SOUNDED FAMILIAR TO HER
Letter Of Old Sweetheart Had Reool-

RAISING Situation.

1t was while attending college that
I met a young man who was a veri-
table Hercules. Then, too, he was a
westerner and affected broad SOM
brero in which he was especially no.
tlceable:- Indeed, many fair young CO
eds wore their handsomest smiles
when he passed, which had occasion
to notice on my frequent walks with
him. Naturally felt singularly
blessed In receiving his undivided at
tention and was soon hopelessly In
love. I had reason to feel my affec-
tions were returned.
One weekend went to visit for.
mer classmate who was teaching In
nearby town. While there I re-
ceived a letter from my admlrer. II
was a thriller and I wanted to share
1t with my friend, so read parts of
1t. Suddenly noticed she was laugh.

amusing.

New Source Of Electricity.

Electricity from brown coal Is the
bold undertaking now being put
through by the government of Vic
toria. The scheme provides for the
erection Of generating station on the
coalfield with an initial capacity OF
10000 kilowatts, but capable of doub.
ling. The estimated cost Is about
$12.OOO0OO for the initial development,
and over So5,O0O, 900 for the final prof.
ect. The first section will include four
12,5O0-kilowatt turbo-alternatOrs run
ming at 5000 revolutions per minute,
: with an S0O-kilowatt set Nfsr starting
UP the bigger ones. The boilers and
the steel for the buildings are actually
under construction, and preliminary
steps are being taken for the erection
Of the high-tenslon transmission line
Of 112 miles to point near Mel

BOOSTS the ao0LDEN STATE
Report q pIrsetsr Of Agriculture Of
California, Cannot Ds Otherwise
81 Than Encouraging.

In his annual report, Director Of Az
rculture G. H. Hecke states that the
value of the farm crops Of the state
In 1922 was $397, 100000. The produc-
ton Of the year was the greatest In
the history Of the state, but, Of course.
values do not equal that of some
what smaller tonnage at peak war
prices. The values given are farm
values. With all the development Of
our fruit Industries, the value Of field
crops has hitherto exceeded that of
our orchards and vineyards, but In
1922 our fruit crops brought $194.-
$4,000, as against $1S6. TO, 900 for field
crops. This was due largely to in
creased fruit acreage coming into
bearing, but fruit prices were relative
ly better than prices Of field crops.
A large crop of wine grapes at $75 to
500 ton helped q lot. Concurrent
ly with the report of the director COW
ering last years output, the crop-re-
porting service states that the OUT
look for the current year Is excellent.
Director Hecke states that Califor-
mia Is now experiencing the most rapid
agricultural development In our his
tory. Not only Is cultivated acreage
increasing. but better and more inten-
sive farming Is getting better yields.
Also more people are arriving to help
till the soil. During the last two or
three years we have frequently had oc-
caslon to say that California was the
most prosperous spot in the world.
That situation still continues.-San

Old English Custom Revived.

An ancient custom Of rocking" the
baby, In his church that had been al
lowed to lapse for century, was re-
vived by the vicar of Blidworth, Eng
land, at the Sunday evening service
followi ing Candlemas. The latest born
baby boy Of the parish was taken to
the church by Its parents and placed
in an old wooden cradle, decorated
with Candlemas flowers and with two
candles on either side. that was dedi-
Gated by the vicar "a bachelor) who
rocked" the cradle several times, in
side the altar rails. The rocking" Is
not legend. but an important village
ceremony that recalls Chrlst's presen-
tatlon to the temple, and calls Chris
tian parents to offer their infants to
Christ. The ceremony died out be-
cause Candlemas was bad time to
expose baby, for February breezes
touch infant cheeks very roughly.
