MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY irwin Cobb

An elderly English actor came over to take
his first American engagement. He had never
visited the country before but lie had strong
not to say fixed-prejudces touching on
these United States, as compared with the
British Isles.
The voyage across was rough one and the
VISITORS disposition did not sweeten by rea-
son of it. On landing he started for an
English boarding house uptown, where he
had been told he could get English food I'M
contaminated by base Yankee notions. To
keep down expenses he elected to repair
thither by street car instead of using a
cab.
He emerged fro,l the pier laden with his
hatbox, his umbrella, his makeup tin, his
grips-two in number-his steamer rug, his
tea caddy, his overcoat, his framed picture Of
the Death Of Nelson, and other priced per-
sonal belongings, and climbed aboard a car.
Just as he got fairly upon the platform the
car started and he fell through the open door
into the aisle, scattering his goods and chat
tells in every direction. AS he got upon his
knees he remarked N a tone of conviction:
There now! I knew I shouldn't like the
blarsted country

SALT LAKE CIT, June 22.-Forecasting
the weather far in advance is possible de-
velopment Of the future, J. S. Ricard, S. J.,
of the University Of Santa Clara, California,
declared before the American Meteorological
society here today. Sun-spots and signs ON
the planets will undoubtedly aid in such pre-
dictions.
Storms and counter-storms are immediate
factors in the weather and We can base our
short range prediction largely upon them"
he said. "In order to make long range fore.
casts it is necessary to know the remote fac
tors. This is entirely possible for no realm in
nature is lawless and a law controls the
weather. 1t is the business of the meteor
ologist by observation Of phenomena to work
out these laws scientifically. He does not
have to bother about the why and where
fores; that is for another and higher branch
of science"

EVOLUTION BY FUMBLINK
By DR.. Frank Crane
What is the matter with the world?

What is the matter with the world?
That is a big question, but sometimes the
biggest questions may be satisfied with the
simplest answers
You might say that nothing is the matter with
the world except what has always been the
matter with it and always will be. And in one
word that is-Evolution.
What makes all the trouble in the world is
that it is always growing.
Perhaps the most valuable contribution to
human thought is the idea of evolution, which
was practically brought out in the nineteenth
century. 1t affected every realm of human
thinking
Theologically it converted the intelligent
world to the view that God grew mankind like
tree and did not carpenter mankind like a
house.
Philosophically it eventuated in pragmatsm
and the conception of truth as fluid and pro-
greSSive thing, and not as a fxty.
Politically its logical result is democracy,
which implies condition of freedom in which
peoples grow, and develop Governments in
stead of having theorists saddle Governments
on them.
Now, it is essential corollary of Evolution
that something should be always wrong, in the
sense of being always imperfect For there can
be no constant growth without a constant bet
terment.
There must always be weakness to become
strength, buds to become flowers, callow youth
to become manhood There must always be
outworn shells to be discarded by the growing
animal, bractS to be cast by the unfolding
flower, and the house of life is not without
its garbage can, whittier 60 old clothes and
outgrown creeds.
What we call progress is entirely due to
mans curiosity and his disposition to make ex-
perimentS. AS recent scientific writer said,
"A creature which lacked curiosity and had no
tendency to tumble could never have developed
civilization and human intelligence" Manhood
does not get on as the result of reason and
deliberate planning; it just muddles ahead.
All permanent success is built on the rub
BILE stone foundation of multtudinous failures.
The difference between the optimSt and the
peSsmiat is that the optimst thinks the world
is still green and unrpe; the pessimst thinks
the world is over ripe and rotten.
AS this is free country, chose optimism.

THE OLD GARDENER SAYS

Garden makers an save time and labor
by the frequent use of mulches. A mulch
consists of any Loose material, like lawn
clippings, hay or chicken house litter,
scattered around the base of the plants to
a depth of several inches. Mulching
serves to keep the ground cool in hot
weather and prevents the escape of moist
ure. 1t takes the place of hoeing and is
especially valuable when the weather is
very dry. Among the plants benefited by
mulching are sweet peas, roses, tomatoes,
and strawberries.

THE OLD GARDENER SAYS

If you are among the multitude of gardeners
plagued almost beyond endurance by which
grass or quack grass or witch grass, or what
ever it may be called in your locality, you will
be justified in using drastic means to eradicate
it, The best plan so far discovered is to cover
the ground where the grass is growing with
heavy building paper or roofing paper holding
it in place with boards or stones. After being
shut off from the air and sunlight for several
weeks the grass gives up the fight. By cover
ing one patch at time you can gradually
clean up all the infected area.

Three for One

n YOTING that Morristown, in Tennessee,
M exported eight million dollars worth
of eggs, poultry and cattle last year,
the Hartwell (Georgia) Sun NEATLY re-
marks: ''It will take Hart county three
years, producing twenty thousand bales Of
cotton a year and getting twenty-five cents
a pound for it, to make as much money
as Morristown did in one year on those
products"
Here is a lesson in economics which
Georgia farmers and business leaders alike
well may ponder. To win three years re-
ward for one of labor; to increase income
and at the same time upbuild basic capital;
to earn more and hazard less-these as
suredly are ends worth seeking. And they
are as easily attainable in this resourceful
commonwealth in Tennessee.

PUTTING IT UP TO HOOVER

In recent issue the Sunset Magazine edi- torially commented on the depletion of the Puget Sound sockeye run, and the necessity of suspension of fishing for a number of years, making the following statement as to the situation in Alaska:
 "The Alaska salmon is panting right behind the sockeye on its way to oblivion Leaders among the Alaska packers know that their heavy investments in canneries, traps, boats and supplies will become practically worthless in a short time if present fishing methods con- tinue, but the blind pressure of competition forces them to go on regardless of conse- quences. If the industry is to be preserved and placed on a permanent basis, a strong hard hand has to take charge, make the needed regulations and see that they are enforced vigorously.
 'H1he effect of wise regulation of fishing methods is strikingly demonstrated on the Columbia River, where salmon canning began in 1866. Twenty years later the packers and fishermen declared that the river was "fished out,' that the equipment might we'll be moved elsewhere. But few of the packers thought otherwise. They brought about legis- lative restrictions on fishing which were en- forced because both Oregon and Washington interests kept a jealous watch over one an other And the packers with their own money built hatcheries which performed the most ef- fective and advanced fish propagation work in the country, resulting in the restoration of the salmon supply.
 '"But now this supply is threatened again. Though the Columbia itself is thoroughly reg ulated, the development of power boats and 4ol 1ol fcpo, to go out to sea, there not only to intercept the salmon schools ready to enter the river, but to catch without distinction, without limit or regulation, large numbers of immature sal mon.
 ''This deep-sea salmon fishing is a and dangerous menace which can not be met by State laws. As in Alaska, so on the high seas of the Pacific Coast only the power of the United States government can be successfully invoked to save and perpetuate the salmon, and in the federal government it is the strong hand of Herbert Hoover that must do the work
 ''Hoover is Westerner. What better mon- ument could he erect for himself than the gratitude of the Pacific Coast for preserving one of its great resources ?''-Pacifc Fisher man.
