Western developers have noted that has been of any important advantage to them was the Pittman silver repur- chase law, and it is now contended by some that this law would not have been passed had not England been so hard pressed for silver for India that nothing was allowed to stand in the way of its prompt passage.
 Are the English better business men than our statesmen? That govern ment is doing everything possible to influence the production of gold while our bankers and lawmakers don't seem to care whether or not the mines of the United States continue to op- crate. We learn that the Rand mines, one of England's big south African gold properties, earned 100 per cent on it's capital stock in 1919 and that it's 1920 earnings are estimated at 145 per cent. How are these great earn ings possible in the face of the deplor- able conditions in the gold mining dis tricts of the United States? Grass is growing in the streets of the mining camps of the Rocky mountain country while England's mines are enjoying immense dividends.

An Unusual Experience

By CHAS. K. HARRIS Author of "After the Ball".

told of the girls reception at her home. Her immediate unemployment as cashier in the General Store, and that she would send one dollar week. ly, so as to pay back the ten she had borrowed in order to get home to her work, her contentment and mother, and from this simple human story Mr. Harris has written his latest ballad entitled "I'M GOING HOME," which was inspired by the sight of young girl, hungry for the love of her moth CT, and honest enough to admit defeat in her one-sided struggle.
 "I'M GOING HOME" has it's appeal and the appeal is in the heart, where the young girl first felt the twinge of loneliness and insecurity, and rem edied it by being brave enough to face the truth.
 I'M GOING HOME My heart is weary, Mother dear, I've tried to hide it's pain. But 'tis no use, I'm longing still, To see you all again. The big, cold city is so hard For one wee girl alone, And no one cares just how you live, That's why Pm going home.
 CHORUS Pm going home, no more to roam. I'm going back where the flowers
 bloom, To sweetest charms, my mothers
 arms.
 And where the birds sing their sweet
 tunes.
 No more I'll stray the Great White
 Way,
 Where eyes are bold and where hearts
 are cold, I want to feel, one kiss that's real, Pm going home, Pm going home.
 2. I've wandered OCT the city streets, All tired and forlorn. And many times I've often pray'd Int I had ne'er been born. Sweet mem'ries steal o'er' me tonight, I See the shady lane, My heart is set, my eyes are wet, Pm going home again.

DRY FARMING AS PRAC-
 TICED BY THE HOPES

The following account of the dry farming methods practiced by the Hopi Indians is given by Professor S. P. Clark, Extension Agronomist, University of Arizona College of Ag- riculture:
 The Hopi Indians, living where the rainfall is very limited in the best of years, using the most primitive tools for working the grounds-nothing more than a sharpened stick for plant ing-farming where the soil is ex- tremely sandy in texture, and subject to the action of the winds that pre- vail in all dry countries, and still maintaining their civilization for hun dreds of years without help from the white man-in fact preferring to be left lone-make a very interesting study.
 . These Indians, after warning with the Navajos for many years, were fin ally driven as a. last resort onto some high mesa withNa precipitous wall. Here, during the past 500 years, they have built their homes and maintained their existence. They farm the more favored localities along the washes where there is a chance for flood water, and the sandy slopes, hoping to harvest the crop before the Navajo foraging party will harvest it for them.
 They plant the corn in hills eight feet apart, dropping fifteen or twenty grains in the hill. The only tools us- ed are sharp flattened stick to gouge out a cone shaped hole in which the corn is planted eight to twelve inches deep, and large hoe for cultivation.
 The large number of plants in hill enable them to force their way to the sunlight. Frequently when the corn, melons or beans are planted on sandy soil, it is necessary to place brush wind-brakes every thirty feet to pre- vent the crop from being ruined.
 The Indian lets| his crop mature thoroughly in the field before harvest ing for feed, food, or seed purposes. Much green corn is preserved as rost- ing ears for winter use. These are cooked in pits in the ground which have been we'll heated with fire, the fire removed and the ears, with husks on them are then covered completely

"I am going home," she said, with a clear and determined look in her eye. She followed up the statement with the further information that she was seeking employment in order to facilitate her trip.
 "You see, MT. Harris, like others of my kind, come from small town in Wisconsin, where those who had admired my work in amateur theatri- calls, had insisted that the big city was waiting for me and my talents. I ar rived here about three weeks ago, and with but meager funds. Have had the battle every self-respecting young girl has to endure when she tries to catapult herself into the big affairs of this mans town. l have been re- fused all kinds of employment wher- ever I have sought. My eyes have been opened as to the trials and trib- ulations necessary to win success in New York. l know deep down in my heart that lone as I am, am unequal to it, and am frank enough to say it is not a question of foolish pride, or questionable grit, but rather a long thought out, conclusion, which has brought me face to face with the fact that I belong home instead of endeavoring to put up with the strife Frankly, I am seeking employment as
 singer, pianist, or stenographer, in order to earn enough money to take me to my home town, where I have a loving mother and hosts of friends, who will believe me when I explain to them the conditions necessary to a career in New York. Thank you, sir, I do not care to accept the money without repaying you, and the only way that I can do this is in the form of a promise. I really did not believe there was one humn being in this big cold city, where eyes are bold and hearts are cold. I certainly will, and you will hear from me in week or so," and she softly closed the door with the ten dollar bill clutched se- curely in her right hand.
 A few weeks passed, and Chas.. K. Harris received letter. The letter

with leaves and mud, making a very efficient fireless cooker. After a time the corn is taken out and the husks removed save few which are braided with those on other ears and all thus hung up to- dry. The dried product is afterwrds stored in neat piles or left hanging from the ceiling until wanted for food.
 When the mature corn iS harvest ed, the stalk is bent to the ground, the ears snapped and thrown in piles. These are then carried to the house where they become the property of the women and are husked by them, some of the inner leaves being kept for household use. After the ears are removed the stalks are cut with a large hoe, tied in bundles and piled for feed.
 The ear corn is stored in the house in neat, cord-like piles, the blue, white or yellow corn being piled separately. A two-year supply is kept on hand to provide against crop failure.
 The Hopi considers the blue corn superior to any other for the making of bread. This is ground very fine by the native method, the metate and mano or two stones rubbed together by hand. It is mixed with water that has been poured through ashes of certain weed. The batter is made very thin and is poured on a flat bak- ing stone and spread with the hand. The baking stone has a fairly smooth surface and is approximately eighteen inches by two feet in size. This stone is kept hot by being placed over the fire. When the first cake is cooked it is removed and another portion poured on. Before this is quite fin ished, the first is laid on top and steamed and then rolled up as we would roll piece of paper. The bread is blue in color, thin as paper and brittle when cold. The grit from the ashes and stone make it rather impalatable to white man, but the flour is very agreeable.
 The white corn is never used for bread, but is used for corn meal and hominy. The Hopi is home lover and works the same fields for years. During years of plenty, they sell quantities of corn to the Navajos, who feed it to their cattle, horses and sheep, or it is sold in the general market.
