propositions. The whole lot may he

a rain. There's nothing stable TO them.
hey're good for absolutely nothing,
and 1t appears they're sort of lemon"
Did you ever hear such talk about
the Ten Commandments?
r. G. Wheeler, a farmer from near
Ottawa, Kan, talked that way at the
interstate fair and exposition in Kan
sas City the other morning He did not
blush, stammer or hesitate He seem
ed somewhat proud of his assertions,
says the Kansas City Star. However,
the Ten Commandments to which he
referred is the name of a peculiarly
shaped gourd which Mr.. Wheeler has
raised on his farm. 1t is a small white
gourd, but much larger than a lemon,
and ten points grow from it like the
petals of a rose, only they are hard.
The vine on which they thrive makes
a pretty shade. and for this reason the
Ten Commandments are propagated.

much of a nuisance wherever it has

pany has recently been formed to erect
a plant for the extraction of alcohol,

says the Pathfinder. The works will
be in an adobe building. because it is
easier to maintain in building of this
material certain temperatures neceS-

the works will be twenty tons day,
which means that profitable employ
ment will be found for many persons

its kind in the United States.

In a statement today Mr.. Sparkman indt-

bill which would give adequate or. in fact.
any measure of relief, particularly to the
employer of labor. who. he said. was placed
at great disadvantage owing to the rigor
Of peonage prosecution in the federal
courts. 1t was a frequent occurrence. he
said, for negroes to make charges of mall
treatment against their employers simply
for the purpose of being summoned as wit
nesse3 In the federal courts. for which a
fee is paid sufficient to support the negro in
idleness during the tendency of the suit.
There were. Mr. Sparkman maintained.
many other points where injustice results
from the present mode OF legal procedure in
determining charges of peonage for which
correction is needed. Mr.. Sparkman has
not completed the draft of any measure
which as yet meets his approval.
