wonderful sermon; subject: Goods

the pastor proved that discrimination

special favor with the Master. Ap-

Camping in Morocco.

Camping is a fine art in Morocco. where the roads are almost impossible, and the chief means of transportation is by caravan. All day one rides across the great plains. prOdigally GOV cred with iris. daffodils, daisies. butter cups and wild lavender. Perhaps a wild band of horsemen will gallop by. their robes. sea green, salmon colored. and blue. streaming in the wind, their horses richly caparisOned like those of some crusading king.
 Occasionally one skirts little vtl- lage built of mud and wattle and bar ley. Here and there the white domed shrine of some saint rises serenely above the plain. And at sundown the shepherds playing on their reed flutes drive their flocks of sheep and goats home from pasture. Then it is time to pitch the tents near grove of orange trees or on 2 fairy carpet of red anem- ones. One dimes on roasted sheep and cOuscous. and is lulled to sleep by the songs of the guard under the intense blue of the African sky.

In his charge to the jury of Nevada County Circuit Court when that tri- bunal convened on Monday, Judge James s, Steel, of Lockesburg, who is presiding over the Court on an ex- change of circuits with Judge G. R. Haynie, delivered istructions which were in effect an epic on the majesty of the law In reporting the opening of the Court, the Prescott News says
 Judge Steels charge to the grand jury at the converting of the session yesterday was one of the most inn pressive ever delivered in the local court He gave the jurors instruc- tions on all the larger ocenses likely to come before them and in the course of his address, paid his respects with a stinging denunciation of the lawyer who lowers himself to the extent of wasting his time looking and working up petty, groundless cases, many times against innocent parties for the small fee he might perchance collect. He expressed himself as having no sympathy for a law violator who knowingly disobeys the law and then comes up before the court and wants a light sentence because he pleads guilty" Star of Hope.

SEE BEGINNING OF NEW ERA
People of HeIgoIand Will Welcome Return of Visitors to the Unfor.
 tunate Little Island.

The change which dug a huge fort ress hundred feet deep in the cliffs, covered them with gun emplacements and girdled them with labyrinth of walls fifty feet thick was a more than doubtful blessing, and Helgoland must have found her transformation into the most notorious and sinister speck of land in the world a severe strain on her zeal for the fatherland.
 When the war actually came her fishermen were exiles; for they were one and all shipped off to the main land and the island was given over to the gulls and the gunner. It is now thrown open again, and beginning has been made with the dismantling of it's mighty forts. The inhabitants will cheerfully see the last of the guns, and apparently they would like, too, to be quit of German taxation ; but they hope quite reasonably, that the islands final disappearance may be at least delayed by leaving the great seawalls the Germans built.
 This might well be done. for Helgo- land so long as it lasts will be lode star for the curious, and there would be certain rough justice in the fact of its people protiting in the future by the worlds interest in it's sinister past that has cost them so dear.

What are you looking for, dry spring and summer, or wet one? Most people figure that it will be dry for the reason that since October enough rain has fallen to have run us nicely two years had it been properly distributed, Anyway it has rained a wheie heap and running over. Auth critics on such matters say that nice crop could be made next year with very little rain, the moisture for the growing crops being drawn from the unuual reserve that has soaked into the earth. That theory IS no doubt partly true, but not wholly true Nature can be assisted and moisture conserved by the proper preparation of land, It is always profitable to break the land deep and early. Since no great amount of it was broken early this year. nor was the opportunity of tered, the wise thing would be to do this at the earliest time the opportuni- ty affords. It is agreed by good farm CTS that this is one of the best insur- ance policies against bad crop and for good one.

cooIies Pass Through Canada.

When the big blue funnel liner Tyn- dateus clears from Seattle she will proceed to Vancouver, E. C., where, in addition to further cargo awaiting heI at that port, she will take on board 4,OO0 Chinese cOolies. who are being returned to their home country by the British and French governments. says the Seattle POst-lntelligencer.
 The Chinese are among several thou sands of coOlies utilized as laborers back of the lines during nearly the entire five years of the war and they are being returned to their homes through Canada, which will mean tha, they will have circled the globe when they debark at HOngkong. since they were taken to Europe through the Suez canal and the Mediterranean.

