SAGE and SOIL
Bv Mn. Paul Schallor

Ever since I came TO the Big
Horn valley, there has been ap-
parent to me a fact that I think
! all of us should face.
There are people above the IT.
rigation project that depend on
rain and weather conditions to
make their livelihood, and they
are our next door neighbors.
However, if you want to have
a hair-raising, narrowing exper-
fence, Just be nearby when it
rains at the time beet harvest
is in full swing.
The most heavenly blue Is
that of the early morning sky
as the rain laden clouds of
fleecy gray part and let the sun
shine on all Gods chillun."
The registration and drawing
to take our national crop of
the land" our men of 81 to IS
has put us all on edge. There is
scarcely one of us that hasn't a
loved one in that crop.
Let me say here that our To-
cal board has one of the hard
est, meanest, toughest jobs in
the world. Their scales are bal
anced with the weights of JUS
tice, honesty and loyalty on one
side and prejudice, malicious
ness and tears on the other.
But after all, those are the
balances on the scale of our ev-
eryday life.
It is a superhuman task for
these men to handle those
weights to suit us all. I think we
have a fine board, and let us
get behind them a hundred per
cent and weight any utterance
we have to make in the light OF
the balance they must use.
Recently our young son dis
covered one of our neighborS
who was not in accord with his
political viewpoint. Jaw, Nom, 3"
he walled, Amt that a heck of
a note?"
Note or no note, he'll be down
eating her apple pie and SWIM
ming with her boys next sum-
mer just the same. That's why
America is grand.
If I could have one wish for
next week, I would order that
the word "hate" be stricken
from our language and our
hearts, and that the word
think" be written in capital
letters in its place.
No man, no matter how big,
can hate and think at the same
time.

First Submarine Pontoons

The navy department says that
the first use of submersible pom
toons was in salvaging H. M. cruiser
Gladiator, a British vessel, by the
Liverpool Salvage association, I'm
der Capt. Fred w. Young, in 1908.
In salvaging this vessel large steel
cylinders were fastened to the SUBJ
merged portion of the cruiser in
such a way as to increase her
buoyancy. The cylinders were built
OF steel plates and bars and were IL
feet in diameter. They varied in
length from 40 feet to rs feet. The
cylinders were tested to Is pounds
per square inch. The outer skin
was sheathed with wood and the
ends were protected by collision
mating. These steel cylinders had
special valves to admit water for
the purpose of sinking them and
separate valves for the admission of
air to drive out the water when it
was desired to ref1oat them.

Soil Expert Describes Way
To Saue Salt Watered' Lawns

Unless some precautions are OBJ
served, tn. use of the city water
supply for watering lawns and gar
dens may cause some injury to
tender plants on account of the
temporarily high salt content, DR..
l.. G.. Willis, in charge of the soil
research laboratory, said yester-
day.
DR.. Willis issued the following
statement: 1.-The amount of salt
now in the water will not in itself
cause serious injury except on acid
soils. When lime has been applied
there is little risk Of damage.
"When lawns or gardens r wa
tered, however, the moisture pene-
trates into the soil for a few inches
and then, as 500 as the watering
is discontinued, this is drawn back
to the surface by evaporation. This
would produce a concentration of
salt which might cause serious
damage.
1.-THE symptoms of injury first
observed would probably be a dry
ing of the tips of the leaves, and
the diagnosis can be confirmed by
