BETTER WHEAT
THEIR OBJECT
Business Men and Farmers
Discuss Important Matter
at an Informal Luncheon
WANTS OF THE VALLEYS
Growers Anxious to Improve
Conditions, but Desire the
Legislature to Assist

The commercial bodies of the State
have arrived at definite plan of ac-
tion for the betterment of the wheat
growing industry of California. San
Francisco has taken the initiative in
support of the theory that to produce
wheat that Will meet with the require
ments of the miller something must be
done to introduce more gluten in the
grain, that it may be rendered unneces-
sary for the manufacturers of flour to
purchase foreign" wheat to stimulate
the commodity that is harvested in CAL
ifornia fields.
Forty or more representative business
men, most of whom are operators in
the produce and wheat market, were
present yesterday at the luncheon at
the st. Francis Hotel arranged by
prominent members of the Merchants
Exchange with the object Of affording
an opportunity to discuss matter that
is Of vital Importance to farmers.
After luncheon Carey Friedlander,
secretary of the Merchants Exchange,
said: I'VE are here to talk over a very
important matter, and 1 think the time
has arrived for us to proceed to busi-
ness"
Fairfax H. Wheelan was chosen to
preside, and in his Introductory re-
marks spoke of the interest that had
been aroused throughout the State over
the effort to make California wheat
more marketable product.
General N. P. Chipman said that the
question of advancing the standard of
wheat produced in the valleys of Cali
fornia was one that should be given
close study. The gradual elimination OF
wheat lands and the planting of fruit
trees and vines had probably been the
result of an effort to obtain increased
revenue, but the fact remains that the
falling off of wheat production is un-
doubtedly due to something other than

VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS.


Carey Friedlander spoke of the work
of-the Merchants Exchange. the Cham
Der of Commerce and the State Board
of Trade in the line of promoting the
production Of milling wheat. Professors
Shaw and Wickson of the University or
California, who were present, had Of
fered many valuable suggestions which
the speaker thought worthy of trial.
Mr.. Friedlander spoke of the good
that had resulted from legislative action
in the matter of water and forest re-
serves, and reminded his hearers that
the Legislature had appropriated $4,000
to assist the advocates of that issue In
their work of carrying out their ideas.
Before the money mentioned had been
voted by the State a subscription or
s12. 900 was collected by those interested
in the work. The preliminary work or
the committees of the Board OF Trade
and the Merchants Exchange could be
provided for by private subscription,
but Mr.. Friedlander said that he
thought that the State Legislature
would willingly furnish funds for at
least two years of research and. expert
mental labor.
The speaker added that Professor
Shaw had said that he thought that
$4,000 would be enough to start with
and an additional sum of $4,000 would
mot be difficult to obtain from the
Legislature.
Mr.. Friedlander made apt reference
to a story of the efforts of farmer
who had a field of gypsum and
a field of grain close to each
other The farmer mined the gypsum
and fertilized portion Of his ground
in the formation of letters that spelled
the word gypsum" The wheat grew
luxuriously and was a glorious adver-
tisement Of the benefits that had ac-
crued from the fertilizing process.
Mr. Friedlander thinks that Califor-
MIA can make some similar demonstra-
ton of the value of renewing the
strength of worn out soil. He said that
in England, where fertilizing was
necessary, the fields grew an average
of thirty bushels to the acre, but in
California the average yield was not
above fourteen bushels.

Damages From Prairie Fires in Okla

The Area From which the hepo'''
of Damage Comes Covers
Hundred square Miles.

