During 1920 and 1921, when the
financial depression caused "the
bottom to drop out' in the valley,
the Kellcy's spent q year and a
half on the ranch near Heber.
There was no market for Mr.. Kcl-
ley's alfalfa; the price had dropped.
The scanty savings of the family
were exhausted, and it was all they

"Our lives have just evolved as
peoples usually do,o said Mrs. Kel-
ley with cheerful smile when she
told her story to the Press reporter.
However, not many people would
have had the courage to write a
book, under such circumstances, even
( though they were possessed of Mrs.
Keliey's undeniable ability. For
out of the period of ten years si-
lence, during which Mrs. Kelley had
mot written word, came the deter
mination to write "Weeds,' which

Rgrape cuttings. The first half of
the book was then written in long
hand, and most of it out of DOORS.
Critics Praise weeds
Following the publication of
!. "Weeds,' in the fall Of 1923, the
letters of commentator began to
come in from critics who are not
ordinarily given to generosity in
their praise. However, the book is
not one to appeal to the undiscrim-
mating reader, and the sales have
not been large.
, Recognition in the form of $500
to assist Edith Summers Kelley
while writing another novel has
come from the Civil Liberties Per-
sonal Service fund sponsored by the
Civil Liberties Union. On this, and
on the proceeds of the wee chicken
farm and the products which they
raise, the family is now living.
A couple of weeks ago Mrs. Kel-
lev started work on Il novel of I'M
perial Valley. 1t will be a "color
full narrative' to use her own ex
preston and as Mrs. Kelley felt
the haunting charm of the reclaimed
desert, it seems very probable that
her second book will have much
stronger claim on popular interest,
even though the author holdsst her
present 4highaa standard set by

to claim its small part in being the
inspiration for that really fine book,
and the setting for another from the
pen of Edith Summers Kelley.

shake them well. Hang them with

might easily be possible, even after

But there has developed during

merely that business proposes to

TXIASHINGTON, D. C.-The ac.
w ton of Congress in overriding
the presidents veto on the bonus
is believed to have made more Ger.
tain veto on the tax bill when
1T is finally submitted to the White
House.
For one thing, enactment Of the
bonus makes. necessary the raising
of $144,00o,o00 in taxes for 1925
(which would not have been needed
had the presidential veto stood.
The rates in the revenue bill, as
it finally will be presented, will be
substantially the Democratic rates.
which both Mellon and Coolidge
have opposed as unscientific and
inadequate. The jamming through
of the bonus, therefore, against his
wishes and advise, gives the presi.
dent a plausible basis for rejecting
the tax bill on the ground the new
rates will not raise enough cash to
meet other necessary expenses OF
the government and also provide
the money for the bonus on which
Congress insists.

ECONOMY IN

Letter Sent by State Depart

Suggestions for methods of effect

ed by State Superintendent Minnie
j. Nelson in Il circular letter to city
superintendent Of schools in the
state, in which Miss Nelson also
asks that Jefferson Week" be OBJ
served in the schools and asks
promptness in supplying information
to aid the teachers certification de-
partment.
Ere this you are doubtless aware
of the fact that the petitions for the
Gunderson Measure were not filed
due to the fact that they lacked a
thousand signatures, so the bill will
not be voted upon in the June prm-
aries, says Miss Nelson. IF the
measure had become law many
school districts would have been SER
}iously crippled. Now that that dan
| ger is over some constructive work
can be done in eliminating waste and
| thus sanely reducing expenditures.
! We know that school boards and SUI
perintendents are carefully studying
the problem of finance, and are do
| ing much to reduce expenses and
maintain efficiency. In many of the
small schools they plan to eliminate
many electives and thus reduce the
number of teachers and classes. We
ar" working now on curricuia for
high schools with a limited number

Swedish State Church on an equal

favor Of the women. The committee,
however, recommended careful
selection and gradual admission and,
at first, to those. clerical posts which
would benefit most from the kind OF
service for which women are peculi-
arly fitted.
Opinions of chapters all over
Sweden have been requested by the
government. While all the chapters
emphasize the great value Of women
in Christian and parOchinl work in
general and urge further utilization
Of their services, virtually all voiced
strong objection to the admission Npf
