ASPARAGUS AND
FOREIGN LABOR
BY L. L. DeBra

A few years ago the delta lands of
the lower Sacramento and San Joa-
quin Rivers were worthless swamps.
Today, by means Of American capital
and Asiatic labor, they are producing
millions of dollars worth of vegeta-
bles annually Because this section
is now one of the richest gardening
spots, not only in California, but In
the world, 1t has often been spoken
OF as the Mile lands Of California. Z"
One Of the most important crops of
this section is asparagus. There are
thousands Of acres devoted to grow.
ing this vegetable. During the 1913
season just closed over 100000 cans
were put up in addition to the large
quantity used fresh in the state or
shipped east.
The asparagus Is kept banked up
to prevent "greening.' But this year
however, green tipped asparagus was
found on California markets because
growers learned that fasteners were

A REAL THANKS
GIVING DAY
AFTER ALL
BY Olive Allen

II was Thanksgiving morning. Ted
dy jumped out of bed, shivering as
the air struck him, and peered out
OF the window. Roads and fences had
vanished, folded up without a wrin-
kle into great soft white fields. And
still the snow fell, hanging the trees
with ermine too dear for an earl.
Teddy understood now what that line
from Longfellow's First Snowfall"
meant, and he had not known a bit
when he learned 1t in the sunny
school room in Florida. You see.
Teddy, although he was seven, had
always lived in Florida and had new
er seen snow before this Thanksgiv-
ing morning when he pressed his face
close to the window In his aunt's
house in Maine.
Soon he began to dress. There was
stir in the halls, so he knew it was
time. Besides, he could hardly wait
for what the day was to bring. At
eleven o'clock they would all pile into
a big sleigh-Teddy had never been
in a sleigh, of course-and ride
across the fields and over those mid
den fences to Grandma's. At least
she was Nora's grandma, and Nora
was the little cousin he was visiting.
So he called her grandma, too.
He was dressed at last, except for
a few buttons, and he went out into
the hall. The first person he saw
was stranger wearing a blue and
white dress under big apron, and
a perky cap on her head. Teddy felt
hostile at once. She did not look
Thanksgivingy. She stopped and
smiled kindly enough.
Your names Peter, isn't it," she

| asked. well, Peter, I've got some
bad news; the baby is sick with mea-
sles, and so you and Nora have got
to stay right here and not 60 to your
grandmas at all, for fear Of carrying
the germs. Nora ID down stairs al
ready. and Lizzie will give you your
breakfast. Your aunt won't leave the
room where the baby is. Now be as
good and quiet as you can"
He stared at her, outraged. 1t was
too dreadful to believe. She slid into
the baby's room and closed the door,
and he went down stairs feeling numb
all over.
There at little table sat Nora.
She was just his age, and she wore
her bushy light brown hair just like
his. She looked at him, and CULVER
ed, but tried to be brave.
"Will you sit down with me at
this little tablet" she said politely.
The big one won't be set for long
time, Lizzie says. Measles are so
sure to go right through the family.
Perhaps we won't have any Christ
mas, either she gulped.
I'm going right home,' declared
Teddy, Pumping himself into h chair.
I'VE always have turkey and things,
and you've made me come all the
way up here just for nothing"
Its just as hard for me-" remon-
strated Nora; land, anyway, you've
seen the anow."

esting," he cried.
And then there is me to play

ing his chair very rudely from the
table and selling newspaper as If

Nora put her head down and cried
and neither child ate the nice break
fast Lizzie had cooked. Presently
Nora got up and weht into her play
room next door, while Teddy sulked
She tied on an apron and pretended
she was a trained nurse, and then
put her pet doll to bed with measles.
While she was holding a spoon Of
medicine to its lips the big tabby cat
came in, and Nora seized her and
tucked her into the other dolls bed
and ladled out spoonful Of the same
dark mixture for her. When Nora
tried to pour 1t down her throat she
gave a terrible splutter and sneezed
so loud that Teddy ran to the door
and began to laugh.

handing him the bottle. 1T is Chin

When that cat heard the word

was coming and she tried to jump up
in bed and get ready to defend her
self. The children laughed and push
ed her back onto the pillows, but

on her back and fled through door.
1t looked SO funny that the children
sat down on the floor and laughed
and laughed. They laughed SO hard
they did not hear the Jingle Of sleigh
bells until the sleigh was right In
front Of the house. Then they jump
ed up and flew to the window. There
stood sleigh, with pumpkins hanging
like fringe around It.
Get your hats and coats and take
a ride" said one of their neighbors,
who had heard about the measles
and was sorry for them.
What a ride they had! There were
no roads left, so they flew across the
fields, and once, in turning quickly to
avoid the outstanding post Of fence,
the sleigh tipped over. and Teddy and
Nora rolled out in the snow. That
was the most fun of all.
When at last they reached home
they were very hungry.
81 suppose there is nothing to eat"
Teddy sulked again as they opened
the dining room door on the way to
the kitchen.
What do you suppose they saw? A

and nuts, in the middle of the big Ia.

Just have the happiest Thanksgiving
you ever had!"
And so they did. They ate a lot
of everything they liked best. A
great wood fire spluttered on one side
ready to pop corn later. Then Nora
took Teddy out and taught him how
to coast on her flexible flyer.
