afternoon at the Gayety for a
weeks engagement. Billed as
revue de luxe, this entertainment
is heralded as one of the newer

in two acts and eleven scenes, its
plot dealing with friVolities of
many kinds. The scenes will in
clude a realistic and spectacular
storm at sea. a college campus,
a Cuban landscape, the lawn Of
the Hollywood Country Club, the
interior of the clubhouse, a prison
yard and the interior of the
gilded cage of beauty. The re-

endgate. 1t costs money but gives
nothing in return.
!, In order to use the tractor conom
ically it may be necessary to invest
some considerable sum in farming
machinery and tools for use with the
tractor. 1t will hardly pay to u a
tractor over a field with machinery
that makes far too light a load for
the tractor, or machinery not adapted
for use with the tractor.
In this connection something must
be said of the size of the tractor. Of
course it will not be economical to
buy so small a tractor that it will
often be overloaded, and too, a trac-
tor must not be so large that it sell
dom works at anywhere near full
load. It is not practical to use g
powerful tractor made 70 ~rthreshing
and other heavy Jobs on work where
only a small percent of the power Is
needed.
1t is hardly necessary to say much
about the adaptation of the tractor
to farming operations. Tractors have
already been adapted to over a hun
dred different operations. The more
operations you can adapt the tractor
to on your farm, the greater the
chances for profit from the tractor

These figures are thought TO give
a good indication of the trend of milk
consumption ameng all the people of

variations in different sections that
may be attributed to various factors,
including climate and the kind of pop

is shown to be lowest in the south

makes the preservation Of milk mole

where there is a large proportion OF

The dividing line between the east
ern and western half OF the United
States, in point of rainfall, lies ap-l
proximately along the one ~hundredtA
meridian, where the annual average
is about 20 inches. In general, pre-
cipitation east of this meridian is
sufficient for successful farming by
ordinary methods, but to the west
for the requirements of crop growth,
ward it is insufficient over large areas
and irrigation, or special cultural
methods for conserving soil moist
ure is often employed.
East of the Mississippi valley the
amount of precipitation varies from
about 80 inches in the western upper
lake region to SIS or 60 inches along
the Gulf coast. In the Great Plains
states it varies from about 20 inches
in the eastern portions of the Dakotas
and 25 inches in central Kansas and
western Oklahoma to less than 10
inches in much of Montana and some
localities IN the weSt-central and
southwestern plains region. In the
Pacific coast states there are great
differences in precipitation, the av-
erage annual amounts ranging from
120 inches in some c~ountainous dis
tricts in western Washington to less
than five inches in the extreme south
eastern of California. These locali-
ties represent the extremes of moist
ure conditions found in the United
States.
There are a number of distinct
types of seasonal distribution Of pre-
~cipitation, the most important of
which are the Pacific plains, and the
eastern. The Pacific type is charac-
terized by a marked winter concen-
tration of precipitation and a summer
dryness. In the Great Plains region,
on the other hand, much the greater
. portion of the annual precipitation
is received during the crop-growine
season. The eastern type, broadly
!. speaking, includes the country from
r the Mississippi valley eastward, and
5 is characterized by a comparatively
uniform distribution of prec;uitatior
: throughout the year. However, rain,
f fall during the autumn months is usu
\ ally lighter than during any othel
season, particularly in most of tbs

During the winter the birds have
been quite heavily fed to force them
for production. Now that we are ap-
preaching warmer weather and the
birds do not need as much food for
fuel, we should watch for the birds
that are putting on fat.
Continue culling. The fat birds
that show no signs of laying are OF
no particular use. Either sell them
off or eat them.

According to census reports the
number OF honae owners in the United
States Is rapidly increasing as well as
the percentage of renters, and real
estate men. architects, home-buiIdcrs
n contractors are finding comfort in
predictions OF a great hAilding boom
this spring. According to figures
gathered by S. w. Strauss and Co.
New York, and held to be fairly
accurate, the staggering sum of
. NSZS,VU,OO0 was spent or made
available tor the construction of new
buildings in this country during 1922.
This IS almost a billion dollars more
than ever reported before in the history
of American building construction.
The indications are that the year 1923
will By far eclipse 1922.
IA unusual feature of the building
program last year was that instead of
the usual let up during October,
November and December, those months
found more buildings planned and in
actual construction than during many
OF the normally busy months in pre-
ceding years.

