The Greater Trial.

A bride of few months was de-
ploring the treatment of her husband
to her mother and between her sobs
was saying:
"You see, mother, I've only been
married a few months, and George
goes out nearly every night and leaves
me all alone"
Her mother did her best to comfort
her.
"You must not upset yourself, my
dear" she said. "How little you know
of the real trials of life, and little dc
you know what 1 have suffered. Why

ALFALFA AND SWEET CLOVER
Two Crops Are First Cousins But De-
cidedIy Different in Making
Their GroWths.

Cut alfalfa when the buds OF the
second growth begin TO show at the
crowns of the plants. Cut sweet clover
when the blossoms are about half out
and raise the sickle bar at least four
inches. These two crops are first cous-
ins but they are decidedly different
in this respect: Alfalfa shoots from a
crown: sweet clover shoots from buds
on the main stem.

LIKE TO BE HUMBUGGED,

The latest form of popular insanity is the
ouija board. The telephone and the airplane
are .sback numbers" Why talk to the living
over the phone or go up in the air when You
can talk to persons hundreds of years dead and
get into the invisible world of spirits by means
OF the ouija boardG
Even the novelists of today derive inspira-
ton from the omnipotent and omniscient ouija.
Once there was a petticoated writer of erotic
romance known by the pseudonym of ''Ouida-' -
But nobody now reads "Ouida and why
Should anybody do So when far better novels
than Under Two Flags or Moths" can be
produced through the occult medium of the
ouija board?
The secret of ouijamania was years ago dis
covered by Barnum in connection with the
American people, ''They like to be hum
bugged,' said that wise man. And Thomas
Carlyle, Scotsman WHO wrote tempestuous
English, also anticipated the reason why stolid
Britishers are likely to swallow the swindIe Of
the ouija board. Abiding to the population of
England he remarked that it consisted of
mostly FOOLS
We humans unfortunately are always ready
TO be deceived. We have been deceived by po-
litical charlatans, gypsy fortune tellers, con-
fidence men, spiritualistic seances, and invent
crs of panaceas for bringing about universal
peace and an earthly paradise. Can it be won
dered at then, if we are deceived by the lies of

INvIoLABILITY OF CONTRACT.

In these times of broken contracts, strikes
and other labor disturbances, it is refreshing to
find one body of men that recognizes the invio-
liability of contract entered into and would
not cast aside its word of honor at tue behest
of l. w. w. organizers, bolshevik sympathlzers,
socialist adherents or any other sef-appolnted
trt uble-nakers. Insidous propaganda has
been attempted, and has failed, among the men
working in the Grass Valley-Nevada City, Calf
fornia district, which contains within It's terri
tory the richest gold producing mines IN this
country. Recently rumors, assdiously cultivat-
ed by interested persons, have been circulated to
effect that labor troubles We're imminent in and
about Grass Valley and Nevada City. The
Miners Protective League, the membership
composed in large part OF outstanding Ameri-
cans, and who have home interests IN the dis
trict, has taken cognizance Of these reports and
has issued a statement in which denial is made
of any thought or intent to call strike during
the life of the contract existing with the
different mining companies, and any sugges-
ton of discussions within the League that are
likely to disrupt industrial conditions in the dis
trict are repudiated.
We're all labor organizations as conscientious
in recognition Of the sanctity of contracts as IS
this California miners organization, employers
would feel more inclination to cooperate IN any
betterment undertakings suggested by the
workers.

And fright her with grim and ghostly pack.
