NEW SUP MATERIAL
Western Kansas Weed Used Ex
tensively by Manufacturers.
Bouthwest Has Various Plants That
Can Be Used for Purpose But Prod
uct of Bunflower Stats la
Qlven the Preference.
4 Washington.—Settlers In western
Kansas are cutting and marketing
soap weed, or Spanish bayonet, to sup
ply the demands of soap manufactur
ers, according to a report recently re
ceived from officers of the Kansas na
tional forest There are various plants
in the 'southwest locally known aa
soap weed, called amole by the Mex
icans, but the one gathered by the
Kansas farmers, technically known as
Yucca bacata, a species with excep
tionally large fruits, Is the most used.
The soap manufacturers, however,
utilize the tops or the roots. Manu
facturers are- paying eight dollars a
ton for the plant at the railway sta
tions, while the estimated cost of cut
ting, drying, baling and hauling ranges
from five to afx dollars, depending
u noli the distance to the railroad.
Since a man can-ordinarily get out a
ton a day, the gathering of the soap
weed affords an opportunity to fcecure
a fair day's wages at a time when
other ranch activities are not press
ing. After cutting, the soap weed Is
allowed to dry from 60 to 90 days and
then Is baled. up In the ordinary
broomcorn baling machine.
For a long time this weed has been
made Into a soapy decoction which
the Indian and Mexican women have
used, particularly for washing their
hair, for which purpose k Is consid
ered especially suited, since It con
tains no alkali. Present-day, soap
use It for toilet and
wool soaps. Its qualities have been
known for a long time but the harvest
ing of soap weed Is Just now becom
ing commercially Important.
The Industry Is now operating on
lands adjacent to the Kansas national
forest and It Is expected that the de
mand will soon spread to that forest,
some portions of which bear an abund
ant supply of»the plant There Is a
plentiful supply of it throughout
southern Colorado, Arizona, New Mex
ico and Texas.
Forest officers have considered this
weed a nuisance, since It Is the nature
of the plant to spread over extensive
areas and kill off otber vegetation. It
is particularly a pest on stoctf ranges.
In line with Its policy of range Im
provement; the government Is anxious
to rid the forage areas of all such
Injurious plants, and it Is the hope
of the forest officers that the com
mercial demand for soap weed will
soon reach such proportions that It
will not only take an otherwise use
less product, but also will eradicate
it from areas which could be utilized
to better advantage for the supplying
of forage to cattle and sheep.

U. S. AS AGENT OF FARMERS
Unique Bill Introduced By Senator
Borah—Clearing House for Scien
tific Marketing of Products.
Washington.—A popular govern
ment Institution tor the scientific
marketing of farm products, to be
known as the Agricultural Capital, to
be separate from any existing branch
of the government, was proposed in a
bill by Senator Borah.
Designed primarily to eliminate
middlemen and reduce the cost Of
living, to arrange transportation facili
ties and otherwise improve conditions
of the farmers and consumers, the bill
aroused considerable Interest among
senators by Its radical suggestions,
and was referred to> the agricultural
committee.
The Institution would be controlled
by a board of IB directors. It would
be made up of county organizations
requiring at least 50 farmers in each
county to'form a branch association,
each to conduct the marketing of all
the crops of Its members under rules
and regulations to be drawn by the
general board, which would be elected
by the Individual members every five
years.
Earnings to excess of expenses,
when It should become self-sustaining,
and 3 per cent would be returned
pro rata to the members. Each
branch organization would be con
trolled by a board of trustees and a
general director and would serve not
only as a clearing house for market
ing and standardizing the farmer*'
products, but would also be author
ized to loan capital to Its members
and to assist In the production of
crops.
Senator Borah explained that he
had not written the measure, but had
introduced, it together with a me
morial at the request of E. H. Rettlg,
a farmer of Opportunity, Wash.
In the memorial Rettlg submitted
that farmers were neglected by the
government and he made the declara
tion that the big trusts had done more
good for the public than the govern
ment.
Asserting that competition Is the
mother of waste, Mr. Rettlg said:
"The law of business success Is co
operation.
"Think of the stupidity of our na
tional government," he continued, "en
couraging its citizens to produce
wealth and after It baa been produced
insisting on these same citizens con
testing against each other for pos
session of the things they bave pro
duced.
"I am going to venture the assertion
that the Standard Oil company. Inter
national Harvester company, the Steel
Trust and other so-called trusts the
government has sought to disrupt
have done more real Samaritan service
for the benefit of the masses than our
government."
DUG LIVE QUAIL FROM SNOW
Massachusetts Hatchery Keeper
Found Prize Birds Burled In
Deep Drift.
Springfield, Mass.—Digging live
quail out of a snowbank may sound
like a yarn upon which to look with
suspicion, but that was what the
keeper at the state hatchery at Wll
brabam did after the recent snow
storm.
The fact that the keeper found the
birds burled beneath a foot of snow
Is taken as an indication by sports
men that many others have died be
neath the snow and that the hunting
next season will be far from good.
The flock the keeper rescued Is one
that is allowed to roam at will on the
fame farm. After the big storm he
noticed that the Qttall bad disappeared.
A search of outbuildings falling to re
veal them he took a shovel and pro
ceeded to dig In a field not far from
the bouse where he bad noticed that
the quail spent most of their time.
Eventually be discovered the birds.
They would bave perished In a few
hours of starvation. Apparently they
were unable to fight tbelr way up
through the drift that covered them,
as they were buddled together. First
•id to the injured applied In quail
faablon restored the birds so that they
are now apparently as healthy and aa
lively aa possible.

