XXTHILE Antony Won Leeuwenhoek was busy peer
w ing through his little microscopes in Holland,
an audience was being formed in England to hear
the results of his researches.
This fact is as important as the fact that Leeuwen
hook was at work When Calico turned his telescope
upon the sky, there were professors in Italy who de-
MED that he saw what he said he saw. When he in
vited them to look through the telescope for them
selves, they refused to do so.
Without a responsive and sympathetic audience,
Leeuwenhock might have received ridicule instead of

Church College Broke


Jonesboro College will have to
close, according to President j. N.
Mallory, if $4,000 is not raised by
local subscription Immediately. The
college is supported by the Baptist
Home Mission Board, with head e
quarters at Atlanta, Ca.
That board has about 100000
less than it thought it had due 10
an excess of faith IN an ex-convict,
or to failure to make the proper i'll
vestigation.
For ten years a man has been
acting as treasurer OF the Baptist
Home Mission Board who had a
prison record. Did those in charge
know this, or were they too infar
uated with the idea of reforming
sinners to take the right kind OF
precautions?"
AS Shakespeare said, "the quail
ity of mercy is not strained" but
it should hardly be exercised with
out some care, especially when
other folks money is involved and
when the education of innocent
boys and girls is at stake.
Right-mindedness requires back
bone. Otherwise you cannot tell
when it is right. We do not place
enough premium on an honest ca
reer in this country.
The young man or young woman
who goes straight often fails to get
the sympathy and almost never gets
the publicity reserved for those who
go crooked.
The reformation of offenders is
desirable if and when it can be &C
complished without taking unneces-
sary risks, but the appreciation of
those, who have played the game
square is even more desirable.

Mother Love Blind

Mother love is at once the most
beautiful and the blindest mani
festation OF human nature. 1t
hardly could be one without being
the other.
Men glorify it because Of the
lengths to which it will go in their
behalf, because when everything
else fails they can depend on it.
1t has been adored since the
dawn Of consciousness for its un-
changing character, for it's unut-
terable constancy, for its willing
ness to bear burdens and make sac
rifices, no matter how heavy they
may be.
1t has entered the prison cell that
every one else spurned, has stood
on the gallows to seal its sanctity
with a parting kiss while angry
thousands howled for blood has
forgiven the seventy times seven
transgressions required by Holy
Writ.
AS a general proposition how
ever mother love stands for right
eousness regardless of how ready it
may. be to console the unrighteous,
all of which makes this horrible
California case an anomaly.
A mother, we are informed, not
only stood by her degenerate son,
but actually assisted him to carry
out his perverted whims, not only
condoned his monstrous offenses
against decency, but agreed to
shoulder the blame if they were dis
covered.
Such things strain the imagina-
ton. They make one wonder
whether civilization, with all it's adj
vantages and achievements, is not
producing new forms of Madness

HOOVER NOT THE FIRST

Just why such a prominent Republican as Raymond
Benjamin should fail into the mistake of naming Her
bert Hoover as the first far westerner be the stand
ard bearer of the Republican party in presidential
campaign is rather puzzng, yet he has done in iss
ing call for all far WestenerS to support Mr. Hoover
However, he is not alone Ever since there
little to doubt Hoovers success Kansas City
party leaders, even newspapers have acclaimed him
the first WeSterner honored.
Resenting the slight thus unntentionalIy made
against great Republican, pleased to point
out that the very first candidate the Republican party
ever nominated for the presidency not only far
WesteTner. but a CalifOrnian-JOhn c. Fremont
In 1856, The Pathfnder.' who was responsible
for SO many expeditions Of discovery in all parts OF
the west but particularly in California; who as mill
tary governor Of California had, in 1847, concluded
with Mexico the articles Of capitulaton by which that
nation ceded this state to the United States and who
acted civil governor of the the territory nom
mated for the presidency by the newly formed Repub-
lcan party. He defeated
Fremont was the owner of the valuable Mariposa
estate in the northern part of California and certainly
is entitled to be known Californian.
Mr.. Benjamin. former state chairman of the
Republican party in California should not be so re-
miss about historical facts. Certainly all should
support Hoover, but cannot do the claim that
he is the first farwestern candidate That honor be-
longs to John c.. Fremont.

Uncle Wiggily had been caught

GOFERNOR'S ACTION WISE

Action taken by Governor Young several weeks
ago, in committing to life Imprisonment the death
penalty imposed upon negro when it made
known to the governor that the condemned could
live but short while, vndicated yesterday when
the end for him whose life the state had spared.
Execution by the state is terrible thing at best.
It becomes even terrible and shocking when,
in Arizona and Washington, D. c., recently, sick
the state might claim their lives. The spectacle of
unconscious man being taken from strecher and put
to death in the capital of country calling itself civil
lied is not elevatng regardless of how much
the poor wretch may have deserved such punishment
That Governor Young prevented such thing hap
pening in California is something for which the whole
state can be thankful. There is difference between
pardoning some depraved criminal who has been able
to raise sufficient maudin sympathy to hide the hide
BUSINESS of his crime and refusing claim the life of
a wretch upon whom death has already placed its
hands. Governor Young is fully capable of distin-
gushing between such cases

time to his distinct advantage in
higher herd average and lowered
production costs.
Some of the dairymen located at
long distances from market are
now finding it profitable to diversi-
fly their intensive dairy program by
the addition of swine to their for
mer specialized livestock interests;
shipping cream at prevailing butter
fat prices and feeding the skim
milk to growing pigs with some of
the local second or third grade bar
ley. beans or other fattcning foods
which are obtainablc locally at
various seasons Of the year. Many
of the dairymcn are working this
plan out to nyite distinct advantage
over the former practice of ship
ping whole milk, as in addition to
revenue from sale of hogs, they
have less transportation costs on
the cream than milk and also the
additional fertility remaining on
the ranch from the hog and calf
feeding.
The larger dairy farm owners are
nearly all acquiring adjoining low
er price land, when available, where
some COWS can be put up for the
dry period feeding, when the pas
ture will not carry them.
Some darymen have ranches, ~
addition to their home place, wherd
they haul their dry cows and wean
cd calves to the ranch with theii
own trucks, and returning, BRING
fresh cows back to the dairy.
These ranches provide pasture
feed to supply cheaper carrying
over and raising costs than are pos
sible at the intensive dairy farms

LOS ANGELES, July THE
large number of dairy cows coming
into the various livestock markets
during recent weeks is an indication
that dairy men are taking advan-
tage of the prcseAt favorable beef
prices to dispose of some Of the low
cr producing animals in their hcfds
at prices which compare very tav-
orably- with the original price paid
for these animals when they were
first purchased as fresh cows or
springers.
There has been as high as 1870 of
the cattle receipts ut some markets
consisting of this class of animal,
and as these are fat, and have been
on full feed, they dress out well
and make very acceptable meat
when compared with the ordinary
run of cattle. Recent instances are
recorded where dairymcn have re
ceivcd more than $4,000 per head
fer cows going to the packers,
The packing interests look with
favor on this grade of cattle be.
cause they dress out fairly high As
when approaching the drying off
period they take on considerable
flesh. At present prices approx
mately three discarded cows will
take care of the purchase of two
fresh cows, which is a favorable
exchange, considering the price re.
ceived during the producing period
of one to three years.
Almost any dairymen can make
SOME requirements ut the present
