green feed is sparse and contains SO
small an amount Of food substance
that it is necessary for an animal to
travel great distances to gather daily

Range depletion is due In a large
measure to premature grazing and t.
lack Of uniform utilization of the for
age crop, investigations now being car.
ried on at the Great Basin experiment
station by grazing specialists in the
forest service of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture show. These
experiments, which have been con.
Quoted over fOur-year period, have
been for the purpose Of ascertaining
just how certain range bunch grasses
are affected by different systems of
grazing.
1t was found that the yield of violet
wheat grass when removed by cutting
once in a season, at the time the seed
crop matured, was four and two
tenths times as large as when 1t was
removed four times in season and
three and eight-tenths times as large
as when heritage was removed twice
In the season.
Native bronze grass, on the other
hand, yielded six times as much when
harvested twice during the season,
but the yield from one cutting was
three and three -tenths times as much as
when 1t was removed four times. This
means in range revegetation that the
grass native there must be taken into
consideration and a system of grazing
used that is suitable to 1t.
The experiments also showed the
striking difference in water content
In heritage as the season advances. In
the LEAKAGE Of the violet wheat grass
harvested once in season, just before
seed maturity, the water content aver

season contained an average of 70
per cent of water. Early in the spring

much as IS per cent of water. This

GRAPE JUICE is REFRESHING
excellent for Use In Hot Weather and
as Base for Desserts II Cannot
Be Excelled,

Much grape juice is canned at home
nowadays, for 1t makes one of the
most refreshing drinks In hot weather
and as a base for desserts it cannot
be excelled. The following dessert
recipes, using unfermented grape Juice
have been suggested by the United
States Department Of Agriculture:
Grape Sherbet.
Mix one pint of grape juice, the
jll,'e Of ole lemon, and one heaping
teaspoonful of gelatine dissolved in
boiling water; freeze quickly; add the
beaten egg white of one egg when al
most frozen. This quantity is suf-
ficient for eight persons.
Grape Ice Cream.
Mix one quart Of grape Juice, one
quart of cream, one pound Of sugar
and the juice Of one lemon. Freeze.
SyIIabub.
Mix one quart Of fresh cream, the
whites of four eggs, one glass Of grape
juice, and two cupfuls Of powdered
sugar. Whip half the sugar with the
cream, the balance with the eggs; mix
well; add the grape juice; pour over
sweetened strawberries and pineapples
or oranges and bananas. Serve cool
Bohemian Cream.
Mix one pint Of thick cream and
one pint Of grape-juice jelly; pour in
to small cups and set on ice. Serve
with lady fingers.

formulas In having in most instances
larger percentage Of potato, in the
absence of beans and peas, and in
having various minor additions, such
as beets, celery, radishes and toma-
toes
In making up combinations Of dried
vegetables, the housekeeper should re-
member that the mixture must subse-
quently be soaked and cooked as a
unit, and only vegetables that absorb
water and cook at approximately
equal rates can be successfully COM
bined In a dry condition. Such mate
rails as the root vegetables, cabbage,
celery, tomatoes and onions behave
alike both in their absorption Of water
and in cooking, according to special
lists of the United States Department
Of Agriculture. Any desired COM
bination can be made from them.
Dried corn and mature peas and
beans absorb water very much more
slowly and must be cooked from two
to three times as long as materials in
the list just given. For this reason
they cannot be mixed with other
vegetables before soaking. Instead,
they should be separated, soaked, and
partly cooked. Then the other vege-
tables desired in the mixture, after
previous soaking, may be added and
the whole cooked until done.
How to Dry Vegetables.
Practically all vegetables, after be-
ing sliced or otherwise made ready
for the drier, should be blanched from
one TO three minutes In boiling water
or steam before drying. They should
then be drained and spread in a very
thin layer on the shelves of the drier
From time to time the trays should
be withdrawn and the contents care
fully stirred so the product will dry
evenly.
When thoroughly dry the product
should be removed from the drier and
placed in dark airy room free from
insects. Stir occasionally during the
several days it is left there to cure.
Then heat carefully again for few
minutes and store in tin cans, heavy
pasteboard boxes, or parafIined bags.
Cover tightly to exclude insects and
store in room which is warm and
dry.

So serious is the situation that
seventeen members of parliament have
issued a Call to Labor" Havelock
Wilson, during the war head of the
s.amen's union and the greatest en-
emy of the German submarines heads
them. 1t tells workers that a blow
at general prosperity affects personal
prosperity. 1t recognizes the grim
possibility of class warfare, saying:
Class Warfare.
Glass war means that the will of
the majority cannot be expressed
through existing institutions and
knocks the bottom out of the idea of
a parliamentary labor party. If par
lament cannot effect reforms, why
send men to it?
1T has bettered Industrial conditions
and by diffusing good education has
bcttered workmen's chances. Labor
has been progressively paid not only
in wages but in communal services.
This years estimate of such expenses
shows 25O, pounds for educa-
ton, health, sick benefits and unem-
ployment. We need cooperation not
class war, arbitration not anarchy"
But this seems not to have made
much impression.
An interesting detail Of the situa-
ton is that unemployment, really has
very much decreased-has been de-
creasing automatically while all this
has progressed. Many unemployed
are jobless quite by choice and agl-
tate for the sake of upsetting the es-
tablished order rather than for get
ting jobs.
But the agitation grows apace. This,
to many minds, is evidence of the
expenditure among the workers OF
much foreign communistic propaganda
money.