LOVE-MAKING OF THE DONS
What Is Popularly Known as "Billing
and Cooing" Doesn't Go l.t
Old Castile.
When he Is admitted within, his
doom Is scaled, If that Is a proper ex
pression in connection with a senorlta
of ravishing eyes and hair, says Cen
tury Magazine. Once he has become
a visitor Inside the .great fort-like
doors, he Is expected to declare his
Intention, and stick to it. Even then
there are no sentimental rambles for
him and his senorlta under the palms
of the patio; there are no whispered
conversations full of sweetly maudlin
monotony. He sits In a rocking chair
that is one of a painfully straight row
ranged down the middle of the room.
His senorlta sits In one in a similar
straight row opposite. The rest of
the row Is occupied by the senor
father and the senora mother and the
senoras aunts and the senoritaa sis
ters, and all the rest of the household.
For an hour or two hours they rock
at each other and speak noble polite
nesses. Then the senor father begins
to indicate, very much as senors fa
thers sometimes do In the .United
States, that he frould lay the parental
head on the pillow. The sonor lover
picks up his bat from the stone floor
and rises. The senorlta sweetheart
smiles sweetly at him over her fan,
but with holy calm. The senor father
and the senora mother aay graciously:
"Adols, Don Enrique. It was to us
much pleasure," and Don Enrique
says: ,
"Much thanks: It Is hoped that one
may have the pleasure extreme of ar
riving again some evening?"
"Some evening," l lp the next evening

QUEER ANTICS OF LIGHTNING
Not Always of a Tragic Nature, Soma
Even Humorous to All but
the Victims.
The antics played by lightning are
sometimes almost beyond belief. A
common trick la that of undressing Its
victims. In 1898 two girls and an el
derly woman were standing by a reap
ing machine during £ storm. A light
ning (laab struck the woman and
killed her on the spot, while the two
girls were stripped to the skin, even
their boots being torn from their feet.
Otherwise they were safe and' sound
—and aatonlshed.
. In 18S5 a man was atruck by light
ning near Vallerola, in France, and
atrlpped naked. All that 'could be
found afterwarda of bla clothes was a
shirt sleeve, a few other shr.eds, and
some pieces of his hob-nailed boots.
Ten minutes after be regained con
sciousness, opened bis eyee. com
plained of the cold, and inquired bow
be happened to be naked.
Such Instances have been recorded
again and again. In one caae a man
and two oxen were struck aimultane
oualy and alt three killed. The man
was found stripped to the skin, and
bla boots bad been carried 30 yarda
away. "In other canes," aays Camilla
Flammarlon, the eminent French as
tronomer, "lighting baa been known to !
split men In half, almost aa with a |
huge ax. On June 20, 1(M, this hap

The Touch of Genius.
Sandy Macpherson started to build
a small outhouse of brick. After the
usual plan of bricklayers, he worked
from the Inside, and, as he had the
material close beside him, the walls
were rising fast when noon arrived,
and with It his son, Jock, who brought
his father's dinner.
With honest pride In his eye, Sandy
looked at Jock over the wall on which
he was.engaged, and asked;
"Hoo d'ye think I'm gettln' on??"
"Famous, feyther; but hoo dae ye
get oot? Tou've forgot the door!"
One glance round him showed San
dy that his son was right; but, look
ing kindly at him, he said:
"Man Jock, you've got a gran' held

Tribute to Stenographers.
The classics are furl of allusions
which suggest that no matter what
may have been the defects of short
hand, regarded from a modern stand
point. the stenographers of antiqulty
mußt have been very expert. In some
of Horace's satires he takes a fling at
a brother poet who would often, as a
great feat, dictate 20 verse* In one
hour standing In the same position.
Horace says Luculius, of whom he
spoke, was verbose and too lazy to en
dure the fatigue of writing. He may
have been a sorry poet, but tjie stenog

