The Arts of Asia.

II was Asia. through Arabia. which
gave Europe the literature. the arts
and the sciences which we have de-
yeloped and of which we now boast.
Gunpowder was probably invented in
China. 1t was certainly introduced
into Europe from Arabia. The finely
tempered steel of Damascus went over
from Arabia at the time of the Moor
ish invasion of Spain. and its manu-
facture was continued at Toledo. The
coppersmths of Bagdad supplied the
worlds market with their wonderful
productions centuries before there
were any industries in Europe Weav-
ing of silk and cotton had its birth as
an industry in Arabia, and the weav.
ing OF wool was learned by the. cru
saders in the same wonderful country.

Open Accounts Should Be limited.

This thing of keeping open accounts
and having them drag along in an un-
certain manner is like hobbling
horse and trying to make him do
steady duty. Or, rather, it is like hob
bling a whole herd of horses, for each
man failing to receive for his accounts
promptly is unable to meet his own
obligations, and thus the hobble be-
comes a sort of continuous chain that
hampers the progress of every bust
ness man. The time has come to look
this matter straight in the face and to
adjust it in business-like way, and
the sooner we get at this in the new
year the better. Open accounts should
be limited. That is, there should be a
specific understanding as to the limit
of time for payment. 1t should be

TOMATO BLIGHT Is
CAUSED BY BACTERIA.
The Remedy is Crop Rotation and
Treating Seed with Formaldehyde.

Discovery has been made by s. A.
Wright, fruit grower and truck
farmer at Opportunity, Wash. that
Western tomato blight is caused by a
form of bacteria in the soil. His rem
edy is crop rotation to purify the soil,
treating the seed with a solution of
formaldehyde and setting the plants
in non-infected soil.
Mr.. Wright has reported his discov-
cry to the experiment station of the
Washington state college at Pullman
and expects to interest agricultural
college and experiment stations in the
Northwest in movement to stamp out
the mysterious disease, which has
baffled experts for years and cost mar
ket gardeners in the Pacific slope
country hundreds of thousands of dol
lars.
Like the so-called wilt which is
literally wiping out the fax industry
in many parts of Montana and North
Dakota said Mr.. Wright recently,
the blight first attacks the root OF
the tomato plant. The rest of it soon
becomes affected and is rendered
worthless. Each year adds to the
amount Of injurious germs in the land
and the crop becomes smaller. In
some instances the soil is so infected
that tomatoes will not grow and that
soon will be the case in many parts
of the west If the blight is not checked.
THE growers must unite If the fight
on the blight is to be successful, as
the germs are easily spread by irriga-
ton bitches, wind and farm imple-
ments. To insure healthy plants every
grower should raise his seed from Wig
orous. blight-resisting stock and use
only fresh and purified soil in making
the hotbed and take care of the plants
after they have been set out in the
field. The remedy is so simple that
every tomato grower should join in
this campaign against the blight"

boys appeared to be getting kind OF
Ia city move; and right here allow. me
to say that we farmers take deep
interest in your city airs, but we
realize that we are not only welcome
| in Bryan, but that each business man
without an exception wants us to
come to Bryan as often as we can.
And we are so much benefited by your
growth. This farmer remembers hav-
| ing had to sell good fresh yard eggs
| in Bryan for rs cents for six dozen;
good fat spring chickens at $1.25 a
dozen. How now? The last eggs /
sold / got 80 cents for dozen, and
spring chickens sold readily at 40
cents each-all on account of demand.
Yes, Bryan is destined to be city,
and we country people are going to
help 1t be city. Sure, for one have
oh! so many friends in Bryan, and
for one will always feel deep and
lasting interest in our county seat and
hope to live long enough to see good
residences built all along the inter-
urban line to the college. And it is
coming. We are busy on this end.
Now, you get busy; clean up the old
town; get your rest rooms, wagon
yards. water fountains and have some
good ice water and make the place
more attractive as the days roll by.
Now with your business league, ladies'
societies and the old Eagle, we are
bound to spread.
We farmers are little blue on ac-
count of the recent cold, as 1t got
gardens, fruit, potatoes and all; but
we are at it again, realizing that God
does all things for the best. and still
we live and prosper and praise the
name of our God

CLEARLY SHOWN.

A story is told of simple and
devout Methodist minister who was
not sufficiently eloquent or. business
like to be approved by the presiding
elder.
Through the influence of the eld-
er he felt sure he was appointed to a
small and widely scattered settle
ment, where there was much hard
work and the results were necessa-
rily meager.
One day he was commenting sadly
on the narrowness cf his opportuni-
ties to a friend, who said gravely
that he ought to pray for light that
he might see the hand of the Lord
in his appointment.

"again and again. But SO far" he

BROWNS TRUNK WAS PACKED
He Was Ready on Time This Day, but
the House Keys Were Locked
up Also.

''This time," said Mr.. Brown, tri-
umphantly, GIVE got my trunk
packed long before the arrival of any
possible expressman. Everybody at
the breakfast table congratulated
him. The habits of Mr.. Brown in
relation to his trunk were well known
to all his friends and acquaintance.
They were such that Mrs. Brown had
long ago given up any attempt to
ameliorate them. She packed her
own trunk and left Mr.. Brown to
deal with his according to his nature.
As she sometimes said, t'Mr. Browns
trunk always gets to the train, but
I take care not to be round when
he is packing it."
But this time Mr.. Brown had tax
en- time by the forelock. The trunk
was packed and the expressman not
due for Is minutes. They all sat
down to breakfast in great satlsfac-
ton.
Breakfast was half over when Mrs.
Brown had a sudden anxiouo
thought.
"Have you the keys to the house,
Henry " she asked, pleasantly.
Mr.. Brown paled. He felt in all
his pockets. Then he rose nervous
ly from the table, still holding his
napkin.
"My goodness !" he exclaimed. II
haven't! They're in the pocket of
my other trousers in the bottom of
my trunk"
And as the ring of the expressman
resounded from the back door Mr..
Brown disappeared with long leaps
up the front stairway to unpack and
repack his famous trunk.

HOMESTEADER HAS

COMBINATION HOUSE AND BARN BURN
TOGETHER WITH ALL CONTENTS
MAKING COMPLETE LOSS.

Tonick Larson, homesteader
living about seven miles southeast
of town, had the misfortune of los
ing his house and barn, which was
built together, a fine team of hors
es that he had only recently pur-
chased, seed grain, personal effects
and everything. by fire last Satur-
day.
Mr.. Larson doesn't know how
the fire started. He had been us
ing gasoline stove but that had
been out for a full half hour before
he left the house. The fire occurred
at the noon hour. After dinner he
laid down and rested about a half
hour and then went out to do some
repair work on the plow, which
was only a short distance from the
house. He had been employed in
that way but few minutes when
he looked up and saw his building
on fire. In fact the fire had made
such Roadway that he was unable
to get the team out or save any
thing. The total loss in money
amounted, to about $1,000. He
had no insurance.
Mr.. Larson is a single man and
came from Racine, Wis. He in
tended to do considerable breaking
and SOW the greater part of it and
had about 10 acres turned over al
ready but will not be able to do
anything more this year. He.is

however, work out and try to make
a go of it in spite of his hard luck
