PreciouA

The corn crop of q certain West
ern county Is nearly a total failure
this year. One morning short time
ago a farmer took a sack and went to
his sixty-acre sweet-corn field to see
If he could find enough roasting ears
for a meal. In going over the field he
found that each ear had only couple
of rows of corn, so he cut the corn off
the cobs and had il cooked for dinner.
About dinner time young fellow
who lived near drove up, and the
farmer invited him to stay. At the
table he passed the corn to the young
man first, and the visitor took one
spoonful of corn and started to take
another, when the farmer stopped him
and said:
"Dont you think you are going
little strong on the corni"
The young man was very much en-
barrassed. "whyi" he stammered.
"Well, you have about fifteen acres
of corn on your plate now."
No Need to Fear.
Early one morning, on the second
day out, terribly seasick passenger,
pale and hollow-eyed, came out of his

PRESCOTT LIVE STOCK ASSO-
 CLAYTON AND GOOD ROADS
 CONVENTION TO MEET

The Prescott Live Stock Associa- ton will hold it's annual meeting at the Court House on Dec. 29th, beginn- ing at ten o'clock a. m. and continu- ing through the day. Following this meeting the Nevada County Good Roads Association will hold a session Tuesday night at seven o'clock and continue over Wednesday, Dec. 30th.
 These two meetings have been arr ranged for the same date to accomo- date people who come from distance. Every farmer in Nevada County ought to be interested in both these gatherings. There is nothing that is more helpful to the farmer than day or two spent with his neighbors study ing the questions that are vital to his welfare. Every community ought to have a call meeting and elect two or three delegates to the road conven- tion. Every citizen will be recogniz- ed whether he is delegate or not but your community might not be represented at all unless you do this. If there is Farmers Union in your community let the Union send dele gates.
 There is sure to be something doing at these meetings and you can't af- ford to miss them. If those present take some action that does not suit you and you are not there you can't complain afterward