BUSINESS NOT ALL OF LIFE
Time Bhould Be Taken for Cultivation
of Graeea That Make Existence
Worth tha Having.
Dullness In Its widest sense of com
merce and Industry Is only a means to
an end, remarks the Chicago Evening
Post. It Is an Instrumental activity,
a buttressing and bulwarking of a
personal and social life that should be
bigger and more Important thkn any
of the tools by which It maintains
itself. To mako business an end In
itself, to devote one's whole life to It
Instead of merely safeguarding one's
life by It, Is not only a mistake, but a
blighting one. For business Inevitably
makes demands on a man's character
which would rapidly sear and scar it
If the contrary demands of culture,
religion and the art of using leisure
did not counteract
A little Illustration of this tendency
—only a straw in point of slse, but not
without ita Indicative value—ls given
by German manufacturers. They are
sending out slips to ail their corre
spondents asking them to omit all
forms of courtesy in their -future cor
respondence. Terms equivalent to
our "Dear Sir" and "Youre truly"
waste too much time. With half a
man's life spent on a schedule of
such severe utilitarianism aa that, the
need for a counteracting mood of ap
preciation, of the cultivation of the
graces of life, la obvious. The Idea
of devoting all one's activities to the
demands of. such a spirit—and too
many men do just that—ls revolting
to the moat rudimentary sense of rela

WITH NATURE'S HAIR DYE
Young Lady Vlaltor to South America
Changed Her Blonde Locke to a
Brilliant Red.
A young woman ran down the
gangway of the ship just In from
South American ports, and flung her
arms about tbe neck of a man who
had been waving to her.
"Gracious, Natalie!" he cried,
"what's tbe matter with your hair?
It'a red, and It was blonde when you
went away." '
"Oh," smiled the young woman,
"that's the reeuit of a shampoo from
the water of a little lake In lea, Peru."
She told that during a recent visit
to lea abe bad found that tbe Indians
there had their hair tinted every Im
aginable color. She learned that they
dyed their hair with the waters of
several small lake* In lea, all of which
contained water of dlfforent colors.
"I thought that I would look so
much better if my balr'iwas a deep
red, so I went to the lake containing
tie reddish water, named Keacscbiae.
and shampooed my hair. It certainly
worked fine."

yearly wagee amounting to $10,786,801,

Th* yield of oysters for 1913 was 32.-

of a bushel for every man.'woman and

Is expected during the season to have
oysters on the bill of fare. I» olden
times the epicures of Athens and other
cities close to the ocean had an abund
ance of shellfish such as we uae, and
enjoyed them very much. But to the
Jews this kind of food was forbidden
by their law, which, allowing certain
kinds of flsh, rejected much sea food.

"All sorts and conditions of men

tramp, however, came under my ob
servation who had no lllnalons about
the cause of his own condition.
"A fine looking and fashionably
dressed woman had Just alighted from
her limousine at the hotel entrance,
and was suddenly approached by this
shabbily dressed man, who requested
a dime.
"'No, I- have no money-to spare,
for you. I do not see why an able

" 'I B'POBC, ma'am,' replied the laxy

Knowtsdge and Spelling.
It Is Jolly to rend among all the
contests of spelling reformers that we
bad spellers spell badly because we

of myself. When onto you know three
or four languages—nay French, Iatln.
Oreek and English—you can never be
certain what Is the accepted way,of
spelling such words as "apartment" or

BACK TO. THE HOLY BIBLE
Where Comfort Still Is Found for
Longing Onss ss In ths Days
Long Past.
New York.—Certain of our wise
men of today - have shaded away sin
till It becomes an expression of tem
perament, says Collier's. They tell
us that we sin because our grand
father alnned and because our home
Is situated In the wrong block. These
are clever words of clever comforters,
and surely they ought to wipe away
forever the tears from our eyes. But
tbey do not speak to human need.
They leave the life blighted and the
heart ashamed. Tbey leave the sin
ning one to continue In despair. Hs
does not ssk that his sin shall be ex
plained away. He wishes forglvsnsss
snd a fresh start In the book, which
la not read as once It was, there are
no soft words about sin. But the way
out Is shown. And not only Is for
giveness offered In this book, but
msn's need of comfort Is met. There
la comfort In plenty. Those writers
knsw the human heart. Thsy saw
man broken by bis toil and his grief.
And for this, too, they bad the an
swer. They told of a being of love,
bidden just bsck of this rude and
temporary universe. This love, tbey
ssld. Is conscious of bow the littlest
child and the old msn are sick at
heart for one to come close to their
loneliness. When again will any com
pany of writers say the things they
know In such telling words, such pic
tures of humble life—the boy far
away from the faces of his boms and
far gone In shame—such true storiss
of lowly devotion breaking through
Into beauty? Much Is nwept away be
tween us and them, but not one ac
cent of Naoml'a voice Is lost to us,
snd still the "Turn again, my daugh
ters," Is as wistful as when It
brsathed through the alien com.
What richer conaolation are we hun
gry for that we turn from Judea?
