JACK FROST NOT so BAD

Jack Frost is an embarrassing wis itor if he comes too early or stays too late, but in the main he's benef- icent old duffer, and not the enemy of plant life that he supposed to be, according to an article in the Journal of Agricultural Research, written by F. V. Coville, botanist of the United States department of agriculture. The article records a series of exper- iments with healthy blueberry plants, and shows the relation of freezing winter temperatures to plant growth in the spring. One fact stands clear in the resuit-the dorman condition of the plant in winter is not the re- in the result--the dormant condition CT hand. cold stimulates the revival of life in the plant when spring comes again, it is said.
 Such an explanation of the effect of cold is new to the everyday reader. who is used to looking upon winter air as detrimental to plant life, fore ing the shrub into a dormant state scarcely better than death. But healthy, husky blueberry bushes which MT. COville sheltered in his greenhouse went to sleep just the

FRUIT OF BUSINESS YEARS

If some ne entered your office right now and asked you to write down what youn years in business have taught you. what reply would you make
 No matter how many years you have been in business, whethSr five or fifty, your contact with men and women and the experiences you have must have taught you something worth while.
 Is it possible for you to condense what you have learned into & few short sentences?
 To illustrate what mean let me set down here what A. B. Farquhar says 65 years in business have taught him.
 l. That it is as a rule. safe to trust human beings. Comparatively few are unfair. if you are fair yourself. 2. That troubles and apparent diff faculties are but stepping stones to progress-the most practical way of learning-and as Greeley said. "The way to resume is to resume"
 B. That there is nothing that will take the place of work either to gain success or to gain happiness or to gain both-and I think it is possible to gain both If in striving and work above the man. 4. That one can and must keep faith with and in ones self. 5. That God is not mocked. $. That ones only enemy is ones self. In the ultimate no one car hurt you but yourself. -O Ivory Is obtained from the tusk oi | the narwhal, an Arctic animal.

HOME WITHOUT WALLS

A spacious and handsome house, without any walls or doors is the extraordinary dwelling which serves as a home for Berkeley, Cal, law yer and family.
 This wall-less house Is no make shift dwelling, but substantially and artistically built according to the spe- cial design of the mother of a large family, who felt that all concerned would live more natural and health full lives if unprotected by walls and artificial heat. The home is so un. usual that it is not easy to describe 1t in ordinary architectural terms. It consists essentially of a long con crete floor protected by a roof of corresponding shape and size, sup ported by beautiful Corinthian pii- lars of concrete, nearly IS feet high. The roof is shaped like a turtle hack and is pierced by two large circular skylights, set with transparent glass. These lights are particularly useful

same, despite the fact that the air was kept at a growing temperature. The shrubs, he admits, didn't go to bed so early as they did when Jack Frost used to hurry them off, but go to sleep they did. Their leaves dropped off, and in the warm green house the plants went into dormant condition exactly like that of others outside in the cold and snow. More over. they were late in waking when spring came. Some, indeed, slept through the whole year.-Department of Agriculture Report.

Wichita River Co.
to Be Operatedby
Electric Current

Stamford, Texas, Aug 29.-Ac-
cOrding 10 advices 10 the Irrigation
Committee of the West Texas Cham
Der Of Commerce, the Wichita River
Irrigation System at Wichita Falls,
will be so electrified rs TO furnish
all necessary power for light and
power purposes in Wichita Falls and
vicinity.
II has been considered certain all
along that electric current would be
available for residents of the farm
ing community in the district and
the electric plant in this city is equip
ped already TO furnish current for
that purpose. At Saturdays meeting,
however, the directors discussed the
advisability of making the electrical
installation in advance Of the CON
struction work. The necessity for
this arises from the face that il will
be difficult to obtain water that is
suitable for boiler purposes, If steam
were to be the source of power. Wi
chita River is VIGOROUSLY unsuitable,
in its natural state, for use in boil
crs.
Members of the board expressed
the belief that with SO TO 70-foot
fall Of water at the main dam, it
would undoubtly be- found feasible
TO generate electricity there. making
a hydroelectric plant a prominent
feature of the undertaking.
Electric current can be used for
variety of power purposes during
the construction of the system. After
completion il can be employed for
farm power purposes, for lighting
homes and for operating the pumps
along the canals. The main dam is
said to be capable of generating suf-
ficient power not only for all irriga-
ton purposes but to supplement the
plant in Wichita Falls at the very
low cost of one-half cent per kilowatt
hour.
In preparing the advertisements for
bids Saturday morning the directors
inserted provision for alternative
bids to be considered in the event
that the electric installation is made
before the work is started. The
furnishing Of such current would ma
terially reduce the expense of the
contractors and the district would get
the benefit Of that reduction.
Members Of the board considered
il certain that rail facilities of some
sort will eventually be provided be
tween the city and the dam site. II
is not thought necessary, however,
that provision be made for this prior
TO the completion Of the project, and
such hauling as is will be by truck or
wagon from the most convenient
point, either Iowa Park or Seymour.
Construction Of "A steam or electric
line in the years 20 come, members
Of the board thought, will be cont
gent largely upon the district popu-
lation and the tonnage il develops.
With Saturdays meeting Of the
Board, all preliminaries incident 70
the sale of the bands have been dis
posed Of Although the present con
dition Of the bond market is far from
encouraging, il is hoped 20 consum-
mate a trade before long In the
meantime, all other preparations for
the actual beginning are going for
ward steadily.

Business Pulse Beat
Is Much Stronger
All Over Texas


Business Is reported TO be improy-
ing all over Texas and industries TO
be running full time In most indus
trial districts. As compared with
last week reports show distinctly bet
ter feeling on the part Of the farmers
and business men. Farm crops gem
emily with the exception Of cotton
are excellent. There Is ample food
and feedstuifs for the needs of the
several communities and to spare.
Preparations for feeding the Texas
grain crops to fatten Texas cattle
for the market are under way to a
greater extent than ever before.
Industries in the several industrial
districts Of Texas are reported oper-
ating full time.
The shortage of the cotton crop is
very real. In addition to the re
duction in acreage planted to cotton
there has been great damage by IN
sect pests and the crop is so reduced
as to indicate a higher price than had
been expected. Lands not devoted
to cotton have produced abundant
crops of grain and the situation OF
the Texas farmer is not so bad as
Il might have been on the one-crop
theory Of farming.
Merchants are generally buying
sparingly and consumers are IN the
market only for things they need.
The period Of thriftiness that has sue
ceeded a period of extravaganza Is
viewed by business interests with
equanimity and the belief is general
that a season of prosperity based on
sound principles Of production and
marketing and careful spendig is now
nj, hand In Texas.--Dallas News.

MAY RECALL YANkS
FROM RHINE NEXT

Washington, D. c., Aug. 27.--
Withdrawal of the American forces
on the Rhine is expected TO be con-
sidered by the administration once
the peace treaty between the United
States and Germany has been form
ally ratified. The view is understood
to be held that there will be then no
necessity of burdening Germany with
the expenses Of the forces which she
is obliged to pay.
There was no consideration of the
subject in the negotiations leading up
to the treaty so far as is known. Ac-
cording to latest figures there are
$4,000 American troops in the army
of occupation at maintenance cost
Of nearly a million dollars a month.
