AIdine Editions,

The introduction Of the sloping Ro-
man letters which are known to every
body as italics was made by Aldus
Manutius of Venice in the latter part
Of the fifteenth century. He was the
most famous printer Of Italy and per
haps of the world The books he
printed, known as Aldine editions. are
much sought after by collectors. His
first volume in the new type was a
vergil published in 1901 at the price of
about 2 shillings Of our money. AL
dus, in fact, was the pioneer Of cheap
literature.
The Aldine mark is dolphin twined
about an anchor with the name
"Aldys" II any reader. says Mr.. j. A.
Hill in the Imprint, finds a CARLOAD
of old books with this mark In his
attic or lumber room, he is duly ad-
vised not to use them for lighting the
fire. They would probably buy him a
good annuity for the solace Of his de-
clining years.

The Flndlnc Of Omar.

It was tho late Mr.. Bernard Qua
ritch's father who published FitzGer-
aids "Omar," and, finding that the
thing didn't sell, he relegated 1t to the
penny box. Its subsequent success
was due to fortunate accident. Two
friends of Rosseth came across the
poem and thought 1t worth reading.

to Swinburne. What followed Swim.

but the man at the stall asked two

A. AND M. OFFICIALS
HAVE RETURNED.
Attended an Important Meeting of the
National Experiment Station
Workers.

Officials of the Texas Experiment
Stations have returned to the A. and
M. College after two weeks spent in at
tendance at meeting of the National
Experiment Station Workers in Wash
ington, d. C. B. Youngblood, director
of experiment stations; A. B. Conner,
agronomist to experiment stations; DR..
G. S. Traps, State chemist and chemist
to the Texas experiment stations, and
w. L. Boyett, State feed inspector, ac-
companied by his wife, constituted the
Texas party at these meetings.
Problems vitality affecting expert
ment station work were considered at
these meetings and new ideas were
gained. Mr.. Youngblood told of the
rapid development of the sub-station
idea in Texas in his address before
the station workers.
DR.. Traps, as president Of the
American Association of Official Ag-
ricultural Chemists, delivered the well
come address before that gathering,
and spoke of the value of agricultural
chemistry. DR.. Traps heard reports on
a number of important experiments
and made report on investigational
work conducted by J. B. Rather, as
sistant chemist at the station here and
an alumus of the A. and NJ. College.
Testing Chemical Reagents" was the
title of this address.
1t was announced during DR.. Traps
stay in Washington that his book on
Agricultural Chemistry" recently pub
lished had been adopted as the official
chemistry by the A. and NJ. Colleges of
Mississippi and Virginia.

IrlaIs Of ComposItors.

upon he laid down his composing stick,
put on his coat and hat and vanished.
Balzac's copy was also a nightmare
to competitors. According to the Lon
don Standard, the failure Of the estab-
lishment that printed his works was
the direct result Of the enormous labor
spent in making corrections in the
proofs of his manuscript. What 10
meant to put his copy into type is
shown by the fact that Cesar Birot-
teau" had to be reset fifteen times In
twenty days.

CALIFORNIA PRODUCTS PURE
The purity and the superiority of
the food products of California manu-
facture over many of those introduced
from other points was the subject OF
an address made by Prof. NJ. e. jana,
head of the department Of chemistry
in the University of California, before
a large body of manufacturers re-
Gently.
His remarks were made with par
ticular reference to the nutritive values
of food stuffs, either In the raw or
manufactured state. as produced in the
various sections of the United States
and the world The quality of the
California soil was pronounced by the
speaker to be unique in that 1t was
naturally excessively rich in those
properties that are necessary to hardy
and healthy plant life. On the other
hand the other sections of the United
States were cited as lacking very
necessary elements In their soils for
plant growth. These elements had to
be added by costly processes.
Professor Jaffa called attention to
the hygienic conditions In manufacture
that obtain in California, due to a.
considerable extent to the splendid cli-
matte conditions. The experimental
tests conducted by his laboratory into
the California manufactured products
were described to show that an ex-
ceptional degree of purity and excel
lence, as well as proper representa-
ton, obtained in the products and prac-
tices of the California factories.

