SEASON is
in FULL SWING AT LLANO
Peanuts and Rice Are Present Crops
Needing Attention .Of the
Harvesters

Llano's harvesting is begun in earn
est.
AT the rice farm. the hum Of the
thresher and the swishyty-klick of the
binder is heard all day.
Thfeshing for the Colony's neigh
bors is now under way. and cutting has
begun on the Colony's own rice land.
This years crop is a bumper one and
should net the Colony what would be
termed a $4,000 crop.
Only three men are now working on
the rice farm, from the Colony. the
balance Of the work being done by the
West family and neighbors, who are
trading their labor.
AT home. harvesting among the pea
nuts has been going on this week, the
school children helping in the after
moons. About half the acreage has
been picked and stacked, anil the fine
harvesting weather is a great aid in
the curing of the hay and nuts.
The sweet potatoes are now ripening
and will be ready to harvest as soon
as the peanuts are done; and then the
sorghum and sugar cane will keep all
farm workers busy until Christmas.
AS in other years, Llano will have
plenty of sweet potatoes, sugar cane
syrup, peanuts and, this year. tons Of
nee Of It's own raising. The surplus
goods will Be exchanged for fruits and
other feed which the Colony is not yet
producing. With the garden truck and
dairy products. balancel ration is pos
sible for all Llanoites.
But it is the result Of the toll Of the
workers of Llano. and they are justly
entitled 10 their rewards.

FATNEss NO SIGN OF HEALTH
increased Weight, After the Age of
Forty, Rather Danger Sig
nal, Say Experts.

When a person becomes Stolt after
about forty years of age it does not
worry him, CT her, unless the stoutness
be so great as TO cause discomfort or
Disagreement. Nevertheless, the statis-
tics of life insurance companies prove
not favorable to length Of days, ac-
cording to DrS Irving Fisher and
Z. L. Fisk, the greatest authorities on
Insurance statistics.
What are the burdens Ct obesity
and why does it shorten life?' asks
the Journal of the American Medical
Association. Various answers mostly
indefinite in character, may be forth
ccmng in reply to this question. lis
sue fat must be carried about like any
ether incubus. We are reminded that
overweight puts strain on the heart
and on the joints and that it pushes
up the diaphragm and cramps the
lungs A gaining adult who is already
overweight may find his physical ac-
tivities restrained and bodily eXertion
made labored. Accordingly, with an
unchanged food intake the surplus Of
unused energy accumulates and vi
cious cycle is presently established.
The obese person inevitably limits his
exercise; he grows heavier from tie
unused reserves, and his activity there
upon becomes even more restrained
and limited Overfeeding, obesity and
lack of exercise interplay until big
becomes bigger"
And DR.. E. P. Joslin indicates fat
ness as responsible for diabetes.

BIRDS NESTS IN ODD PLACES
Remarkable Boldness Shown by Many
Species When They Are Engaged
in Rearing Family.

Every year some fresh discovery Is
made by naturaliSts respecting the
curious habits Of birds. The boldnesS
shown by even shy birds when domes-
tic duties are concerned is surprising.
Robins are especially noted for then
boldness, and a pair have been known
to build their nest and rear Their
family on beam in school, entering
by the window which was left open.
Swallows seldom build in odd places
but pair have been known to 0ulid
their nest against pane OF WINDOW
glass. A swallows nest in fuDne.
is an exceptionally queer place fo'
a bird of this species to choose.
Wrens are very ingenious, and their
dome-shaped nests, which are SO
beautifully woven, are often found in
old kettles and tins, and even in the
pockets OF old coats which have been
left hanging about. A hedge sparrow's
nest in kettle was found in bunch
of nettles close to a public footpath,
where school children passed every
day, but the faithful bird, with no
thought of danger. reared family
quite unmolested.

REAL HUMoRIST OF AMERICA
In One Writer'S Opinion, the Country
Editor Is Entitled to Honor
Of the Title.

The funniest things which are writ
ten and printed in this country are
not written by Irwin Cobb or George
AIDE or Ring Lardner. They are not
written by the professional humorlst
Of the great newspapers.
They are written by the so-caiied
country editors aad notably by So
called country editors of Ohio and
Kansas. We hardly think anyone
with a real sense OF humor who reads
large numbers of newspapers and
magazines and modern books will dis
pute this assertion.
Humor is merely the ability to see
and react understandingiy to the
mirth-provoking side Of human nature,
which is not the least ample Of its
sides. A humorous paragraph may be
grossly exaggerated in its interpFeta-
ton Of human nature, but human ma
ture must be somewhere down near
the bottom of it or it is failure.
This explains why humor is so much
more amusing, SO much more satisfy
inC than Wit. Wit needs no human
nature as its foundation, it may be
simply a lightning-like play on mere
words, sufficient 20 cause smile,
laugh perhaps, but none of the sold
comfort derived by the discerning from
true lumor-Ghio State journal.

Talk Of automobile drivers being

when they fly Up and down the high

JACK FROST AS GOOD FRIEND
His Beneficial Effect Upon the Soil IN
calcuIable, and He Performs
Other Services.

