We came out to our block of land
with the expectation of camping until
we had our fall crop out On Sunday
following our arrival on Friday it be-
gan to rain and rained for five weeks.
The amount of rain falling during
this period was about "a inches. and
was the first rain since in December,
1924. Following the rain it cleared
off and we have been having ideal
weather ever since.
Thursday evening, October 20, it
turned cool and misty. This was part
of the Northern storm which was
moving Southwark. It was unpleas-
ant for three or four days, although
the mercury here did not drop below
80 degrees during the time
There are lots Of fall vegetables in
the valley and shipments are being
made every day. If you were to visit
the valley now you would see some of
the following things growing: Beets,
beans, carrots, onions, spinach, tur-
nips, parsley, tomatoes, celery, okra,
peppers, egg plant and cabbage, the
latter selling at 500 per ton. There
is an abundant crop Of oranges, lem
ons, grapefruit and many acres Of
ground are prepared for the spring
cotton crop.
Mr.. Harry Edwards and Mr.. Bowe
made the trip to this point from Gar
rctt county in less time than any Of
US. They came through in seven and
one-half days. Everyone in the party
coming from Garrett county have
been well and stood the trip splendid
ly with the exception of Mr. Henry
X. Friends family, which | am sorry
to say, had quite bit of sickness,
but they have now all recovered.
Mr.. Bowe has three acres of car
rots, some tomatoes, lettuce and beets.
He has irrigated twice. Mr.. Edwards
has been busy cultivating his citrus
orchard We have about two acres of
carrots, some beans and one acre of
cabbage. Oar land has been irrigated
once. We all expect to put out cotton
for the spring crop. The planting
season is from February 1st to March
1st.
We read in The Republican several
weeks ago a statement to the effect
that the water was standing from six
to eight inches deep around our
buildings | beg to say that this was
an error. We have been here all the
time and have failed to see anything
like that
Land parties come in about every
two weeks and the valley is building
up rapidly. We hope in the near flu
ture there will be some more Garrett
countians to join us in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley to enjoy the tropical
sunshine and many other pleasures
which this valley offers to everyone

commemorative of the Council of
Nicarea. This great ecumenical, or
general, church council, or synod, was
held in the year 325, just 1900 years
ago, at the above named city of
Nicarea, in Asia Minor. The Chris
tian church was being rent at that
time by the great Arian controver-
sy concerning the deity of Christ.
Arius, a presbyter, or elder. in the
church of Alexandria, in Egypt,
taught that Christ is only a creature,
although created before the world,
and of a different nature, or essence,
than God the Father. He was op-
posed by tn Q great teacher Athani-
sius, who deferGed the eternal deity
Of Christ and His oneness with God
the Father (See John 10:30l. This
Arian controversy formed The chief
article of discussion at Nicaea, and
after 2-months session of the soun-
Gil the Athanisius party won and the
party of Athanisius won out and the
outcome was the drawing up of the
great Nicene Greed, one of the so
called ccumencial creeds of Christen-
dom, and the vindication of the
Scriptural doctrine concerning the di-
vine-human person of our blessed Re-
deemer. As this subject Of the true
deity Of Christ is again to the fore
at present in the controversy between
Modernists and FundamertaIists-
MED by the former and upheld by the
latter--it is Of peculiar interest 70 al
Bible Christians just now. Hence the
arrangement TO celebrate next Sun
day, throughout our Synod, tive ami
vcrsary OF this great ecumenical coun-
Gil, which will afford an excellent op-
portunity to discuss fronI our pulpits

CONTINUOUS SMOOTH ROADWAY
HELD MONOTONOUS BY AUTOIST
III. L. Horning, Analysing Mental Makeup of the
Human, BeIieUes Motoring Without Bumps
You'd Lack Elements of Adventure.

Does riding on an absolutely smooth
road constitute the quintessence Of
enjoyment in motoring?
Most persons think an endless
stretch of smoother-t tn an concrete
highway would be the ideal situation
for driving on a beautiful Spring
Sunday afternoon. 1t is true that
before the advent of the hard-sur-
faced road, automobiling was not
very popular. but, after careful
analysis of the mental makeup of
the human, H. l.. Horning, president
OF the Society of Automotiye Engi-
neers, advances the theory that all
would not be so lovely if there were
no bumps and ruts, both physical
and mental, in the average motor trip.
The absolutely smooth road would
be very pleasant for while, so far
as the purely physical effect was
concerned, but. in his opinion. it
would become very monotonous and
devoid of those elements of adven
ture. uncertainty and change that
are the very soul of pleasure. The
physical pleasure of riding is in mild
exercise and the sensation of moving
through space, but the mental pleas

