Big Help to Farmers.
1.-The cost of the dam and reser-

Snake River Valley and that cost has
been materially reduced through ]
successful negotiations with corpora

ment value. In other words, through
payment or exchange of property the
property owner would be made rea-

Steel Hard as Adamant.

CHOPPING cold crowbar into
chunks with an ak and whiting
a steel rod into shavings with a
pocketknife are made simple per-
formances through a process of steel
tempering that is credited to two in
vestigators in the state of Washing
ton. In fact, a steel ak and pocket
knives that had been tempered by
the process are alleged to have actu-
ally been made to perform these
seemingly impossible feats
Damas SOUS steel would be of vastly
inferior quality to this tempered
metal, according to the claims put
forth on behalf of it. The process
consists in the use Of certain chem
icals in water or oil in the tempering
vessel. 1t is declared that any kind
of tool--from a blunt hammer head
to keen-edged razor-can be tenn
pered to perfection never before
attained. Drills tempered by this
process are said to have stood the
test of use for forty days without
sharpening in driving the tunnel on
the Wasco mine through the hardest
kind of rock.

sweet potato. And for the epicure who

Lao than any other government
craft that cruises the sky.
The official name of the ZR-1 in
naval aviation circles will be fleet
airship No. i, her function being that
of long distance scouting in connec-
ton with our national feet maneu-
vers in both the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans and the seven seas wherever
the American battleships may chance
to go.
The ship was built at the naval
aircraft factory in Philadelphia. the
parts being shipped to the naval air
station at Lakehurst, where they were
assembled
The ZR-1 was to have been the
third member Of a trio of ZR ships,
but, unfortunately, the terrible catas-
trophe that befell the ZR-2 eliminated
this great aerial cruiser from the
trinity. However, the ZR-3. which is
now nearing completion in Germany
1t is one of the reparations with
which Germany is repaying Uncle
Sam for the settlement of war claims
will be delivered at Lakehurst by a
year, and subsequently will be housed
at that station as a complement ship
to the ZR-1. The ZR-3 will be larger
than the ZR-1, having a total gas
capacity of 100000 cubic feet. The
ZR-2. of course, was the largest ship
of the trio. with a gas capacity of
100000 cubic feet.

THE frame of the ZR-1 is made of
i duralumin, an alloy material de-
veloped by the aeronautical in
dustry, which is strong as steel, al
though only one-third as heavy. This
frame is covered with cotton fabric
which has been weatherproofed and
rendered resistant to the heating ef-
fects of sunlight by painting il with
material known as aluminium
dope" If all the fabric used in the
ZR-1 could be incorporated into one

terminate in observation platforms.
Altogether there are twenty gas
cells, each one of which is a sepa-
rate unit, SO arranged as to corre-
spond to one of the waterproof. air
tight compartments ordinarily found
OF. shipboard. These gas cells are
made of goldbeater's skins, obtained
from the intestines of cattle. APP
proximately 650,000 cattle supplied
the skin used in making the series
of gas cells for the ZR-1. Suspended
directly below the airship are the six
power cars and control car. The con-
troll car Is the nerve center of the
ship. where are assembled all the op-
Grating, steering. shifting and alti-
tudinal appliances that govern the
manipulation OF the remarkable craft.
Complete telephone and yoice-tube
systems extend to all parts of the
ship from the control car, where the
radio equipment is also located in a
soundproof compartment.
In the bow of the ZR-1 Is a special
mooring device by means of which
the mammoth cloud cruiser can be
securely anchored to a temporary
mooring when away from the hangar.
The ZR-1 is so large that she can
not be accommodated in any except
unusually large hangers.
The interior of the ship is illu-
minated by means of detached light
units energized by special batteries.
Water ballast bags that carry from
500 to 1000 pounds OF water are a
part of the EXTRAORDINARY equipment.
When the ship is dropping too rap
idly during a descent, her speed can
be checked measurably by dumping
overheard the water ballast. Woe
betide any one who chances to be the
innocent target for one OF these
unique shower baths, for the water
water pours down in a veritable
cloudburst and swamps the unfortu-
nate person who stands in its path.

