passed the same driver several times
and had noticed he was reading Once

and now his interest was spurred to
the questioning point by observing the
driver was delving into Aristotle.

HAS ICE AT ALL SEASONS
Montana Indian, Digging Well, seem.
lngly Came Upon Most Remark
able Freak of Nature.

More than eight years ago John
spotted Wolf, an Indian of the Chey-
enne reservation in eastern Montana,
decided that he should like to have a
well near his log cabin. So he and his
Wife Mary chose spot near a large
pine tree, perhaps 20 rods from the
door, and then John began to dig.
BY noon of the second day he had
dug down ten feet. Although the
weather was mild, he had complained
Of being cold while at work. After
eating he put on an extra coat and
went to work again. He Kept Mary
and her brother Rolling Bull busy
hauling up and carrying away the dirt
that he loosened. But in, spite Of
Johns extra clothing he still was cold.
On the third morning he added more
clothing; but when night came and the
well had reached the depth Of Is feet
he was almost frozen
The next morning he again descend
ed the well and worked as rapidly az
his many layers Of clothing would per-
NIT. After while water began to
appear. Suddenly he shouted: "Pull
me upl Pull me upl'
John had barely reached the surface
before the well filled to within foot
Of the top and then began to freeze
around the edges. In short time
only small opening perhaps foot
In diameter remained.
The well remains the same way year
after year, the Youths Companion
states. During the day in summer the
sun melts the ice around the top, but
at night it freezes again. The well,
which furnishes permanent ice sup
ply for the people In the neighborhood,
is strange freak Of nature Of which
there are so many In the western part
Of the state. Tourists who visit the
reservation regard 1t as great curl
Osity.

In Your Garden.

1t is truly wonderful how many
birds will visit modest gardens dur
ing a year. They will, during the
spring migration, be most in evidence
from early daylight till breakfast
time, and then again as evening
comes on, says the American Forestry
Magazine When autumn approaches,
the migration that takes place is
equally interesting. In winter we may
look for various finches, sparrOws,
crossbills, hawks, owls, and not few
other species that come to US during
that time of the year.

NJ T.. Cassidy. prohibition director
for Arizona. has been in town for the
last couple OF days having official
business with County Attorney John
F. Ross and Sheriff Joe Hood.
While here Mr.. Cassidy stated that
there was every effort being made to
more rigidly enforce the 18th amend
ment: that the officers and courts
realize the necessity of its enforce,
ment just as rigid.y as any other laws
and that IL the 18th amendment was
winked at then the other laws would
be weakened.
He further stated that no bootleg
ger need pay any official for protec-
ton because he was only wasting his
money; that there is no protection
for a bootlegger and that he had bet
ter save his money to pay his fine or
to keep his family after he goes to
prison. He also added that drinking
in public places. for instance on a din
ing car was very bad form and would
get he party so violating the law in
trouble. More men are being put on
in Arizona to enforce the law, he says,
and he made it very plain that he
fourth and fifth amendments were as
vital as the 18th amendment and that
his department would search no pri-
vate home unless he had positive in
formation that private residence
was the store house OF liquor that
was being sold and then the law
would be enforced to the letter.
The federal prohibition department
is now compiling statistics showing
the activities of all Law enforcing
agencies in the state in enforcing the

prohibition acts so that citizens OF
this state may be correctly informed
as TO the activities of their duly elect
