berries. If you do not like to take
care of bees, it would be easy to club
in and have one man care for whole
neighborhood. Get good standard
made hives with loose sections, put
ON your supers in the early spring and
your bees will take care of themselves
anyone can hive the new swarms,
You need the ices to mix the pollen
on the blossoms to assure good crop.
The honey commands good price and
is clear gain.
Now arises the question of market
ing our products, the chicken and bee
is easy enough. For our fruit AND
berries, the cannery is the only solu.
ton. We must grow the fruit which
has the greatest demand, both fresh
and canned. The valley cannot be
beat for growing berries, cherries and
pears and in planting young orchards
it should be remembered there is an
excellent market for all these, canned
as we'll as fresh. 1t is just as easy tC
grow Bling, Lambert and Royal Ann
cherries as an inferior kind. There
is always b market for the large sweet
cherry.
The Bartlett seems to have no equal
as a canning pear. Either of these
fruits can be grown among your ever
green blackberries. The berries seem
to do better in the shade; set your
trees % feet apart each way. | do
not advise against having some fir uits
for your own use, but when growing
for commercial purposes grow some
thing you can sell and il there is a
demand for the canned articles you
have two chances against loss.
Now is the time of year to get to
work and clean out your orchards
thin them out, cut out the under limbs
so the sun can get to the ground. 1t
will give the fruit size and color.
There is so much dampness and mil
dew, you can easy see the good fruit
is on the top of your trees. Don't be
afraid to prune them out, spray good
and cultivate. We are organizing for
the purpose of operating our own
market, but no one can sell poorly
colored and scabby fruit, so let us be-
gin now to get our orchards ready,
that what we have we may sell. Trim
out and cultivate all your berry vines,
if you have but crate or two, we will
have market for them, and it will
mean few dollars to you.
I'm sure we will be able to arrange
with the Puyallup association, or in
some other way be able to market all
we produce, il we will produce the
right kind and put it in the right con-
dition. No one can handle it any
other way. We must learn the great
lesson that it takes just so much to
supply the market; and we must put

On Monday morning Station Agent
Twiss put into effect the ruling that
all parties having whiskey shipped
to them must make affidavit that they
do not hold government license and
that the whiskey is for the use OF
themselves and family and not for
sale.
This order was issued last fall and
has been in effect at most places in
the state, but for some reason had
not been put into effect here until
Monday. When Mr.. Twiss was sent
back here to take charge of the sta
ton he found that any one could get
the goods by signing a straight bill
and he thought the order might have
been rescinded, until one day last
week when he called the attention of
the county attorney to the matter
who informed him that such was not
the case and advised him to put 1t
into execution which he did, begin
ming last Monday. This has had a
tendency to retard the receiving of
goods now here. Those who make
affidavit in order to peddle it out are
laying themselves liable for both the
selling of whiskey and perjury as well
and are in a fair way to take a free
trip to McAlester where they will be
given board only for their labor

BUT MEN TEACHERS IN NEW
YORK SUFFER BY THE VICTO.
RY-WAGES WILL BE CUT.
CONTROVERSY BITTERLY NAGED
One-Thrd the Salaries Of Men Ap-
pointed in the EIementary Grades
Topics Of the Metropolis.

New York, April 3.-Men teachers
in the elementary schools of New
York City appointed hereafter will
receive the same pay as women.
This will mean that the present sal
aries paid to men in those positions
will be cut about one-third in the
cases of future appointees.
This action by the board of edu-
cation is regarded by the women
teachers as a first step toward the
complete equalization of the salaries
of men and women teachers in all
departments of the public schools.
The controversy over this question
has been bitterly waged for sew
eral years.

BIBLE IS THE
BEST SELLER
ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS
WILL BE, SAYS A CHICAGO LEG
TURER.

Chicago, April 3.-"No best seller
since the Bible WIS first printed has
ever equalled it in number of copies
circulated"
That is one reason urged last night
by Henry B. F. Mcfarland, former
United States commissioner for the
District of Columbia, before the Sun
day Evening club, why all should
read the Bible.
During 1909 near thirteen million
copies of the Bible were sold by the
principal church publishing houses,
he said, "and six million were sold
by commercial houses. The total
number for 1910 exceeded twenty mil.
lion.
"Uncle Toms Cabin" Second.
The modern best seller, next to
the Bible, was Uncle Toms Cabin.
In 1852, the year after its publication,
three hundred thousand copyrighted
copies and one and one-half million
copies from pirated editions were
sold, according to the librarian OF
the congressional library. During the
last century 341 million copies of the
Bible have been sold, and it is now
translated into 500 languages, while
Uncle Toms Cabin is found in
twenty-three languages"
The speaker said that while the
Bible is now more widely read than
ever before, ignorance OF it among
the so called educated is astounding.
He said college students in the up
per classes usually were unable TO
understand the simplest illusions in
literature to Bible facts. He en-
phasized the fact that the Bible is
the foundation of English literature
and must be known before any other
classic can be understood.

ROM COTTON FIELD TO KITCHEN

Cotolene comes from the oil OF the
nutritious cotton seed. Without touch OF
human hands, it flows through the fac
tory from one process TO another, and
finally into pals sealed air-tight by
special machines, and protecting ths
Cottolene also from dust and odors.
Compare this with most other cooking
lats-made from hog fat, which is al
ways more or less indigestble, and in
ferior in quality-and marketed in tubs
or loose-covered pals
From cotton field to kitchen, Cotto-
lene is made with the single aim of puri-
y, healthfulness, cleanliness. Of what
)ther cooking fats can this truthfully be

Bomb Under Policeman's Feet.

