Among the profitable crops grown
by Californians in the region of San
Francisco il a giant Mediterranean
species of thistle. Soil and climate
there seem to be exactly suited to its
needs. says the Pathfinder.
Attempts TO grow it elsewhere
have invariably resulted in failure.
Like the thistles with which all of us
are familiar it has formidable spines.
only they are longer and more cruel
than the average.
II has large purple flower, so
sweet scented that bees find it ire
sistible. Rarely. however. are the
buds allowed to develop into flowers.

as "artichokes."
A quarter apiece for the buds is
not an unusual price in San Fran
cisco. and at that they take pre-
cedence over the finest oranges. raj

oraftily time their development so
that they NAV be marketed just at
the psychological moment. SO to
speak-that is, in mid-winter, when
there is little else of the same nature
to compete with them.
This is done by cutting back the
plants in June. pruning them down
to the ground. Within a short time
new shoots appear. Then il plant
food and water are supplied in suffi-
cient abundance. the long, sunshiny
DAYS bring about ideal development.
The bud harvest begins I'm October
and reaches its peak about the first
of April. Last year some 500 car
loads of the buds were shipped from
this region. the bulk of the product
going to Western cities.

The oil trade expects that the re-

Personality

Love has fundamental basis in
admiration and respect. You can
rot love some one YOU do not look
up to. While physical beauty is of
ten a powerful means of inspiring
love, 1t does not suffice. Beauty
without intellect and heart is vapid
and dull. What we love in another
Is personality, individuality. Great
men have always been deeply loved
because they had great personalities
NO Silly woman ever held a mans
affection for any length of time.
Only intelligent women with indi-
riduality ever dominated men.
BY intelligent women l do not
mean bluestockings. but 7 mean wo,
men who know how TO think. Ex-
aminations and college courses have
nothing to do with intelligence. They
merely prove that YOU know how to
learn things. Intelligence consists
not in absorbing thoughts, but in
radiating them.
A woman's personality must show
that mind. an intelligence governs
her. A woman who remains silent,
motionless. but who thinks, attracts
and fascinatcs; while feather
Drained doll, who chattors without
knowing what she is saying and
bustles around in vain agitation,
| bores and irritates.
1t is very essential that women
learn TO think. Every woman should
take from a quarter of an hour to
half an hour a day to visit her
soul" During this time she should
reflect on her work, on what she
wants to accomplish and how she
falls short of her ideal. She should
make resolutions as to how to over
come her faults. Many women spend
precious moments exercising their
body upon rising in the morning and
before going to bed at night in the
hope of becoming beautiful. This is
all well and good. But why neglect
the mind? Is not mental training
far more important. than physical
beauty From Delineator.
