While Alfred M. Harris, private
soldier in the hospital corps service at
the Boise barracks and his l6-year-old
sweetheart, Henrietta Stuart, a high
school girl, were speeding toward
Caldwell Saturday evening to. get a
marriage license in Canyon county and
be made man and wife before the
girls parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
A. Stuart, would be able to prevent
the match, the telephone line was hot
between the two places and Mr.. Stu
art. through the aid of the local Off
Gals, had communicated with Canyon
county officials and with the county
clerk at Caldwell. When the clipping
couple stepped from the Interurban
car to hasten to the court house, they
were takn into custody by the Canyon
county sheriff and the girl returned to
her father. who followed on the next
car. while Harris was arrested on the
charge of making false affidavit,
which case was dismissed this morn
ing by Judge Bower, it having been
learned that while he stated the girl
was 10 years of age to the authorities
of the adjoining county. he had not
made an affidavit to that effect and
consequently the case was dismissed
Mr. Stuart paid S. to the court for
the expense put to by the county in

Miss Stuart is an. attractive young
girl and seemed clearly to realize the
mistake which she had made in at

a representative of the Capital News
this morning, she made a pledge that
she would not again attempt to get
married without the consent of her
parents, but would not consent to give
up her soldier boy. with whom she
seemed quite infatuated.
The young girl thanked Judge Bow
er for his courteous attention and in

again gave her pledge that she would
not attempt to marry without the

What Is Silaqe Worth 2

A correspondent Of the National
Stockman and Farmer at Dubois, Pa,
wants to know what ton of good
corn ,silage is worth in the silo. That
~ q question which frequently arises
In farm settlements and on which u
great variety Of views may prevail.
Some have given silage very low
value, counting merely the cost of
growinL the crop and putting it up.
With a big variety Of corn and high
tonnage silage can be figured down to
quite low value, but such figuring
Is manifestly unfair. Silage contains
corn In varying amounts, usually
around FIVE bushels per ton in good
silage, and the price of corn should
be considered In estimates as to the
price of silage. Using this as basis,
our friend can rate the value Of his
silage by basing 1t on the corn it. con-
tains. In recent years most estimates
have been at $3.50 to So per ton, but
4 may Be worth more II rich In grain.

The stems are very short and thick,
and the leaves are large, dark green

The fruit has a smooth, dark green
rind, marbled with yellow or pale

The early crook neck squash, which
is bright yellow in color, curved near
the stem and entirely covered with
rounded excrescences, is valued espe-
cially as an ornamental plant. The
Touraine citronille, on the other hand,
is cultivated chiefly as a field crop for

CITY MAN AS A FARMER.
Educator Advises Study of Certain
Sciences and Specializing.

Educator Advises Study of Certain
Sciences and Specializing.
If the city man who has longing
to get back to the farm imagines he
can lead a quiet rural life in the ca
pacity of an agriculturist and succeed
in that line he is mistaken, according
TO Professor o. S. Morgan of Colum-
bia university.
New economic conditions and tenn
pered public opinion toward the life
Of the farmer have turned the tide, so
that today the tendency is for the city
man to seek agricultural pursuits
rather than for the proverbial farmers
boy to go to the city to seek his for
tune, Professor Morgan said. His ad-
vice to the city man who desires to
take up farming is to, go slow and first
to acquire at least d general knowl-
edge Of some of the sciences, such as
biology, physics, geology, botany and
chemistry; then specialize, for the city
man Is normally a specialist from
temperament and training, and that
kind of farming is best, declared the
educator.

FRAYED TITLES.

TERM BARON IN GERMANY.
Waiter Once Said He Who Tipped a
Pfennig Would Receive This Distinc-
tion-kriegsraad Usually Worn by
MIdest Danish Apotheearies.

