Olives are likely to pass from n
high-priced delicacy to a common
and low-priced food product. The
olive crop of California is large and
the price of the olives has dropped
from $40 per ton to $40. The lady
who serves six course supper at
some feminine function will have to
substantiate something for the olive
and wafer which so often makes one
of the courses.

We once knew a very ignorant ant

We once knew very ignorant and
very successful man as the
world rates success. He was
a farmer. He could neither read
nor write, but in some way he had
developed sixth sense, so that in all
financial transactions no man could
better figure interest or profit and
loss than he. His hobby was to
dress just as poor as he could, work
hard, go barefooted, save all his
money and buy land. He raked
$4,000 together before he quit; pre-
sent address unknown.

1t seems like piece of foolishness
to make the statement that any per-

Speltz, or more properly speaking,
emmer, a European cereal but little
known in this country, is being
doomed by some of the northwestern
papers. The merit of this plant seems
to lie in connection with the semi
arid belt, as it can stand heat and
dry weather better than any of our
common cereals. Like bronze grass,
there is no place for it where corn
oats and barley will do well.

in that dollar and half per cwt.,
which represents the difference be-
tween the best beef and that not
