BELIEVE RICE HAS A SOUL
For That Reason Javanese islanders
Perform Ceremony Which They
Call a Wedding.

Rice is the most important food
product of the island of Java. The
islanders believe that rice has soul.
In order to keep on good terms with
the "rice SOUL" prayers are offered
to the rice plant, and offerings of
fruit and flowers are made to it. One
of the prettiest ceremonies Of the
island is the wedding Of the rice, +"
make-believe marriage ceremony
which takes place every year at har-
vest time.
On the "1ucky" day the Dookoon
calls the relatives and friends of the
owner and leads them into the field.
They are all in holiday dress and
wear garlands of flowers about their
heads and bodies. The Dookoon Sc
lects two stalks Of rice of the same
length and thickness, to represent
the bride and groom. Then four
other stalks, two to represent the
bridesmaids and two to represent the
best man, are selected.
The bridal party" is smeared
with yellow unguent, decorated with
garlands of flowers, shaded from the
sun with palm leaf awning, and
the stalks are cut around them.
After a great feast the party sets
out for the granary, where the
bridal party is locked for 40 DAYS
to denote the passing of the honey
moon.

Helen was the daughter Of Zeus.
the great Greek god, and the wife Of
Menelaus of Sparta. She was the most
beautiful woman in Greece, and was
indirectly the cause Of the Trojan
war.
She was carried of by Paris, the son
of Priam, to Troy, it being claimed
that the goddess of love, Aphrodite,
had much TO do with persuading her
to leave her husband, Menelaus. After
the death of Paris she married his
brother. whom she later betrayed
when Troy was captured by the
Greeks. She then returned to Sparta
with MeneIaus, and lived happily with
her original husband until their death.

sAvAGES NOT ALL FIERCE
Travellers Have Told Of Tribes in the
West Indies Wno Were Models

The white man has often demon
allied sayages who before had been
models of morality. The Caribs of
the West Indies we're very warllke,

origines first seen by Columbus as
having been the most gentle and
benevolent of the human race.
Schomburgk, the traveller, who knew
the warlike Caribs well in their
home life, draws a paradiselike pic

them peace, cheerfulness and simple
family affection, sacrificing friend
ship and gratitude.

GARDEN PESTS.

Garden time is near at hand In the
rast we have always had more or less
loss and discontinue from the root
nuggets which attack our cabbage,
eauhflower. lettuce, radishes, turnips
and rutabagas causing them 10 be I'M
fit for table use if not entirely dis
troved by the burroughings Of these
tiny worms.
There are several varieties of these
maggots but their appearance and
depredations are practically the same
ana treatment for one win suffice for
the others.
The adult Of the cabbage maggot is
q small (two-winged fly, about one
eighth inch in length, being dark in
color with gray markings. 1t appears
in early spring and lays its eggs on
the stems of its favorite food plants
at the surface of the ground. These
hatch into dirty white footless mag
gots which work their way down the
plants into the ground eating as they
go. Once in the ground they feed on
the roots and are capable of destroy
ing the entire root of small tender
plant. In about three weeks these
larva transform into pupa and thence
into second brood of flies wich ap-
pear about the middle of June or up
to the middle of July.
The best method of control is to
construct frame over the seed bed
covering it with cheese cloth. This
will be nearly one hundred per cent
efficient in keeping the adult flies
from the tender plants, besides lessen
ing the damage done by the flea
beetles.
AS maggot killer one of the best
remedies is an application of corrosive
sublimate solution. The corrosive sub
Innate may be secured from your drug
gist, and be sure to get the powder or
crystal form and not the tablets. Pre-
pare it by disolving in a glass or earth
enware vessel, as it will corrode metal,
one-half ounce of corrosive sublimate
in pint of hot water diluting to five
gallons. A level teaspoonfull will
make two and half gallons of solu-
ton. For early cabbage apply soon
after setting out or as soon as the
small white eggs are observed at the
base of the plants, following this ap-
plication by another about twelve
days later. About half a teacup full
poured at the base of each plant is
sufficient. The later cabbages usually
do not need to be treated. For cauh-
flower apply as for cabbage. For rad
ishesL turnips, rutabagas etc, apply
along the row, using about one gallon
to each thirty-five feet of row. Us
ually one application is sufficient for
the latter root crops applying after
they are above the ground.
tThe early fly's the one to swat;
1t comes before the weather's hot;
1t sits around and files it's legs
And lays at least million eggs. /"
A little preventative may save the
early garden. Cut this article out and
be ready for the pest when your plants
come up. Carl M. Grayson,
Idaho County Agricultural Agent.

