It bad been tlus hottest mid driest
summer ever recorded on I lie Pahvant
plains In western jUtab. More water
| than ever before was needed for the
I Pahvant crops; but/ as the previous
winter had been recorded as having
an extremely Hutu snowfall, the late
summer flow of the Sevier river (pro
nounced ?'aevere") from the enow
stores of lb# Wasatch mountains, was
at a minimum.
therefore In aplte of right water
economy there waa an Insutthieut sup
ply to mature the crops In that re*
glon. Karly In the season . It became
apparent that If some good rains did
| not come at timely Intervals there
J would he widespread devastation of
, the crops; and despite the earnest
hopes of the people, the wludows of
| the sky remained sealed so far as ths
1 rain was concerned, and the brassy
i skies drank up every speck of mols
i ture everywhere, even draining the
I reservoir dry a month before the po
tatoes' aud beeta were matured. The
apples fell to the grouud withered,
and the alfalfa stubble could not send
out the shoots for the thtrd crop of
liay, the drought was so thorough, j
After experts had been consulted
with no good result, an official of the
state farm bureau, with a few other '
citizens, made an Inspiring ride In
automobiles up through a small range
of tmouutalns Into the Sevier valley,
wheVe the crops had not suffered
greatly, owing to the fact that the
farmers In this region held primary
rights to the water of the river. The
modern Paul Reveres, coming to the
rescue of the unfortunate farmers
farther down the stream, appealed to
the Irrigation company otllclats In this
region, and requested the lofl n Of the
river for 24 hours.
They were assured In response that
the Golden Itule reached hot only
across the Revler valley, but ?ui down
to the Pnhvnnt as well, and a ? vote
j taken was unanimous" In favor of clos
! Ing the Spvler valley head gat e? by

ed Pahvant valley many' hours- before
the water, which began to arrive late
the next forenoon. The mammoth
Sevlor river, no longer full and turbu
lent at this .time of the year, but flow
ing abundantly, nevertheless, went
hounding Joyfully down through the
stony ennyons, carrying good tidings
of the genuine friendship ?f the ftevler
valley farmers. r
That afternoon every Pabvaui farm
er was in his fields guiding t lie pre
cious water across the lands, where It
kissed back tnto liveliness and hope
the despondent crops ; and . all that
night and the next day the men la
bored on in gratitude, until the wa
ter began to dwindle, and then finally
ceased. But It was enough; 2,200.acres
of crops worth hundreds of thousands
of dollars, were saved and a comrou

DuMng the war archaeological* ex
cavations were continued at the Ital
Ian colony of Cyrenalea on the North
African oosist , and now comes * the
news that what h?s been found al
ready promises the uncovering of an
other ancient city as Important as
Pompeii. Once upon a time the spot
was a Greek colony, with the civili
sation of Greece transplanted to the
soU of Africa. The work has been
carried on during the war under the
supervision of Lucio Marfan!* director
?f the .archaeological services of the
ministry of colonies, and the predic
tion Is now made that the newly dis
covered city will eventually prove ac
tually richer than Pompeii in^lt* evi?
deuces of a past civilization. Here
bate been already found statues of
the Graces, a Hermes, an Eros, an Al
exander the Great, and' most Impres
sive ef all, the Aphrodite Gyrene,

to be a fair rival In beauty of Venus
