TALE OF 2 IEwELRY STORES
ore Merchs mt Lest Business and
Closed Up While the Other Pros
pered and Became Famous.

Once upon a time a man rented
store and stocked 1t with fake jew
eIry. Then he bought large advertis-
ing space in the city papers and print
ed big advertisements Of the 1ewelry
he had for sale. And people came
and bought and went away, but did
not come again. And they said moth
ing to their neighbors about the jew
elry they had bought, for they were
ashamed OF It. But some were wroth
and made much talk to everyone
they met, and called the merchant
hard names, and threatened to do him
bodily injury because Of the worthless
jewelry he had sold them. But others.
not knowing OF this, saw the advertise
ments and came and bought and went
away and joined the company Of
knockers. And 30 It happened that
when there were SUFFICIENT knockers
the merchants business langulshed
and he closed his store and departed
for parts unknown.
But another merchant offered good
jewelry at fair prices, and few bought
Of him. But they came back. And
some told their friends and neighbors
of the good jewelry they had bought
and where they had bought it. And
they were not ashamed. So 1t hap
pened that when the boosters became
numerous, and the knockers few, the
merchants trade waxed great and he
prospered exceedingly and his name
became famous throughout the land.
And men said, faith (based on adver-
tising) without works (service) Is
dead.--American Artisan and Hard
ware Record.

When Will F.'Phillips came to

think that by July LIST, 1913, he
weuld have soId'and planted 25O
acres OF grange land here, and that
he would have settled do@@ OF the
ranch as care taker and general
overseer.
But such is the case.
The Terra Bella Heights trect is
planted-all hut 80 acces-which
will e-set out nezt spring. zen OF
this unimproved land belengsto Mr..
Phillips who was SO busy locking
after other peoples affairs that he
planted only half of his own 'hold-
ings this year.
One hundue3sand NINETY acres
solid have been-set in citrus fruits
by Mr.. Phillips on the Berra'Bella
Heights tract, which was formerly a
cart Of the Edward d. Halbert
holdings. Sixty acres more have
been planted by Mr.. Phillips for
Morrison Bros. in the German
colony tract 4, short distance-east,
making $50 sores in all.
It has been no.small task TO- Mr..
Phillips to get together E bunch OF
buy, rs, convipoe them that they
should developtheir ground immedi-
ately, look after the leveling, cult
waiting. and plaDting, the drilling Of
wells and installation OF pumping
plants and irrigation systems, and
doing the hundred and one odd Jobs
incident to the laCnching of htg
citrus pro9ect.
But the work has been done, sys-
tematically, economically and well.
The biggest single piece Of dtve- |
lopment this y ar intthe Terra Bella
district, If not in all of the early
orange belt in Tillsre county, is
credited to Will F. Phillips, WHO is
Just now beginning to take breath

early and late.
Most of the $50 acres have been
planted in ,navels, Mr. Phillips

SAVING THE COUNTRY.

Throughout the country there is going on campaign for i'm proved marketing, rural credit and co-operation. This cam- paign is assuming the propor- tions of a political campaign and even the changes in the tar if are being pushed into second place. Saving the nation is by no means a lost art, and the ora tor advocating reforms is get ting in his work. All this aGi- tation, however, is constructive and it will result in the proba- ble discovery of what the trou- bla is. There is as yet no very definite information as to whe- ther the trouble should be laid at the door of. the trusts,' the middlemen or our antlquated laws. Let us hope that the agl- tation, coupled with the work of the new bureau of rural organl- zation, will bring results.

PROBLEM OF ILLITERACY.

llliteracy in this country is a far more serious problem than most American people realize. The facts have recently been brought out showing that in the country districts the ratio of ll- literacy is greater than it is in the cities. What is to be done about it is the problem that the government is interested in just now. and some valuable work IS being done at this time. 1t does not seem like the wis" plan for us to wait for a generation of ilIitprateS to die off. It is stated that at ihe present time here are 5,5i5. .0OO illitrrate persons over the age of 10 years. This Is a mighty army. and while we are thinking of an educational test for immigrants We might stop and consider that the prnpor- tion of illiteratcs born of Amrrl- can parents is almost five times the proportion of iIIitrratrS born to foreign-b"rn parents.s A spc- cial schooling system for grown ups will have to be the solution of the problem without doubt. In addition tn this, the rural schools will have to be made more accessible and efficient.

Origin of Altar of Roses.

The preparation of the famous altar of roses seems to have been discovered by accident. From India we get the tradition. The favorite Sultana of Sehanghir caused bath of rosewater to be prepared for her use. The burning sun of India brought its might upon the bath prepared in the royal garden and soon globules of oil were found floating upon the fragrant water. Deeming the bath impure and at tempting to skim. off the film, the attendants broke the globules, and at once the garden was filled with fragrance.

 "I did come," said the mathema- tician, "but there was some mistake. You told me that you lived in a square, and I found myself in a parallelogram, so 1 went away again."
