This is the time of the year that subsoiling should be dons. Subsoiling will open up the lower strata of the soil, thus aerating the soil and giving the roots an opportunity to function better, deeper down in the soil than is possible by the old system of tillage. It will also enable the moisture to penetrate more easily. The breaking up of the plough sole is of importance. This will be accomplished if subsoiling work is done now.

The residents of Pope Valley who live in the vicinity of the Pope Valley store made arrangements last Friday evening with the representatives of the California Telephone and Light Company whereby that company plans to serve six persons in the immediate vicinity with electric light and power. Pope Valley is to be congratulated upon this forward step. Charles Pflster of Pope Valley will this fall install 2,000 feet of drain tile on the Siemson Bros, ranch, which they are farming.

I One farmer in the Napa Valley this year made the mistake of picking up the orchard heaters with oil In them and setting them in the crotches of his prune trees. The pots leaked and saturated the trunks of the trees with the oil, doing damage that will require years to overcome.

The handling of oils in an orchard is very dangerous and growers should be very particular not to damage their trees with it. It is unfortunate that this man made this mistake, but we hoipe others will profit by it. John Cantoni, director of the Salvador farm center, is now diying prunes for the farmers of the Ber-ryesVi Valley. The Napa and Garden Club have appointed a committee to arrange with someone in Napa to (get the necessary equipment for the spray- ing of trees and shrubs within the city limits. Very often fruit trees in back yards are responsible for the spread of insect pests because in the past they have not been sprayed.

Finally she gett a typewriting assignment from Myron Sldreige, the famous dramatic critic. CHAPTER XXVIII Continued A few evenings later ha came back. No, dont bother about that now, ha said, when Molly started to taka up the work he had brought, Ha and tka ser-etary ware atlll at daggers' points, though spasmodic overtures of peace ware being made on both aides.

Sit down, I want to talk to you." And when ha had her opposite at the table. Tve got a Straight, safe, and sane business proposition to make to you. Well, it's not altogether business either. "Your plays not Impossible. Of course you know no more about practical stage technique than a baba unborn very little more but I can help you there.

I may be able to get it put on. "Meanwhile youre In a hard row. You've had, I take It, about as much poverty as one person can ba expected to stand In a lifetime. Poverty up to a certain point may ba all right. Beyond that its deadly and blasting.

It grinds down the aoul. I think you've reached that point. I like you. 1 couldnt say why, exactly, but that first morning One minute. Fm not a marrying man.

Besides, I like my own privacy. you looked so absurdly like a pigheaded little boy scared deep down inside, but prepared to die rather than let anybody know. And when yqu sat there pegging away at that damnable book, 1 kept having the most Insane desire to kiss a certain small spot on the back of your neck I have it still. One minute. I'm not a marrying man.

I honestly believe that the lioly institution of matrimony is about the unhoilest thing that's managed to survive the Dark Ages. Besides, I like my own privacy, my own unrestricted personal life. I think you like yours. "I don't know whats happened to you, but 1 do know you're barely one quarter alive. You can't go on like that.

Youve got to be brought to roused. You need me just as much as 1 need you, only you don't know it. Women of your kind never do thats the tragedy of It. "So far as Im concerned, the arrangement would be permanent. You see, I'vd been doing some pretty serious thlnkiDg about It these weeks I only don't want us to begin bating each other straight off because of that hideous panicky sensation that we're chained together for life Siamese-twin fashion.

Thats the key to the whole snarled-up problem. Give people all the freedom they want, and they dont want it. Molly shook her head. But, you see, 1 dont care for you. "Well.

Ive hardly given you time for that. 1 know it all sounds crude and raw. I wouldn't have spoken so abruptly, but I bated your going on like this denying yourself the actual necessities of life, worrying over rent and milk bills, doing that beastly typing for those beasts of men. That most of all. I'm really pretty keen about you, you know.

1 like you, too, Moll; said, "but not that way. "You'd come to. She shook ber head. If I were do what you ask, my life would Personal Mention Dr. Robert rees and Mrs.

He went away directly, puzzled. Impatient by no means convinced. Two evenings later he appeared. "Get out the be ordered at once.

"We're going to work on It to-night. Well, whats the trouble?" he added Irritably, when Molly made no move to obey. It wouldn't be fair. Your helping me with the play meana so much mors than anything else in the world, almost. And I can't do anything for you In return.

I cant ever, you know. Its absolutely final." Oh, well, hang It all, he said, more Irritably. I'm not asking any pay, am I've done as moch for plenty of other people without expecting or getting anything in return. Bring ont the blessed play. Molly brought It out.

Queer about this man, Cochran damned queer. The scene again was Molly's little sitting-room; the time tome weeks after the play had gone on. Eldredge shifted bis paper under the reading lamp to get a better -light on it. "Why queer?" ehe said at last, when she could trust herself to speak. A politician who doesn't want anything Great Scott! Why, see here," he thumped the headlines impatiently, only today he turned down the highest office In the gift of the Executive who, If rumors to be trusted, pretty well owes his Job to him.

