GLORY OF THE REPUBLIC.
An Extract From an Address by Ma
tional Master Aaron Jones.

An Extract From an Address by Na-
tional Master Aaron Jones.
The glory OF this republic does not
lie alone In her vast system OF rail-
ways or I'm the great manufactures
placed throughout the length and
breadth OF the land. More than hun
dred years ago-yea. through all peri
great industry OF our country was the
agricultural. Ii was the first, IL was
the second. il was the third. and today
IL holds its place among the industrial
interests of the nation as being worth
more money than any three OF the
other industries OF our country. ]
stand here today as the representative
OF that basic industry which underlies
the prosperity of every other industry
of the nation, which lies at the foun-
dation OF the prosperity of the nation
itself
This great order, the Patrons Of Hus-
bandry. stands organized for the inn
provement, the more prosperous condi-
ton, Of the agricultural interests Of
this nation. There is not a man en-
gagged in any occupation but is vital
ly interested in the prosperity, the
growth, the success, of the order of the
Patrons Of Husbandry for the reason
that if the farmer is successful if our
farms become more productive. there
is more business for the railways, and
every business and every counting
house in all this country receives
benefit from this prosperity.
When the historian of the future
shall write the true chronicle of these
times and shall give truly and faith
fully the causes of the great progress
which our country has made | believe
that he will write:
First-The church of Christ. Here is
the greatest factor in the civilization
of the world. and no comparison of ii
with any civil institution should be
made.
Second.-Our public schools, where
our children are educated TO broader
views Of life and trained for good ct-
zenship For these schools no eXpend-
ture of money properly made is TO be
considered extravagant.
Third.-The great fraternities estab-
lished through the country-Masonry
odd Fellows. Knights Of Pythias and
hundreds of others. These are binding
men together. lifting them to higher
plane of living and creating better
citizenship. | bid them all hail and
godspeed OF course even among these
great fraternities some are better than
others. OF these orders | believe that
the Patrons of Husbandry ranks with
the highest. ational Master Jones.

GOOD FRUIT CROP.
Encouraging Reports as to Both Size
and Quality.

New York, July 17-Theodore Kear-
ney of Fresno. California. former pres
ident of the California Raisin Growers
Association. who IS in this city on his
way to Germany, says indications point
to fruit crops of good size and quality
in California and in view of shortage
elsewhere, growers are, he said, expect
ing higher prices this year. The sign
ing of contracts by growers to deliver
to the raisin growers association is
progressing satisfactorily and he be-
lieves the one year agreement will be
signed generally.
Mr.. Kearney's attention was called
to reports that the Smyrna raisin crop
this season is likely to be a very heavy
one. He was asked what effect if any
this might have on prices here. As
far as the foreign crop is concerned"
he said, 1.-The Spanish crop last year
for instance was very large in fact the
largest for many years and owing to
the failure of the crop in one district,
prices ruled higher. Nevertheless prac-
tically the entire crop was taken uD at
home and there was no effect on the
American market. In view of that fact
there seems to be no danger of for
eign raisins being sent here this year
in quantities large enough to affect
prices. There is a customs duty on
raisinS and furthermore. it is the pol
icy of the California association not to
put prices so high as to invite foreign
competition"
