Frick niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiijiiiiiiiiiin,- HUAJATOLLA II (Spanish Peaks) T THE dim and distant ages, savage tribes from the Dortbtand came oui of a thundering cloud and drove away the people who lived In the quiet, peaceful valley at the foot of the Twin Peaks. But the Rain Gods, who dwelt on the peaks withheld the ruin and the invaders were forced to llee, for the land became a great and wa terless desert. But the invaders, who had con quered tlie country, and then aban doned it when the gates of rain were closed, had meanwhile established a mighty empire In the south, extend ing from ocean to ocean und far Into the north. They had numerous stone gods which they worshiped, nnd images of these gods they placed over nil the hind. It was (!! ustom th ; 1 -in: gods should be decked With guid and silver Which they took from the rocks in their own country. But when the gold and sliver he came scarce they Journeyed north Ward once more and made their way even to Hunjatolln, Breasts of the World, where the clouds are born that make the summer rains. And here they found much gold, fairest and brightest of all they had found. And the gold they found in untold quantities, and expeditions were made year after year. Despite all f..ey took the gold became no less, but "those above," who rule the world at last In tervened for they became fearful ol the power of the stone gods. They ' placed evil spirits on Mount Huaja tolla, driving away the treasure seek ers forever. Wrathful at all mankind the Kaln Gods became, and they tilled all the valleys with rock and earth; fire de mons they brought, and although they are Invisible they manifest their power In many ways, giving word of their presence through great rumblings in the bosom of the mountains and by vapors and smokes and fires, which poured from the summit of the peaks and made the land a desert and a wilderness where no man might live. So were the treasure seekers driven away, and the Italn Gods ruled that no man should again find the treas ure, which was theirs, and the in vaders were again forced Into the southland, where, they had built their great empire; and there they could worship their stone gods as they pleased, but no more could they take of the gold that belonged to the Ualu Gods, who dwelt on the summit of Huajatolla. From that time the Valley of the Rising Sun, which was a region fairer than any, became a place f gloom and henceforth it was called t lie "Vni ley of the Evil Spirits," as it Is called to this day. Note The above legend Is beyond question of Aztec origin probably em bellished and increased by the north ern tribes who repeat It. It shows traces of Hopl alteration, but certalnl; comes of thnt great Shoshonl family of which the Hopl and Aztecs are both descendants. SOVIET DELEGATE IS ASSASSINATED Lausanne M. Vorovsky, the Rus sian soviet delegate to the Lausanne peace conference, was assassinated here by Maurice Alexander Conradi, a Swiss who once served in the Rus sian army. Conradi, who was seized by the police in Hotel Cecil after he had killed Vorovsky and wounded two at taches of the Russian delegation, main tained that he acted alone in an effort to avenge his father and uncle for the mistreatment they received at the hands of the bolshevikl during the "red terror." Ti e Leads of the delegations to the Lausanne peace conference, after an exchange of views, decided to take no official action on the assassination of M. Vorovsky. The representatives of the great powers, however, resent the charge made by the soviet delegation that they are morally responsible be cause their attitude toward the dele gation had created a local atmosphere from which the crime resulted.

It requires considerable moisture, but it does best in a relatively dry atmosphere where water la available for irriga tion. In the United States it suc ceeds at altitudes ranging ftom be low sea level in the Imperial Valley, California, to 8,000 feet above the a In the mountains in Colorado. Alfalfa stands hot weather well here the atmosphere is dry; most of the damage i;! done by very cold veather in winter and spring. It is not known to what extent cold alone does damage to the crop, but it is known that low temperatures com dned with other winter conditions cause a high mortality among the plants. Alternate freezing and 'hawing on poorly drained seils often loes much damage by heaving the plants out of the ground anil break ing the roots. Deep loams with op n subsoils are 'iest, but where other conditions are avorable the crop has a wide range if adaptation. It does not thrive on oil that has an impervious subso 1, tardpan, or bedrock near the sur ace. Good surface and underdrai i nge are necessary. During the growing season complete submer Tency for 24 to48 hours may do uuch injury, but when the plants .re dormant they may remain under vater for several days without in 'ury. The crop seldom succeeds vhere the water table conies close lo he surface, especially If it ITuctu tea considerably. DR. W. W.
