The state of California has had parole law most

prisoners paroled have afterwards committed crime

EASTERN SEED HOUSE IN
TERESTED IN CALDWELL

wired Olsen representative of N.
b: heeney q Son, wholesale growers
OF seed peas and beans, of lie Roy, N
T.. has made trips to the Caldwell
territory in the last few weeks, in
I'vestigating conditions governing the
growing of seed beans and has report
ed that prospects for the success of
TINS crop appear most encouraging
and has decided to put out trial
acreage this year.
MIR. Olsen states that providing
enough responsible farmers appear
DESTROYS of giving the crop fair test
ne Will put out a few hundred acres.
But wants the acreage confined to the
Wilder, Greenleaf, Huston, Notus and
Riverside districts so that the thresh-
ing can be done without too much
travelling.
The proposition made by the COM
pany is to furnish the farmer the
seed, in time for planting, furnish the
bags to contain the crop at thrcsbinq
time and taking the crop from the
farmer when threshed, paying a price
OF "a cents per pound on green pod
cd varieties and AZ cents per pound
on wax podded varieties. Mr.. Olsen
states that he makes numerous and
frequent trips to their growing dis
tricts to advise with their growers.
further particulars can be had by
calling on w. T. Mccall. the county
land agent, Mr.. H. A. Ireland, the
government agent, or Mr.. M. H. Glib
6ons, secretary of the Commercial
IIno' These gentlemen all have been
advised of the particulars and hold
copies of the contracts and will CO.
operate with the farmers and the seed
company in bringing the proposition
to a definite and speedy decision
winch must be done soon owing to the
spring weather creeping on.
Any farmers interested in this pro-
position should call on one of these
gentlemen soon and decide what thew
want to do so that the reports can he
made to Mr., Olsen and the final ar
engagements made.

CHARLEY CHAPLINS SALARY.

1t is stated good authority that Charlie Chaplin is to
get salary of $4,000 week for 81 weeks and in add
ton check for $5OOO0 signing the contract-in all
100000 year. The figures impressive. There is
probably not professional in the world who can
that much money annually. There are few business
who have such earning power There few rulers
who get as much-the salary Of the president of the
United States is $4,000 per year. little one-nnh as
much All this apropos of the fact that the world is
willing pay we'll for what it wants. 1t wants amuse-
ment Charlie Chaplin furnishes brand of amusement
that appeals to the patrons of motion picture shows The
consequence the prncey salary of 100000 per year.
Charlie Chaplin, of motion pictures is very medi-
man, and that is nothing his discredit You who
not drawing such a salary and there millions of
may find consolation in the fact that your forte has
not been found-your opportunity has arrived In
III pre- liability will arrive but that does not de-
tract from your inherent greatness.

reachonary We have noted that the progressive of one
day is the reactionary of the and vice versa
For some years that faction of the Democratic
party commonly called the Nugen faction has posed as
the progressive faction and has gotten away with it simply
because nobody considered worth while to question the
pose we note with some amusement that this faction at
TINS time is very reactonary in its tendency prefer
