ABOUT ELECTION RESULT
(Continued from page 1)
Idaho would have a primary law.
And the Republican gubernatorial
candidate was forced, in the end, to
recant his opposition and^o agree,
tacticly, that he would sign the pri
mary law.
Senator Lodge ran into tihe new
independence of the voters in a way
startling to him. Gov. Channing
Cox was re-elected governor by 50,-
000 or more. Lodge barely got
through. In the old days, Lodge
nearly always led the ticlet. But
this year the voters made up their
own tickets, and didn't just put a
cross under the party emblems, ac
cepting the selections of the party
leaders.
In Indiana, the alibi which Harry
New and A. J- Beveridge can offer
Is that "somebody knifed me." In
diana is rapidly becoming an un
pleasant state for a politician to in
habit New was "knifed" by one
set in the primaries and now Bev
eridge's friends charge that NeVs
supporters "knifed" Beveridge in the
election. And both sets of knife
wielders are getting ready $o use

he comes up for re-election
In Michigan. Townsend lost be

His
ifriends (blame Henry Ford- In New
Jersey. Frelinghuysen's dry record

In Kansas, J. M. Davis, Democrat,
beat W. Y. Morgan, Republican, for
governor because of Hfcnrv Allen,
(the present governor. Allen's in

many1"'citizens,
including roganized

N*rly everywhere the same thing
was trueit was men and not great
national issues which made up the
voters' minds.

SCHOOL PUPILS DRINK
MILK DURING RECESS
(Continued from page 1)
with a straw at 10 o'clock and 2
o'clock recesses. Many of the child
ren who do not drmk milk at home
are doing so at school with the rest
of the children. Most children are
accustomed to lunching at home in
the forenoon and afternoon and the
teachers find that nourishment in
the mid-forenoon and afternoon
stimulates the work of the pupils.
This of course, is one object of the
plan being carried out by the club.
At the North and East schools, the
teachers are to serve the milk, twice
ch dny, while at the Lincoln and
Central schools, members of the club
have been appointed for the work
A* the Central school the following
iclub members are to serve as fol
lows: Monday. Mrs. A. P. White
Tuesday. Mrs G- M. Torrance Wed
iasday, Mrs. F. S- Arnold Thursday,
iu.r w. A nuliman Friday, Mrs.
W. L. Brooks Mrs. E. A. Barker
and Mrs. E. H. Marcum will act as
substitutes in case any of the other
ladies are unable to do this work on
their specified day.
At the Lincoln school the follow
ing are to serve: Monday, Mrs.
George Bridgeman Tuesday, Mrs.
Trimble Wednesday, Elizabeth M
Jones Thursday, Mrs. Nelson Fri
day, Mrs- Sanders. Mrs- Harry
.Bridgeman and Mrs. Jack Stiles will
act as substitutes for this school.
The dance given at the armory
lats Friday evening assisted in pro
viding funds for this work. The
dance was attended by about the
the same number of people as that
gven by the club two years ago,
but on this occasion, the admission
price was $1 instead of $2.
The Friday evening dance was at
tended by 136 couples, giving the
club a working fund for this new
plan, which has already been op
erated successfully in other cities,
and also at the Bemidji Teachers
college In two weeks of milk dis
tribution to the pupils, all but one
of them showed an increase in weight
from one to six pounds, and at the
same time an improvement in their
work
FARM BUILDINGS NEED CARE
[Good Paint Will Lengthen Years of
Frame StructuresNourishment
Is Essential.
Farmers have for years wrestled
with and solved more or less satl*
ifactorily the various feed problems
[presented by their occupation. Th?
'have had to deal with the question
'of the balanced ration in hog feed,
[dairy cow feed, horse feed, chickert
'feed and even plant food.
And now appears on the farmer's
ihorixon a scientist who tells him that
[even his buildings must be nourished*
that a house, barn, or outbuilding
[that Is kept painted with good paint
will last over a hundred years where
as, an unpainted one will fall to pieces
'in ten years that a neglected bulUl
lng dies just as surely as a horse of
'cow that has nothing to eat
The argument is logical from &
scientific standpoint, and it behoove!
'farmers to attend to the proper nour
ishment of their buildings, for we all
know that the cost of rebuilding and
of repairs is almost prohibitive now
adays.
HOGS WILl^ EAT ALFALFA HftY
daveral Experiment Stations K*v
Tested It and Found It to Bs
Most Excellent Feed.
Hogs will eat a limited amount of al
fnlfa hay after becoming used to it
Several state agricultural experiment
stations have tested this out. In al
most every case the addition or alfalfa
to grain ration reduced the cost of
gains and improved the condition of
tlte hogs. At one station the best ra
tion found for fattening hogs was
corn and alfalfa in the rutlo of nine
to one. Alfalfa is an Ideal feed for
brood sows, and there is less trouble
with hog diseases when it Is fed lib
erally.

