HAPPENED IN BOSTON

Little Wendell Holmes Emerson of Boston was resting sedately with his book in the park shortly after din- Ter. He had eaten too much He knew perfectly well he had eaten too much and he was surprised and shocked at himself. He hoped fer Vently that no one would notice his condition. Just then a kindly old lady appeared and sat down beside him.
 "Ah,' thought Wendell q have sadly shocked her aesthetic sensibili- ties"
 By this time the kind old lady was firmly settled. My little boy said she, "are you over eight?"
 It was wonderful to see how the young MT. Emerson recovered his dignity That q woman with such outlandish grammar should dare to criticise him was unbelievable. No. madam. said he, proudly, 'I have overeaten.' n.''-NationaI Monthly.

The Government and It's Branches

It highly important this time that inter ested persons recognize certain facts. the most which is that executive and legislative branches of the government Idinate. though constitution gives that encroach upon the functions of other least, interfere witt. the discharge O those functions For instance, extra sessions of legislature while the executive branch may direct or legislation, it can prevent or restrict legislation
 At the tme while the legislative branch cannot control the conduct executive branch, constitution gives it certain powers of restric that a powers of control. Thus. the governor is within his constitutional rights in limiting legislation this session. He preventing any legislation badly might 5e needed.
 Likewise the legislature would be within its legal, if moral rights, withholding any legislation. however badly needed might be, and would within legal rights n imposing such restrictions and inconvenences upon the admin istration empowered by legislation.
 All this elementary and plain that it seems hardly worth while mention it and would do hut for the apparent misappre hension both sides of the legislature that one branch other subordinate the other. rather than that it is co-orlinate with the other.
 But the thing to be realized is that both branches the government subordinate to the government itself which is the administration or the legislature both of them combined. but the people who have chosen both the legislature and the administration.

PIGS IN MEDFORD

Among the lighter incidents of the week may be noted the pig hunt in which the citizens of Medford were called upon to engage in order to catch 1000 pigs released during marsh fire that threatened their pens. Nearly 100 men and boys volunteered to relieve the town of the epidemic of pigs, and the result spoke well for the agility of the Medford citizen ry. The tally of the roundup showed 999 pigs or 9.99 pigs apiece a highly creditabe score as any one who has pursued the escaped porker can tes- tify
 Mucgh as We may admire the nim- ble hunters. however. even more ad- miration is due the 1O00th pig. He is evidently d pig of peculiar energy and ambition There would seem to be 9 bit of the razorback about him and it is pleasant to think that he may be an alien among the effete pigs of New England-a naughty southerner afire with the spirit of freedom.
 The incident calls to mind the in genuity of the Kansan who trapped a number of mettlesgome rattlesnakes and patiently trained them to act as a fire brigade for the protection of his home. It was in the days when the farmer had to be constantly ready to sally forth and blow fire break around his house to prevent on coming prairie fires from reaching it. So successfully did this kansan train the intelligent razorbacks that when they perceived distant prairie fire they would gallop out in fanwise for nation, insert their noses in the Kansas soil and at the flip e
 leaders tail forge ahead, blowing substantial firebreak in a wide circle around the hous and barns. An all advised attempt to induce the pigs to undertake the prosaic task of cul- tivating the land for corn so offended the sensitive animals that they shipped aboard a passing cyclone one night and were never seen again. Perhaps it is a descendant of one of these spir-
 ted porl<ers that has defied the town of Medford.-Springfie Republican.

FARMERS ID MEET ON
 PRODUCE PROPOSITION

A joint meeting of the farmers of
 will be held in the Fowler school house on Monday evening for the pur- pose of discussing the question of the United Producers association stock subscription and to obtain as much material help from that quarter as possible. This meeting is but the forerunner of other farmers meetings that will be held in the immediate future, the object of Which will be identical with the Cartwright Fowler meeting.
 Interest in the organization is growing apace. Already many com munications from both the east and the coast have been received by the officers of the organization wishing to aid in all possible ways and of ferng the benefit of past experience in the problems that will have to
 be met by that institution.
 some of these letters go even fur ther than that and want right now to make arrangements for handling the products of the valley in those sections. It is evident from this that all that will be needed is to let the consumers know that the Salt River Valley produce, than which there is none better, can be obtained at such and such a place and at such and such q time to sell more of it than was thought possible. The Merchants and Manufacturers association, although nOmlnally back of the organization heretofore. in a recent meeting gave a ringing en- dorsement of the organization and promised as substantial and material help as has been forthcoming from the Rotary club and similar organi- cations.
 The prospects for the organization are improving every day, according to those who are intimately concerned with the scheme, and indications are i for better feeling among the farm | CTS of this section in consequence.
