FARMERS INSTITUTE.

The date for holding the farm
er's institute in Yerington has
finally been set for the 18th of
March, two weeks from today.
The inititute will be held in the
Owl Hall, and Prof. N. E. Wilson
and others of the University Elk
pertinent Station will address the
people of this section on questions
of importance to farmers. These
gentlemen do not come to tell
farmers how to farm exactly, but
to tell them what they have
learned by experiments in the
way of raising certain crops on
CERTAIN lands, the value of fertili-
zers, ETC., and also the way to
handle diseases of horses, cows
and pigs. They make study of
these things and it may be that
our farmers can pick up a few
points that will be of valve to
them. There will be no charge
for admission to the hall that
evening, and all who can possibly
come to town should attend. Do
not forget the date-March 18th.

The ThOrnless Cactus.

Luther Burbank considers his
thornless cactus one of his greatest
SUCCESSES, because it means the rec
lamation of the desert. Its leaves
are more nutritious than beets and
it will produce the most food during
the period when the desert is com
pletely bare of other vegetation. Ii
has taken Mr.. Burbank ten years to
envolve this cactus, and now by a
series of crossings and recrossings
of different varieties from different
parts of the globe he is aiming to
make the plant harder and produce
more fruit and leaves. The leaves
when rubbed over ones face are
found to be as soft as silk.-Sunset

Truly it is beginning to look
bad for the Standard Oil Trust.
Kansas has passed law to erect
a State refinery and handle its
own oil business. Several other
States are contemplating the same
move. This will be the greatest
blow the great trust has ever re-
ceived. President Roosevelt is
going to curb the railroad trust il
he possibly can, and he can if
given'the support of the people.
The day of the great trusts is
evidently drawing to a close, and

GOVERNOR SPARKS has vetoed
the measure to erect a Governor S
mansion in Carson. We believe
this to be wise move. 1t would
be nice thing to have a fine
gubernatorial home in Carson, but
one that would be a credit could
not be built for $4,000 the
amount it was proposed to appro-
pirate. Besides, the State needs
other things just now more than
it does mansion for the Govern

number OF illitcratcs per 900 is 10 for the ma

llllteracy is found to be greater in the country

among the children OF native-born parents than

For Japanese Exclusion

The California Senators and Representatives
have agreed on bill providing for the excu-
sion OF Japanese and Koreans from the United
States 1t is proposed by the measure to ex-
tend to those people all OF the laws now in force
in the United States and its territories cxcud-
ing Chinese laborers. The statement is made
that there are hO,CCO Japanese in California and
nearly 100000 in the entire country, Also that
during the last year more than 5000 Japanese
came here from the Hawaiian Islands,
1t is the understanding that the government
OF Japan is not avcrsc to an arrangement for
the exclusion OF Japanese laborcrs from this
country, but it can be confidently predicted that
it would not tamcly submit to having the mer-
chants, travellers and students OF Japan subjected
to such treatment as those classes from China
have had to submit to up to the present time
that President Roosevelt directed the immigra-
ton authorities to modify their methods in re-
gard to Chinese coming to the United States.
Japan will have Use for all her working people
and undoubtedly will earnestly endcavor to keep
them at home, SO that perhaps she will not OBJ
ject to any legislation by this country that will
aid her in doing this.

Shorter Hours And Better Paw

The resolutions adopted by the National
Grange at Atlantic City to the effect that 1T is
every man privilege to work as many hours as
he will for pay is excellent as a general pro-
position. The liberty of the individual reason
ably exercised should not be abridged. But
compulsion is not liberty, and it is only by COM
pulSiOn that labor is obliged to work longer
hours than it ought to work The trades occu-
pations are organized to secure better wages
and reduced hours of labor. They seek the well
fare OF all their members, including the few who
might be inclined to work longer hours for the
sake OF the increased income The rules they
adopt as to hours of work must necessarily ap-
ply to all members. These rules are for the
common protection, and they insure to the we'll
being of all. Abolish them, destroy the COM
mon protection, and selfish commercialism will
soon compel labor to work all its waking hours.
Better that one workman should be restricted
in an unwholesome desire to work 10 or IL
hours day than that thousand worklnen
should be compelled to do that much daily labor.
