A VISION OF 2420

Those nuimaginative people who
believe the high pitch of inventive
genius was reached with the advent
OF electricity, talking machines. air
planes and X-Iay will be interested
to know that civilization on this
planet has really just begun. DR.. A.
M. Low, a London engineer. with
many inventions to his credit. saws
900 years hence our descendants will
look back upon conditions in 1920
with Just such feelings Of amused
pity as we show for the state of the
savages of prehistoric times.
The scientist predicts among other
things that in 2420 A. d. all public
thoroughfares and parks will be un-
foreground, vehicles will be u by
wireless. telephones will carry an at
tachment enabling the speakers to
see each other, and all roads will be
as smooth as billiard balls.
DR.. Low, who invented a motor
scooter and has produced an appara-
tus for seeing simple objects by wire,
in a recent interview in London said
in part:
When a man sets out for business
he will not proceed. as he does now,
by tramway car or train; he will pass
along delightful underneath
the surface of the earth. Parks and
all other places of public resort and
beauty will be rooted in.
Motor carc and all motor vehicles
will proceed by wireless power and
not by the crude method of using
petrol. They will be fitted up like lux
uriously appointed drawing-rooms
and will be driven at a rate of 100
miles an hour. Wireless telephones
will be installed in the cars, as well
as every kind of appointment making
for luxury and comfort. Many people
will own these cars."-New York Sun
and Herald.
II is pretty hard for a man who
has a racing automobile not to make
a fool of himself.

KEEPING CARBON OUT

About two ounces of mixture OF
equal parts of alcohol and kerosene
poured into each cylinder about twice
a week, when the car is run into the
garage for the night. will keep the
engine clean of carbon.
During the night the mixture softens
the carbon deposit. When the motor
Is started the mex day, the mixture
Is driven out through the exhaust,
and with 1t the loose carbon. Con-
tinue this process twice a week and
there will be no carbon trouble.
The amount OF carbon deposited in
the engine may may be determined
BY the ease with which 1t knocks
when the load is applied. II the
motor knocks easily. especially when
the spark is advanced to the usual
position, 1t is time for the carbon to
be removed.

FORTUNES IN LIQUOR
POURED IN SEWER

Its a crime to destroy so much
good liquor" was the general opinion
OF the spectators who watched Depu-
ties Lamon and McMullen open hun
dreds of bottles of bonded whiskey
and let II gurgle Down the sewer this
week and knock the heads of four
50-gallon barrels of old red wine.
Oh. 1t was a ruthless exhibition of
what prohibition has brought about.
and 1t took two officers Is hours to
finish the job, says the Elko Free
Press.
There we're three hundred gallons
Of fine blended whiskey. 200 gallons
of wines in barrels and a lot of mis-
cellaneous liquors, from creme de
menth to Old Gordon gin. some in
the original bottles and some in wick
er bottles and demijohns, and a few
bottles Of homemade booze, all cap
tured by the sheriff in his raids since
prohibition went into effect. Added
to this were several hundred barrels
OF bottled beer which were destroyed
some time ago
AT the price whiskey is selling here
to-day, $25 per bottle. the whole
amounted to more than $35, 900, and
nothing is left but the empty bottles.

HIGH WAGES FOR FARMHANDs

highest wages probably eve offered
in this section of the country for an
ordinary farmland appears in an ad-
vertisement this week of a local
farmer, who will give $25 a week and
board and a day off each week. So
far he has had no applicants. although
II has been five days since the ap-
pearance of the advertisement.
Farmers are desperate on account of
their inability to secure help. which
is far more scarce than during the
war.

Liberalizing The 64O-Acre Act

The s40-Acre Stock-R Raising Home
.,sad Bill became a law on December
40 1916. In the regulations issued
~ the Commissioner Of the General
land Office shortly after the passage
n that bill it was stated:
The lands to be designated are
,Aose the surface of which is, In the
00Inion of the Secretary of the In
,srior. chiefly valuable for grazing
and raising forage crops, which do not
contain merchantable timber, are not
susceptible Of irrigation from any
Known source of water supply, and
.re of such character that $40 r
are reasonably required to support a
family. The classification will be
made. so far as practicable, to ex-
clude lands that are not chiefly valu-
able for grazing and raising forage
crops. either because too valuable for
such use or o poor for such use.
Among the instructions issued by
the Secretary of the Interior relative
10 the classification of land and des-
ignation under this act was the fol-
lowing:
II is the intent of this act to pro-
vide a homestead OF such character
that $40 acres are reasonably re-
ouired for and may. under ordinary
conditions, be expected to support a
family by s~tock-raising. 1t is incon-
sistent with this intent to permit the
Of lands which. because of aridity,
roughness, or altitude, are worthless
for grazing, or which, while OF some
grazing value. will produce no forage
crops.
1t is plain, not only from the word
ing Of the act, but from the regula-
tons and instructions issued there
under, that no land was to be desig-
mated which was deemed too poor 10
support a family on $40 acres. The
work Of classification and designa-
ton, withdrawal of water-holes, and
d%riveways. was delegated to the Geo
logical Survey, and II was conducted
as speedily as possible. Many filings
we're made on land which the officials
Of the Geological Survey regarded as
too poor to come within the terms of
the act or the instructions under
they were operating. Conse-
such land was o designated
In many such cases appeal was made
to the Secretary of the Interior. These
have been coming up for con-
during the past two months
and In practically every instance the
secretary has decided in favor of the
applicant and ordered the landfled on
10 be designated. AS a result OF these
decisions on appeal, II is evident that
the policy Of the Department of the
has been materially modified,
so far as 1t relates to land which may
be considered too poor to reasonably
support a family. In fact, the decis-
under these appeals indicate that

my restrictions in the designation of
