chards are growing into prominence.

ties for raising them, and then to have a
prominent journal like the one mentioned
belirtIeus in this respect, if oaly IN a mega

more too Some day this will be the big-
gcst prune country in the world, or we
guess incorrectly.

these harvest days under any circumstances
Several have been around begging, and, in
stead of being fed, should bo kicked into th.
street. Sympathy is all right in its place
bat the able bodied man Is not entitled Il

hands and the harvest field is good enough
place for any body. All great men have beer
there sometime. Why not the autocrats d
