The olive-growers OF California will
probably gather next winter the larg'
est crop ever grown In the Union. Foi
the arst time the production OF this
fruit will be In excess Of the demands
for consumption In California alone
An enormous planting OF olive groves
has been madc In California in the
last few years. It has been reekonec
that 100000 olive trees were set out
In this state last spring alone
Rough estimates put the area oi
bearing olive groves In callfor'
mia at about 5000 acres, while
the total orchard area is about $1,000
This state has practically n monopoly
In growing olives In America. Some
attempts have been made TO grow the
nevadillo blnnco olive In Florida and
Louisiana. but the soil is not adapted
10 the fruit In either Of these states
Some twelve years ago a seycn,y-aert

abandoned when II was found the alt

Another Creamery.

The farmers of this vicinity and Jacks
Valley have come TO the conclusion that
they need creamery and meeting will
be held in Genoa a week from next Sun
day, December llth, at p. NJ, to con
slider the matter. All OF the farmers who
have been seen are in favor OF it and it is
quite probable that creamery will be
established at or near Genoa. The sue
cess of the Douglas creamery on East
Fork has caused the people of this side
of the valley to see the good that would
result il we had creamery here. The
movement is not in opposition to the
Douglas creamery, as the farmers ON this
side of the valley are too far away and
have never patronized that institution.
1t is understood that the new creamery
is TO be built and operated by the farm
ers. thus giving them, as is the case with
the Douglas creamery, all the profits
there is in the business. 1t is a good
scheme and should be carried out. We
shall have more to say about it next
week Courier.

ScaIded to Death.
Little Nora Frantzen Meets
With a Terrible Dea tn.

While preparing some brine for meat.
Mrs. John Frantzen set the boiler-ful
scalding hot outside the door, Wednes-
day evening, when an instant later a
scream from the little two year old
daughter was heard. Springing to the
child's assistance the little one was taken
from theboiling water by the parents.
DIR. Franklin was at once summoned. An
examination showed that the little one
was terribly scalded about the body.
She fingered in dreadful agony until
Thursday evening at quarter past seven
o'clock when death came to her relief
The accident appears all the more
dreadful from the fact that only six
weeks ago, Mr.. Frantzen's little boy was
killed by an accident. The parents are
almost distracted with grief and the
whole of Carson Valley mourns with
them. The funeral which was largely
attended took place Saturday, and dur
ing the service there was scarcely dry
eve.

just engaged a new cook. The addition
TO the servants looked promising as she

"What is your name?" asked Mrs

LAY -ourie, ma'am," said the culi-

"Lay .ouriel" exclaimed the lady of
the house. "What peculiar name |
never heard it before in my life. Is that
y nickname or was it given you when
you were christenedY
"It's my real name" said Lay.
ourie." 1--WE gone by it all my life.
"How in the world did you come to

said "Lay .onrie.
Mrs. Dayton finally asked her te
write it. After much hard work the
owner of the name wrote out IN q

"Well, l don't know about that

What should Women Dor

One of the great London dailies has
opened its columns to letter writers who
feel qualified to answer the question,
Should women work." Another form
of the question is, "Should the wife be
a sweetheart or a companion in toil?"
There have been dozens of letters, and
the conclusion which might be drawn
from all of them is that woman 8
proper place is at the home fireside, but
sometimes she is compelled by stern me-
cessity to become wage Garner. The
present discussion in The Daily Tele-
graph has brought out opinions exactly
similar to those which appeared in The
Record about four years ago, when the
employment Of women as clerks, book
keepers and typewriters was pretty
thoroughly denounced by men who were
out of work or whose pay was SO small
that they could not undertake the finan-
cial responsibility of married life.
The women of London say, as the
women Of Chicago said, 1--WE would
prefer to be housewives. but we are
compelled to be Independent workers. I"
The men say, I'VE would like to
marry, but we dare not do 80 while our
pay is kept down by the close oompeti-
tion for which women are somewhat
to blame. Chicago Record.
