The Question.

To wed or not TO wed. that is the question.
Whether it's better to maintain a wife,
Along with all the children that arise,
Or keep myself unto myseif-and go
To where swee; peace and beer await me
every night
And fair girls in blue tights laugh ''Ha!
Hal Hal"
And yet, methinks. TO do the thing state
Is not to do 20 differently from those
Who do these things because they know
no more,
While IL know of better things;
And so 1 think twere best To wed. Sup

Yet is this wise? / know what I will dol
III take one wife and one fair girl in blue
and smile alternate smiles On them,
and so
III please myself both ways. Ah!-ha!

In the mountains of western China
there is supposed to be a giant devil Of
a brilliant red, at the sight of whom
men grow faint with fear. A nan who
lived about 3, coo years ago of the name
of Leedien found that the banging Of
frecrackers would brighten him away;
hence Leedien is the god of firecrackers.
All the red ~firecrackers are intended to
DO used to brighten away the red devil.
while the green and yellow ones are
offerings to Leedien. From the simple
little ti%recracker was gradually evolved
the destructive cannon, which was used
by the Chinese in their war with the
Mongols A. d. 1882. 1t was introduced
into Europe about 1910. Thus we owe
to the Chinese the invention of the n6st

summing up of the half dozen successful
novels of the year, includes with Du
Maurier's Trilby, Hall Gaines Manxman,
Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, The
Heavenly Twins, and Ships That Pass in

known region of the bayous and swamps

prominent magazines and to great va
riety of other publications.

received this week it is stated that three
fourths of the trees were killed. My
opinion is that fifteen years will not see
Florida orange growing back to the pro-
portion of last years crop. For two rea-
sons. 1t is expensive to grow new groves,
as it cannot be done without fertilizers on
pine land. The opinion of the men posted
in the industry throughout the state was
that orange growing had reached its limit
as old pine land groves would die out
faster than the crop would increase IN
bearing in hemlock groves groves, which
are situated about the lakes and water
WAYS, where vegetable mold and hard
wood forest leaves had made a soil that
would grow a tree without much fertilizer,
until it came to bearing.
With these conditionts existing, l can
see nothing but reasonable success for
growers of citrus fruits in Southern Cali
fornia with the exchange movement be-
hind it. | am free to say that believe
without the exchanges orange growing
would be an Improbable business As
the industry has arrived at such proper
tons that individual buyers could not
make judicious distribution of the crop,
and with my experience of twenty five
years handling oranges will say l would
not give so cents OIL the dollar for grove
on what it is worth today were this ex-
change movement abandoned. The ad-
vantages gained by the exchange cannot
be oyerestimated in Southern California.
Including the press and merchants. and
everyone that is in business in Southern
California are deriving an indirect benefit
from the exchange movement. Therefore
the exchange should have the support OF
every grower, great and small, and is
worthy of the moral support of the press,
merchants and bankers.
There will always be influences on the
outside to dsntegate and break up the
exchanges and the incentives OF some
growers will be to hold out and sell indie
pendent, and it behooves every member of
this exchange and the press to get all
such growers in line; and If they are 50
blind they cannot see that it is the ex-
change that makes it possible for them to
sell to outside buyers, | fear if this eX-
change movement goes to pieces their
eyes will be opened when it is too late.
The numerous industries that can be
built up and fostered in Southern Califor-
MIA by this cooperation that is now so
widely known. and started on such broad
lines ought to encourage everyone who
has interests in Southern California to
work to support the exchanges. There is
nothing OF its kind ever started in the
United States SO widely known for the
length of time it has been in existence.
The Oneida community started in New
York over fifty years ago is not so widely
known among fruit dealers throughout
the United States. | sincerely hope for
the exchanges ultimate successes.
