throughout this vicinity there will be a
great abundance of luscious fruit. "A
medley of harvesting is being done

MONEY.

/ do not believe in the doctrine
that if you want to make your
wife happy all you have to do
is to give her plenty of money
do not believe that possession
of money and happiness are
SYNONYMOUS. Women want love
first of all if they are provided

great problem Of today is the
making Of money. It is unques

CAUTION.
CORPORATIONS.

The reason why neither the
enactment of legislation nor its
enforcement has been successful
in exterminating the SO called
trusts or even to affect wages is
because as an effective industrial
agency to WELD the energies of
mankind the corporate form, be-
yond any other form. is the
most effective yet discovered.
The mistake is in the point of
view. Approximately one-third
of the wealth of the country is
in corporate form. 1t is the
wealth of the people. One way
to view this domain, one that
has achieved some popularity,
is that it is the enemy's country
and should be desJ Dyed The
other-and. as ! maintain, the
Just and reasonable-way is TO
view it as a rich field, a new
field that should be opened to
every citizen.-Judge Grosscup.

GRASS BANKS FOR CANAL.

Several Thousand Pounds of Seed Sent
to Panama For the Experiment..
By the time the Panama canal is
opened the ships may sail through
terraced green lawns instead of the
bare yellow earth slopes now in evi-
dence, says Peru Today. The reason
is not altogether an aesthetic one.
It is believed that seeding the slop-
ing sides Of the canal through the cuts
with a strong grass may prevent the
slides now so frequent and will re-
duce the wearing down by the tropical
rains II. Pittier, an expert botanist
Fom the Smithsonian institution, has
charge OF an attempt to test this the
ory. for which purpose the agricul-
tural department at Washington has
sent down several thousand pounds of
grass seed.
Even though it be impossible to
prevent entirely the occasional big
slides, it seems almost certain that this
measure will result in a great saving
by holding the ground from starting
except under great pressure and by re-
ducing the erosion which brings down
a tremendous amount Of earth in the
course Of the year.
