The courts are broadening to the exi-
asneies Of up-,o-date requirements. A
California court has just decided case

ers Of that state to dispose Of their crops
through mutual organization. A woman.
who had signed the agreement, refused to
deliver her produce to the fruitgrowers'
exchange. and attempted 10 sell outside
The organization brought suit b compel
performance Of the contract and the
woman defended on the ground that the
contract was invalid. The court ruled
against her. finding that the exchange
was not . monopoly operating In restraint

to the vine. But say that each
vine produces only one gallon Of
tomatoes, which would be 5000
gallons. Eight gallons make a
bushel, SO we have 400 bushels.
At 221 cents a bushel this would
be 800 worth of tomatoes from one
acre. 1t should be remembered,
too, that there is no fuctuation in
the price, and the last bushel
brings just the same price the first
one does, and that hill land raises
better tomatoes and more of them
to the acre than bottom land.
The farmers at Gassville had
only so acres In tomatoes and we
are told they brought 81, 900, or
an average of $50 per acre, and
this, too, on hill land that is rocky
and not near SO fertile as our hill
aand.

his crop this YEAR,

MalcOln'S
Rescue
BY Gordon Tabor
BY Gordon Tabor
Copyright. 1906. by W. R. Caldwell

I'm worried about Nancy" said
Peyton gloomily.
You've got to worry about some
thing" was the consoling reply, as
Nancy Wescott's brother Billy did not
see anything TO worry about in the sit
uation.
But persisted Peyton, "she never
acted this way until that fellow Nal
colin came down"
Possibly it's Miss Malcolm" chuc-
killed. Billy. If you were not holding
hands last night, it's because appear
ances are deceitful"
Nothing of the sort" protested Pey-
ton, reddening. Il was just trying TO
make Nan little jealous"
And it looks as If she might be try
Ing to play the same game" laughed
Billy. See here, Tom, you've got a
fair wind and a pipe full of tobacco.
What more do you want1 Worry about
sis when you get back to the island"
With a heavy sigh, Tom Peyton
threw his leg over the tiller to hold 1t
while he lit his pipe. They had gone
over to the mainland for supplies, and
after beating their way against a head
wind 1t should have been enough to
satisfy the heart of any yachtsman to
have the wind right for a straight run
home.
1t was five miles to the mainland,
an absurd distance to 60 for butter but
the Wescott party liked the privacy of
the island, and had not the launch bro
ken down the matter Of supplies would
have been unimportant Billy had vol
unteered to sail over and get the but
ter and Tom had invited himself to 20
because he was SO utterly miserable
with Malcolm dancing attendance on
Nancy.
For three years he had been trying to
get her to say yes to the all important
question, but she had evaded the Issue
with the skill of diplomat, and In de
spair he had sought to force matters
through arousing her jealousy by flirt.
ing with Miss Malcolm.
Unfortunately Nancy had seen
through the plan and retaliated by en-
gaging in a desperate Irritation with

pivorce AMONG the Burmese.

The marriage customs of the Burmese
are simple in the extreme. A man and
woman are married or are not mar
ried, according to whether they live as
husband and wife or not. A man may
have several wives, though in practice
he rarely has more than one.
a woman may have only one hus-
band. Divorce is a matter for the vii
lage elders. No court is necessary, no
decree, no appeal to legal or ecclesias-
teal authority. Divorce is but the
breaking of a status. A wife retains
control Of all her property when mar
ried; she has a half share in all proper
ty acquired during marriage. If she
is divorced she takes her own property
and half that Jointly acquired. There
is no blending Of her authority with
that Of her husband. She may do
what she Will with her own.
There is no rule of primogeniture and
no power of bequeathing property by
testament All the children inherit
equally. No Buddhist may make a
will Whatever a man or a woman
dies possessed OF must be divided ac-
cording to the rules Of consanguinity.
There is no preference of either sex.
All children are equal in this matter.
The oldest son shares alike with the
youngest daughter.-Lahore Tribune

cese of Exeter with an iron hand, and
a tale Is told of a deanery meeting at
which he presided, when the subject
for discussion was ''The Hindrances

and young. as IL we were q set of
schoolboys" This bold statement drew
from the bishop an apology, and he
explained that beneath his brusque-
