ADVANCE GUARD GOING TO

*— 4
-NEW YORK, N. Y.—William D.
Scott, modern Moses, has just led a
number of followers out of the captiv
ity of New York toward the prom
ised land of Idaho in twenty-eight mo
tor cars, each with a folding bungalow
trailer.
They are the advance guard of 128
families, all city dwellers, who are
“fed up” on brick walls, asphalt
streets, subway smells, crashing ele
vated trains and all the rest of metro
politan perquisites. And their promis
ed land is a new state-supervised ir
rigation project in Twin Falls county,
Idaho.
The forty-acre tracts, which will be
taken by the trekkers, were alloted
recently in a drawing held at Scott’s
home in Brooklyn. On these irrigated
tracts these fleeing city dwellers hope
to win new happiness and prosperity
and enjoy the quiet of the wide Ifiaces.

mountains and not by towering sky

are inexperienced in the role of farm

goal with as much eagerness and «n

ham Young when they set out to cross
the “Great American Desert” long
years ago.
All Land Irrigated.
The land, they know, will be rich
under irrigation. Other similar projects
in Idaho have proved that. And these
“exiles” will have expert help in plant

getting them to market. The state agri-

The Park of a Thousand Flowers
| WASHINGTON, D. C.—Abund
|ant snows on the higher levels of
|Yosemite National Park have brought
ta bumper crop of flowers this season.
Attention is called to this fact by
the announcement that special provis
jon has been made for the protection
of the lavish display from depreda
tions of the thoughtless visitor.
“Yosemite's topography, with thous
ands of’ A:et difference in altitude in
places within hailing distance of each
other, makes it possible for the visitor
to enjoy flowers of several seasons in
a single visit,” says a bulletin from
the Washington, D. C., headquarters
of the National Geographic Society.
| Climb Spins Floral Calendar.
“Leaving the rich San Joaquin valley
at Merced' for the beautiful trip by
train through the Canyon of the Mer-
Iced river, scarred by the gold diggings
of '49, the traveler turns his floral cal
endar backward with each mile climb
ing into the Sierra Nevada, passing
rapidly from full summer to late spring
at El Portal, where the official gate
way to Yosemite National Park is lo
cated. A few miles farther, at the
Gates of the 'Valley—that famous spot
where El Capitan stands on the left,
Three Graces and Bridalveil falls on
the right, with a vista of Yosemite
valley between—he finds spring in full
glory.
“And on the same day visitors to
Glacier Point, ‘just upstairs’ from
Yosemite ' valley, on the rim of the
granite Wwall enclosing the valley and
3,254 feet’'higher, will be out skiing
and tobogganing on four feet of snow.
“By the time summer gets to Yose
mite va’nf‘f‘v it is springtime at Glacier
Point dhd when summer gets to the
point the ‘Sierra is enjoying the brief
season 'which passes there for both
spring anhd siimmer, and Yosemite val

