This is the last of series of
remarkable articles relating the
adventures of Chief Kenlon dur
ing his fourteen years as a sailor.
Last week he told how, when ma.
rooned on a desert island, one of
the .Crozet group in The Indian
ocean, he had conceived the idea
OF making q concrete boat and
how he and the shipwrecked crew
had built and successfully launch
ed the first reinforced concrete
vessel that was ever fioated. This
was years before the application
of this principle commercially or
in the world war. After weeks of
effort since the idea took form,
which they. suspended only for
three days of prayer and religious
observance at Christmas time, all
was made ready for the vital
hazard of a dash into the open sea
in their concrete boat. Their first
objective was Possession Island,
another of the Crozet group, thirty
miles away, where cache of
stores for shipwrecked crews was
maintained by the British navy.

mer doesn't take it anyway, and he
resents our attitude, so it does no
good. We are dealing here in the
Palouse country with one of the most
intelligent classes Of farmers in the
country. They know their business

The farmer is seeing his way out OF
his difficulties and is making head

splendidly."
Farmer Needs No Advice
We are making a mistake when
we say we are helping the farmer,
according to Professor Sievers, who
pointed to many attempts to help
the farmer" through legislation and
by other means. All this, he con-
tends, may help the consumer, but
it is helping the farmer only to The
extent that he is a consumer, and
pointed out hat it is impossible to
legislate in favor of any n class.
"Nobedy in this country knows
more about farming than the farmer
himself said Professor Sievers, " n
they are doing it just about right"
He admitted that farmers make mis-
takes, but said they are mostly eco
nomic mistakes and not agricultural
plumbers.

eral demand of the public for diver.
~sification, Professor Sievers called
attention to the fact hat the Palouse
is not a corn country. Take corn

COUNTY ROADS TO BE POLICED
Bill Provides for Additional COnstables
To Enforce the Traffic Laws

Provision for the ample protection
of the improved highways in New
Castle county from the destructive
traffic of overloaded trucks is made
in bill passed by the House Thurs
day afternoon, and which act has been
introduced by Representative Collins
who called it up for final action. On
his motion Frank L. Speakman, at
toney for the Levy Court of New
Castle county explained just what the
act provides for. He stated that it
empowers the Levy Court to deputize
as county cOnstables such persons as
are in the employ of the court, es-
pecially the road supervisors and the
employees in the county engineers
force whose duties it shall be to en-
force the law pertaining to the use of
the county highways by heavy trucks
and such vehicles carrying loads in
excess of the maximum allowed for
traffic over these roads. 1t means no
additional expense on the county or
state for such extra constables would
serve as such for the same pay as
they receive for their regular position
and they would get nothing extra for
acting as cOnstables. Mr.. Speakman
said these special officers would have
authority, when they found a truck
which they believed was in excess of
the maximum weight allowed, to order
it to the nearest scales to be weighed.
The Levy Court can easily arrange
with the owners of such scales to
have their trucks weighed without
cost. When the law was violated the
owners or drivers of these truck would
be arrested. Under the present law
the supervisors cannot order a truck
to any scales to be weighed and they
therefore cannot determine it's weight
except by guess work. There has been
much trOubl caused by drivers break.
ing down barriers placed to block
roads newly improved, he stated, anC
this is another source of difficulty
these officers will eliminate. He tolC
the members it would be a great hell
to the county to have these specia
officers clothed with the authority the
bill would give them. There was M
opposition to the bill and after the
House had passed it it was sent t
the Senate for concurrence.

Newest of Rex Beach's photodramas

based on the celebrated authors novel

Barclay deserts her and when the

the logical outcome. But she is not
happy in spite of the devotion of her
husband. He offers her little besides
a roof over her head, and the squalOr
of her surroundings and her loneliness
makes Alice easy prey for Barclay
when he returns. This brings about
one of the finest climaxes ever reached