G;ver Remedy for Potato Bug Pest, Peasn1st Digs Up Another
 Tale of Woe.

A Kansas City farmer has proposed & scheme for doing away with potato bugs so simple that it seems ridicu- lous. Perhaps not much dependence is to be placed in agricultural sugges- tions offered by a Kansas City farmer. Kansas farmers should command in- stant respect. but We would not be in clined to have faith in Kansas City farmer much more than in Manhat- tan farmer. However. this hint may be taken for what it is worth. The Kansas City idea is that all that Is necessary to keep the potato bugs away is to plant one bean in the hill with the seed potato. It seems that the bugs hate beans.
 Perhaps they do. Anyway, in our own experience we can testify that we have never seen potato bugs feed ing on bean vines. It would be logi- cal assumption that they will not ven- ture into the presence of beans. So far as we have observed there has not been potato bug in our garden this season. Perhaps, that is because we did not plant any potatoes. But gar dens develop or encourage all kinds Of bugs besides potato bugs. That is one of the harassing experiences of about every amateur gardener. And if it is not bugs it is something else. Just as you get your garden growing well. along come couple of calves or herd of COWS and eat off the tops of everything. The bovine tribe seems to have peculiar fondness for young corn. Only person with bitter expe- rience can fully appreciate the sig nificance of that old nursery appeal to Little Boy Blue to blow his horn on account of the cows being in the corn.
 Between the pests that bite the roots or masticate the leaves and those that eat or trample the plants it is mighty hard to raise growing things.-F. H. Young in Providence Journal.

 Bravely enough pretty little Elsie said 1t, but there had been a cruel tug ging at her heart as she watched the office vampires bold overtures toward Phil Dart Quite true. the status of Elsie and Phil had been only that of geod friends, but Phil had been coming to see her every week for the last six months.
 He was fond Of music-the light classics, which Elsie played so we'll. Their tastes were alike in books and pictures. Without . word passing, Elsie had come to feel that Phil only awaited the time when his future might be a little better assured to turn their comraderie into something more serious.
 Only this week he had gotten the promotion for which he had been working. So Elsie had been looking

 The noon whistle had sounded, but Elsie was hastening to finish a bit of work before going to the lunch room. It was like a sudden challenge-this direct mention of Phil's name. Elsie felt herself color. She wanted to look Mayme squarely in the face and an swer indifferently. Instead she heard herself stammering:
 'Yes. Mr. Dart is nice"
 "Fll say he is. You know" and Mayme smiled down at the other in patronizing way. "I don't see why some of you girls don't go after him Put it'll take real class to get him. think I could learn to like him pretty much myself"
 The color in the other girls face heightened quickly. "I don't think Mir. Dart 10 the sort who would care to have women 'go after him." The new stenOgrapher laughed mockingly. "Pshaw, you don't know much about men. They are all alike They like to be vamped.'

Ashdown is going to have to build a new high school building one Of these days This does not refer to some far-distant day. but it is shortly to become a pressing necessity. True the new has not worn from our pre- sent building, which we thought would accommodate the school for many years to come, but we are told that they are packing them in like sardines promoted to another room and the other room won't hold them, then the whole school moves until each teacher finds by trading rooms she can just squeeze her bunch in. The News is not boosting for a new school build ing, but just stating a condition, If there were houses to accommodate all the people who want to come to Ash down we are afraid that Supt. Holmes would have to erect balconies in the various class rooms. The school should be allowed room to grow and expand without limit. It is one of the things that should not be throttled down. Time was when boy or girl could go to college for about $200 a year. Now it costs $500 and up. Not many will ever see the inside of a col lege. He must depend on the high school, and in it nothing should be lacking that would fit him for the stern duties of life.