Snowplant Is a Park Wonder.
“Most: ‘interesting of all plants -to
the wvisiter is the snowplant—and no
othéntis so jealously guarded by the
park authorities, When word of a new
stalic lis received a sign is dispatched
hastily iand erected near it—hands off!
In -its- early stages the snowplant is
‘more ‘like a scarlet asparagus tip than
anything else. As it matures the leaves
near' the upper end unfold and reveal
bells- much like those of a hyacinth.
The name snowplant is misleading, ac
cording to such a high authority as
Jepsomyowho says the plant has noth
ing to .do with snow, and that the name
probably originated because it appears
early in spring and is likely to be
caught in alate flurry, which makes
the richness:ofqits coloring all the more
conspicuous, ‘causing the uninformed
to think that the plant pushed its way
through .the new snow.
“Contrary«to the common assump
tion the snowplant is not a parasite,
but livés on decaying vegetable matter
absorbed - through intricately laced
white fibers which serve the plant in
place of roots. It is unique in that the
food absorbed is at once transmuted
into the scarlet stalk and leaves, dif
fering from _other plants which are
veritable chemical laboratories, de
manding chlorophyl to assist. them
in digesting their daily meal.
| Bloom as Ice Melts.
~ “There probably are more than
1,000 different species of flowering
plants, shrubs and trees in Yosemite.
iSome of them, like the marsh butter
cup, seem to bud beneath the snow
and then burst into bloom as soon as
the icy covering melts. On the high
levels of the park a thin patch of
snow will disappear under the influ
ence of a hot sun and the patient bot
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
SoNaturally that No
~body can tell.
Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
liteless,fi'eaused by a lack of sulphur
in the ir; Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bettle of “Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound,” which dark
ens the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody;{¢an possibly tell it has
been applied.” You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through ‘your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. By morning
the gray -hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth’'s Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is-a delightful tollet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap
pearance to the hair. It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre
vention of disease.
THIRD DISTRICT MEMBER I 8
VOTED DOWN IN EFFORT TO
| PUT IT ON FREE LIST.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—This re
publican congress has decided that it
is better that the farmers of the south
should pay $5OO per ton for potash
§pro_duced in Nebraska and California,
rather than French or German potash
%at $75 to $B5 per ton. And whether
you get the point of view depends on
‘whether you are a farmer or a potash
}magnate.
‘ Before the war imported potash
scooped out of the ground in Germany
and Alsace-Lorraine, now belonging to
France, was laid down in New York
at $75 per ton of pure potash. When
the war cut off importations a iew
Americans began producing it by a
chemical process from alkali lakes in
the west, and with competition safely
cut off they held up the truck, cotton
anist in a few hours can see the but
tercups unfolding into full blossom.
This undoubtedly is due to environ
ment, nature having taught the flow
ers of the high altitudes to adapt them
selves to the brief season of warmth.
“Indian paintbrush, thick clusters of
pink bells on the manzanita, wild lilac,
azaleas along the river bank, dogwood,
lavender shooting stars and many oth
ers appear in early spring. In June
comes the gorgeous Mariposa lily, va
rying in color from a white to a deep
red and resembling a cultivated tulip,
Then there is the Washington lily,
throwing its large white blooms high
above the chaparral. Lupines reach
their prime in August—there are so
many different kinds in Yosemite that
some of them never have been classi
fied. You can see them in acre
stretches in the meadows, looking like
miniature forests, topped by brilliant
petals. The firewood also grows in: lux
uriance. :
“Monkey Flower” and “Elephant
Head.” :
“Comparatively rare among the flow
ers of Yosemite, and as beautiful as
any orchid is the -mentzelia, or blazing
star, yellow petals, orange center, with
a fringe of long stamens, giving it an
exotic appearance. Curiosities among
the park’s flowers are the yellow
monkey flower and purple elephant
head, the former taking its name from
the plaintive and humorous little face
out line on it, while the latter sug-|
gests the flapping ears and long trunk
of an elephant.
“Another interesting plant is the
quinine bush, the bitter leaf of which
is used by the Indians as medicine.”

THE LUXURY LIST OF
GERMANY IS INCREASED
Bath Tubs and Coffins Are Now Be
ing Taxed. Long Skirts Also.
BERLIN.—What is a luxury? As
reparations of billions begin to sap
Germany’s resources the nation’s po
tentialities for taxation increase and
new items ar¢ added to the list of lux
uries. The government has decreed
that bath tubs and coffins are luxuries.
However, pine board coffins are iree of
taxes, but whenever metal handles are
added a tax is collected. Curtain rods
are taxable only when they are polish
ed. Crucifixes and luxuries are tax
able unless the crosses are made of
wood or glass.
The government put a premium on
short skirts because taxes are enforc
ed when they are long or wide. Like
wise night gowns that are too ample
are taxable, while persons who are con
tent to wear them up to their knees
do not have to pay any.
and mm wers for i!m per ton. As
they never produced above 90,000 tons
in a year :I:is shortage aided them in
the hold-up, From that they fell to
30,000 tons. Testimony before the ways

Americans invested 25 millions, -while

harvested 48 millions frém' potash

chemical products sold. Now they

that they may further rob the Ameri

Crisp Makes Reply.
Col. Myron M. Parker, of Washing
ton, their attorney, testified that 50
millions were invested in the American
works, but Judge Charles R. Crisp, of
'Gcorgia, member of the ways and
means committee, showed that half of
this capital was in cement, sugar and
molasses plants which happened to
produce a very small amount of potash
as a by-product. Judge Crisp came to
the house of representatives from a
sick bed to make a fight against this
iniquity perpetrated under the guise of
furnishing pap for another infant indus
try already bloated up with the farm
ers’ dollars. He showed, if this tax
were not added, the farmers would be
in position to get potash cheaper than
ever before, as the war had taken about
half of the potash deposits from the
Germans and had placed them in the
hands of their rivals, the French, who
are already shipping potash to New
York and selling it at $B5 despite the
fact that war time prices are not yet
reduced to normal. The competition
thus arising would naturally redound
to the benefit of the consumer were it
not artificially choked by this action
of the republican congress. Judge
Crisp’s eloquent appeal for free pot
ash fell on deaf ears.
