To the Editor:-We were great
ly concerned to read In your paper

u former professional berry picker
relating her experiences in berry
patch Since we feel that most 81
her trouble was caused by hel
oversight in the matter Of lunch
we would like to relate our exper
lences ''sneaking upon some real,
honest-to-goodness loganberries. 2
We were taken from town In

the owners table and we picked

Gus occasions our employers

from town, who on Monday in the
depths Of his ignorance picked So
pounds, and was still able to pur-
sue his business the following day
We have also worked in four
other yards, In other years. and
hayee experienced various yard
bosses. but never female taskmas-
ters. We have never suffered from
thirst, nor have we had to carry
our own water.
Our friend has quickly arrived
at the solution OF the labor prob
lem, which is perplexing wise men
everywhere. She says that few
humans need to submit to such
slavery. We aGmit that logan

and berry pickers must be salts

 Judge Morris said he imposed sen tences to the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth only in extreme cases, but two men had been recently sent to that institution when convicted of conspiracy to violate the liquor laws.

KIEW YORK.-When Charles Gar N land, eccentric Massachusetts "so- cialist" and "platonic love expert" in- herited $1,OOO,OOO more than a year ago, he startled the world by refusing to accept it. He said nobody was en- titled to that amount. And he began his investigations in the realm of love.

Various young women have come and gone from the Hove farm" near LenOx, Mass, and Mrs. Garland finally got tired of the dual role of wife and wit ness to her mates experiments.
