INTENSIVE FARMING
 ON THE SOUTH SIDE
Careful Study of Science of Vegetable Gardening Results in Big Pro-
 fits for Growers

The science of vegetable gardening is occupying the attention of quite number of the residents of the south side The experience of Japanese gardeners living on the Lehi bottom lands has been an object lesson to many of the farmers of the Mesa section. For several years the Ori- entals have paid rent on land ana devoted the ground entirely to cultl- vating the various vegetables that make up a large part of the table menu of rich and poor alike. Harper Bros. are also successful growers or garden truck. and now maintain place of business in Mesa where ve- getables are delivered daily from their farms. Out in the dry" belt, also such men as Pernel Barnett, Germann and Ingram have demonstrated that
 there is wealth in vegetables, If pro-
 per attention is given to their cultl-
 vation.
 One of the Japanese ranchmen, S.
 IshikaWa, makes a speciality Of grow ing celery. and last season his re- turns were in excess of five hundred
 dollars per acre, and the celery ls pronounced by local experts as su- perior to anything shipped in iron : the coast. He will clean up abou s4OO per acre this year and is max
 ing no complaint about hard times.
 At Gilbert the farmers have abou three acres in lettuce this winter ana if the result is as favorable as the, g now have reason to anticipate, ther [. will probably be fully one hundre y acres planted next season, for snip n ment to the outside markets.

Friendly Fish,

A curious instance of tho familiarity Of fishes with human beings has been observed in Portland, Ore. at the Unt ted States barge office. The official boat is kept at the end of the wharf Some time ago one of the boatmen began to notice fish about eight inches long, and resembling a carp that seemed to wish to scrape acQuain' tance. The fish would come up to tha top of the water whenever the man ap peared, and did not seem to be at all afraid. After time all the men got to know the fish; and began to take friends to see him. At first he might not be In sight, but he would very soon appear and trisk around near tho surface. Once or twice Ee has come so close as to rub his nose against the boatman's hand, and the men ara waiting further developments.

6a,0GO LAWS, 65,0OO DECISIONS.

The ability to stay out of jail is getting harder all the time. A net work of law is being spun that is staggering to contemplate.
 q had a count made not l2ng ago in the library of congress-" says Elihu Root, "of the number of laws that had been passed in five years. l found that more than 62,00O laws had been passed Dy congre ss and tne state legislatures ill this country i'll that five years, and l found that there had been reported during that five years ant published ill 63O voium Of re- ports more than 65,000 decisions of courts of last resort ill this country. How can you conduct your business and keep out of jail?'
 It's beyond the ken of man, but it is done somehow, probably because few pay the siight-st attention to those laws and decisions, and hardly anybody-even the best judges anu lawyers in ts the country attempt to follow all of them.
 Of the grinding out of laws there IS no end They come near being the cheapest thing in the country, and the majority of them are never enforced.
 That's the worst of it. They should begin enforcing them. This would engender such an outcry that most of them would be repealed.

Sea MoS9.

This term Is popularly applied to any of the Polyzoa, which are com. pound marine animals, several of which share common horny skele ton, or polyzoary, which is plant-like in form. According to the bureau of fisheries, several hundred thousand pounds of these skeletons have been imported annually from Europe, chief. y from France and Germany. for dec- orative and millinery purposes, and the supply has now been practically cut of by the war. It therefore seems opportune to develop domestic in- dustry. as sea mosses, probably eqNal ln quality to those heretofore import ed, are said to be abundant on oer coasts. especially in New England. Those with large bushy fronds are tho most valuable.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 23-"Refuse to give life, if the men who are the heads of nations refuse to end wars, which take the lives the women give"
 This epitomizes the call made to Wamen of warning nations ill an in- teryiew given by Mrs. Marion Craig Wentworth, internationally famous woman feminist.
 ''Women have the power to say whether peace or war shall prevail, y said Mrs. Wentworth. "A sex strike of million women would mako war by the United States or any other country absolutely impossible. Wo- men hold the gift of life ill their hands, and they have the right to re- fuse the gift of,life if it is to be sacri- feed to the war god.''
 Mrs. Wentworth is the author of the playlet, War Brides" which preached the doctrine of sex strike.
