Our reporter noticed that a carload of vehicles had been shipped in here and were being peddled out to the ranchers. We inquired of our dealers if this could be done as cheaply as they could sell the same class of ve- hicles and were assured that it could not, and if any rancher would stop to figure q little he would see that he is paying from 25 to % per cent more for these vehicles than he would have to pay to the local dealer for the same vehicle. These people pay $1O0 for Ii- censes for each peddler: then they have the expense of team hire. feed bills, help, hotel bills and rent. and these items. without counting salaries. are about S35 per day. and this the pur- chaser always pays. Then he is buy ing from strangers and those who have no interest ln the valley instead of deal ing with those who are trying to up- build the community. These people sol on long time and of necessity their losses from bad debts are great. and these losses are paid by those who settle their notes or buy for cash. It's all figured in the price. We are as sured by our dealers that such wagons as these parties sell -or S175 they will furnish at $125. and buggies for $100 that they sell for $40.
 Everything a local dealer sells is guaranteed and anything that goes wrong he at once makes good. Those from a distance make a similar guar antee. but the purchaser must return the defective part and a new one will be sent. TEis takes time and the use of the vehicle is lost while the parts are in transit.

Why Did They Afiss9

Hunters tales rarely make mention
Of poor shots and failures, and a story
which depicts the remarkable i'll sue
cess of some famous shots in Califor-
mia a few years ago is therefore all the
more interesting. The narrator, Mr..
Frank Marryat. terms the incident the
one marvellous tale in his book, "Moun-
tains and Molehills." In former times
it would have passed for a miracle.
Three of us were out at midday in
search of venison in the Santa Rosa
valley. The sky was cloudless and the
sun blazing hot. Making for a shady
thicket. we Unexpectedly started doe
in the long grass. She was out of
range before we could raise a gun, but
there still remained n fawn. The pref
ty innocent stood perfectly still, gazing
at us. Our 1arder was bare, and we
could not afford to be merciful
The fawn stood motionless as / adj
vanced n few PAGES and took, as fan
cied. deadly aim I missed. and still it
did not move. The others fired end
missed also.
From the same distance, about T5
yards, we fired each four bullets with
out success. Still the fawn moved but
was exhausted.
! then crept up to the fawn and with
in 20 PAGES fired twice ut 1t with my
pistol Then, unframed, It quietly
walked away i'm search of its mother.
We looked at each other in surprise.
Fourteen shots within 30 PAGES of a
motionless deeri "Well, I'll be hang
cdr was one mans comment. "Crack
shots!'
We could not explain it. Mess the
rarefaction of the air had made the
deer seem nearer than it was.

To Raise Palm. From Seeds.

To start palm seeds is an easy mat
ter. Place half a dozen seeds in a six
inch pot, covering them SO they will be
about two inches below the surface.
They should then be well watered, and
the soil should be kept fairly moist con-
tinually until the little seedlings push
their way up. The soil should never be
allowed to dry out. nor should 1t be
kept soggy. Another good plan is to
place all the seeds in a box of moist
sand and examine them every few
days. Those that burst and begin to
sprout may be planted in fiat boxes two
or three inches apart In a good, rich.
sandy soil. or they may be ported if
well started in small pots.
It should be borne in mind that the
embryo, or seed, leaves of palms are
usually entirely different in form from
the true, or character. leaves which
come later. In the embryo leaves the
form is long and narrow. swordlike and
usually with no divisions.-Robert r.
McGregor in Woman's Home Compan-
ion.

An Old Custom.

Why is it the duty of the bride to cut
the wedding cake? The fact is-at
least SO a professor told me the other
day-that the Romans are at the bot
tom Of it The original Roman mar
rage was effected by the simple proc
ess of the bride and bridegroom break
Ing cake of bread and eating 1t to-
gether. This developed into the bride
cake, and the bride cut it because it
was the duty of the woman to prepare
food for the man. Young brides of to-
day who think it the height of i'll luck
not to cut their own wedding cake are
probably not in the least aware of
what they are symbolically pledging
themselves to. but they had better bear
in mind that If they wish to keep a
man in good temper they must not
forget to feed him.
