recently and were much impressed by the appearance of thrift here the tine fine flocks of rhode island reds the large flock of turkeys and some hundred or more excellent young sheep and the presence of well bred swine together with a bunch of heavy work vork horses and a lot of dairy cows made an ideal rural ranch the sheds were well built the blacksmith shop well equipped the henhouse warm and a dodge car copied the long distances tor for the family clarence smith is adding to his acres b buying in clay basin and sand wash both ideal places tor for the sheep industry let other altonah alzonah farmers who have not started yet got get the step and unite la in cooperation it is a rich place tor for the smith way behind the plow goes the plowman who tills the fields tor for grain behind the hank bank stands the banker who passes the coin tor for gain behind the flock stands the shepherd who shears the wool ot of the world behind the mine stands the miner who seeks tor for the gold and them the pearl behind the labor is muscle behind the muscle is law and the weaver who weaves for the future is a weaver who weaves without flaw behind the world are the forces behind the forces Is god behind the soul is the saviour though the body return to the clod behind the grave stands the victor even as you or I 1 and back of the tact fact is the god of the fact that life can never die altonah

are intending to put up some hay this year and this Is a good idea hay will hover around 10 the year round and it is wise to have a at kfoury stack on the farm some farmers have already irrigated some of their hay fields water at this time is scarce in all the ditches the time is still early thirty days from now will make the prospects more in evidence but remember that an alfalfa plant can produce seed without much irrigation wet farms are still wet the moffat gilsonite mine will soon have a payroll of fifteen men and will be shipping three hundred tons per month the vein runs ninety eight per

beautiful home when lie be gets the vines on his porch and american beauty roses in his front yard he believes in the future ot of his community as we all should As a man thin keth in his heart so la Is lie be have you ever sauntered down the street of a 1 country village in the dusk of evening and suddenly in the vast dome of 0 gloom above you you feel the soft touch ot of a I 1 star as it crosses the great and kisses your eye with a thrill of light and as the thrill passes into your consciousness the thought ot of the farther stars that hold bold their posts of 0 sentinel duty beyond the reach ot of the unaided sye ye tar far out in the trackless void so tar far that their little gleams travel for or twenty thousand years before they arrive at the little city street down which you are arc walking and should their light go out in that limitless ocean ot of space it would be twenty thousand years hence til the little city would know that a sentinel star on the rim ol of the pioneer trail had suddenly gone out perhaps yesterday twenty thousand years ago |
