In the City Dreaming
 of the Country Home
est. Paul Pioneer Press)

How big city looks to legislator from LII state is told by Representative Knud Wefad in letter to his home paper" How the noise of tf city makes him lonesome; how he misses the dog cry and the sight of lambs and calves jumping al told with candor. He wrote:
 It is quite a change This thing of loaf ing whole day at a time is something The noise, hum and almost drives a person crazy begin with. The hotel and roomng house air chokes the bakers bread poisons me; and this looking against high and dirty stone waiis makes fellow stupid. It is a dreary trast to the far-reaching view of covered white and beautiful rolling prairie, with its invgorating air. l cannot how people tie themselves down to live in city, with all the modern veniences they have that in the villages and the farm do not have. A steady of human beings goes surging and seethng up and down the narrow streets. in and of the doors of the dirty black and brown buildings. It reminds me of ants and ant heaps. I can no more under stand the commoton here than when a child l could understand why the ants busy.
 I understand why the finer sentiments and feelings of the soul being constantly ground man in the big treadmils of civilization. Childhood and innocence do not fit into surroundings far removed from They only and thrive where grass grows and flowers bloom, where birds sing where dogs bark, where kittens play, where lambs and calves jump, and where colts the earth shakes and trembles, where lakes smile and rivers go murmuring along, where sunrise kisses them good morning and sun set finds them in their evening prayer. It is better so, When learn to derstand it. there is poetry in the immutable unchangeable laws of Nature

A Government Warninq

We print elsewhere this morning a bulletin issued by the department of agriculture, warning especially the farmers the Salt River valley against great enthusiasm in the matter plant ing Egyptian cotton. The bulletin acknowledges that experience has given be enthusi- astic. The success of the crop and the profitable of it in this valley have beef assured
 The danger, the bulletin points out, is in plant ing too large acreage to be handled. It suggests the development of the Egyptian cotton growing industry side by side with the development of trained labor supply for handling the crop. The department believes that the Indians be trained for this purpose that the acreage be gradually extended. It further suggests that than 5000 should be planted this season
 This is a matter that has already received attention of the local At the beginning the last the labor problem given con- sideration Though only little than 400 acres planted the growers somewhat appre- hensive in the face of almost entire absence of trained labor. Yet, when the time came, the labor developed and the crop was gathered without loss.
 It is understood by growers that with the expanding of the acreage there will always be labor problem but it is their intention that the expansion shall be gradual. The safety limit of 5000 acres, fixed by the department will not be passed this It is stated that more than 2000 acres of Egyptian cotton will be planted this the success of the industry last year. plant

She was picking the grapes which had been left the vine in her vine yard after the fall gathering, when the policeman told that she committing offense against the law, all grapes left the vines after the harvest were the property of the poor The court at Beziers confirmed the pocemans opinion, and the woman convicted
