When the trees in his orchard at
Fresno, Cal, are getting cold feet or
chilled limbs, they call Mr.. ]. P. Boil
ton up on the phone, so to speak, and
tell him to get up and put hot wa
ter bottle or a blanket on them.
Mr.. Bolton has had great trouble
with his orchards on the slopes of
California mountains, where sudden
frosts killed the buds at night.
But necessity proved the mother of
an invention, which, though it keeps
him awake cold nights, gives him
care-free sleep between whites.
In every row there is a tree fitted
out with a thermometer and wires
connecting with an electric bell and
dial board in his bedroom.
Whenever the temperature is too
low for the comfort of the young buds,
in any row, the monitor tree" with
the thermometer registers a noisy
kick in Mr.. Bottoms bedroom and
keeps it up until measures ave been
taken to warm the trees up.
The method is not to administer
whisky or chafe the limbs, but to
spread rolls of cloth about the trees,
squirt warm water on them and leave
tubs of water about. These, by freez-
ing, use up the action of the cold in
the atmosphere.

MOST DESPERATE ASSAULT
PORT ARTHUR is DEFIANT

ed city offered by the Japanese. In
the trenches and in the gun pits they
are fighting side by side with Gen
eral Stoessel's Soldiers.
The fury of the Japanese attack
cannot be imagined. Passengers on
vessels which passed close to Port Ar
/ thur yesterday evening declare that
the air is black with the rain of
shells poured into the fortress.
The devastation wrought by the
bombardment is appalling. Inside the
harbor the sea is like a caldron of
boiling water. Shells fall like hail
among the shipping and many of the
vessels in the harbor are afire. The
entire city is deserted. The inhabit-
ants are either fighting in the trench
es, or have sought what protection is
afforded by the bomb proof caves dug
in the sides of the hills.
The reply of the Russian guns to
the Japanese fire is strikingly weak,
but the Japanese losses have already
been heavy. Many of the huge bat
teries on the hillside are silent, their
guns shattered by the Japanese fire
and their gun crews slain. The Red
Cross flag offers no protection to the
hospital which is crowded with the
wounded and dying.

and on the kind of wheat from which
It is made. Flour made from hard
spring wheat will give from twenty
to forty more loaves of bread per bar
rel than that made from the softer
winter wheat. 1t contains a larger
percentage of gluten and absorbs
more water. The mills are exceeding

is one Of the most important
branches.
After the flour is ground comes the
crucial test. A sample is taken and
made up into bread. We have four
bakings day. and from twenty to
thirty loaves are baked each time,
each one representing a sample of
flour. After the test has been made
the bread is turned over to the Asso-

Someone has to be the victim-some poor
sinner must atone;
It's an old and truthful saying-printed

They who dance must pay the fiddler;
it's the ethics of the game.
In this world where Folly's minions are
SO largely in excess,
Many a fiddler gets his money, quiet

And the world is none the wiser-not a
chance is left for shame
To the man whose purse is equal to the
limit of the game.
But, alas. for those who falter, those
who hesitate to pay
For the music and the dancing through
