tmted. At the cIohc of the pnrty MIhh
Hnmilton, prcpnring to ntnrt home,
attempted to Ktnrt her oar, but fait
ed. Others nsfdBtcd, but to no nvnil.
Ed Andrews nnd IJfivc Kospubergi
who worn ureaeut, accompanied Miss
Hamilton on her stnrt homo on foot
to notify her father, I, L. Hamilton,
about the balk' machine. Just iih
ihvy wcrc.ntteinptinp; to croHs Sixth
street on Grape, Dunbar Cass came
along in his automobile. Ho mndo n
abort turn at tho street croHHing, the
headlight being turned in the wrong
direction to be of service to the
driver. Ilia enr struck MIhh Hamil
ton nnd Mr. Rosenberg, throwing Minn
llntnilton to the pavement with some
force. The front wheel of tho inn.
chine passed over her body across the
hips. She wns nt once picked tip by
.IJr. Andrews mid Mr. Itosenberg, who
had cftuupi'd serious injur', nnd
taken by r. Cam nnd. these gentle
men to her home. Dr. 1'icklo wnn im
mediately summoned. After u cure
Jul examination of the injured young
Indy ho pronounced her injuries pain
fully severe, but not serious. Tlibi
morning Mihs Hamilton is reported to
lie getting along comfortably, cousid
cring tho nntiire of the iock.
Mr. Cass, it is declared by Mr. An-Iri-wfl,
could not have been more care
ful nnd woh driving slowly nt tho tlmo
of tho accident. Tho lights of tho
machine ve.ro t timed in such manner
ns to bo of no service to tho pedestri
ans. Altogether no one is blamed for
thu result of the unfortunate circuin
atniirn from which Mi Hamilton
alone suffered injury of n physical

(The first of a series of nrticlis
discussing agricultural problems in
the ltogur Jliver valley by n soil ex
port.)
Ily Y. W. WATSON. '
Tho water factor in agriculture is
the most important phyHicnl fuotor in
that busiuoHS.
Water, soil, nir nnd sunshine eon
stituto the one gront grou?) of phys
ical forces tbnt dctttuiino the. growth
of plants.
Irrigation is the artificial applica
tion of water to lands for the piirpoHo
of producing large and steady Jields
of crops wherever tho rainfall is in
sufficient to meet the full require
uieuts of commercial plant growth.
In an earnest nnd most friendly
way I desire to take tho fanners of
this valley into my confidence in a
discussion of thu three simple, yet
very important, propositions set out
above. To put the matter plainl"
nnd effectively before those who till
the soil in this fertile region will re
quire a scries of articles. I trust
that those who are so vitally mtorcM
ed in this important matter will fol
low the discussion closely, ft will bu
offered in tho siucerest spirit of help
fulness at n time in this otsunty when
proper foil management is a matter of
gravest liioinciil to those cotitomvd in
soil production. This soil treatment
cannot bo given effectively without
tho tiso of water nt the proper tiwo
and, in tho proper quantity.
tfo Mystery AUylt It
Tho operation of the laws of na
ture for tho increase of the bounty of
tho soil for man nnd bonst is not a
secret process. Tho element of mys
tery has been eliminated from the
combiuntio'ns affected by soils mixed
with wmtcr, Thu puvoruniont, through
its agricultural department, tenches
tho fanners how to uulooli this great
storehouse of vast Qroalth. Statu enl-
pegos teach it. Hooks nnfl bulletin
am fteo to those who ,oull lourn by

to ttfu situntinn. Tlftro in no mys

When you see an alert-looking young man in a lively argument
rt)ll a "Rull" Durham cigarette it's the natural thing. He likes to
punctuate a crip sentence with a puff of "Bull". His mind re
sponds to the Jfreshness that's in the taste of "Bull". His senses are
quickened by the unique aroma of "Bull". A cigarette of "Bull"
Durham just fits in "with keen thinking and forceful action. '
