SN|VELY SAYS RICE
SHOULD GROW WELL

According TO H. d. Snively, a rice
grower of Richville, Calf, there is
no reason why rice could not be
grown in the Rogue river valley with
fine profit for the growers, says
the Mail Tribune. Mr.. Sniveley ar
rived in the city yesterday with a
sheaf of rice which he placed on ex-
hibition at the commercial club
rooms.
"You have ideal soil here for rice
growing said Mr.. Sniveley, "and
it gets as hot here in the summer as
it does in California. All you need
is water and l hear there is good
chance of irrigation. To give you
some idea OF the profits from rice
raised 4S sacks an acre this yeai
which sold for s212.
Our main pests are ducks ant
geese. l saw five acres of rice de
stroyed in one night this season b!

CIVILIAN POPULATION

Bruges, Nov. 30.-- Especial cor

OF Belgium is much more bitter to-
ward the Germans than the soldiers
who have fought them to a standstill
during four years. crushed them.

the empire during the past four
months. Terms OF bitter execration,

Learn to Be q Listener.

The man with brains In his head Is
good listener even If he doesn't
know what men are talking about. It's
a pleasure to listen when you're inter
ested. The next best thing Is to act
as though you were. That does not
mean that you are to act the hypo-
critic. 1t means that you are to put
yourself at attention and the chances
are that you will become interested.
You just must learn to get interested
in what concerns the world. Disregard
what interests others and thereby you
make confession that does not count
to your credit. So even If you can't
confess the most lively interest, find
out what there Is about the thing that
interests others and the result may be
q revelation to you.

Biblical Town Of GAIA.

Al-Mlntar. or the watchtower. still
exists to the east of the town of GAIA.
1t Is where Samson is said to have car
rled the gates of the city. On the road
from GAIA to Jaffa are ancient olive
trees, many of them more than one
thousand years old. with gnarled bark
and immense trunks. There is an old
legend which credits GAIA with the In
l'vention of the first mechanical clocks.
These were perhaps the sand clocks
which are still used in some mosques.
