EARLY Flowing Always Best.


Last summer we got field of wheat
stubble about half plowed when other
work called us away. The remaining
stubble was turned under early this
spring, and the whole field planted to
corn. The corn on last summers plow-
ing is now several inches taller than
that on the land plowed this spring,
and is ranker and better in every
other way.
There is difference between sum-
mer and fall plowing, the difference be-
ing in favor Of the summer plowing.
Turning a green growth into the soil
seems to be very much better than
turning an equal growth under. but
waiting until 1t has matured and dried
before doing 1t. Here on this farm
we aim to do all the plowing possible
this summer. 1t may be hot work but
the days are long and one does not
need to hurry the teams. Not only is
1t better to get the work done as soon
as possible for any crop to be sown
this fall, but our experience proves to
us that the earlier the better II corn
is to be the next crop.-Farmer's Mail

replaced as soon as 1t becomes broken
or rusted. The only satisfactory way
to clean the screen of a strainer Is
with a small, stiff brush. The best
kind of a strainer Is one with the
screen on the sides, rather than on
the bottom, for then there Is no un-
due pressure, which sometimes forces
small particles of dirt through the
screen. The screener cannot be count
ed upon to make up for previous care

and Friends to Recover

The condition of Mrs. Edward Cooke.
an actress, who was injured by rail-
ing at the Majestic theater Tuesday
night, has improved rapidly, and yes
terday she was able to sit up In her
apartments at the King Edward hotel.
Mrs. Cookies accident caused much
sympathy from the members OF the
"Burgomaster' company, in which she
was playing, as the accident. which at
first was reported to be fatal, hap
pened but a few hours after her mar
riage.
A romance which had its origin in
New York several months ago resulted
in the marriage of Miss June w.
Moore and Edward Cooke in Los An
geles Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Cooke had planned wedding
dinner at the conclusion of the per-
Torrance at the Majestic and had sent
a note to his wife telling her to meet
him.
In her haste Mrs. Cooke slipped In
descending the stairs to her dressing
room and for several hours her condi-
ton was considered serious, 1t be-
ing reported that her spine had been
affected and that she would be Grip
pie IN the event of her recovery.
Yesterday Mrs Cooke improved rap
idly and showed no signs of her in
juries other than nervous shock, and
she said that she would be able to re-
sumo her role at the Majestic theater
within a few days and also to partici-
pate in the belated wedding dinner.

to which some credence is given, one
of the things to which Secretary Dick
inson will give great attention while
he is in Panama is the great influx of
Japanese. The assertion is made that
the Canal Zone is being colonized by
Japanese who are still enrolled on the
active list OF the Japanese army and
navy, and that the colonization Is be-
ling encouraged by the United States of
It is asserted that the State Depart
ment has protested to Colombia that
this encouragement OF colonization is
an act of unfrlendliness to the United
States. No representations, however,
have been made to Japan, because of
the delicacy of the matter.
It Is feared the japanese on the zone
are making elaborate tracings and
maps Of the canal during its construc-
tion. so that Japan will be in posi-
tion~ to do great damage to the canal
In case 1t IS ever desired to render 1t
useless in the event of war between
the United States and japan. The de-
lenses to be erected for the protection
of tn zone are also suspected OF being
examined by the Japanese.
The War Department is considerably
concerned by the reports. and an inves-
tigation Is under way to determine, IL
possible, the exact number of Japanese
In the zone, and the opportunities they
have had for spy work.
The Japanese work on the canal as
laborers In some instances, but most Of
them pose as merchants and fruit ped
dlers selling the necessities of life rc
the laborers. 1t is admitted here that
