LIFE l THE irfTER-
One of the Outstanding Ed
itors of the Country
Finds It Changed
(The western editor of the Con
gregationalist. Boston and Chica
go, hail been making a trip In the
Inland Empire, or the Inter moun
tain country, and he writes the
following for that newspaper:)
So this is Idaho. I have usually
thought .of Idaho as a desert -what
I had seen of it in crossing
the state ft few times had giren
me that impression. On this trip
I hare ridden through the farm
ing sections of what Is known as
the Inland Empire and it seems
that; I hare spent the' time in a
great garden. The fanning in this
section ia mostly of the dry va
riety, yet I hare seen hundreds of
fields of wheat, oats, and hay al
ready harrested or ripe for the
harvest with a yield equal to that
of many sections of the' country
that have a good rainfall.
I have been spending two weeks
at young people's conferences -one
in Washington, the other in
Idaho, both at lakes In the moun
tains. Yesterday wahad 9 long
automobile ride, passing from one
camp to anohter. We came down
a twelve-mile hill, with a descent
of 3,000 feet. I This gave us a fine
lew ..of the valley for perhaps six
ty miles. ' The1 experience brought
me a new appreciation of the farm
wealth of our country. I noticed
a sale sign listing a 320-acre farm
at 990 per acre. .Although mar
keting is. costly in this section,
land brings a good price.
The automobile has brought
great changes to the mountain sec
tions of the country, changes more
noticeable perhaps than, those in
other parts. In a former day all
travel here, save that by rail, was
by horseback pr mountain wagon.
Vehicles had been developed which
would j stand great abuse, and
western horses were as tough as
the f wagons. Life was ' primitive
then', and lack of money brought
great hardships to matt and beast.

PKOVINCETOWN, Mass.
(AP)-i-Town crying just doesn't
, pay the way It used to, and so an
other ancient New England voca
tion has passed into history.
Walter T.. Smith, last of the
Massachusetts town criers, has put
away his cap and bell at the age
of 78. Lameness has bothered
him, and hard times have beset
the town crying business in recent
years.
Yet town crying once flourished
in his old community on Cape
Cod. Two or three criers trod the
wooden sidewalks as recently as
1900, when Smith took up his call
ing. The clang of their bells and
the . heralding of their announce
ments were as much a part of vil
lage life as is reading the news
papers today.
For a small fee the criers would
aunounce steamer sailings, news of
shipwrecks, auctions of ships, gear
or furniture, or advertise enter
tainments. But of late business
has been so poor that Smith has
made ionly $300 a year. In an
nouncing his retirement the aged
exponent of a dying vocation capit
ulated to the newspaper, his mod
ern successor. v J X K-
"I put a notice In the paper so
tLey wouldn't bring me any more
work jthis summer," he explained.
"I've done my last crying. I'm
used upi It finally got my feet
those i concrete sidewalks and
with my game leg I -can't' be on the
Job any more. '
"Yes, I kind of think town cry

lOWA CITY. Iowa, (AP)
Aviators lost at sea can ascertain
their positions within 3 5 miles by
using the stars as a chart, says
Professor Charles C. Wylie, Uni
versity of Iowa, astronomer and
mathematician.
A pocket star chart and a watch
set by Greenwich "star time" are
the necessary instruments. The
star chart. Professor Wylie ex
plains, is a map of the heavens j
with the hours laid out on the east
and west line, the astronomer's
right ascension, porresponding to
longitude on ordinary maps. The
declination, or latitude, is on the
north and south side.
On a watch set by Greenwich
sidereal time, the stars always
cross the meridian at the same
time they cross by the ordinary
clock on March 21. Every star,
Wylie says, crosses the meridian at
the same star time throughout the
year. It is by their observation
that the standard clocks at the
United States Naval Academy are
regulated.
The process Is described as sim
ple if the sky Is clear. From his
plane Ihe lost aviator suspends
with a string any snyill heavy ob
ject. Sighting up the string at the
sky, he notes the position of the
object as: related to the stars.
Marking this -on the star chart,
the declination of the overhead
point gives the latitude in de
grees. Next he consults the Greenwich
watch, subtracts the right ascen
sion from, its reading and has the
longtitndo in hours, minutea and
seconds. Multiplying this by fif
teen, the degrees of longtitude are
computed.
Knowing both latitude and long
itude, the aviator can mark his po
sition on a map of the world.
"With ordinary care says Wy
lie, "the aviator should make an
error no greater than the diamet
er of the moon. This will bring
the point he marks on the map of
the world at least within thirty
five miles of his true position.'
; Use of a small sextant and the
Watch, with the tables of the gov
ernment nautical almanac, woald
give a position 'within a thousand

.Optimism and Advertising
Will Build Up Land
i and Other "Values
(C. E. Wantland.-, who calls
himself "Agricultural Optimist,"
has been spending a few days im
Salem, searching the records of
tax laws a-t the capitol and else
where (for California has its tax
problems, though that state has
no direct taxes on real property),
lives up to his handle; he is truly
an optimist concerning potential
land values on this . coast, and
throughout the country. The
following article, written by him
for the Los Angeles Realtor, ex

Optimism. It is" well worth read
ing. He was especially interested
in the Slogan number of The
Statesman of last Thursday on
Advertising., , The artlele in the
magazine of the realtors of Los

Agriculture's Problems," as fol

power for good or evil in all the

"Nothing can withstand the
force of a good idea whose hour
has come." ,
"Advertising can solve the
problems of agriculture" says
President Dana of the Pacific
Coast Advertising Clubs. The ad
vertising brethren, as well as
farm land owners and agents, say
"Amen."
Agriculture, the basic Industry,
has many problems. It has had
many so-called saviors during the
past few years. They blew up.
Some of the latest remedies pro

fate, but "advertising" as a rem
edy carries with it the promise
of success. ,
Legislation may assist, and
credit facilities for the farmer, as
favorable as for other business
men, are necessary. Some experts
claim the only remedy .must be to
adjust production so as to prevent
a surplus. Opposed to that theory
are the optimists who, while ad
vocating a better balanced pro

cation , the introduction of new

Napoleon's conviction that an
army- travels on its stomach is
shared by the war department of
the United, States-- It maintains a
cooking school atiFort" Riley to
train bakers,"ro6ks and mess ser
geants in the art of feeding sol
diers, and through its activities
the government has learned how
to insure soldiers an ample diet on
33 cents apiece a day. "
A class of bakers and cooks,
first set up at Fort Riley in 1905,
was made into a real school in
1908, and now more than a hun
died. men graduate yearly from
the cooking school, to become in
structors in similar schools in each
corps area. Officers, too, are
trailed in culinary arts a'nd mess

ing soldiers on 33 cents a day lies,
officers sayr in quantity buying.
careful handling of foodstuffs and
a knowledge of how best to pre
pare them. : i
Here are some tips for house
wives from the military kitchens:
Hash is never served. Meat
patties or croquettes are made
from the cold meats that cannot
bo utilized, otherwise. Left-over
bread is never thrown raway. It
is diced, toasted and used in soups
Soups are a regular item on the
army menu. Bones are not cooked
with meat, but ire removed and
boiled to make soup stock. Enough
soup to feed 60 men can be made
from 38 to 45 cnts by the army
method. - j .
Cheaper cuts of meat than' those
ordinarily used n the home are
prepared appetizlngly. Brisket,
flank and chuck take the place of
prime rib and loin . on. the army
menu. Leit-over, potatoes .reap
pear at the nextimeal as "hashed
brown." I .
The army system is applicable
to civil life, for-most of the train
ed cooks and bakers upon retired

bakeries of their own. '.
