Carl Raab, l.. A. Leavitt and F.
I H. Stanton, large land owners here,
have been in the valley the past two
weeks making arrangements for the
improvement of several hundred ac-
res of their holdings. They drove in
by way of Imperial valley in Ford
car and left this week by way of
Mecca.
George Ronald has just finished
harvesting a small field of corn
which yielded 55 bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Ronald has thoroughly disprov-
ed the general idea that field corn
cannot be raised successfully in this
valley. His corn was of a white dent
variety and was planted early in the
summer. The greater number of the
stalks carried two well-formed ears
and many had three.
J. o.. Phillips came in from Pres
colt last Saturday with his auto
which he had been forced to aban-
don while on his vacation trip this
summer because of washouts. He was
accompanied by Harvey Hall. The
rain throughout Arizona made it hard
for them to follow the road in some
places and they spent several hours
off the main highway before they
could get their bearings again
An auto party including Neil Hinck
ley and e. e. Schellinger was sent
over into the Chuckawalla valley last
week when the report reached here
that three tourists were lost in that
district, having abandoned their ma
chine when it stuck in the sand At
ter two days absence the search par
ty returned with the news that the
stranded autoists had been picked up
before they suffered any great dis
comforts and were taken into Ran
nells.

Cement and Concrete.

Worlds Work makes clear the diff
ference between cement and concrete
as follows: I'm the first place, Port
land cement is a manufactured prod
uct obtained from lime rock and clay,
or similar aluminous raw materials Its
preparation involves drying, burning
and grinding, in order that, when fin
ished, it shall be in the form of a light
gray powder or flour. This powder is
of such exceeding fneness that the
grains thereof may be made to pass
through sieve containing forty thou
sand holes to the square inch of sur
face. Modelled into any desirable form,
cement shows high crushing resist
ance, together with high tensile
strength. 1t will sustain almost any
load without injury to itself, showing
no cracks or other elements of decay
that attack other materials. Concrete
implies the use of cement in conjunc-
ton with sand and crushed rock, and
in such proportions as will develop the
highest value of the cement for practic-
al purposes, at the same time bringing
it within the range of buyers who do
not wish to employ Portland cement.
Reinforced concrete means the use of
concrete in conjunction with steel so
placed as to contribute the tensional
value of the steel to the total mass.
Columns thus constructed will sustain
almost any concentrated burden and
are being extensively used in engineer
ing.

How Printers Get Rich.

A great many persons have often
wondered how editors all get rich so
quickly and with such small effort.
One of them who has grown rich has
at last told the secret of it. He out
lines it as follows:
A nursery firm will send US a 25-cent
rosebush for only S. worth of adver-
Using
For running a six-ineh advertisement
for one year we can obtain a gross of
pills.
About one dozen firms are wanting
to give US shares in gold mines for adj
vertising.
For $40 worth of advertising and s25
cash we can own bicycle. The wheel
sells for just $l2
A fellow out west wants US to run a
lot of advertising for him for nothing,
and if it brings good results he may be-
come steady customer.
For running So worth of locals we get
haiI uozeh tickets to every show that
comes along.
A gun firm wants US to run Sl9 worth
of advertising and then send 81 in ex-
change for shot gun. Such q gun
would retail at about S..
BY running $50 worth of advertising
and sending $25 to an Atlantic City
firm, we will be given a deed to a lot.
We have learned the lot would be all
right were it not for the tide. When
the tide is in the lot stands six feet
under water.
The doctor usually gets a crack at a
fellows pocketbook before he dies and
the undertaken receives from SIS to
$3.50 for burying him; the editor prints
an extended obituary notice about him
for nothing and sometimes gets 25
cents for a card of thanks.
These are few of the explanations
offered in accounting for an editors
wealth.

REUBEN GOLD INMATES.

Reuben Gold Thwaites, who died last
week, has done much to make known,
through his writings, the charm and
romance and antiquity of the early his
tory of Wisconsin and the rest of the
old Northwest Territory. He has writ
ten several popular histories and he
edited one monumental work an Eng
hsh translation of the jesuit Relations,
which form the chief basis of our
knowledge Of the early period of the
French regime in this section, Since
1856 he has been executive head of the
Wisconsin State Historical society.
Receiving his training largely under
the tutelage of his predecessor, the
late Lyman c. Draper, who was an in
defatigable collector Of historical man
userpts and records, Mr. Thwaites has
steadily pursued the policy of enlarg-
ing this treasure storehouse. The re-
suit Of the efforts Of these two men is
that the Wisconsin State Historical
society, which means the state for
which II acts as a trustee -p0ssesses a
collection Of original manuscripts and of
copies Of archives and other authorita-
tive first sources" that is famed
throughout the whole civilized world.
Mr, Thwaites was a student, scholar
and writer Of unquestionable ability.
His life, now so suddenly ended, was
full of works of a very useful and val
liable character

Leaves and the Lawns.

A recent suggestion made by one
correspondent that leaves be left on
the lawns for the enrichment they may
add to the soil, causes another CORE
spondent to address a brief note to the
editor asking why fine lawns do not
grow in the woods where the leaves
are never disturbed ?" Here is a fine
chance for an argument, we admit, and
there is evidently something to be said
on both sides Of the question. The
whole thing may be summed up, how
ever, in the statement that fine lawns
meaning thick luxuriant grass - do
not grow anywhere without careful
preparation, proper seeding and period
ical soil enrichment. Old leaves I'M
questionably make an excellent fertiliz-
er, although if left on the ground too
thickly they have a tendency to Kill
out the grass. OF course, they should
be raked up in the spring, after their
juices have nourished the grass roots.
and if they can then be piled in some
corner they decompose
in about a season and furnish vegeta-
bic mold that makes valuable dressing
for lawn or garden. To burn the
leaves, as so many DO, is undoubtedly a
serious mistake.

millionaires than New York state; 625

SIo0, 900, against 300 in New York.
New York city is the banking center
of the country, the home of Wall street.
Also it is a place to which men gravi-
tate, after they become very rich. That
the number of New York rich men
should be exceeded by Pennsylvania, is
pretty surprising. Any deductions
from these figures must, Of course, be
very general But isn't it fair to infer
that millionaires are made faster by
the protective tariff than even by bank

ted-he is BOSS!
An attorney in the municipal court
was examining juror to determine
whether he was qualified TO serve, and
the lawyer asked many questions. He
wanted to know whether the Juror
knew what reasonable doubt is and he
consumed much time in asking many
questions. Finally he got down to the
question of bias and prejudice.
"Can you define bias % the attorney

Judge Clementson, at this question,
sat up and raised hand.
mir. Attorney" he said, the Juror
will not answer that question. Cues
tions of that sort are frivolous and you
are only taking up the time of the
court. There is no reason why this
juror should define bias If about half
of the attorneys were asked to define
the word they would have to run to the
dictionary.
The judge proceeded to examine the
jurors himself and in about thirty
minutes twelve men were sworn in.
Court procedure in Wisconsin needs
but little revising" says Judge Glenn
entson. IF the courts will see that
there are no delays for unnecessary
reasons court business may be disposed
Of with dispatch. Attorneys are al
lowed to ask too many foolish ques-
tons, They take up too much time
with irrelevant and immaterial ques-
tions.
''All of this is only habit of the at
torneys and if they are held down by
the court they will proceed as rapidly
as one could desire.
I'm my district we haven't time to
waste in that way. Our juries are
farmers mostly and they are always
anxious TO get out of court and back to
their work And we try to see that
they are not detained longer than nee
essary and The best way to do this is
to curb the attorneys.
Judge Clementson is II. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1868 and in 1872
was elected judge. In point of service
