In fact the word dreams so piq-
ued his curiosity. that this time he
quietly drove down with the good
wife to see what had happened,
meanwhile. And TO his astonish-
ment, even more than the ambitious
realtors told him would happen has

new citizen.
Once upon a time, children Of a
northern family were telling Valley

look what a good deed they did.
AND TO furthermore prove that

Railway company for damages be-

The kind Of publicity that the VAL
ley needs in far distant parts Of the
United States Is to do away with
any idea. especially among the wo-
men folk, that to come down into
the Valley to live will be going TO
one Of the far ends Of the earth.

Two dangers to America are being
pointed out from two different
sources. These are too much
noise and too little food. Please get
that last named, in view Of another
trend which has been the vogue for
q number OF years. The too much
noise idea comes out New York. 1t
is said that DR.. Foster Kennedy OF
Cornell Medical College, has found
after tests on rats that noise re-
duces energy II per cent. Noise he
declared Is the cause Of 81 many
middle aged men dropping dead on

fine on thefn. When the pocket
book is reached they will stop tx
