HECTIC WEATHER

Weather: A permanent topic of conversation for persons who have no interest in it but inherit the tendency to chatter of it from their naked ar boreal ancestors whom it keenly con- cerned.
 This is Ambrose Bferce's definition of weather. Keen. isn't it? Like all he wrote.
 Since the vogue of calling anything that slips out of the mouth that has ever been said before, a. "bromide," it has become a capital offense for anyone to say, Is it hot enough for you? l am going to make a plea that during hot weather we suspend all rules of the antis including the anti-bromidists and let us ask to our hearts content, Is it hot enough for you?
 For when it is hot enough to call out that remark, then as little mental exercise possible is desirable.
 There are some who are SO anti-B that they even think it is bromidic to talk about the weather. Now while I think that Ambrose Bierce was one of the cleverest writers who ever liv- ed, still I do not agree with him that we talk of the weather because of an atavistic tendency.
 The weather is a strictly impersona1 subject and we can talk about it to anyone, for there is no one but has a modicum of knowledge about it, and 1t is always with us. And there are many people with whom we have nothing else in common and with whom we want to pass word as token of kindly feeling to them and to the world, so why not use the weather as a topic?
 Hot, isn't it?' said with a smile, may make a happy difference in the mental horizon of some of these in- dividua1s, especially if they are not sensitized to the bromidic ban.
 We'll, Is it hot enough for us? It is too blame hot. What are we going to do about it?
 First, we are going to dness as light Iy as the law will allow. We are go- ing to eat lightly of meats, breads, pastries, sugars-a1 heating foods especially are we going to eat lightly of meat.
 Meat furnishes the repair and the growth needs of the body, but any excess over that is used as an energy food. Besides this, meat or protein has an action that other foods do not. It has a direct body-heat stimulating action. This is known as the specific dynamic action of protein. When a person is exposed to cold, a fairly

CHAPTER VIII
Setting Traps


 Jay Corwin had but a slight founda- ton upon which to base his surmise that Billy Redmond suspected him of being the author of the note from Gaylord Fane. A guilty conscience contributed largely to the conviction that had grown upon him. For the facts were meager.
 Gail had told him that Redmond had seen the note and must have mis- laid it. But the disappearance of a paper bearing his signature. coinci- dent with Redmond's visit to the stage office, satisfied Corwin that Redmond know where the note to Gail could be found.
 Corwip had committed the murder deliberately, and with cold premedi- tation- He thought he had thorough ly covered all traces of the crime; and he had assured himself that he had cleverly initiated Gaylord Fane's pecu- liar handwriting. That Redmond had immediately detected the forgery con- vinced him that he had failed.
 But while Redmond might suspect he had no real proof. for the nnurder had been committed in broad day light. when there was not a soul with in sight of the CircvIe Dot ranch house.

Certified Wheat Grown.


Cmatilla county has the distinction
of having the only certified Red
Chaff wheat in the Northwest. This
has been the most popular variety in
the vicinity of Weston but owing to
the fact that it has run down some
what and badly mixed with other va
rleties, wheat growers have become
somewhat dissatisfied. Two years
ago an attempt was made by Fred
Bennion. county agent, to secure some
clean Red Chaff from Union county,
Through some carelessness in handl-
ing the wheat before shipment, it be-
came mixed so that the seed which
was supposed to be clean was as bad
iy mixed as that locally grown. On
the other hand the heads in the
Union county Red Chaff, were larger
than the locally grown stuff. The
county agent spent a week in the
fields of Art Coppock of Athena, Sim

high yielding stools. These heads
were threshed separately and planted
in small tract. This gave a suffi-
clent amount of seed to plant between
40 and so acres last fall. The wheat
in the certified fields this year WELD
ed somewhat higher than the uncer
tlfled wheat in an adjoining field,
which had been planted under the
same conditions on the same day. 1t
is understood that all of this certified
seed will be planted this fall.
