LAW REQUIRING SPRAYING
1T TO BE ENFORCED AGAIN

Mr.. Karl Topham, tree inspector for
Iron county, was in Cedar City last
Tuesday on one of his periodical trips
in the interest Of the fruit industry.
In another part of this paper will be
found a notice to orchadists and tree
owners in relation to spraying in con-
formity with the state law, and we
are informed by Mr.. Topham that it
is his intention to see that the law is
enforced. The condition of apples and
other fruits in this country, which
might be source of much revenue
and the means of keeping large sums
of money at home which are now sent
to northern Utah and Idaho for fruit

so far as Iron county is concerned,
and almost a total loss Of the apple
crop is the result. We are glad that
it is now going to be revived and en-

more when out came the major, with

his heels his old sister, who kept
house for him, and two Of the maids,

fire. He was douce, quiet man, as
all the country knew; and here he
was, like Old Nick at the carlins'

To ENLARGE VOCABULARY

From a correspondent comes this unusual query which may be passed on to our readers, What is the best method to acquire a large vocabu- lary?' Is there a "best" method? No doubt many methods have been tried, and perhaps personal exper- fence would be more Illuminating than theory. On general princi- pies and with due difference to teachers of rhetoric, it might be supposed that the choice of method should be governed by circum- stances. Enlarging ones vocabu- lary at the age of 40, for example, IS different matter from enlarg- ing 1t at l5 and may call for a diff ierent method. Personal habit, too, must count for much; some people are good at schemes for self-im- pavement, while others can never carry diary beyond February or harch' Obviously system of earning new words should not be "G formidable to be kept up.

THAT ALL MAY KNOW

Wouldn't it be wonderful if one could tell at glance whether the fair feminine person who has caught our eye is maiden willing to wed, widow who is inconsolable, or one who IS willing to be consoled? They have it arranged that way in Japan.
 The Japanese women have cer- tain ways of arranging the hair to indicate their state and feel ings, and as they do not wear hats, all who run may read. Girls who would wed arrange their hair in front in the form of fan or but terfly, and adorn it with silver or colored ornaments. Widows who ere looking for second husbands fasten their hair at the back of the head by means of tortoise shell pins, and widows who are resolved to remain faithful to their departed spouses cut their hair short and wear no ornaments in it.

"With a tremendous reduction in the acreage of wheat in this country, and with the condition of the wheat crop ranging below the average, there is to be seen ahead condition very serious indeed.
 Another important factorsin ag- gravating conditions is, that in face of the shortage of production, thous- ands of persons are refusing to work on the farm or are demand ing a awge that the farmer cannot afford to pay.
 "The farmer never has been a profiteer or a striker. He always has been and always will be the saving grace of the nation.

Chef heir to such international parents as there may be on wire less telegraphy, the baby of the Marconi's was left at home when the inventor and his wife started on a trip across the Atlantic. And the baby was ailing. The nurse maid was instructed to send wire less messages every day telling of the condition of the baby.
 Baby is better" was the first message received aboard ship. The second message was the same. More and more messages came along each of them saying, Baby is better"
 When Signor Marconi and his wife reached New York they had a pile of more than 300 marconi- grams all reading: Baby is bet ter" For every day the nursemaid believed the real news about the baby was just that. And every day the operators at the big wireless stations on the Eiffel tower, at Carnarvon, at Poidhu, at Clifden, receiving the messages out of the air for the father of the wireless and of the bay, said, Rush thisw