CLUBWOMEN JOIN IN
COLLECTING LABELS

Collecting Call labels as a substi-
tute for charity work as social ac-
tivity of the San Francisco clubwomen
Is the latest outgrowth of the state
wide campaign to increase the manu-
featuring enterprises and the number
Of wage earners In California being
conducted by The Call.
Mrs. G. NJ Bernhard of 20 Hill street,
a prominent San Francisco clubwoman,
deserves the credit of this novel inno-
walton in home industry endeavor. She
Is enthusiastic on the subject of buy
ing goods made in California and has
converted the basement OF her home
into veritable exhibit room of CAL
ifornia manufactured products.
1T Is better to give a man work
than aims" she says, "and I believe
that the practice of buying the prod
ucts of our factories is the surest and
quickest corrective for charity. In
stead OF humiliating a man or his
family by making him an eleemosy-
nary subject, 1t Is better to provide
him with work and a wage through
the medium OF increased factory pro-
duction.'
Mrs. Bernhard has presented her
plan to a great number of women
organizations and she has met with
no opposition. The idea has been en-
Enthusiastically received in most In
stances and committees have been ap-
pointed to go into the subject fully.
Mrs. Bernhard has notified the Home
Industry league that a. number of So
ciety leaders are seriously discussing
making the practice of home industry
an important field of social labor.
Il have brought the subject to the
attention of hundreds of women" said
Mrs. Barnhard. '.and have been most
agreeably surprised that when the
matter was explained q very lively In
terest is manifested. The women want
to know how they can help. They seem
to be at sea upon this particular fea-
ture. They are always amazed at the
great loss of revenue sustained by the
California manufacturers because peo-
pie buy products made elsewhere
When I point out to them that they
are helping make dull times at home
whenever they buy an outside article
they at once see the subject in q new
light and are very eager to do some
thing to change the conditions.
II invariably refer them to The
Calls label page, which appears every
Monday. / honestly believe that The
Call is doing most patriotic work,
and one that is destined to bring CAL
ifornia to the front as a manufactur
ing state. The label page should be
read by every housewife. 1t practi-
cally means the welfare of the familys S
bread winners. IL the housewives of
California wish to improve the condi-
tions of their husbands and children
they can do SO in no more direct man.

Participation in The Calls label
gathering campaign in the interests
OF the factories and factory workers
of California has tended to develop
an interest in, actual conditions sur
rounding manufacturing In California
and In the movement for the patron
age or the state products.
To satisfy this interest The Call
will endeavor to print items Of inter-
est concerning the activities of the
Home Industry league throughout the
state. On the other hand the league
has agreed to carry the message of
The Calls label collecting campaign
into the distant corners of California.
Already many thousands have en-
tered the campaign of The Call as a
result of the active work of the Of
icers, directors and commissioners OF
the Home Industry league. Speakers
of the organization have addressed
mass meetings In various sections OF
the state, and the principal feature of
the talks has been the explanations
of the label campaign.
THE Call is giving you prizes and
premiums worth money in exchange
for labels saved from goods of Cali
fornia manufacture" said DR.. C.. ".

the public of the sound principles un-

C. II. Workman of the Workman
Packing company was the second rep
resentative of the Home Industry
league to speak. He urged the resi-
dents OF Napa to enter the campaign

small labor they would win valuable

In this respect a subject OF COM
ment was that The Call proposes to re-
ward everybody who collects labels,
without regard to the energy dis
played in the work. The campaign
was not competitive, and for this rea-
son all workers could feel the assur-
ance that their labors would not be in
vain

Tall Trimminas ON Millinery

According to the Dry Goods Econo-
mist tall trimmings continue the
rage and in some of the imported
models this idea is carried almost to
the point of absurdity. Among the
most effective models now being
shown in which the tall trimming idea
is employed is a black Milan sailor
with the brim gently rolled at the left
side. A tiny fringe of black goura
outlines the brim and from the edge
of the brim at the left shoots upward
tall black goura aigrette bent at
the top in loop form. The tall trim
ming idea is also strongly emphasized
in this market. Question marks of
feathers. ribbons. cords. etc. long
pointed sleeves. fat spear-like orna-
ments of velvet and of various fancy
silks. aigrettes of small flowers close
ly packed together. and long spike
like jet ornaments are all utilized in
this fashion

SPREAD MANURE
DURING WINTER
Relief Is EXpresSod Best Time to
500 tiIi1er IS Soon
IS Pa e.

We believe that there is but one
best time to scatter manure. and that
/ is as soon as possible We do not save
/ up the manure from spring to fall
nor from fall to spring for any pet
theory. Manure is a very valuable
product. yet the less time and labor
spent in handling it the more profit
there is and the more it is handled
between the stable and the field the
less real fertility 1t will eventually
contain.
Last fall we CHANGED upon a GER
tain farmer who was hauling out his
summers collection of manure, and
was carefully piling it all over the
field in piles. says writer in an ex-
change. We went over TO find out his
reason for doing 1t instead of scat
tering directly. He said he always
thought manure did the most good
when scattered directly before spring
breaking. and he wanted II piled UP
during the winter so II would not be
gone by spring by freezing, washing
and bleaching. He didn't like the idea
OF it's being piled all in one big heap
and being scattered in the spring eth
or. but wanted it piled In smaller
heaps so he could scatter more easily
and save loading again. Then he had
read Of how manure lost so much Of
its value in heating or burning out
shat. although he used to pile it In
bigger heaps. he now made smaller
piles.
Really the man had caught faint
inklings of the advanced methods and
made just this one step forward
Probably the smaller heap will not
fire as badly as the larger heap yet
how much and labor he could have
saved II he had scattered the manure
directly instead OF piling II up In the
field. Experience has proven TO us
that freezing is the finest thing in
the business to put the manure I'm
shape for the spring crops. No nitro
gen or other valuable elements are
lost in this way
