Buttons Tell Tale

The players place their money on
the numbers in the center of the table
which, run from one to four. A Sec
ond Chinese. keeper of the money till,
makes noise like someone in pain,
then the Cantonese counts the buttons
in groups of four. At the end of the
count the number of buttons left wins.
If two buttons are extra the men plac-
ing money on number two win and
receive three times the amount placed.
If one button is left No. wins and
so on game after game.

Hundreds Of dollars are won during
the trip and hundreds lost. Often
young men gamble away their expense
money and arrive in a strange port
with Just enough change to pay their
boat tips, while seamen lose orstriple
their wages for the trip. According to
an Indian of high caste who was edu-
Gated in Europe and America and who
is a devotee of fan tan, the man with
the long purse will win in the end, for
he-can play until he regains his losses,
but the man with the short purse
should resist the call of the capricious
lady of fan tan as he would the Turing
song of the heartless Circe Of old.

THE DIVINE RIGHT?

Twenty seven years ago a mother left her baby on another woman's doorstep. The other woman brought him up to manhood and he achieved success and fame. Then suddenly his real mother turned up to claim her son and his love.
 And some people think it is un- natural that the only love he had to give was for his foster mother, the woman who had really been his mother. Perhaps it was unnatural that he responded not at all to the woman who bore him. For in every human being there is supposed to come with life a natural tie for others of his own flesh and blood, certainly for his mother. But it seems to me that the tie is quite as much one that is knitted through those early years of the child's in- dependence. by the lasting fiber of love and a parents devotion.
 We read of a girl who refused in court to return to her mother. pre- ferring to stay with an aunt; and all about us there are examples to refute the theory of the divine right to mother love-
 Mother love is privilege that has been earned by the generations of mothers who have given the word a meaning transcending any other. It is the privilege of a mother But. if one can imagine. as we hear of every now and then. a mother who is not a real mother, she has noth- ing to forfeit-the privilege was never hers.
 And this brings to mind other things in the filiai relationship. How dare you judge your father.v Remember. I am your mother." Respect your parents.v are not un- known to any of us.
 Respect your parents,"
 One begins naturally by revering them Can one continue to respect arbitrarily or against ones judg- ment? Certainly a parent is en- titled to gratitude and devotion sim ply for having been what to be parent implies. A father who has made his daughter the apple of his eye is entitled to her love. But if. for instance, she discovers he is inn moral or corrupt. is he entitled to her respect?
 That is one of the beautiful things about children They force one to

One Of the most frequent questions asked by the newcomer in this valley ' is. sWhy don't you grow enough fresh vegetables and berries to supply your own dernand? Also, Why not enough to supply your consumption of canned stuff This question, We all know is justified, because if you inouire at the markets as to where the green stuff and the berries come from nine times out of ten the answer will be. California.
 Now the writer thinks that he is we'll qualified to answer these ques tfons because he has been, now, about twenty years, in the valley and has been in the vegetable raising same on large scale longer than any other white man or, perhaps, than any Jap anese in the valley.
 We will first take up the fresh vegetable business The 2Sral demand is pretty well supplied by the Chinese and the Japanese, and this would not appeal to the average American gar edener anyway; it is petty game. Now the chief reason why we have not gone into this industry on a large scale and ship out in carload lots is fhis-because our season is too short for any particular vegetable. We come at any and all times into com petition with California. California ..can and does produce every kind oi vegetable from one end of the year u the other while our season for --ny kind of vegetable call 1t what you will spinach, lettuce, string beans peas or tomatoes, is only from four te six weeks.
 & The first two named kinds have proved to be at most times success fuI competitors with California in its - own markets and if we study market conditions carefully We may fine some more that will do as we'll green and ripe onions, for instance and parsley. We have raised ths finest onions that ever come to any market, and if we improve our grow ing methods, that is, grow then cheaper,ard earlier. we will be ablt to compete even in the Texas market For a later market we need to kiln dry them so that they may be kep in storage.
 I have not been able to get any fig ures as to how many onions art shipped into Arizona but I know thai one is not able to buy dry onior produced in this valley from abou the first of August until about tht first of May. the eight months in tli' year when the demand is the great. est.
 If we raise the right kind of vege. tables at the right time and kiln -dr, them, thousand acres will not sup py the local demand There are ; few ether vegetables that could b. made to fill the .,:ll but space forbid to tell about them. My experience as g-ower and shipper for wears ha taught me this lesson-ieave tn greefi vegetable game alone, except Jew on a large scale for eastern mar Rets
 Now when it comes to canning w arc rirht here. We can grow a r7any or more of the finest grades 0 vegetables of all kirds in their sea sons If we learn low, select tn

Unless a salad dressing is perfectly smooth it is rot as good as it might be. Many cooked dressings that would otherwise be delicicas are lumpy. Constant stirring while cooking and the proper order of combining the in gradients will produce as smooth a cooked dressing as the real mayon- naise

Horace Greeley in his preach- ments to farmers often protested against milling up all kinds of garden crops. Yet>shere are many amateurs who stiIl believe that hiling must be done. It really isn't necessary. though. and is poor practice except on wet land The earth dries out quicker when 1t is hiIled. and the roots are dis turbed by the process. Level cul- ture of potatoes. beans, corn. and all the other crops is best. al- though if the mistake was made of planting potatoes very shallow it may be necessary to hill them up to prevent the sun from burn ing them.