CHAPTER XII
The Crater of Hell.
Presently Gale, upon turning a sharp
corner, was utterly amazed to see that
the split In the lava sloped out and
widened into an arroyo. It was so
green and soft and beautiful in all
the angry, contorted red, surrounding
that Gale could scarcely credit his
j&Jght. Blanco Sol whistled his wel
come to 'the scent of water. Then
Gale saw a great hole, a pit in the
shiny lava, a dark, cool, shady well.
There was evidence of the fact that
at flood seasons water had an outlet
into the arroyo. The soil appeared to
be a fine sand, in which a reddish
tinge predominated and It was abund
antly covered with a long grass, still
partly green. Mesquites and palo
verdes dotted the arroyo and gradu
ally closed in thickets that obstructed
the view.
"Shore it all beats toe," exclaimed
Ladd. "What a place to hole-up in!
We could have hid here for a long
time.. Beldin' was shore right about
the Indian. An' I can see Rojas*
finish somewhere up along that awful
hell-hole."
Camp was made on a level spot.
Yaqui took the horses to water, and
then'turned them loose in the arroyo.
It was a tired and somber group that
sat down to eat Mercedes was calm,
but her great dark eyes burned in her
white face. Yaqui watched her. The
others looked at her with unspoken
pride. Presently Thome wrapped her
in his blankets, and she seemed to fall
asleep at once.
little of Taqui's purpose pi
could be elicited from him. i
rangers and Thome, however. talUe
In low tones. It was absolutely iui
possible for Bojas and ids men
reach the waterhole before noon of
the next day. And long before thai
time the fugitives would have decided
on a plan of defense.
"What stuns me is that Bojas stuck
to our trail,'* said Thome, his lined
and haggard face expressive of dark
passion. "He has followed us into
this fearful desert. He'll lose men,
horses, perhaps his life. He's only a
bandit, and he stands to win no gold.
All for a poor little helpless woman
just a woman I I can't understand it."
"Shorejust a woman," replied
Ladd, solemnly nodding his head.
Then there was a long silence, dur
ing which the men gazed into the fire.
Those were cold, hard, grim faces
upon which the light flickered.
"Sleep," said Yaqui.
Thome rolled in his blanket close
beside Mercedes. Then one by one
the rangers stretched out, feet to the
fire. Gale found that he could not
sleep. His eyes were weary, but they
would not stay shut his body ached
for rest, yet he could not lie still.
The Yaqui sat like an image carved
out of lava. The others lay prone and
quiet Would another night see any
of them lie that way, quiet forever?
Gale sat up after a while and again
watched the fire. {Jell's sweet face
floated like a wraith in the pale
smoke glowed and flushed and
smiled In the embers. Other faces
shone therehis sister'sthat of his
mother. Gale shook off the tender
memories. This desolate wilderness
with its forbidding silence and its
dark promise of hell on the morrow
this was not the place to unnerve one
self with thoughts of love and home.
Toward dawn Gale managed to get
some sleep. Then the morning broke
with the sun hidden back of the uplift
of the plateau. The horses trooped
up the arroyo and snorted for water.
After a hurried breakfast the packs
were hidden in holes In the lava. The
saddles were left whee they were,
and the horses allowed to graze and
wander at will. Canteens were filled,
a small bag of food was packed, and
blankets made into a bundle. Then
Yaqui faced the steep ascent of the
lava slope.
The trail he followed led up on the
right side of the fissure, opposite to
the one he hod come down. It was a
steep climb, and encumbered as the
men were they made but slow prog
ress. At length the rims widened out
and the red, smoky crater yawned be
neath. Yaqui left the trail and began
clambering down over the rough and
twisted convolutions of lava which
formed the rim. It was with extreme
difficulty that the party followed him.
The choya was there to hinder pas
sage. Finally the Indian baited upon
a narrow bench of flat, smooth lava,
and his followers worked with exceed
ing care and effort down to his posi
tion.
At the back of this bench, between
bunches of choya, was a uiche, a shal
low cave with floor lined apparently
with mold. Yaqui spread blankets
inside, left the canteen and the sack
of food, and with a gesture, at once
humble. xa% l s? o? a chifjL. hg_in-

vited Mercedes to enter. A few more
gestures and fewer words disclosed
his plan. In this inaccessible nook
Mercedes was to be hidden. The men
were to go around upon the opposite
rim, and block the trail leading down
to the waterhole.
Ladd chose the smallest gun in the
party and gave it to Mercedes.
"'Shore it's best to go the limit on
bein* ready," he said, simply. "The
chances are you'll never need It. But
if you do"
He left off there, and his break was
significant. Mercedes answered him
with a fearless and Indomitable flash
of eyes. Thome was the only one who
showed any shaken serve. His leave
taking of his wife was affecting and
hurried. Then he and the rangers
carefully stepped in the tracks of the
Yaqui. He strode on up the trail
toward a higher point, where pres
ently his dark figure stood motionless
against the sky. The rangers and
Thome selected a deep depression, out
of which led several ruts deep enough
for cover. Here the men laid down
rifles and guns, and, removing their
heavy cartridge belts, settled down
tp wait.
Jim Lash crawled into a little strip
of shade and bided the time tranquilly
Ladd was restless and impatient and
watchful, every little while rising to
look up the far-reaching slope, and
then to the right, where Yaqul's dart
figure stood out from a high point of
the rim. Thome grew silent, anr1
seemed consumed by a slow, suller
rage. Gale was neither calm nor fret1
of a gnawing suspense nor of a wait
ing wrath. But as best he could
put the pending action out of mind.
It came over him all of a sudder
that he had not grasped the stupen
dous nature of this desert setting
There was the-measureless red slope
its lower ridges finally sinking into
white sand dunes toward the blue sea
The cold, sparkling light, the white
sun, the deep azure of sky, the feelinj
of boundless expanse all around hln
these meant high altitude. South
ward the barren red simply merged
Into distance. The field of crater*
rose in high, dark wheels toward thr
dominating peaks. When Gale with
drew his gaze from the magnitude of
these spaces and heights the crater
beneath him seemed dwarfed. Yet
while he gazed it spread and deep
ened and multiplied Its ragged lines
No, he could not grasp the meanln?
of size or distance here. There war
too much to stun the sight. But th
mood in which nataure had create^
this convulsed world seized hold upor
him.
