Save Your Peaches.
B. M. ESTES
Commander

In every orchard, and on every
farm, there are more or less Peaches
that that are not of such a quality
that they will sell to advantage to
the Gamers or for shipping, but
they could be dried in the sun, and
command a good price, that would
pay very we'll rather than let them
go to waste. Thousands OF bushels
of such fruit are dropping on the
ground and are a total loss, and it
behooves the growers to save their
fruit in this way, which can be done
with little labor and care. and they
will find a ready market Mt all
times. We understand that the
Teasdale Fruit & Nut Products Co.
will contract for large quantity Of
these goods to be delivered during
the next three or four months. For
further information, we refer our
readers to that firm, who are
located opposite the Frisco depot,
at Rogers, Arkansas.

white was visible, but the black let ters disappeared from wide strip in the center 9f proof sheet
 Men of science have taken up the same matter recently, and they find that on account of the varying degree of light absorption by different colors, when we look at the printed page in which the black is printed on the white we really do not see the black, but see the white which surrounds it. Therefore, we are not looking at the letters which form the words, but at the white spaces around these letters. which indirectly produce the effect of seeing the black letters. On the oth- CT hand, if we were looking at a white letter on a black background, it is the letter we see and do not see the back ground This is why, it is much more restful to the eyes to read white let ters on a black or dark background.
 Science might argue for better printing until the cows come home without inducing any change, but when business interest points the same way something may be done. A paper manufacturer tells a trade con- vention that black paper can be made for much less than white, inasmuch as old newspapers would be the prin- cipal stock in the black paper. Less than one-quarter as much pulp wood would be consumed if print paper were black and the price of black pa per would perhaps be less than half as much as the present white paper costs. It is estimated that the saving would run up into millions of dollars and that it would be a great factor in forest preservation.

The Union Oil Company of Califor mia, realizing the importance of the Imperial Valley, was quick to grasp the opportunity of establishing warehouse here which will be located at El Centro. They propose to carry a high grade stock of gasoline, kerO- sene, benzine, distillate and lubricat- ing oils in cases and barrels.

Ginsenn as an EIiYir

Many of the Chinese believe that
when all other remedies fail and death
Is at hand ginseng has the power to
bring back health and longevity; hence
when they feel the need of it they will
pay fabulous prices for certain kinds of
roots. A root to be really valuable as
q commodity must come from the
mountains of Kirin or be reputed to
have come from there 1t must be BIZ
furcated, SO as to resemble as much as
possible the human form, and be semi
transparent, dry and finty. Of course
the larger the root the better, and as it
Is sold by weight it is not very upcom-
mon for a good specimen to bEnE as
much as 500 an ounce The value for
such a root is in its shape, its texture,
the manner in which it has been cured
and the region whence it came. But it
must be borne in mind that out of a
great quantity of roots only a very few
Of the kind described can be obtained,
80 that the average price Of ginseng is
even greatly less than 500 per pound

THE ELEPHANT AT BAY

Twenty years of experience tells
me that a whole regiment of lions
cannot produce the same moral effect
as one twelve-foot African tusker
when he cocks his big sail-like ears,
draws himself up to his full height
and looks at you, letting off at the
same time blood curdling scream;
while in all probability others invis-
ible to you are stampeding on all
sides with the din and vibration OF an
earthquake. Surrounded in a dense
jungle by herd Of elephants they
seem to block out the whole horizon.
One | measured was actually sixteen
feet from edge OF ear to edge OF ear.
No wonder my insignificant self SEEM
ed to shrivel and my huge express
rifle to dwindle into mere pea shoot
er. Try as ! will on such occasions,
| can never overcome my sense of
terror, and always feel inclined to
throw down my elephant gun and run
for safety till | drop.-Success Maga-
