Native OF Asia.

/ Alfalfa is a native of Western Asia
and has been cultivated for more than
1000 years. It was brought by the
Persians to Southern Europe in 400 b.
c. The Romans held it in high favor
as frequent references in the litera-
ture of that period bear witness. In
France it was called lucerne, but in
Spain it was known by the Arabic
name alfalfa. The Spaniards carried
it to the new world where it early be-
came located along the western slopes
of the Andes From Chill it was
brought north to California, where it
quickly found congenial home. 1t
Is significant that the successful Gull
ture of alfalfa in America is directly
tracab1e to the early Spanish importa-
tions of seed. The common alfalfa
grown in the western states is proper
ly known as the Gillian va~iety. Fields
in Mexico are reputed to be over 300
years old ard are still producing prof
table crops.

Alfalfa was introduced into New
York from Europe at least 80 years
before its Introductory into California !
in 1854 but these direct importations
have never met with notable success.
There is much to sustain the belief |
that the plant through successive re-
movsls from it's native habitat through !
Spain into Chill and thence to North |
America had become adapted and ac-
cIimsted TO those conditions which |
permitted It's greatest development in
the arid regions Of the west under IT.

The Dog Saved the Day

An uplift woman going to an
anti-vice convention by raib got
into the smoker and took a seat.
A man in front of her was smok-
ing, and she rebuked him for it.
He replied that this was a smok-
ing car, and if she did not rel
ish the smoke she might better
get out. She jumped up and jerk
ed his pipe away from him and
threw it out of the car window.
She had a poodle dog with her,
and he grabbed the dog up and
threw it out of the window, and
doggie lit with a bounce and a
"ki-yi." She abused him for be-
ing a brute, and he replied that
she was harboring a brute and
disturbing the peace. While they
were fussing, the train stopDel at
a station and they appealed to the

conductor out on the platform.
While he was listening the dog
came galloping in, carrying the
pipe. The man grabbed the dog
and caressed him because he had
brought his pipe back to him The
woman grabbed the pipe and put
it in her handbag because it had
brought her dog back to her. In
the meantime the train pulled out
and left them both standing on
the platform thanking each other
for saving the pieces.
When our reporter, Mr.. Hell
mick, sees this he will poster the
editor with a lot of questions
about whether it was leap year,
and will insist upon knowing
which one proposed, and whether
they lived happily ever afterward.

to break this gigantic bubble of specu :

through immediate rationing of the

third of our sugar is used by the candy,
sweet drinks and other manufacturers

these trades patriotically co operated in
public interest in such reduction and
themselves found substitutes of Other

ANCIENT S1tN0GRAPHERS

In commenting on an article which
appeared in the Paris journal des De-
bats" on the subject of St Augustine's
stenographer, by Van Loo, the editor
of the "Etoile Stenographique" quotes
evidence in support of the contention
that the great Bishop of Hippo was
wont to employ stenographers in writ
ing his books. 1t is known that ST.
Augustine seldom entered upon a
philosophical dissertation without first
having engaged the attendance of a
''notarius," the Roman equivalent
of stenographer.
At the Council of Carthage in All,
notarii ecclesiastical were entrusted
by him with the work of recording
the deliberations. The analytical ac-
count of the conference between st.
Augustine and the Donatist bishops,
condensed from the report of stenog-
,raphers, is in existence. 1t was a
heavy task and the clerk of the
court declared the stenographers'
tablets had been filled with notes and
that it was time others took their
places.

BISHOP KELLY
PRELATE GIVES FORCEFUL RE-
MINDER TO BIGOTS IN
MICHIGAN.

Right Rev. Bishop E. D. Kelly of
Grand Rapids, Mich, in his latest pub
lie reply to the bigots who are at
tempting to prescribe the Catholic
schools of Michigan, reminds the peo-
pie of the commonwealth that their
state university had it's beginning as q
private school, one of whose founders
was a Catholic priest.
This priest was Rev. Father Rich
ard, who brought the first printing
press to Michigan and established the
first newspaper in the territory.
Together with Reverend Monteith,
Presbyterian minister, he founded
a school in Detroit, and was profess
sor in the same says Bishop Kelly
This school formed the foundation
of Michigan University which is it's
legal successor
Bishop Kelly appeals to the sense
of fairness and justice of the people
of Michigan to defeat the schemes of
the bigots who are seeking to amend
the state constitution SO as to require
all children between the ages of six
and sixteen to attend public schools.
only at the expense of your own
liberties can you barter those of your
brother" Bishop Kelly wrote.
