedding
out system. Approximately fifty
per cent or more of the sheep grazed
on national forests are now herded
under this improved method.
The chief advantages Of the bed
ding out system over the old method
of using established bedding grounds
are: CD the band is always on fresh
feed; (4)lambs are not overworked
by being dogged while returning to
the bed ground; (3)the range does
not become overgrazed through re-
peated trampling; (4)less range is
required; CD the lambs weigh be-
end of the grazing season; and (6)
sheep require less water as feed is
available in tn early morning whea
the plants are covered with dew.
The equipment necessary to han
die band of sheep under the new
system is practically the same as
that used under the old with one ex-
ception. Under the bedding out sys-
tenn the herder has small "tepee"
for use in case of storms when it is
not possible for him to return to his
supply or headquarters for the night
Some herders use burro or sadie
horse to transport their bed and te-
pee, but this is seldom necessary.
In view Of the increase in gains
made by the sheep and the improved
carrying capacity OF the range result
ting from the open or bedding out
system it is probable that practically
all sheep men will soon adopt this
meritorious system.
