Buyers generally use the Lent bogie

count country shippers are urged To
keep the receipts down TO small pro-
portions until they are certain which
way the wind is blowing.
There are indications that the coun-
try is running little shy of big sup
plies In the past two weeks cattle
have been marketed more conservatives
ly and the situation has picked UP a
little. Light and handy classes in par
ticuar are better sale. Bulk of these
grades are now selling 15m 25c higher
than low time at the start last week.
but the failure of good to choice
grades to advance much in value in
face of reduced marketing IS good in
dication of the public preference for the
lighter cuts of beef.

Most of the melon growers of the valley, particularly in the Fl Centro and Holtville districts, are doing their best to encour- age American labor. They are paying white men $2.50 a day when they could hire Japanese at $1.75. Their reward for be- ing decent to their own people is misrepresentation and abuse, and the loafng delegates of a lawIess, incendiary gang, some of them discards from Nevada mining camps, conspire to hold them up and blackmail them. But the growers are too busy to kick, and trouble is all in the days work.

4 PERSISTENT MYTH.

Tn an exchange appears a short funny paragraph credited to the Rebo6oth Sunday Her ald," a journal which never eX- isted but has been the exchange editors friend for many a year. When the exchange editor finds good paragraphs or anecdotes in certain newspapers, he knows they have been stolen and he will not give credit for them to the puTlOiner; neither will he steal them himself. In such eases the old custom was to cred it the story to Exchange, ' which was the same as "anony- nous" in the old school reader.
 About twenty-five years ago the exchange editor of the Bos- ton Globe asked the staff for the name of the most obscure ham let on the Atlantic coast; the most lonesome, backward, fossil ized crossroads postofice discov- erable, where nobody ever thought of publishing a paper RehobOth filed the bill, and the ''RehObOth Sunday Herald" was invented to take credit of all the stolen and unidentified good things clipped from the ev- changes.
 That Mrs. Harris of journal ism is one of the most famous papers in the country, and for a quarter of a century has been quoted in all seriousness by many editors. The inventor lit tie dreamed, when the Rehoboth Sunday Herald was started as a joke, that the paper had "come to stay" even though it filled a long-felt want"