Let those who will growl when
tc;Cies hang on the wall. TO rnlllonS
Jack Frost comes as a friend, ana not
always in disguise, either.
His influence on soil is wonderful
says London Tit-Bits. BESIDES red&c-
ing it to a much finer state Of tiliage
than can be produced by any impie-
ments known to man, it improves Its
fertility end adGs to its quantity.
The highest counts Of bacteria IN
soil-and there may be lOG000.OOo N
u grain-have been obtained in hare
winters, and it is during such seasons
that the disintestation OF roc: which
produces fresh particles Of soil goes
On most rapidly.
AS water passes from the liquid TO
the solid state its expansive power IS
about 150 tons to 4 square foot, which
is equal tG the weight OF a column o!
rock about one-third Of a mile IN
height. Then comes the 1haw, and as
the water contracts away crumbies the
surface 0s the rock, TO so TO make
the soil from which we draw our Sus-
teTancc.
Out in the CotswoldS, when winter
Is coming on, they turn blocks Oh stone
grain upwards. so that The rain shaH
soak into tie layers. a thaw succeeds
q frost, ard then the blocks are tapped
with hammer, whereupon they fall
into fakes, ready, after little trim
ming for roofing houses.
SO, too, you may see the skaters
working at Collyweston, near STAN
ford. When there is likelihood ol
frost, the men dash water on the edges
of the masses of slate which have been
brought up from the pits or Quarl7es
If there are two froSts in rapid sue
cession, with quick thaw between,
all is well, as the slate splits into lay
ers. But a spell OF mild weather
means that the material becomes use
less for anything except conversion
into rubble.

PROVIDES FARMS FOR POOR
Seif-Help Project Fathered by Nebras-
ka PhiIanthropist Seems Move
in Right Direction.

II. D. Watson, millionaire farmer
and philanthropist Of Kearney, Neb.,
who is perhaps doing more than any
other one man in the United States
to make the ''back-tO-the-land" move
ment q reality, is in AlamoSa inveSti-
eating the advantages of the San Luis
valley as a place to locate one Of his
community farm projects, 0. Z. Meyer
writes in the Rocky Mountain News.
Mr. Watson already has acquired a
tract of 800 acres at Carbondale, Colo,
and is now making arrangements for
starting one of his farm communities
there. However, the Carbonate dis
trict is limited in extent and land is
higher priced, and he found it mex
pedient to acquire as large a tract
as he wanted. He will settle family
on each 90 acres Of the Carbondale
tract, and the only condition which
Mr.. Watson places upon an applicant
for one of his community tracts is
that the applicant be absolutely With
out money or other property.
The tenant is located on the tract
with all necessary tools, stock and
seed furnished. In addition he is
furnished with sum Of money during
the first year. After that the land Is
expected to produce enough to make
a living for the family and provide a
sinking fund for Naying for the land.
In six or eight years the farmer it
he Is the right sort, owns his land.

UNFOLDS A TERRIBLE TALE
CAPTAIN Returning From Noyage to the
Torrid Zone Has Story Of Won-
derful Experience.

A terrible tale Of the torrid zone
was unfolG"d by Capt y. II. Torrihle
the other day on the arrival OF the
steamer Denis. which plies between
New York and ManaoiS, a port about
1000 miles up the Amazon river. The
skipper vowed by marine and other
saints that never had he seen sights
SO strange, according TO the New York
Times
On q river which empties into the
Amazon. near MauaoiS. he said he saw
myriaGs Of electric cells so strongly
charged with electricity that the broad
bosom Of the stream was flooded with
light and the crew were able TO read
their pocket Bibles by the glow, which
was estimated at 40 watts per eel.
When Seamen brought some Of these
Acknowledged eelS on deck, Captain
Torrible said, the ships dynamos were
short circuited and there was The dick
ems to pay until the eels were dlscon-
nected.
But Skipper Torrjble hadn't finished.
While the Denis was tied up at the
pier, boy who WAS working with
loading gang fell into the river. The
luminous eelS surgeA around him and
when lie was picked up he was G@ad.
A physician who examined the body
said that The lad was the victim OF
an electric overcharge. Captain Tor
rible brought back with him a sun
lodging monkey, which prowled only
at night. He declared that the Simlan,
like an owl, was casual and apathetic
by day. but when the sun went over
the horizon the monkey had 20-2O
gIims and was an ultra-tively stopper.
The captain took newspaper men into
his cabin, where the pet was kept,
and pulled down the shades. The sun
dodger reacted to the gloom by ap-
propriating and Immediately eating a
straw kelly recently purchased at con-
siderable outlay by one Of the report
erS.
The skipper said that he had pur-
chased a Brazilian slOth to bring back
20 the United States, but the animal
was too lazy to eat and died on the
way here.

Mourning Chevrons on "Beer" Suits.
When the Princeton seniors ap-
peared in their "beer" suits last year,
with a black mourning 6rassard on
the left sleeve, the idea was considered
very nifty. But they've beaten it this
spring. The beer suits were broken out
out early this week, and they have
three snail black chevrons on the left
cuff, each indicating six months Of
prohibition. The beer suit custom is
indigenous to Princeton. Before the
days of Volsteadism the suits-plain
white Jumpers" and pantaloons-ap-
peared, simultaneously with the book
beer signs, and gave unique distinc-
ton to the seniors, passing their last
spring in scholastic trammels. Also,