There was time in France when
monsieur" carried considerably more
significance than it does now. Indeed,
it conveyed the idea of high rank, pret-
ty much as it does to this day among
the Norman population Of the Channel
islands, and even in England the wife
of a knight or a baronet, who Is by
courtesy my lady" is in reality only
madame" But for the last seventy
years at least monsieur" has ceased
to be any more distinctive than
"esquire" in England, 'senor' or don
in Spain, "signor in Italy, "senhor" In
Portugal, herr in Germany or, it
might be added, than colonel" or,
Judge" in certain parts of our own
country.
In England even within the memory
of men living the old distinctions Of
"mister" and esquire" We're to some
degree preserved. A gentleman en-
titled to bear arms"-an 'armiger'-
had alone the right to the latter desig-
nation, although by courtesy it was eX-
tended to every landowner and justice
latter functionary is to this day styled
an esquire" or squire" though we
have dropped the redundant worship
still claimed by certain English magis-
trates. Then esquire" was extended
to every professional man. though le-
gally it is in England confined to some
of the younger sons of dukes and mar
quises and their eldest sons. to the
eldest sons of baronets and knights, to
all the untitled sons of noblemen. to
justices of the peace. officers of the
army and the navy, barristers and doc
tors of law and medicine. 1t is not the
right OF surgeons or attorneys ard.
curiously enough does not necessarily
belong to landed proprietors. In some
old books the distinction is carefully
maintained in the predatory list of sub
scribers. the misters and esquires be
ing divided into separable categories.
Even in the body Of the text the "armi-
ger" is always mentioned under this
title, and until recent times, says the
New York Press, it was not regarded
as clumsy pleonasm to address Il let

In Spain "senor" and "senora" are
Of universal application, and, though
in Portugal "dom" is (or was) strictly
reserved for the royal family. the
Spaniard not styled don" would be
much offended. So In the new world
the profession of republicanism does
not prevent every Latin American
from Mexico to the Argentine Repub-
lie from being addressed somewhat
tautologically as ''senor don"

strange to say, the truculent title of
"kriegsraad." or war councillor, is usu-
ally borne by the mildest of village
apothecaries.
1t is the same with the English 'es-
quire" and mister" Anybody in Eng
land can bear arms" and, for the
matter of that. does so without trou-
bling the college of heralds, and, except
that sometimes in addressing a letter

fectly. certain that to neither is there
attached the smallest title of honor.

Honey Farming.

With the development Of reclama-
ton projects in various states Of the
west a new and attractive industry
has made its appearance nothing
more nor less than honey farming.
Now that extensive irrigated tracts
are being added to the arabic lands,
honey growing on large commercial
scale has become profitable enter
prise. The average cost of bees is
about So, and in irrigated territory a
hive will produce about seventy six
pounds more honey year than its
members require. The honey sells ut
the point of production at prices rang
ing from 10 to 20 cents a pound AS
bees multiply at the rate of 100 per
cent year, 1t is estimated that bee
farm will return annual dividends of
$50 per cent after the first year. 1t

LIVE STOCK - AGRICULTURE
COMBINATION FARMING"

The profits of farming are be-
ing investigated in an extensive
way by the Cornell On. W ex-
pertinent station. The plan Is
to compare the actual returns
and outgoeS based on figures OBJ
tained by agents visiting the
farmers in the various counties
of the state. The idea is to give
comparative figures rather than
; to disclose facts TO which the
individual farmers might object.
The conclusion seems to be, on
, the whole, in favor of combina-
ton farming against special
farming.
1t appears that farmers make
more money by having num-
Der of side issues in combina-
ton with whatever may be their
speciality. The experiment sta
ton suggests the Importance of
the farmer having a combination
that will furnish the most profit
able work throughout the day
and throughout the year and as
serts that no single product will
accomplish this result.
The conclusion is not against
specialized farming nor in favor
of ordinary general farming, but
rather leaning toward what the
station calls combination farm
ing" which depends mostly on
the specially, but advances the
income by a wise selection of
side lines which enable various
economies Of labor and equip
ment and add decidedly to the
profits-American Cultivator.