A tBlack Hand bomb exploded
early today almost beneath the coat
tails of New York policeman. The
policeman was standing at the door
way of a tenement house in First
Avenue and the bomb was in the
cellarway Of the building, not a rod
from his feet. He was uninjured, al
though the front of the building was
damaged and doors and windows
blown in. The tenements, twenty
families in al, made a wild rush
for the streets, but were checked

and guests until the closing remarks
which were delightful little parody
on "The Light Brigade" with the
three hundred words that Roosevelt
Carnegie and others have advocated
changing.
After Mrs. Turner's paper the
spelling match began.
Miss Walters, Mrs. David Redfield
and Mrs. Kenneth Hudson were the
judges and had frequent calls for
decisions, which were always i'm
partially given.
| Mrs Lamont Byars and Mrs. NJ. J.
Gill chose sides.
Miss Hammond gave out the words
| in a clear and distinct voice and it
may be said that before the evening
had closed the Ladies of the Leaf
had required her to define every
word she read while their wits were
searching around for the proper way
of spelling it.
Mrs. Byars' side was victorious.
Mrs. Potterf and Mrs. Whiteman,
who were left standing, believed like
Schley that there was glory enough
for both of them in the achievement
and did not continue spelling.
The pronouncing contest was led
by Mrs. Turner who placed one hun
dred words on the board and asked
the ladies to pronounce them cor.
rectly.
Mrs. Bert Foster assisted Mrs. Tur-
ner in writing the words.
The guests took part in this also
and those ladies who were ingeni-
GUS enough to think of pronouncing
the words the most outlandish way
possible were the most successful.
There was no contest in this. but
perhaps Mrs. p. C. Dings and Mrs.
Max Westheimer were the best pre-
pared.
The next meeting of the club will
be the spring musicale at Mrs. Ar

The Social Realm

THE WEBSTER SPELLING BEE.
Il. was quite an innovation-it was
really something new,
To cease discussing Shakespeare and
heroines a few,
And bark back to the log school
house with its master tall and
grim,
And the blue-back spelling book
with tough words and quaint
maxim,
But the Ladies of the Leaf planned
Webster spelling bee,
And they bravely took their places
for defeat or victory.
Now Miss Hammond gave the words
out with a sympathizing air,
And pronounced them all so clear
ly the ladies' were in despair.
For there was no chance of saying
that words Were not understood,
And you simply had to light out and
spell them if you could.
Now there's nothing so elusive
though it really sounds absurd,
As an "a" or q" or "e" in an easy
sounding word.
And some words in conversation,
really, are not often used.
Schismatic, cachexy, phthisic are not
for every day abuse;
Now an-ti-trin-ita-rian is an easy
word to spell,
And dividing it in syllables is
pleasant task as we'll
Few ladies playing Bridge or at
the Aid Society,
Use cicatrice, feoffment,, etymon or
porphyriety;
And so many words have two mean
inss-nearly half Miss Ham
mond read
Could be spelled another way, so
the one who missed it said.
The lines at last were thinning out
Mrs. Crockett stood alone
against Mrs. Potterf and Mrs.
Whiteman, who bravely held
their own.
At last "weevil' was the word and
Mrs Crockett missed the wee"
Leaving Mrs. Potterf with the palm
of victory.
AS the hour had grown late and
the two were quite good friends,
They decided to share honors and
the spelling match here ends.
At Mrs. Harold Wallace's resi-
dence on yesterday afternoon the La
dies of the Leaf enjoyed lesson
in orthography and ortolpy-or to
be more concise, the Ladies of the
Leaf recited the lesson, and their
guests enjoyed it. There was quite
a large crowd of visitors.
The program was opened by a |
beautiful song by Mrs. e. E. Gull |
lot, with Miss Lipscomb as accom-
paniest.
Roll call was answered by some |
word that has changed its spelling |
or pronunciation in the last half |
century.
Mrs. Turner was leacer and read |
a paper on The New Spelling; its
advantages and disadvantages"
Mrs. Turner's paper was most |
splendidly prepared and presented |
both sides with impartiality.
Although her subject was rather |
a dry one, she interpolated her
remarks with wit and humor, holding

One of the staff of the Fl Paso Herald certainly was caught by the spirit of the season when he penned the following:
 Soon wen all be gay and bappv as bay steers! Soon we'll wipe away the briny. flowing tearsi If we've sorrows we win lose 'em, joy will permeate each bosom. for the sea son is at hand for roastin' earsl For the fancy Frenchy dishes | have jeers, and the Waldorf bill of fare to me appears. Ike a thing that's out of fashion. for have a perfect passion for the good old unassum- ing roastin' ears, Oh, my parents bid farewell to griefs and fears. and my granny turns somersault and cheers, when the corn is on the ta- ble and we all feel fit and able to deyour about a ton of roastin' ears, Nothin' better can be found in all the spheres, It's a diet for the sol diers and the seers! And my joys too great to utter when I spread a wad of butter on the fragrant and the tempting roastin' ears, Oh, the bards will greet this rhapsody with ieers. and they'll sing about their roses down the year. but there's nothing more inspiring than the corn we're all desiring. nothing nobler than the joyous roastin' esrs,"
