People continue to die from typhoid
fever The acceptance of a new
thought is difficult feat for the av-
erage mind. The State furnishes free
the treatment that has proven almost
an absolute preventive of the disease.
But people go right on refusing to
accept the remedy. 1t is wonderfully
strange how hard are the heads of
some people.

hard to say, 81 wronged you and am

His Ignorance Was Profitable.

A writer says In Farm and Fireside:
Claude Mclaughlin of Montrose coun-
ty, Colo, made 1921 from alfalfa seed
from exactly two acres last year, en-
tirely by accident. This two acres OF
alfalfa was in its second years growth,
but was on new and unfertile land and
had been so starved for water that he
thought it not worth cutting for hay.
He therefore let it stand and contin-
ued without water, preferring to use
his irrigation water on what he
thought were more valuable crops. In
the early fall he noticed the alfalfa
had gone to seed, and there was sur
prisingly large amount of seed. So it
was cut and stacked and in March,
1916, threshed. He sold the seed and
got 1921 from the two acres. His Gull
ture was the proper thing to grow al
falfa seed. Have thin stand and irri-
gate just enough to keep it fresh, but
not to force the growth of rank stalks.
Then it will make good bloom and
much seed"

RILEY EASY TO UNDERSTAND
For That Reason There Is Glass
That Refuses to Recognize Him
as Great Poet.

Widely enjoyed and beloved, the
poetry of James Whitcomb Riley will
probably always in our lifetime en-
counter a species of objections in the
minds of many Americans. His poetry
sings. Its force is emotional. It's
sincere charm is absolute, and de-
ponds not at all on being something
like something else-on the audiences
recollection of Greek verse, or IA
miliarity with japanese art, or i'm
pressionistic landscape. To the kind
of reader for whom recognizable,
musical idea limits, instead of greatly
liberatiDg the communicative faculty
of poetry, to the kind of reader who
thinks of poetry as species of mere
tight-mouthed and cryptic prose, to
the kind of reader who is worried by
poets who will not give him, so to
speak, any reliable library references
for their inspiration-to such Ameri-
can readers as these James Whit
comb Riley's poetry must always
seem all wrong and misguided. Any
one can understand his songs. Peo-
pie have always been cutting them
out of the newspapers and reciting
them at ice-cream sociables and
church benefits. They are a part of
the national consciousness.-New Re-

And so we firmly believe you do feel.
We all hear II repeated that patriotism is
thing OF the past; that people have become
commercialized that the masses have no deep

India's Great Religious Fair.

was lately celebrated in India on q
grand scale. Its ceremonials are con-
nected with the, sea AID from early
morning multitudes of men and women
could be seen vending their way ocean,
ward to perform their sacred ablu-
tons. The arrivals had reached such
numbers by noon that the streets and
country roads were packed. There
were numerous booths and stalls to
accommodate the vast crowds, and
about p. m. the procession reached
the cotton market headed by ele-
plants richly caparisoned, and fol-
lowed by numerous native and military
bands, by infantry, Arab chowkidars,
and mounted police, while string of
carriages occupied by state officials
brought up the rear. The Maharaja
Sahib was driven in a carriage and
four down to the saashore to worship
the deity who presides over the waves.
The procession was one mile long and
the ceremonies did not break up till
midnight.
