Charles Sohy who“w .present differed with them. AsIa boy on the farm he had “The frost on the pumpkin and the corn inI the shock, " and was tisiled that he had had suf- ficient exp rience to be an authority on the subject. in his opinion a pump kin should be of aldermanic propor- tions with a deep and broad stem dimple in Ihe .top so that it could in an emerge!

A membIIr of the largest and best- known family on earth claims to have redcbed tho greatest distinction that any man mav hope to on this earth. He is 55 Years of age and lives in Switzerland. Being a SWISS be quite naturally spells his name Johann Schmid. WI) en he was in his teens his father di find it him a small piece of land In“ ucome of about $5 a week. He uilt a. little cottage on his land and he. liyed there ever since.

The companys intention was definite Its officials had been infoImed by .I geologist of the United sums geologi; cal survey that a good supply of water would be found running in a certain stratum of rock that lay at a depth of about 3,000 feet. This geologist had made a. study of the surface outcrops of rock of the region and had based his prediction on that study. And, having faith in the prophecy, the company determined to drill to that depth. it was not necessarv. however, to bore quite 3,000 feet. When the drilI had gone down 2, 980 feet water gushed out at the rate of 350 gallons a minute. Faith reposcd in the Judgment of the geologist was instilled. This water supply fills a need which is so urgent that if anything should happen to destrOy this well the rail road company .would not hesitate to bore its counterpart. That appeal should be made to the science of geology to state positively the occurrence, location and character and from a stuhy of only the surface formations to designate a water-bear. ing stratum at a depth so great as his well was driyen, seems incredible to the lay mind, but such determinations are common. Extensive areas have been thus mapped underground by the mlogical survey. and the maps have been accompanied by descriptions or the character and age of the different rock and earth strata so definite that it would seem as if the regions so sur veyed must have been sampled with a core drill at frequent intervals. The great Dakota arteslnn basin. which extends over an enormius area, has been accurately mapped. as have also many smaller but hardly less im- portant bdlins. Water is the moat useful and neces- sary mineral resource. Unlike most of the others. it. in renewable and can be utilized over an over again by man, so long as the enomena of evapon- tion and precipitation continue. this does not mean that the conserva- tism of the resource is not necessary River supplies can be largely dimin- ished through the destruction of the sources by forest denudation and oth erwise. and artesian basins are also exhausted or seriously fainted through wasteful misuse.
