A soft drink manufacturer in Allan
ia writes the Constitution that his
concern never knows whether it will
be in business when the next legisla-
ture meets. There is no doubt that the
sessions of the legislature are fraught
with danger to business interests
through attempts at freak legislation.
The legislators guilty of these at
temptsI generally have little or nothing
at stake themselves, their chidd cap
ital being their mouths.

Put in a telephone last year.
The farmers built rural line.
The instruments all talked up fine;

All YOU had to do was ring;
Every bell went tlnga ling.
One for Swans on's; two for Roggs-
Long and short for old man Scroggs
Every time the signal rang;
To the phone each farmer sprang;
SIyly grinned and softly took
The receiver from the hook;
Slapped his leg and said. 81 swan"
Telephones are lots of fun
Mighty nice when work was through
To gossip for an hour or two
With your neighbors. one by one
Mighty nice but lots more fun,
To overbear some other two
Telling what was not for you.
Somehow in week or two
Troubles dark began to brew.
Farmer Jones got fighting hot
Heard Scrogg calling him sot:
Farmer Brown seemed angry, too,
Heard Smith telling what be knew;
Smith heard johnson telling lies
Paid him off with two black eyes,
Johnson heard young Ezra Boggs
Underbid him on some hogs:
Ezra heard some sneaking churl
Making love to his best girl.
Women. too. were in muss.
Raised a most outrageous fuss.
Everyone from Scroggs to Jones.
In glass houses throwing stones.
Twenty friends are deadly foes;
Each one full of grief and woes;
Each too mad to speak a word,
Because of things he overheard.

DRY FARMING

In some parts of Utah and
other western states, farmers
are practicing the dry farming
methods today with marked sue
cess. With IL inches Of moisture
it is safe to depend on a good
crop of wheat or other grain.
Very little or no rain falls in the
summer, and the only moisture
that the land receives is in the
form Of snow, which melts in
the spring. The farmers plow
their land in the fall and in the
spring harrow it very thoroly SO
that a dust mulch forms. This
breaks up the capillary ducts by
which the water finds it's way to
the surface, and the ground be-
meath the mulch remains moist
all summer long. Narrowing
can we'll be applied to the land
even in North Dakota where the
average rainfall is almost double
the required IL inches. The
more the land is narrowed, the
finer the dust mulch and the bet
ter will the moisture be con-
served.

She's a prince among the toilers.
Her hands may be stained by