JAPANESE and Chinese persim-
y mons OF large size and delicate
flesh are another kind of fresh fruit
gradually coming to a market Of their
own. They are very different from the
persimmon Of the south on which the
'possum fattens. Our persimmon Is a
wild fruit. but these have been cultf-
waited so long in the orient that their
growing represents an industry equal
to our orange or apple growing in i'm
portance. This kind has no pucker.
and can be eaten when as hard as an
apple.
A veritable Klondike OF new vege-
tables and fruits Is being added to
our bill of fare, and 1t but remains for
the pioneer growers and housewives
to make these unusual foods as much
used as the everyday varieties. The
potato, long established in favor with
the people of many nationalities, trav-
eled a thorny path to it's present posi-
tion of distinction. The opposition to
1t in France at one time was so severe
that the government was petitioned
to suppress its cultivation. Twenty
odd years ago. when people tried the
mysterious citrus dtlicacy. the grape
fruit, it was as a rule with most dis
appointing results. as they tried to
eat 1t like an orange. Nowadays every
city in the country eats grapefruit by
the carloads. and they are procurable
in almost every hamlet--in fact. the
production OF grapefruit is increasing
more rapidly than that of oranges. 1t

quired the drilling of ten holes
in plate a thirty-second of an inch
thick, each hold to be accurate to a
thousandth of an inch, yet no bigger

lem stopped the manufacture of the
machine on commercial basis until
the inventor of the calculator could
invent a means of solving it. The re.
suit was most ingenious machine
that stands about twelve inches hteh.
The drill which was built carries
ten spindles, each holding a drill OF
number six Morse gauge. which is
about the size of the pin of ordinary
use. Each little slivver of steel that
does the work is driven by a belt
operating through cam head and
therefore works at the same speed
as that of its neighbors. The actual
drilling requires ten seconds. /.

latitude will be studied Technical
and scientific observations of all
kinds and descriptions will be made
to the lasting benefit of mankind.
Such a fight has the hearty indorse-
ment of such polar explorers as
Stefansson and Baldwin. Preliminary
activities in selecting the best route
are now under way.
Uncle Sans masters of nautical
science have made the complete CO.
operation and assistance of the ma
tional advisory committee on aero
nautics-one of the leading organiza-
tions of aviation experts in the world
and the aid of other pre-eminent
aeronautical authorities in solving
construction of the ZR-I. Before this
particular craft shoves off on her
maiden flight she will have been sub
jected to the most complete and ex-
haustive series of try-out tests ap-
piled to any airship.
'nSE of her outstanding safety fea-
~ lures which will effect much in
protecting the lives and limbs of her
crew against untoward accidents is
the substitution of helium gas for
hydrogen gas in the huge new cloud
carriage. Helium Is BILE
and is not readily explosive like
hydrogen. II is well adapted for air
ship utilization and now can be pro-
duced at prices which make IL more
desirable than hydrogen for activities
of this character. All the helium in
the world exists in the United States
and Uncle Sam proposes to conserve
this as one of his most important
natural resources.
The ZR-1 Is $50 feet long, while the
hull of the ship is seventy-nine feet in
diameter. She has a gross lifting ca
pacity of sixty tons and her total gas
capacity is 2,115.o00 cubic feet. The
ship derives her propulsion power
from six large airship engines, each
of which Is 800 horsepower. The

The most valuable feature of this
vegetable is that 1t has none of the
o Objectionable odor when cooking,
which Is such q drawback to ordinary
cabbage, and it may be served in
two forms at the same meal, both
having a different taste. as a vege-
table and as a salad, for 1t is used
as a. substitute for lettuce. In fact.
its flavor is so delicate many people
prefer it.
THE avocado, or alligator pear, is
not only most delicate in flavor.
but very nourishing. and it is the
prediction of experts that 1t will soon
form a staple food product in the
American home. A single fruit
weighing a little more than a pound
will make a meal for a man, as 1t
contains from fifteen to twenty per
cent of oil besides other valuable
food elements. 1t has a Arm. pulpy
flesh and a nut-like flavor which is
delicious and appetizing. There are
many varieties ranging through many
shades of green.
A great many people do not buy
the avocado because they do not know
! how TO use II. except. perhaps, as a
breakfast fruit. when it is eaten
much as one does a canteloupe. In
Florida 1t is served in many salad
combinations, as sandwich filling
when mashed and mixed with oil and
lemon, and as dessert used as a
shcrtcake filling just as we use straw
berries or peaches.
The mango is one of the most i'm
portant fruits OF the world. In India
1t lis so valuable that It Is held sacred
and accorded annual ceremonies and
celebrations. Uncle Sam has gath
cred together more than g. hundred
varieties of mango trees and the
fruit has attracted the attention of
dealers In New York and other large
cities Florida Is finding difficulty in
supplying the demand. This fruit Is
called the apple of the tropics. and
like the fruit It resembles, 1t has
many uses and can be eaten in as
many ways as the apple. Golden and
green in color, and in flavor a rival
Of the peach, 1t is destined to be-
come popular.
Another Florida product with fine
possibilities is the papaw. or papaya,
