The drought in Kansas and Neb-
raska has been so extreme of late that
cattle have been unable to find pastur-
age and an offer went out from Wis
consin to place many thousands of
head of the Kansas stock upon the
luxuriant pasture lands of this stats
and, if desired follow with feeding
that would fit them in prime shape
for the Chicago market. Rains in
the west have at last come, however,
and the drought is broken, SO the
Wisconsin offer will not be accepted.
With our fine pastuTage and every in
dicatiOn of a tremendous corn crop,
farmers should find it very profitable
to buy the thin beeves, now so plenti-
full in the market centers, and fatten
them for the winter market as an
Investment

The California verdict of guilty in
the case of Maury Digs, who in COM
pany with another young married
man, Drew Caminetti, induced two
young Sacramento girls to flee with
them to Reno on the promise of mar
riage as soon as they could obtain
divorces from their wives, is a salts
factory one. In Reno they leased a
fat and lived as married couples until
the law stepped in and put an end to
their RIGHTEOUSNESS. Owing to the
prominence of the men and their
families the trial of these men was
ordered delayed by President Wilson s
attorney general, and but for the
publicity and aroused public senui-
ment that resulted from the forced
resignation of the California district
attorney who demanded immediate
trial, the probabilities are that the
matter would have been hushed up
and soon forgotten. Caminetti g
father is solicitor of immigration in
the present administration and it is
charged that political influence was
almost successful in sQuelching pros
ecution. Diggs has not yet been
sentenced and Caminetti' 8 trial is still
unfinished. They both deserve severe
punishment.

The Newspaper Job.

Many people believe that newspa-
per falls together without work or
concerted action or plan. Rev. Nc
Leod, a Presbyterian minister of Pas
adena was of that opinion and asked
to be allowed TO edit an edition of the
Pasadena Star. The editor gladly &C.
copied the opportunity to go fishing,
and the minister took up his duties in
the newspaper Office. This is how he
felt when he found himself at the end
of the task, which it must be said,
had been done quite creditably.
MY time is almost up as l pen
this last line; my hand is almost
paralyzed, my brain is befuddled,
and [ am free to confess that | am
right glad to vacate the holy spot
Such rush and riot and dissrray.
Such tumble of potpourri it strikes
me as the effort to bring order out of
chaos, and to DO it lightning quick
81 am reminded of the memorable
words: The earth was without form
and void, and darkness was upon the
face of the waters. Never shall /
criticise newspaper men more l
shall pray for them. They will have
my hearts forbearance henceforth and
forever. They are the hardest work

ours. Publishers Auxiliary.

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experiences.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hungry
nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as TO
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense Of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind OF food
or eat too much, and there you are
indigestion and its accompanying mis-
cries.
