The Aviator's Anabasis

In our comparatively safe and sane portion of terra firma it brings thrill to learn of the escape of the American balloonists who started from Rock away December 13, landed in the Canadian wild at Moose Factory the following day. The remoteness the snow beeaguered spot is shown by the fact that it the Indian who brought the first tidings. two weeks make his way the railway ne three fliers had food for only three days. The balloon could do nothing to control it's course, except that the use ballast change the level might enable it to find blowing the desired direction. The balloonsts were at the mercy of a storm that swept them into the inhos-. pitable hnterland of the Adirondacks and that from various quarters the fate of the brave caused them be given up for lost in many quarters. But their colleagues in the navy continued hold hope, based on the experience and character of Lieutenant Hinton and his col leagues. The former one of the pioneers of the transatlantc flight in the famous NC-4 It can never be said that single left untred what became of the aeronauts after they disappeared many days ago. Every possible agency of rescue. on both sides of the. international boundary, was pressed into service.
 Moreover, wives and families did not give up hope; they endured faith and prayer through the Christmas season-so cheerful for everybody else and gloomy for them-and insisted that what seemed miracle would happen and restore to them their dear They were encouraged in their blind belief by what happened in the case of Hawker and Grieve, rescued in midAtlantic after their flight May, 1919 from Newfoundland. But in the latter case the interval of suspense only six days, whereas in the present instance the errant bal loon three weeks elapsed. It is a striking eommen- tary the nearness of the primitive wild to the teeming metropolis of the New World that although it takes long to away a dog sledge, the spot is only days balloon journey that of the United States.
 The perious experience of these armon win not a deterrent to further attempts of the same sort Rather it will serve stimulus to other ambitious and energetic spirits. The trip was not a failure though the is overland trail instead of by the pathway of the birds. From every such experiment comes knowledge of great value whereby those who succeed the pioneers able to improve upon the pattern and consummate the undertaking whose feasibility demonstrated by those who came first

Some Facts About
 Sweet Clover '
BY j. B. FRANCIS

While | do not at all advocate our
 again collectively going ''hog wild over any one particular crop in this valley, especially any new and com paratively unknown crop such as
 sweet clover, do feel that any farmer
 wishing good early spring pasture can well afford to put in a few acres of
 clover Many being still somewhat
 mystified regarding the characteristics of this plant ] will state briefly some of the necessary points.
 Without being traitorous to our trls<ss and true standby, alfalfa. l may con servatively say that sweet clover is its superior as a forage crop, and at tfis opportune time comes as great DoSss to the regeneTa ted dairy farmers. It will not displace alfalfa as hay crop when the latter is successfully devel- 1 oped, but supplies, for pasture. an ex- cellent quality feed, which will not bloat stock, and of a hardness and abundance that permits of excessive 1 pasturing without injury. In connec- ton with this I might suggest that good stand of sweet clover should be pastured heavily, as if allowed to grow l too rank it becomes too stalky. l Where permitted to grow for hay or ! in cases where 1t gets ahead of the
 stock it may be fenced separate and moved, the average yield being from | two to four tons to the acre. It should l be cut when about two feet high. ieaN- l ing about an eight-inch stubble. as a.
 too close cutting is apt to Kill. While | 1t requires, on the average, a little more
 time to cure than alfalfa, the general l process is similar, and being slightly richer than alfalfa in protein and fat! the product is very fair quality hay. As ensilage, too, it is very satisfae- tory and when used in such manner may be grown rather coarse.
 Like all legumes it is most prolific
 of root structure. ranking second only to vetch as soil builder through the
 medium of it's heavy lateral roots Like
 alfalfa it develops nitrogen attracting
 root nodules, but it has been demon
 strated that without the aid of aru- ficial bacterial inoculation 1t is not
 success. Of course, like every other | crop. it is not always q success nor will inoculation circamvent lax or im- perfect conditions of soil. seed. sun shine or support, but where stand is 1 secured the farmer is assured good
 crop. which. though not immediately palatable. will feed stock well ano
 profitably

NEW YORK-Its queer thing. But prohibition to have played the very Old Harry with the pam handling business. One of the Bowery regulars told the story He said his overhead has been increased and his income diminished.

On September tenth, the
wife of John B. Pierce died at

after an operation for appen-
dicitis. Her death was par
ticularly sad as she was re-
covering from the operation in
fine shape when blood clot
formed and almost instantly
stopped the action of the
heart. Mr.. Pierce was engag-
ed in farming 1S0 acres of
land owned by C. G.. Grout,
northwest of Monte Vista. and
on account of the harvest of
his crop of potatoes, he has
had to remain here to attend
to that before returning to
Oklahoma with the body of
his wife. The body is being
kept at the Woods mortuary
until Pierce settles up his af-
fairs here which will be anoth-
er week. Next Saturday, Octo-
Der %, he will have a sale of
household goods in Monte
Vista and with his daughter,
aged 10, and son, II, return
to Oklahoma where Mrs.
Pierce many times expressed
the desire to return to live.
They will drive through in a
car and the body of Mrs.
Pierce will be shipped by

ST0CKHOLDER ASKS
DISTRIBUTION IN
FAIR GROUNDS CASE

A petition has been filed in
the District Court directed
against w. j. Clark, w. A..
Magill and w. A. Bronaugh,
surviving directors of the
board last acting before the
dissolution of the old Monte
Vista Driving Park and Agri-
cultural Association, and un-
der the law trustees for the
stock holders of the said as
sociation, for a distribution of
the 100000 fund in their
hands resulting from the sale
Of the Fair Grounds to the
City of Monte Vista. This is
the aftermath of the interest
ing litigation over the owner
ship OF the old fair grounds,
which are now used to stage
the annual stampede. The
Trustees are required under
order of Court to give notice
to all the stock holders of the
proceeding and that they may
file their stock or claims and
distribution will be made un-
der order of court as the situ-
alton may develop.
At the time the decision
was rendered in the Fair
Grounds suit there was a gen
eral disposition on the part Of
many of the owners of stock
to assign their stock and their
interest in the resulting fund
to the city and it is sincerely
to be hoped that this may be
the result as the city is called
apon at this time to finance
4 number of small local i'm
rrovements. which, in the
present state of city finances
is an exceedingly difficult
matter.
