WrrH snap beans producing two
hundred bushels per acre, and
selling at S.. so per bushel net, the
truck farmer on the Rio Grande
who raises a crop of this vegetable
will soon be rich enough to go in
to the banking business. 1t sounds
almost incredible, but truck grow
ers in the Santa Maria vicinity
have actually produced that
amount of snap beans per acre
this spring and are selling them
at the price stated. Allowing the
cost per acre for seed, labor and
water to be, say SIS, which is
probably much in excess of the
actual expense. this leaves the
handsome profit of S625 per acre.
And the best of it is, the crop is
made and harvested before the
summer heat begins.

A NEW source of wealth which
has been sowed by the bountiful
hand of Nature in great profusion
over the senli-arid plains of West
Texas and Northern Mexico is
;guayule, which furnishes COM
merce with a very valuable pro-
duct-rubber. Thus Nature has
given to those lands which were
formerly considered worth so
little, value far beyond the price
at which they could have been
purchased at any previous
time. The owners of those west
ern ranges little dreamed that the
apparently worthless weed that
crept in from, Mexico and gradually
covered their ranges was to be-
come such a valuable source of
revenue 70 them.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is infiam-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an infamed condi
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Retort Of Indian Chief.

A distinguished army officer tells a
story on himself which relates to the
days when he was young lieutenant
in the far west a good many years
ago. He was of party who had gone
to see the Indians at Spokane falls.
Among the redskins was Chief Moses,
who was fairly we'll educated and
spoke capital English. The young
lieutenant addressed Chief Moses in
the Indian tongue, saying: Moses,
l have often heard of you and | have
seen your picture and your name in
the newspapers, but have never be
fore seen you" and, Offering his hand
added: 81 am glad to meet you
Moses scanned him from head to foot
and as the young man stood with out
stretched hand the frightening ST
lence and stolidity of the chief were
becoming painful when old Moses al

has been patented to rock the young

been placed on the market an cleo

when the youngster cries during the

sary Is to turn switch and the milk
is warm by the time papa is up and

with doleful significance to bad boys,
that an electric spanking machine
armed with many hard wood paddles
has been devised. 1t is predicted that
schoolrooms which are already equip

Girls Have More Liberty.

One idea in the mind of girls of to-
day is that parents Should not inter
fere with their goings and comings,
Why II has come about is somewhat
of n question, for there is really no
less obligation on the part of parents
to know a daughters associates and
the places she goes than there was on
mothers concerning themselves a gen
Grafton ago. A perfectly natural fact
is that normal young people crave
amusement, and II this is not provided
at home 1t will assuredly be sought
elsewhere. This is true of the girl
who has nothing to do, as well as for
her friend who has to work all day,
and both will turn to recreation away
from home II none is to be found
there.-Chicago Daily News.
