Jaret Stone lives near Roberts, in the Egan Bench He’s worth trict. He had a ranch of size, on which he grew eat and things generally. He had good crops when ere was no market and he had poor crops when there a good market. He went broke and lost his ranch, Did he whine? Did he call his neighbors together and and send petitions for relief to the government? Tf you think he did, you don't know Stone. He set his jaw, leased 180 acres of farmland, a friend his security, and buckled down to work. That was Six months ago. He plowed and planted every foot of that arm to russet potatoes. Once his seed was in, he went uit and contracted to sell his coming crop of tubers at 1.35 per 100 pounds. Then he went back to the farm nd cultivated and coaxed his plants, day after day, from up to sundown. Just now he is harvesting and de- “Hivering to his market the greatest single crop of potatoes ‘ever known in Idaho. Stone's yield is running 275 bags of 120 pounds, or beso bushels, to the acre, His total yield will be 4,290,000 wands, and from it he will receive $57,915, After pay- all expenses of rent, seed, etc., he will have $40,000 show for his work of six months, his risk and his That's the story of Stone of Idaho and his little get- -quick scheme. “A man may be down but he's never out.” “Where there's a will there's a way.” And so forth. Stone has proved it by giving and being an object lesson. Senator La Follette came home from Europe with 37 pleces of bag- ‘wage. Evidently he gathered all the facts. : It is the income tax blanks that are to be simpler and not the pay- “ments. . Nobody’s Slave You'd never hear an alarm clock if you lived in Korea. tPeople there pay no attention to time, according to the book, “Wandering in Northern China.” Koreans, reports the author, have no special hours for 4 lage They eat when they get hungry, not before. ‘They don’t go to bed until they’re tired, regardless of the . And they don’t get up in the morning until they Weel like it. After all, there’s a lot of horse sense to the Korean magi of eating and sleeping according to impulse. Im- ise or craving is the voice of nature. _ Nature tells us when we need food. She tells us when we need sleep. Qur ancestors, back yonder in cave-man days, probably “eobeyed nature’s voice. In becoming civilized, we have ysomehow gotten the notion that regularity in our habits ds “the thing.” We are slaves of the clock instead of nature. Regularity, of course, is necessary in this automatic istence, civilization. For civilization is an association Sof individuals, a grouping in herds for mutual benefit. ‘Grouped, we exchange ideas and the products of our Such an exchange necessitates routine. And, the more ‘highly civilized we become, the more routine—mechani- = tal existence—naturally. Mister Poincare again tells what France {s going to do, regardless of all other considerations. It wasn’t so long ago that ho was begging for “other considerations to save France from destruction. Clean House! Quick! A prominent lawyer estimates that 200,000 pages of (i reports and discussions of the courts will be added this year to the already tremendous mass of American legal “precedent.” This undigested and indigestible mass jof precedent, on which the law chiefly rests, is the main feause of legal delay and miscarriage of justice. Some ethical lawyers are working for a restatement ,and clarification of the laws. More power to them.
