SPEND PRISON TERM.
Youth Will . Have to Pass Scriptural
Examination to Regain Freedom.
Harold Lane, a youth, sits in a cell
at the county jail in Los Angeles, a
picture of religious devotion. A visi
tor paused at the grated bar, peered
in and remarked to a warden:
“A religious youth. I am glad to see
that he loves ‘the Bible. Intelligent
reading of the holy book will make
him a better man.”
“Chase ycurself.,” muttered Harold.
“1 ain't reading it because U want to
but because I got to.”
Harold to!d the truth. A unique pun-
ishment has been meted out to him by
| Judge Wilbur. He has been given the
| alternative of serving ten years in th-
penitentiary for violating his probation
or reading the Bible in the county jail
| for thirty days. Harold chose quickly;
| hence his study of the Bible.
| But it will be no perfunctory read-
ling. At the end of thirty days the
| judge, himself a Bible student, will ex-
amine Hdrold. It will be an examina-
tion that will take the youth from cov-
| er to cover of the good book. Harold
knows this, and on his first day in jail
he started at chapter 1.
Before he started on the task he
made a calculation dividing the num-
disappointed.

GROW YOUR OWN VEGETABLES
To Get Them Fresh From the Garden
Pays for All the Trouble Involved
—Locate Near House.
Every farmer should have a vege-
table garden. The idea of the garden
do that—but rather to have the vege-
tables when you want them, and to
have them fresh. How much more
pleasant it is to go out into the garden
and get fresh vegetables than to bring
them from the market where they have
lain for two days or a week. There is
a spot on every farm that could be re-
served for a garden large enough to
produce vegetables for home use.
The garden should be located near
the house. If it must be out in the
fleld it should not be near an alfalfa
field, for when the first crop of hay
is cut the grasshoppers will migrate
from the alfalfa field into the garden.
The spot selected should be rich, fer
tile and easy to work. If irrigation can
be practiced, the garden should be laid
out in a. convenient manner for this
purpose.
It is not necessary that every kind
of vegetable be grown, but most of
the common ones should be planted.
A good list of vegetables that should
be found on every farm includes as
paragus, lettuce, radishes, spinaca,
onions, cabbage, beans, peas, corn and
tomatoes. Vegetables that are not
perishable are not so important, but it
would be a good plan to grow them
also.
DON’T KEEP SCRUB POULTRY
Poultry Breeder Keeps Pure-Bred
Stock Because of Added Enthusi-
asm and Increased Profits.
The successful poultry breeder,
whether he breeds for market or for
fancy purposes, Kkeeps pure-bred
stock. A man who keeps pure-bred
fowls is proud of them. He takes de-
daily.
The punishment was suggested by
his unlucky venture in a church. - He
rian church with five Bibles. His only
regard for them was their money val
we. He needed money, and he sold
them at a second hand book store.
His arrest followed.
The court saw by the records that
Harold had violated his probation.
He came before Judge Wilbur some
years ago for burglary. Judge Wilbur
gave him a ten year sentence and sus-
pended it, placing him on probation.
He walked the straight path for three
years. Then he went to San Fran-
elsco and did vaudeville stunts. His
existence was precarious, but appar-
ently he was honest as far as the evi-
dence shows. Then he fell, and now
he is being punished.

i ceeds So well because he has become
i a real poultry fancier to the extent
{ that he has conceived a liking for his
stock beyond its intrinsic value as
a maker of dollars for him. His en-
thusiasm leads him to give his fowls
the best of care and attention, and as
a result his business grows tremen-
dously. Such poultry breeders induct
into the minds of others some of their
own earnestness of purpose and create
an interest in poultry raising among
them. This is one of the causes of the
increased demand for pure-bred poul-
try.
If you visit the owner of a flock of
mongrel fowls of many colors, shapes
and sizes you will find a man who is
not enthusiastic about the poultry
business. It will serve as an illustra-
tion of the fact that the scrub fowl
cannot arouse permanent and abiding
interest.
