THE POETRY OF THE ORANGE"
TT appeals TO you, when the fruit
hangs ripe and sweet on the tree late in
February, or early in March. Then the
blossoms break out, and the trees are
yellow with golden globes, and white
with orange flowers. 1t may be that
furry Of snow has whitened the
mountain tops, and then you have an
artistic background for a tropical for
est. The air is full Of sunshine, and
heavy with the fragrance as night
comes on, and then, IL the moon be
shining,you hear at midnight through
open windows, the song OF the mockine
bird in the scented grove, and It never
seemed so melodious before"
An experience like this is possible any
winter, and it is worth journey OF
thousand miles, while you can have it,
by taking the scenic Shasta route
throug the grand and picturesque Sis
kiyou and Shasta mountains, to SOUTH
eIn California. Complete information
about the trip, and descriptive matter,
telling about California, may be had
from any Southern Pacific agent, or w.

DEMOCRATIC PRESUMPTION.

The Tacoma Ledger may or may not
know all about it but this is the way
the. situation appears through its
glasses:
In late issue of his paper Mr..
Bryan remarked. Let us have clean
cut. open fight between the Democrati-
ic party and Cleveland 1t is such
talk as this thtat reveals the utter
hopelessness of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Bryan imagines himself the whole
party. Because he does not like Mr..
Cleveland. he thinks it the duty OF the
organization to cast that portly gent
leman into outer darkness. 1t may
be said for Mr.. Cleveland that he has
the discretion to regard the Nebraskan
in similar light. That there is a
Democratic party is perhaps a safe ad-
mission. 1t does not follow that it is
tied fast to Bryan, nor yet grasped
between the thumb and finger of Cleye-
land. In many respects, these two
are the prominent figures of the party.
No point can be mentioned concerning
which they agree. On the part Of Bry-
an. at least, there Is personal hat
red, while Cleveland despises, and not
without reason, all that Bryan repre-

for Democracy, but pretty good for the
rest of the country. 1t eliminates both

nearly midway of the band that not
one faction or the other would have
the chance TO make decent showing
in the campaign. In fact, Democracy
seems to consist of two parties, each

DAYS OF RLoopsHED,

one hundred and twenty-eight years
ago today little band of unframed
patriots was fired upon by the soldiers
Of King George at the village of Lex
ington, Massachusetts,. Every school
boy knows that the blood then shed
marked the beginning of the long and
bloody war for the independence OF
the American colonies.
Ninety-six years later, or a years ago
today, the Federal troops were attack
ed in the streets of Baltimore by the
eecessionists, where was spilled the
first blood Of the rebellion.
Epoch-marking incidents were these,
preceding events whose recital is the
history of our nation, and whose occur
renee has nightly influenced all peo-
pies Of this world. 1t is reason for de-
won't gratitude that the problems which
now engross the attention Of the Amer
ican people do not demand the she'd
ding of blood in their solution. May
it be that never again shall the now
most enlightened, progressive and
promising of the powers of the earth
find il necessary to direct the arm OF
its might, the power of its resources,
and the brilliance of its ingenuity to
the slaughter OF human beings.

There has never been a question as
to the title of veterans of actual war,
civil, Mexican or Spanish-American,
who were at the front and in actual
battle, wounded and rendered help
less and dependent, to receive the
bounty OF the government. These con.
ditioIs have been broadened of late
years. Men who guarded prisoners In
the safe seclusion Of Johnson's island,
men who served bravely In the home
guards, men who made the railway
trip to the capital and loitered behind
the Notifications for thirty or sixty
days to relieve soldiers who were need.
ed at the firing line, all these have
been granted pensions to a greater or
less extent on the general ground
that they are now old men, many Of
them helpless, and that having shown
their Willingness to do something in
the business Of the civil war they are
entitled to some gratitude in dollars
and cents. Even young men who spent
their summer vacation in the quiet

The Usefulness Of Corn Wheat,

Corn-wheat is a new cereal attract
ing attent n among the farmers Of
the Northwest. 1t Is particularly
adapted to The semi-arid lands of that
district made up from the wheat fields
of Washington, Idaho and Oregon, and
known as the inland empire. The
cereal was introduced at Moscow, Id,
and has produced rs bushels Of fine
marketable grain to the acre. One
grower had 400 acres planted this sea-
son. The yield was much larger
than from any crop planted In the
Northwest.
the new cereal is a mammoth rye.
Its kernels measure three-quarters of
an inch in length. The heads are
plump and fill out perfectly. They
measure about five to seven inches.
A field Of grain has the appearance Of
being some freak product. The straw
short and tough. It bears up straight
under the heavy load of grain. Winds
have little effect on 1t and there
seems to be no fungus diseases, or
growths, that disturb either the straw
or seed.
This strange l!ant came from the
department Of agriculture of Ger
many, 1t was imported as a curios-
ity, in 1888, by VI. ]. Shields, a grass
and seed experimental farmer. He
planted a few kernels and the crop
was large. In the past few years he
has been giving specimens Of the
grain to his neighbors to try in the
dry wheat belt. Everywhere 1t has
proven a success. Last year he
planted four acres. The crop return
ed 1913 sacks of lao pounds each. This
was an equivalent to about rs bush
els to the acre.
Corn-wheat is the name given to the