T ONDON, July 27.-When a
roomful Of poorly paid Eng
- fish weavers got together in
1914 and formed a cooperative society
for the purpose of opening a little
saving money for themselves on
of a big wholesale cooperative So
ciety also.
The latter came as a matter Of
evolution. 1t responded to a very
real need of the various retail CO.
operative societies that sprang into
being in England.
The retails brought about the ne
csssity Of the wholesale society. They
created it's market. They gathered
it's capital. They cultivated its field.
Necessity Brought 1t
The wholesale society as known in
England was not a matter of delib-
crate planning. 1t grew out Of a
desperate need. The little struggling
retail cooperative societies found
themselves in trouble.
They were being boycotted by some
of the big wholesale grocers who
either would not sell to them at all,
or demanded rigorous trade condi-
tons. or favored their rivals, the
other privately owned retail grocery
stores.
So sixty years ago, as soon as par
liamentary restrictions were removed
by proper legislation, forty-eight re-
tail cooperative societies laid the
groundwork for what was afterward
to be christened the Cooperative
Wholesale Society. It began active
business in the following year, 1864
Warehouse I'm Manchester
1t sent its agents to Ireland, where
they bought milk. cream, cheese, eggs
and bacon from the Irish farmers.
The same thing was done in Denmark.
The same thing was done in England
itself.
From dealing directly with the pro-
ducers of foods, the wholesale society
turned naturally to the next logical
step. 1t became a producer and man
itself AS the retail socie-
ties grew in numbers and demands
the directors of the wholesale society
could figure on a large and growing
market for certain kinds of things
that were always consumed, no mat
ter what happened to the country.
SO gradually factory after factory
was erected. owned and operated by
the wholesale society.
In 1920 the net sales OF the whole
sale society were over a half billion
dollars. In 1922. owing to the world
crisis in industry and the fall in com
modify prices, the wholesale society
sold two hundred million dollars less
goods.

Ask En-
By BERTON BRALEY


When any one dishes up scandal
Or whispers a tale in my ear,
listen perforce as a matter of
course,
It's stuff which one doubtless must
hear;
But when my informant has finished
The gossip he came to disclose,
quietly say in a casual way,
who told you about it?
And where did HE learn it.?
And how do you know that he
knows?"
It's seldom the gossips can answer
A question as simple as that
They mutter word about Some
thing / heard"
Or, We'll, it's Just general chat"
They hem and they haw and they
stammer,
They guess" and they think and
suppose"
But, oh, they are wary indeed when
you query,
Who told you about it?
And where did SHE learn it?
And how do you know that
she knows?"
A scandal that's false and malicious
Can stir up all manner of strife,
And rumor unfounded has often
times bounded
A man or woman for life;
Don't hurry TO spread any gossip
Regarding the high or the low;
"They say!" Who are "They?" By
what right do they say?
who told them about it?
And where did THEY learn
it?
And how do you know that
they know?"

1T HE Pullman was crawling

It was getting along toward dusk
and the Irishman got up to turn on
the lights in the smoker. The switch
was one of the kind which turns the
lights throughout the car on a se-
ries.; the first turn lighting the clus-
ter at the end of the car farthest
from the smoker. The Irishman gave