No" he shook his head sagely I don't understand half I know about It. Neither does anybody else. But my prophetic nose tells me there's something rotten at the home address of Hamlet!" "Maybe he doesn't want anything." Molly ventured. "Well, my theory Is, he's only taking this startling and unheard of method to advertise himself. Next thing he'll be coming out for Pres ident or the Lord knows- what.

Clever damned clever." "Its too bad, dont you that we cant even conceive of a mans giving whatever taient has to his country without wanting anything in return? Molly suggested quietly. "Yes one might suppose In a nation of millionaires there would be a dozen men who would turn to politics as a science, an art. a recreation, even Just as others turn to collecting and the like. But, no, its far more important we should have the latest assemblage of Napoleon's snuff boxes or some sllnkly looking Madonna of Benvenuto Cellini. "I was at a little dinner last night given in this Cochran mans honor-guess thats what set me going about him.

He seemed a quiet, linnretet.tioiis sort all right spoke briefly. "By the way th woman he Is to marry was there, too a charming creature, great favorite in Washington official circles, 1 understand. Great favorite with the old dowager, his mother, too which Is far more important! Who was this woman, anyway? What was she that she dared Charming. he had said. Rich, too, no doubt, cultured, of good family everything that she.

Molly, should have been. A great favorite, moreover, with his mother. Again and again she was beaten down, driven into a corner. She was on the point of deciding to go to Greg at once near, oh so dangerously near in Washington. She would tell him everything.

Put reason stepned In eold'v to Intervene She knew be would never consent to such an arrangement. and besides there would be still a twofold danger of exposure: a danger all the more critical now that he was getting to be not merely a national but an International figure. No.

she must abide her decision. CHAPTER XXIX With spring came America's entrance Into the war. Among the amazing recessions and emergencies of that amazing period, nothing was more remarkable than the part played by a certain quiet man from the "wilds of the Southwest. Abroad, no one was listened to with more respect. both for himself and for what he unofficially represented.

At home, no one, with the excep tion of the Executive himself, was more besieged, invoked, harassed. The facts were too simple and obvious to be believed, and a thousand absurd and fantastic stories were abroad. Among these the rumor of his approaching marriage persisted. (To be continued.)

Vingie Roe Lawton, the authoress who owns a ranch In Wooden Valley, has completed the construction of a large eastern type barn.

It is quite an addition to the valley. The fruit growers of the Berry-essa Valley will spray their pear trees for blister mite this fall. They will use lime sulphur, dormant strength. H. O.

Stirnus of Calistnga will install 3,000 feet of drain tile in his orchard this season. Farmers who expect a maximum production from their soil should add to their equipment a good soil auger. We recently used a soil auger on one man's ranch where we found a water table within 18 inches of the surface. In addition to revealing high water tables a soil auger will tell the farmer what is beneath his ground below the plough pan. We hope that a number -of farmers In the county will this year acquire this very essential piece of equipment.

H. D. Williamson of Napa, who owns a large dairy ranch on Grizzley Island in Solano county, visited Russ Island in southern Napa county on October 4th for the puropse of seeing a plot of Harding gross which is doing well on the tule lands of southern Napa county. The boys and girls of the Napa County Agricultural Clubs will have an opportunity of going to Davis on October 18th, 19th and 20th. Those who have done good work and completed their records will be awarded this trip.

A special coach on the Southern Pacific Company will transport them to and from Davis. We expect that about 70 will go from Napa county. Several Clothing Club leaders met on Thursday in the agricultural extension service office at Napa to ex hibit the sewing work done by their various club members.

Highway Development At Stake at Election Firing the opening gun in a State- wide campaign to defeat Initiative Measure No. 8, the Los Angeles mittee.of the California State Auto- mobile Association yesterday issued an official statement declaring that this measure is wholly inadequate, viciously sectional, and extremely dangerous. Brunniers statement was issued in the name of the Good Roads-Gas Tax Campaign Committee of which he is chairman of the executive committee. Charles W. Meyer, president of the County Supervisors Association of California, is vice-chairman of the executive committee of the campaign organization which was the one-cent gasoline tax.

The Automobile Association and the Supervisors Association are the two organizations which conducted the successful campaign to place the gasoline tax measure on the November ballot. "Californias highway development is at stake in the November election, Burnnier declared. Passage of the Los Angeles highway, measure would write into the State constitution complicated and untried of classifying roads, dividing funds and administeaing highw-ay affairs that are a menace to the future development and prosperity of this State. Its hard-and-fast provisions could not be changed to meet un-forseen conditions without another vote of the people. Sounded Pcrsonnal Mrs.

Judge Housers past experience has prepared him for the highest State tribunal, his friends point out, as the district court of appeals and the State supreme court are both appelate tribunals. Judge Houser has been associate Justice of the appellate court, second district, division No. 1, since 1922, when he was elected by a majority of over 25,010. Prior to that time he had served sixteen years as superior court Judge, this experience being preceded by two terms in the legislature.

Since his elevation to the appellate court bench, he has been called upon a number of times by the State supreme court to sit as a member. Appropriate Stationery For the hanker Note paper. For the aviator Fly paper. For the financier Bond. For the bride Linen.