Cal1fornians in adding to the tourist
pleasure. There has been a vast
amount of road work done in the
national forests, national monuments
'and national parks so that these
scenic wonderlands not only are more
easily accessible but contain all
necessary provisions for the comfort
of the traveller.
There are more than 10000, 900
acres of national forests in California
which are open to the public for
touring, camping, fishing and ex-
ploring.
The Automobile Club of Southern
California extends thes same service

extreme boredom of living with one

Judging Human SensItivity.
Notwithstanding the sensitivity of
the instruments with which Nature
has endowed the human body" says
Mr.. Horning. Judgment of riding
qualities is as varied and strange as
the individuals themselves, and may
change from day to day, with the
weather, the state of ones finances
and his degree of domestic tranquil
ity, and is more critical when the car
is not paid for, particularly when the
payment is due.
specialists who deal with physical
and mental Impressions, either deli
cate or rising to the seriousness of a
real injury, have given the very ap-
propriate name insult to them. These
specialists tell us that two impress
sions spring from every insult-one
purely physical and the other mem
tai. Thus, with riding qualities, we
are always dealing with both physi-
cal and mental Impressions which in
f1uence the changing decisions
regarding performance.
THE perceptions that cause an
noyance, fatigue or apprehension are
all connected with the amount of fuss
a car is making. In the cars of later
days the amplitude of vibration has
been greatly reduced and the speed
increased. but the Bureau of Stand
ards has found that vibrations of
the seat of only 0.001 of an inch can
be disagreeable. 1t is the number of
impulses sent to the brain that tires.
What Passenger Needs.
ITO enjoy a car the passenger needs
to have in mind some favorable pre-
conception or ideal. and once a defect
or disagreeable incident occurs with
a car the user becomes supersensit:ve
to that one thing. Nine-tenths of the
average complaints about a product
arise from this mental state.
Americans pay a high price for
the pleasurable sensation of accelera-
tion. At least % per cent of the fuel
consumed is due to toting around an
ability to accelerate and the liberal
use of that ability.

MILLION TOURISTS
Spring Rains Assure Auto
Parties That Trip Will
Be Beautiful.

Los ANGELES. Calf, April IL
Bountifui Spring rains throughout
California have assured Eastern
motorists who contemplate a vacation
trip to the West Coast this year a
delightful sojourn in the land of
Sunshine and flowers. To the
Easterner rain usually is attended
with mud and discomfort, but in
Southern California rains are hailed
with rejoicing. as they mean beauty
and prosperity.
Late rains, particularly, are well
coined, as normally there is no pre-
cipitation from May until October.
This situation is ideal for the va
cationiSt, but to the resident of
California il means that all the rain
needed for the year must fall during
the Winter and early Spring, or it
will not come at all.
Million Tourists Expected.
In view of the improved agricul
tural conditions throughout the
Middle West and general business
conditions the country over, it is eX
Pected that approximately one million
motor tourists will invade the Golden
State this year Preparations have
Eeen made for an increase of 25 per
~sR& over last year. Scores of new
camp grounds have been established,
main boulevards have been straight
ened and widened, new highways
have beer opened, gasoline stations
and garages installed in the lesser
frequented zones, and the signposting,
which is done by the Automobile Club
of Southern California, has been
thoroughly inspected and replace
ments made where necessary.
The California bound motorist will
find the transcontinental trails thor
oughly signposted by this motoring
organization west from Omaha, Kan
sas City and Kent, Tex. some 200
miles east of FL Paso. These three
routes also have been improved since
last Summer. so that the motorist
this year will find the transcon-
tinentaI trip more enjoyable than it
ever has been in the past.

VALVE GRINDING ADVICE.
Spend a Few Moments in Plan
ming, Is Tip.

Are you going to grind in the
valves this Spring? If SO, it will pay
you to spend a few odd moments be-
forehand planning your method of
removing the head. What must come
off and what should not be touched?
Just what kind of wrenches are you
going to need? How are you going
to remove that ignition conduit? VIII
you need a special wrench to reach
the nut that also holds the horn
bracket?

fore you start, the job Will be done

miles, nearly two million miles were
not improved with any kind of surfacing

1.-THE total cash expenditure for road
. construction and maintenance by all
States in 1904 was approximately $50
900, 900, of which only $500 900, o7'
about per cent, was spent by or under
the supervision of the 13 State high
way departments then in existence.
More than four-fifths Of the total State
controlled expenditure was made by four
States - Connecticut, Massachusetts,
New Jersey and New York.
Owners of motor vehicles in a num-
Der of the States paid into the public
treasures a total of slightly more than
$33, 900, but most of the States made 30
charge for the privilege of using the
roads, and most of those which did
failed to devote the money thus raised
to road improvement ends.
Situation in 1904 Cited.
-"Such was the situation in 1904. The
country was then just beginning the
work which has occupied it continuously
for the 20 years since. The improved
roads of that time had been surfaced
for horse drawn traffic, and because of
the early ravages of the automobile
it is safe to say that scarcely single
mile, with the exception of a small
mileage of brick, survived the ensuing
years. 1t is reasonable presump-
ton, therefore, that the now existing
mileage of surface roads, conservatively
estimated at $50, 900 miles, is a prod

Result of Traffic Surveys.


The recent traffic survey made by the
bureau of public roads in a number of
the States show that fully one-third of
passenger car mileage is in the interest
of some business pursuit, and it is i'm
possible not to foresee that this business
usage will increase in Importance.
'As for the motor truck, it has be-
come a downright necessity. That both
types of motor vehicle will become still
more numerous, especially the motor
trucks, is written large in the funda-
mental economic facts which justify
them.
'The country which has been develop
ed extensively through the agency of the
railroads is now to be further develop
ed intensively with the aid of the motor
vehicle and the highway.
Between the meshes of our railroad
system there is land which the railroad
cannot economically serve. At the CEN
ters where the railroads meet great
cities have sprung up, and their rapidly
multiplying population makes transport
demand on the Immediately tributary
area which the railroads unaided cannot
answer.
THE motor truck and the automobile
with the improved road offer the logi-
cal solution. 1t is these fundamental
economic conditions which inspire con-
fidence that the improvement of roads