Finds More Home Owners
Some time ago a writer in the
Review of Reviews called attention to
the fact that the last census of the
United States showed that the number
of home renters increased more than
two per cent, from 1910 to 1920. He
pointed out. however. that the number
OF home owners had also increased.
In a survey of conditions IN fifty of
the ~sixty-eight leading cities of
America he found many more home
owners ia 1920 than in 1910.

HORSE OR TRACTOR
FOR SMALL FARMER

The question Of whether a tractor
Will pay is often given too little con-
sideration when buying one. Too oft
en- the question asked is, "Can / af-
ford a t~ractor?" and too often 1t is
answered in the affirmative without
any attempt 90 the part of the buyer
to ascertain if it will make money for
him or not. Often ne thinks he can
afford a tractor if the necessary pur-
chasing price is to his credit in the
bank. The only reason anyone
should have for buying a tractor is
that it will make him money. If it
will not make money he can not af-
ford to own it if ne has ten times the
purchase price to his credit in the
bank. If it will make him money he
can afford it if it is necessary to
use his credit to get it.
It is the purpose Of this article to
present some Of the things that must
be considered in determining whether
a tractor will pay on your farm Of
not. You alone must make the fina
decision as to whether it will pay o.
not for you only have all the neces
sary data for use in your computation
of probable gain or loss that ma.
result from purchasing q tractor.
There are three rather broad re
quirements that the tractor must fl

must reduce the amount of money In

as horses and stationary engines, an

ton of investment in power. Secon,
it must not necessitate any sudde

S. SOIL SURVEY Is
USED IN MANY WAYS

u S. soil surveys made by the bu-
reau of soils, Unoited States Depart
ment of Agriculture, are filling an
increasing variety of demands.
Prominent among these demands, in
addition to those coming from the CO.
opening up large tracts of %cut-over
velopment companies interested in
opening u plarge tracts Of cut-over
land to settlement, from the home
seeker or farmer looking for a new
location, from road engineers, land
banks, and large loan companies.
Cooperating with the Department
of Justice, representatives of the soil
survey furnished expert testimony III
a case involving the changing of state
boundaries during the past year. A
detailed map was made of the coils
of the Red River bottoms, in the vi
entity of the Burkburnett oil field
for the purpose of showing the pro
cess By which the bottoms were built
up, this fact having an important
bearing on the settlement of a boun-
Diary dispute between Texas and Okla
homa. The question as to whether
the land In controversy was formed
by accretion or by avulsion would
practically decide the issue, and con
s~equently extremely detailed sol

One of the unusual features in con-
nection with the homes planned for
1928, Is the demand for measures that
will safeguard both the property and
the lives of the occupants. Architects
report an extraordinary demand this
year among prospective home builders
tor tire resistant and storm resistant
materials. Particularly is the demand
very heavy for asphalt shingles and
roll roofngs, brick and tile. Municipal
building codes. which demand fire.

responsible for the increased demand
for the fire resistant asphalt Shingles.

and 5O-cent piece and a dime. He put
the tray at the guests elbow n
waited doubtfully. He watched the

after a painful pause, the 50-cent

Jenny Fletcher Dies
Of Acute appendicitis

Jenny Fletcher, 10-year-old daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Fletcher,
was brought in from Cherry Creek
Tuesday, where she was spending
the summer with relatives, seriously
i'll with what was supposed to be
biliousness. Being examined it was
determined by Drs. Owens and Green
hat she was in the final stage of
appendicitis and an operation was
performed at the General hospital.
For the first twenty-four hours hopes
were held out for her, but the appen-
dix had bursted and was beyond re-
pair. She passed away Friday night
between 8 and 10 o'clock.
She was to have entered the fifth
grade next fall in the Ely schools and
greatly beloved by school chill
dren and parents. The whole south
end of Ely is sad over her sudden
death.
Besides her griefstricken parents
she is survived by a sister, Mrs. Mark

and Bob. She was born at Portland.
The funeral will be held Tuesday
forenoon, the exact time to be an
