WON'T some public spirited cili-
Zen, who has money, establish a
cheese factory in Los Angeles
county? 1t is an undoubted fact
that this county can he converted,
almost III year, into one of the
best dairy sections in the United
States Even at the start the fac
tory could be kept employed. 1t
would surprise our people to learn
the extent to which the breed of
our cows has been advanced in the
last three or four years, and the de
gree to which the cultivation of
alfalfa has progressed. There is an
opening here for such factory on
legitimate business principles, and
It's establishment would be a great
stimulus to All interest which of
late years has proved the chief
source Of the wealth of central New
York. OF the Western Reserve of
Ohio aud other prosperous sections.

A GOOD deal OF attention is being
given by our pomOlogists to the
cultivation of lemons. Of late.
Good lemons are always in demand
at remunerative prices. We have
bsen assured, by gentlemen who
know whereof they speak, that,
profitable as all orange orchard un-
doubtedly il, there is more net
money in growing lemons. Those
planting orchards should have
special regard to quality. Unfor-
tunately very inferior lemons, with
rind so bitter as to make them
comparatively worthless, have been
largely planted in Southern Cali
foruia. This evil is now being REM
edied. The lemon has the advan-
tage over the orange of beginning
to bear when the trees are two years
old. After that age they become
quite remunerative. Another
point in their favor is that they
bear all the year round, the ripe
and the partially formed lemons
being on the tree at the same time
as the bud and blossom.

THE people of Los Angeles have
had plentiful reason to curse the
laws delays. 1t is uow about three
years since the Tarbox distiliery
was seized. This distillery, while
running, was great boon TO our
vineyardists, affording them re
liable market for their grapes.
Since it has passed into the hands
Of the United States officers it has
been of absolutely no use to this
community, aud one of our leading
interests has been paralyzed.
Grapes which would make as good
an article of brandy as any in
France have been sold often lower
than half u cent a pound. In cases
where heavy damage is worked to
O whole community there ought TO
be some machinery of the law pro-
vided for instant dispatch. Our
people have been encouraged sew
eral times by the aunouncem ent
that the Tarbox case had been
finally disposed Of, but each time
the news proved unreliable. What
is the difficulty?

The American Mandarin.

Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer.l
Tn the year 1917, at Alexandria,
Hunting on county, Pennsylvania,
lived Nicodemus Yocum, by trade
blacksmith. His wife. whose
maiden name was Nancy Brown,
had, before marriage, emigrated
with her parents from Cape Cod,
Massachusetts,. While living at
Alexandria they had three chil.
dren. The eldest, in 1878, was
named for his father. About 1926
Mr.. Yocnm emigrated with his
wife's people back to Cape Cod.
Here N codemus, the younger, had
grown into manhood, aud IN the
course OF time uecame captain of
whaling vessel, which cruised for
years with varying success in the
North Pacific Ocean. When an u
home-bouud voyage In 1911, off the
southern coast of China, he rescued
"a disabled junk, containing, he
sides the sailors, five mandarins of
high rank. The helpless vessel was
towed into the harbor of Yungao
In the Province Quangtung, where
Captain Yocum and his American
crew were loaded with presents.
Que of the Mandrins could speak
French, having learned it from u
missionary on the Island of Pes
cadore. Several OF the American
sailors understood the same Ian.
guuge, aud u happy conversation
was engaged in. In due time The
whale ship returned to Cape Cod,
where Captain Yocum found thai
his wife was dead, leaving two
year old son named jeremiah. One |
year afterward Captain Yocum
sailed for the China Sea. Entering
the mouth of the river Po Kiang,
messages were sent to the rescued |
of two years before, ana
the Yankee ship was permitted to
go into the harbor. In return for
his fathers Kindness, Jeremiah was
sent to the Royal Preparatory
School, and at the age of seventeen
entered the Imperial College. Hers

nothing of the progress of the

should be confined to mental labor more
than six hours day.
} A very common fault found with our
country teachers is, "they keep school too
late. My children don't get home till
dark"
Did you ever think of the difficulties
under which teacher labors? He must
attend an examination once every year.
If he lives any great distance from lac
county seat he must spend one day IN
going, one day 10 the examination, and
one day in returning home. Alter he
has his certificate flor which he must pay
one dollar) he must contract with the
trustees, ride, perhaps, ten or hrteen
miles TO get the signature OF
the President OF the Board, and
then FIJI his contract with the clerk OF
the Board; this takes one day more.
During his term of tour months schoo, ne
must attend the Institute. If this be held
at the county seat, he must spend one
day in going, eight days in actual at.
tendance during which time he must
put up at the hotel), and one day In re-
turning. These IA days OF outside labor,
II Sundays, II Saturdays, 3 holidays,
and the II days Of actual teaching, make
a total Of l2j days; but In the four
months, beginning with November we
have but l20 days, hence he cannot NIL
his contract in tour calendar months.
But for all his idle time he must pay the
same board and washing that he does
while employed.
After completing his school and filing
out his daily, weekly, monthly and term
reports, be must get an order from the
trustees, present this to the clerk and get
new one; to this he must have the
signature of the President OF the Board,
and then go to the county seat to see the
Sheriff before he can draw his money.
In our State We have but four months
school. The average salary Of good
teacher will not exceed $50 per month.
This gives him $40 per year. HIS
boarding will cost him $3.50 per week
and there being fifty-two weeks In year
mis- bill is $3.50 Decent clothing will!
cost him III least $50 per year; and to say
nothing OF spending money and books,
periodicals and papers, which every i've
teacher must have, he will be $50 in debt,
This he must pay oy seeking some man
usl labor while not engaged IN teaching
Now, gentlemen, after thoughtiuily con-
sidering all the financial advantages, the
blessings (?) you would receive IRON the
parents OF INDUCED children and the
many idle days the law allows teacher;
il you think teaching pays better than
"butchering," l would suggest that you

I" Teachers and InsiItutes'-The 9th
err side of the Question.

PEASANTS Co, w. Va, Jan. II.
Correspondence of the Register.
We notice, in the Tri Weekly REGIS
TER of January 9th, an article on the
above subject, ia which gentleman from
Richie county attempts 10 estimate the
amount of money the people have been
10 sislsted out OF for the special benefit Of
the teacher.
After deducting the days the teacher
il required TO, attend the Institute, and
holidays, Sundays and Saturdays, 1t is
stated that the teacher labOrs but 1871
days, of six hours, tor each month, while
the farmer lsbors 70 days, of ten or
twelve hours each, for 3 month. and a,
the same time receives less pay than the
teacher.
This article conveys the idea that sll
this law has been made tor the special
benefit OF the teacher, but is this true?
The Legislature has prohibited the
teacher from laboring on Saturdays and
holidays, and the Divine law torbids aim
to labor on Sabbath day. After deduct
ing all the days upon which the law
saws. Thou shalt not labor" we nave
but 257 days remaining in the year.
If a teacher contract for IL months
school, he is required to labor ~ times
~, minus the four holidays; but he has
but 257 days in which to do this, hence
he cannot make II months in yesr.
Is there any justice in lsw that will
prevent man from lsooriag, and at the
same time refuse 10 pay him for tins lest
timer Yet many favor just such law.
Who has asked for the Saturdays and
holidays2 Was it the teachers or the
parents who want the services of their
children one day each week.
The teacher does not begin his labor
till 8 O'Clock, because the children must
do their chores before coming to school,
and even at o'clock many are tsrdy
The teacher closes his lsbors at 1 o'clock
because the children must get home be-
fore night. More than this, no child
