We never see him at the game, not even in the bleachers. He .stands be fore a checkered frame with scores of fellow creatures. He cannot hear the crack of bat or see the rival flingers, but yet he visions aH 'of that as on the curb he lingers. He cannot hear the batters “beef” or hoot*in wild derision, jior,can he raise a cry of “thief” when peeved at some decision. He cannot watch, with features set, liis diamonfl gods em battled; he cannot start a din to get the other twirler rattled. But yet he groans or whoops with joy^^ looks glum or starts to grinning, when now and. then the office boy chalks up the latest inning. The board dissolves before his view as do the street and alley and fancy speeds him quickly to that dear old Rainier val ley. In fancy he is with the birds that perch upon the rajling, with “empties” and assorted words the robber “umps” assailing, and though the scoreboard’s potent dope portends a sad disaster, he sticks around in dogged hope his heroes yet will master. ^ Most anyone can be a fan who owns a season ticket; it takes another sort of man to be a scoreboard picket. He swarms around the boards in packs, he’s not aloof or clannish. If he were charged a sidewalk tax how soon our debt would vanish.—Carlton Fitchett in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. mmm tells F M B ’NEEDS Tillage of Soil is the Crying Need of the Hour, Says '^Farmer Jurist/' MUST DEVELOP AGRICULTURE.

Turlrestan is, of course, primarily agriculttiral country, and cotton, the major crop. The other industries still await develfipmont. There is a tre- raondoiis field for the cultivation of vineyards and rice and other cereals. At the same time, the development of agriculture will greatly stimulate the .slicep-raisiiig iudus'try, vchich is now in tli<‘ hands of primitive natives, uninstriuied in mofiern methods. 'The ITuir industry awaits tlip guiding hand of modern science. With the help of California specialists, Turkestan could he transformed into an enormous fruit gUi'den. There is at present only one factory for fruit preserving. Similar ly, the fish teeming in the lakes and rivers need only the introffiuotion of modern industry to place them upon the food jnarkets of the world. The sililL industry,^ .if properly organized, would easily lieeome one of the most importunt in the world. The mountains of Turkestan are ficli in unexploited minerals. Gold, iron, copper, coal and many rare and ijrecious stones and metals await the pioneer. There Is an old legend in Turkestan that the Eden of the first man was placed in the valley of Ferghafia and that for his sin Allah laid a curse upon the country and transformed it into desert. The quickening touch of water restores the desert to richness and fer tility surpassing all legends. Who will build Eden anew?

Howard of Troy, “the farm er jurist.” “Of course,” tjhe New York Evening Telegram, quotes Mr. Dillon as saying, “while some of my correspondents have suggested men who are practical farmers as their choice, I was surpris ed to see the Howard sentiment - and wrote to Judge Howard. His letter is such that I like Howard’.” Mr. Dillon says that' the farmers will be heard from in politics this year, and they will not take a candidate un less they knoTV exactly where he stands on the Question of the needs of the farmers.

Domesday Book, or Doomsday Book, is the ancient record of tlie survey of most of the lands of England made by order of William the Conqueror un der special commissioners about the year 1086. It consists of tvro volumes,' a large folio and a quarto,, and gives the name of every proprietor of land and the extent of his possessions. All of England, except Northumberland. Durham, part of Cumberland and part, of Westmoreland, was included in the survey. The Domesday Book was for merly kept In the chapter house of Westminster, but is now in the public record office. Taxes Were levied by this book un-'' til 1522, when a more accurate sur vey was published at national cost in 1783, In two folio volumes. Two sui>- pleraentary volumes were published in 1816. Where Life Is Longest. ■* Which is the healthiest place in the world? If the inde:^ is the death rate, as it presumably ipust be, we have to go to the unlikely neighborhood of ^ antarctic to find it. In the last c o lons report from the Falkland Islands the death rate for 1917 and 1918 was 5.31 per 1,000. During ten years the death rate in England and Wales did not drop below 13.3, and was. as high as 17.6. Yet the climate of the Falkland Is lands is vigorous and the country is more bleak and baiTen than the Shet- lands. High winds blow almost con stantly, but there is no scarcity, of sunshine. To these, Natures’ »two great disinfectants, 4s probably due the longevity of-the sparse population. —^Ijondon Tit-Bits. Measuring Colors. An English scientist has,^ according to Popular Mechanics Magazine, worked out a method of taking exact measurement of color.- Black;^ white and gray are photometrically com pared with standard white? and their composition expressed in percentage of black or white. A color, such a» red, is compared with a white surface in a pure red light.' H. the red ap pears darker, it is matched with a gray surface under a red Hght, the percentage of black then being the same inf both. Assigning the number 25 to red, such a composition as cln-' nabar would be signified by the fig ures 25 .04 18, meaning red with 4 per fient of wMifi aad IS per figpt acquired the experience that fits him to speak with autlioiity on the subject of farming. Judge Howard’s views on the vital questions affecting not only the farm er, but every consumer \in the state, were expressed in the following inter view w h ich w a s published in the N e w York Evening Telegrapi: ^ “The land is de.serfed. Prosperous agricultural sections have becoipe des erts. The gardens have disappeared and the waving fields of grain. Bushes and weeds grow rampant in the soil. All over Ne.w York and New England the abandoned farm houses stand like .sentinels, along the roads. The popu lation is rushing to the cities. Seven million people hover around New York harbor. And the population of the- other cities of the state is leaping up 'with amazing bounds. The residents of these great cities produce no; food; 'they grow no wool. They must be fed and clothed. The problem is sti^en- dous. And yet the state gives little heed to the subject. The laboring man is forced to wrestle alone with the high cost of living, while the speculator Is permitted unhindered to gobble up-the profits of the faianer. “The state pays almost no attention to the farmer. It builds magnificent boulevards fot the accommo'dation- of automobiles, while the back country roads remain saturated with mud‘ or furrowed with ruts. During certain seasons of the year the farmer cannot get to market with his crops. These cross country roads should be improv ed a*nd^ade passable at all seasons. And gravel wagon paths should\ be constructed on each side of fhe mac adam bed of all state highways soe that farmers can drive to. the city with horses and wagons. . “I do not speak as a thecMrist on these snhjects. I am a farmer—a prac tical, real farmer. For many years I have operated a farm. I' was-- brought up in the country. I know the needs of the farmer. I know the way he thinks. I kn'ow his handicaps, his problems, his difficulties. I know thafc the state government pays scanty heed to his wants. “I smart keenly, as all farmers do, nnder the consciousness of -neglect. Every other project and'subject mat ter receives the attention of. statesmen and every other business is fostered .and protected by the laws of the state. But farming is only an incident, ap parently, as legislators view the sub ject—almost a joke. It is subordinate, it would seem. In the eyes of the great men, to all other human pursuits. “This is the great error of the age. The tlllalge of the soil Is the crying \need of the hour. Farming is a busi ness and the energies of government at this time, should be directed large ly to the development of the agricul tural resources of the state. This pol icy should continue, I believe, lintll the evils which have sprung frohi a long season of neglect -are. completely •ed.” ...... _ Do Your Shoes Wear Thru Like This? If 80, you probably have a callous on .the sole of yout foot, directly above the worn spot on the sole of your shoe. This spot wears thru because one or m^ore of the little bones in the BalF of your foot ate lower than those on ^ither side of it. ^ The increased pressure on this spot, not only zna^es the shoe , wear\ out faster but it will , cause a painful callous or oth er forms of foot trouble. ^ normsU positions with m m ' And Callous Relievers They contain nonnetal.
