They say that accidents will happen
in the best regulated families. It Is not
to be expected that no accidents would
happen in the best regulation of the
automotive situation one could conceive.
1t. is to be expected that there will be
fewer automotive accidents than are
now occurring
One of my neighbors, woman who
Is a careful and competent driver, drove
some supplies. She arrived 0. K, did
her shopping and started back toward
her home. Traffic was fairly heavy, so
she decided, for the sake of safety, to
keep in line with the cars just ahead
of her. A car came In the other direc-
ton, going rather fast. got out of con-
troll, smashed into her vehicle, ripped
of two wheels, tenders, running board
ruined her car. She sustained minor
injuries.
The point in this incident that want
to stress is that there was an ultra
cautious driver who had done all that
could be expected Of any one operating
a car. Yet due to no fault of hers her
machine was consigned to the junk
heap and she received physical injuries.
Now she has all the inconvenience of
getting another car and of trying to get
financial compensation from the reck-
less driver who was the real cause of
this disaster.
Does Not Prevent Waste.
Bhe may have luck or not. as the jury
SEQ fit, and perhaps after waiting for
NcnthS before her case can come up for
legal decision. OF course, she could
carry insurance protection. So could
the man who ran into her. However,
insurance protection does not do away
with waste in time and materials, nor
does 1t relieve physical disability which
may result from serious motor acct
dent.
In spite Of all this, insurance protec-
ton appears to be one of the best me-
diums which is available for use by the
motoring public as protection against
loss due to automobile accidents. A
motorist is hardly justified in taking q
chance on getting by for a year with
out an accident, and consequently saw
ing the cost Of liability and accident
insurance. Practically every person who
owns a home Is not content to take a
chance on It's burning up or being
damaged by fire.
Protection Of home by fire insur-
ance seems to be the sensible procedure,
even though there Is some expense in
volved. The chance OF q man owning
an automobile having some kind of an
accident, even though 1t be q minor
one, is probably greater than Is the
chance Of a man owning a home that
his house be damaged by fire. Conse-

Bed Of Fossil Plants
Found in Ceta Canyon
By College Professor

CANYON, Tex, July 11.-(Pl-W.
d. Matter, member Of the faculty
OF the West Texas State Teachers
College, who is studying the Ceta
Canyons near here, has discovered
a bed Of fossil plants in an ancient
jaw bone.
The fossil bed is located in the
South Ceta Canyons. The plants
were found in shape, somewhat like
a baseball, but had fluted sides with
grooves running the length of the
plant. They also resemble some Of
the modern cactus plants, but grew
in sWamps instead of on dry land.
1t is apparent that they grew in the
ancient swamp, although they we're
found 500 feet above the level of the
plain in a silt pocket.
Another specimen Of interest is
the 10-inch jawbone of a horse
found near the bed of fossil plants.
In this same place there are nu-
merous other varieties Of bones and
plants that Mr.. Natter expects to
identify soon.

PALM BEACH, Fla. July II, Up
Florida planters, whose pineapple
crop once formed the leading agri-
cultural industry Of Palm Beach
county, are trying hard to restore
production to its former Importance.
The crop, which exceeded 1,000,-
900 crates in 1910 for the east coast
belt, has diminished until the pro-
duction in the county will not ex-
coed 5000 crates, according to an
estimate by M. U. Mounts, county
agricultural agent.
The decrease has been due large
ly- to wearing out Of old lands, eX-
cessive cost Of planting on new
lands, and competition by the Gu
ban industry.

suffered q decline Of its pineapple

make them fit for production again.

AS a practical method Of restor-

States department Of agriculture
recommends that Natal grass be
sown and allowed to grow on the
impoverished soil two years or long

The grass, besides adding the es-

out the nematodes-tone, wormlike
parasites, which cause a devastating

Agricultural experts Of the de-

ALASKA FARM LAND
 FREE OF TAX UNTIL
 TERRITORY IS STATE

Referring to the effort now be- ing made to attract settlers to the rich MatanuSka and Panama Valleys, and the homeseekers' rates, the first ever offered to Alaska, and which will be placed in effect August 25 from the Mid- dle West to the Northland via Seattle, Col. Otto F. Ohlson, gen. eral manager of the Alaska Rail- road, in Seward Saturday, had the following to say.
 M. D. Snodgrass, of the agri- cultural department will spend the next 10 months in the states ap- pealing to farmers to take ad- vantage of the opportunities of fered by the government in Alas ka. That hardy farmers who are not afraid of work, are wanted. Through various publications i'll the Middle West the message is being sent to 100000 readers. The land opened for settlement will be free of taxes until the Territory becomes a state.
 The government will offer to settlers tracts of 160 acres of timbered land, which can easily be cleared For those who wish to raise stock fine grazing land in the public domain will be made available Ownership of of tract of of 160 acres may be obtained by three years residence on the property, the improvement and development of one-eight of the land and the building of a permanent home After IA months residence, the land may be pur- chased by the homesteader at SIPS an acre.
 The Matanuska Valley is we'll adapted to dairy and poultry raising, while wheat, oats, barley peas, rye and all dairy feed may be produced in the Tanana Valley. The climate in the Tanana Valley is much the same as that in Mon tana and Wyoming. Tn the Mat anuska Valley there are mild win ters similar to those in Central Washington.
 Regarding the special tariff rate from Seattle to Seward it is expected that a reduction of one- fourth in the regular steamship rate will be granted Alaska home seekers.

result, died quite suddenly. Ever since