A Perfect Cross.

On the floor of the richly-furnished
library of the Dale home, near west
window, Miss Elizabeth Littleford sat
reading 10y the fast fading light of an
early March afternoon. Somehow she
liked TO sit on the floor, and always she
liked TO read; for one thing, books
helped aer TO forget that she was

Th.Sc were footsteps behind her,

I.ittleCord had just gone with 8
handful of kindling wood toward
the kitchen, when there was n low
light tapping at the outside door OF
Bill Dale's room. Dale arose from
his Slclpskinlined rocker before the
CHEEKY log fire, went to the door anf
opened It. Before him stood q slim,
barefoot boy in the poorest Of rags;
in the pitifully slender arms there was
something wrapped rather loosely in
crumpled brown paper. Dale did not
remember having seen the lad before,
but he knew il was no LittefOrd.
"COme in, son." he invited cordial
ly-"come in and warm yourself. My
goodness alive, it's too Geld TO 20

"ShOes?" muttered the boy, queerly.
"ShoeS?"
He was shivering from the cold. His
thin face looked pinched and blue, his
eyes big ard hollow. Dale stopped,
picked him up bodily, carried him to
the Old rocker he had just vacated,
and put him into it with hands as gen
tie as any woman's.

COST OF IDLENESS
Country Has Lost Six Billions During
Past Year.


Washington, Oct. 4.-Losses in earn
ings of workers throughout the country
during the last fiscal year due to in
voluntary idleness were out at more
than $6,50O,OOO,0O0 in an estimate pre-
pared today by economic experts of
the national conference on unemploy
ment.
This estimate, it was explained COW
cred the loss in wages because Of un-
employment Of all the jobless in the
country from July, 1920 to August Is,
1921, and was based on an approxima-
ton Of normal pay levels rather than
on the scales at the peak Of high
wages. Efforts of the conference, it
was said, would be turned toward a
remedy for the economic loss to the
country from such reductions of the
earning power Of it's workers in the fu-
ture by a more stabilized industrial
plan.
Preparations of the conference rec
concentrations for a permanent policy
to combat unemployment and revive
business and commerce probably
would be required at least two weeks
work, officials declared. Some of the
sub committees might complete their
reports before the conference recon-
venes Monday, it was said, but it was
expected that new committees would
be formed for the investigation of va
rious economic problems involved in
the situation and that at least another
week would be consumed in the draft
ing of the final conference recommen-
dations.
In addition further consideration of
the emergency program may be taken
up by the conference and supplemental
emergency measures suggested.
President Harding, in statement
made public late yesterday, called upon
governors throughout the country to
organize in their communities ma
chinery for the correction Of economic
conditions along the lines already de-
veloped by the conference. He an
nounced that a central agency would
be maintained here under the auspices
Of the conference to give national CO.
ordination to the work.

that stirred him. BY Intuition, supple
mented by Bill Dale's occasional cryp-
tic utterances, and pieced out by nil
tradition, Elizabeth Littleford gradu-
ally had come into possession OF the
old coal mans grim secret.
Neither of them knew that John
MOreand was then visiting his beloved
old hills for the sake of some shooting.
The following day John X. Dale and
Elizabeth Littleford alighted from a
northbound passenger train at the
Halfway switch. The mountains were
covered with three inches Of snow, and
the hemlock and pines bore heavy bur-
dens of the beautiful white stuff; but
the air was still, and it wasn't very
cold.
you'd get your clothing Nall black
on the coal train," Dale said to his
companion, $50 you'd rather walk over,
wouldn't you? Anyway, the train isn't
here. I'm good for six miles. think" :"
"Yes," smiled Ben Littleford's
daughter, "Td rather waikiki you're
sure that six miles won't be too much
for you"
Together, with the girl leading the
way, they set out across David More
lands mountain. The old trail showed
not one footprint ahead of them; 1t
was not so much used now. They said
little. Each thought their own thoughts,
and neither cared to speak then TO
the other.
Just before they reached the moun-
tain's crest. they passed a group OF
snow-laden pines that concealed big,
brown-bearded man who had been
stealthily following the trail of n lone
wild turkey. He wore khaki hunting
clothes and high laced boots, and there
was a certain English fineness about
him. In his bare hands he carried
repeating rifle, which marked him MS
one born in the hills; l0wlan'er
would have had a choke-bored shotgun.
When he saw John K. Dale he
stopped suddenly. 1t might have been
int lition, or it might have been sheer
curiosity, the average hlllman being a
stranger to neither-he followed and
watched the two, unseen by them.
On the pine-fringed crest. Elzahe
Llttleford halted to view that which
lay arouni and below him. Old Dale
stcppIG close at her side, and he. .oo
looked at that which lay a-oTud and
below them; and to his mind also there
came memories crowding.
The young woman brushed back
wayward wisp of brown hair and
turned to the man beside her.
1.-The Moreland part o the. settle
ment looks lonesome, don't it?' she
said. "See, there's no smoke comm
from their cabin chimneys. :" She
went on absently, "But the Llttlefords
are there yet" .
Old Dale caught the meaning that
was in the latter sentence. 1t was not
shallow meaning.
I'VE are going to take care of the
Littlefords, Elizabeth" he assured her.
1--WE thought much over 1t, and just
now I've decided. When decide, it's
for all time you know that, done