Oklahoma City, Okla, March o.
Three persons persisted in Wednesday
nights prairie fire, and the fnancial
loss by the fire and gale is estimated
at half a million dollars. The dead:
W. H. Mover, near Walter; overcome
while fighting fire. Dr. Harmon, near
Lawton; burned to death in his sta
BILE. Unknown boy, near Lawton; body
found on prairie burned to a crisp.
Further reports of property loss by
both fire and wind indicate that the
first estimate was too low. The dam
age by wind extends over seven coun'
ties in the southwest. The total losses
from fire and storm can as yet only
be estimated, but it is the general
opinion that they will reach $500,OGO.
Hastings, Olustee, Leger Walter,
Granite, Elk City, Cache, Temple, Sny'
der, Willow, Bloomington, Sayre and

both in town and surrounding country
by wind. Scores of persons are SUI
fering from burns and broken limbs
At Elk City three members of the fam
lily of NJ. S. Watts were seriously IN
jured by the demolshing OF their
home in the hurricane.
The area from which reports OF
damage by wind comes covers hun
dred miles square. and the means OF
communication over the district are
meagre. The difficulty is increased
by the fact that poles are burned and
wires blown down. The little town OF

St. Louis, March 5.-The st. Louis
police believe that in the arrest of two
men and two women, giving their
names as Herman and Francisco En-

theimer, they have put stop to the
operation of one of the most success
full gangs of shoplifters that have

The Engels, young couple, were
arrested at Bars department store
after detectives had seen the woman
steal some Haviland china saucers
and slip them into pocket of a long,
black broadcloth cape, tailormade,
with an especially large pocket. The
china was still in the pocket, with
other articles, when she was searched.
The man carried long, black bag
that closed with a drawcord at the
top. No stolen goods were found on
him.
The Ostheimer couple are said to be
the mother and step-father of Mrs.
Engles. 1t was at their house that
the greater part of the stolen goods
were found.
AS soon as the detectives obtained
the address of the Engles they went
to their apartments where they found
a quantity of dry goods and jewelry.
They sent it to the four courts, and
then went to the Ostheimer house.
There they were treated to a sur.
prise. The three rooms were literally
packed with goods. A patrol wagon
was called, and as much as possible
was loaded into it. The Ostheimers
were taken to the four courts and
searched.
In the mans pockets were found
gold pieces to the amount of $1,1S5
and a certificate of deposit for 1915.
The estimated value of the articles
so far recovered is between $4,000 and
$4,000 and included diamond rings,
gold watches, chains, silverware, furs,
fine chinaware and dry goods, laces
and notions of almost every descrip
ton,

nuts has given an impetus to farmers
from Maine to California. Chestnut
and walnut orchards promise to be q
significant feature of the farm and most

have the preference, since they bear
more quickly and more prolifically than

A PHYSICIANS Advice.

Yorktown, Ark, March 7th.--Dodd,s
Kidney Pills must not be confounded with
the ordinary patent medicine. They are
new discovery, a specific for all diseases
of the Kidneys and have been accepted by
physicians only after careful tests in ex.
IRENE cases. DR.. Leland Williamson, OF
this place, heartily endorses Dodd's Kid
ney Pills "as remedy for the various
forms of the diseases of the Kidneys, pains
in the back, soreness in the region OF the
Kidneys, foul-smelling urine and cloudy or
thickened condition of the urine, dis
charges of pus or corruption, Gout, Rheu..
matism, Inflammation and Congestion OF
the Kidneys and all kindred complaints"
Continuing, he says:
Il could mention many cases IN which
| have prescribed Dodd's Kidney Pills
with success. For instance, Mr.. Robert
Weeks, farmer, malaria haematuria or
swamp fever three times, kidneys weak
ened, continual pain and soreness in back,
which made him very nervous, had little
fever and sometimes chilly. Urine change
able, but generally very high-colored, an
old chronic case who had taken much
medicine with little effect. After taking
Dodd's Kidney Pills about six weeks, he
was entirely cured and had gained fifteen
pounds in weight. The last time | saw
him, he was the picture of perfect man
hood"

The proportion of distinguished mer
and women contributed from among
the families of the clergy can only be
described as enormous, according tc
Havelock Ellis Study of British &c.
MUS In mere number the clergy can
seldom have equalled the butchers OF
bakers in their parishes, yet out OF
1000 cases of genius only two butchers
and four bakers are definitely ascer-
tanned to have produced eminent chill
dren, as against 1879 parsons. The emf

hand, such is the eccentricity of genius
that the clerical profession produces
