two-weeks campaign was a strenuous
but fruitful one, according to Mr.

were held each day. Dairy cattle
demonstrations were made at all the
stops during the day. and in the even.

many thousands Of acres of irrigated
land are extremely fertile and will
grow everything the dairy COW needs.
The climate is temperate; never get.

grain crops that can be grown To tbe
best advantage are oats and barley
For hay alfalfa grows in abundance
and for succulent feed they have lrri.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT
FALL PL0UGHING
CBy CALVIN KEZER, Chief Agro-
nomist, Colorado Agricultural
College,

A troublesome question this fall
ploughlng, but mainly because of the
danger in trying to apply any general
rule without taking into account spec
ial conditions.
Fail plowing is n subject Of perenni-
al interest TO plow or not to pillow
in the fall is the problem which
faces practically every farmer. The
great difficulty in making the decis
ion arises from the fact that farmers
in practice havo found that In one
season fall plowing gave the highest
yields while in the next season spring
plowinP gave the highest yields
What is the poor man to do? How
is he going to tell in advance whether
It will be to his advantage to plow
in the fall or in the spring? Since

MINE LEADER APPEALS
Holds Law Results in Involuntary
Servitude.

The constitutionality Of the Kansas
Industrial relations court act was
argued orally in the Supreme Court
yesterday in a case brought by August
Dorchy.
Dorchy. who Joined with Alexander
Howatt, president OF the mine union
local. In signing an order calling q
strike, was convicted in the Kansas
courts on indictments charging viola.
ton OF the court act. which required
that disputes in essential industries
should be submitted to the industrial
relations court.
The constitutionality was attack ed
broadly on the ground that II clothed
coal mining with a public interest and
brought 1t within the category Of es.
sential industries over which the indus.
trial court should have Jurisdiction. In
addition to asserting that there was no
'4'td reason for listing coal mining a.
public interest, counsel for Dorchy
contended that any attempt to punish
'nt' issuance of the strike order was in
mnolation OF the federal Constitution
Inc effect OF the act was to compel in.
Counsel for Kansas insisted that Il
was highly essential that the produc-
ton of coal should not be suspended BY
strikes, and that the state legislature
properly defined the industry as one 20

I could only put my arms about her and let her feel my phys 1 ical nearness and sympathy. My | eyes were wet with tears that were running down my cheeks and drop ping unchecked. My sobs would not be silenced; but mother stood there ! her hands Imply at her sides, tear less. Her face as if carved marble in her eyes all the terror of what she was seeing in the days to come when she would be alone.
 She frightened me. l do not know what would have happened if John had not come to the door and said dad wanted to see SIS.

 But, instead Of getting them. Mir, Sanky gave him a thump upon his head with long stick and drive him out of the house.

 'Goodby," Kent said, looking al this own watch. and starting off to- ward tho house.
 Meddlcsome Hattie had been looking out her window at the two strolling across the lawn, but there was no more to 1t than idle curiosity. ! It was her habit to watch every thing and everybody, in hope of learning something she was not meant to know.s
 From her own room, with the windows all open. she had heard her brother leave the terrace and go into the sun parlor--that was doubt less to avoid the dampness.
 She had heard Malcolm Finley, at the same time, leave tho terrace and so into the house, walking through the rear hall, and out on the east veranda. She had listened intently but didn't hear Nan follow him-a distinct disappointment to Miss Mat tic.
 Mfr. Goddard. she knew, was in his own room. And Eva Turner was busting about, now in her bedroom, 1 then on the. stairs then to the kitchen and back again-of course, intent upon her dietary duties.

 Now, when the little fat sailor found out that the Sanky were mean selfish people, he ran right over to where Walters daddy and the Wizard were tied and set them free. Then he did the same to Rag gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. l am sorry that I mistreated you," the little fat sailor said. But did not know that the Sankye told so many fbs."
 We will forgive you." Raggedy Ann told the fat sailor. For we are certain that the mean creatures fooled you"
 Thank you." the little tat sailor replied. But now that the Sankys have the house, why don't you all come with me to my boat? I hayc a lovely boat and we can have lots of fun sailing around in it."
 That would be lots Of fun If we only had Walter and his mama with us." Raggedy' Ann said. But you see, we shall have to get them out Of the house some way"
 That is quite true!" the little fat sailor said: Isn't there some way We can fool the Sankys and rescue Wal ter and his mama"
 That is what we shall try to do." Raggedy Ann replied. Maybe we can watch and when they open the doors, we can rush in arH chase Mr. and Mrs. Sanky out!"
 That is what we must do," the Wizard said. For they will have to come outside to get water to drink"
 oh! But you forget. There is the soda water fountain in the dining room and they can drink sodas," Raggedy Andy told the Wizard
 'I forgot that" the Wizard said. "I tell you what you can do, Mir Wizard" Raggedy Ann laughed Get your magic charms and make the little house disappear" So the Wizard got his magic charms and in two moments he made the house disappear and there sat Mir. and Mrs Sanky and Walter and his mama right upon the ground where the house had stood before.

She can cook and sew i and mend but she does not do them easily, nor with any especial skill. But even though I knew of Marion's needlework, unusual for child l looked dubiously at her with the re- luctance of any expert needlewoman flor without conceit may call my self that--to share her work with anyone.
 '1'Il tell you what. Auntie Madge," Marion saih with the curious prescience Of childhood. You just let me try some button or bit of mcnding which isn't import ant, then if l don't do it right you don't need to let me help any more" i Ashamed of my doubt, put my arms around LilIians winsome daughter and hugged her tightly.
 "There isn't anything here so i'm portant you cant work on it, I am sure" l said, Tn this pile are the things that need buttons. and hye is the button boX,"
 "Oh, Goodyi" she exclaimed as | pleased as if I had provided her with the most fascinating game in the world.
 'I want to sew on buttons, too, |" 1 Junior exclaimed, his desire to be an engineer palpably fading before this rev joy.
 50 you shall, sweetheart" Marion exclaimed. "Ill give you piece of cloth and some buttons, and a needle and thread. Just wait until get my workbasket."
 ! She whisked out of the room. coming back in a few minutes, with a fascinating little sewing-apron tied around her waist, and all the imple- ments of needlework in a charming sewing basket which I recognized as one of her last years Christmas presents. From it she dshed out 8 stout piece of muslin. with several 1 buttons fastened to it with immense sprawling stitches.
 Junior did these all himself" she said with pride, and then she |, threaded a needle for my small son, and provided him with buttons enought to keep him busy the rest of the afternoon.
 l expected Junior to tire of his task. but he kept at 1t as steadily as did Marion at her chosen work. To my astonishment, I found that the little girl could turn out the simpler bits of mendipg as fast and as neat | Lly as I could, and dusk found us all 1 busiIy working.
 Better switch on the'light, dear, !" | I said to her. and as she obeyed, for the switch was nearest her chair, I was startled to hear her utter a little scream.
 There was-a face-looking in at the window!" she gasped,
