pean courts followed. Speaking Of
his visit to the czar of Russia, Mr..
Bryan said Il had been said in this
country that he was an anarchist, but
ne felt he could present good creden-
tials against this assertion, as he had
been allowed to spend half an hour
alone in the company OF the czar, who
Knew an anarchist at sight.
Mr. Bryan was heartily applauded
When he declared in connection with
ehorts to secure universal peace that
on his trip in every country he visited
II heard our Presidents name spoken
In praise for his connection with the
securing Of peace between Japan and
Russia, and I was proud of the fact
that my president had been able to
raise our country In the estimation of
the entire world"
Mr.. Bryan closed his address with n
glowing tribute to the place to which
woman had been elevated by western
civilization as compared with oriental
custom.
ANY young American with good
habits, health and an ambition to get
ahead I'm the world" said he, Is a far
better helpmate for an American girl
than any Of the titled nobility Of Eu-
rope that can be bought, regardless
of the price at which It Is offered. DO
not understand me to say that all Eu-
ropean nobility Is for sale, for such is
not the case"
When Mr.. Bryan concluded he was
given another ovation. He was soon
surrounded by people who desired to
shake his hand, and It was some time
before he was able to leave the audi
torium for the residence Of his host.

which they were informed were Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryan.
A few moments later the figure of the
distinguished guest emerged from the
door of the car and Mr.. Bryan's appear
ance was the signal for a round of
| cheers and hand-clapping by members
or the committee and passengers on
the train, who had fingered near the
train in order to witness the reception.
Greeted by Friends
Mr.. Bryan lifted his hat in acknowl-
adgement OF the salute and then he as
sisted Mrs. Bryan to alight. The first
to greet Mr.. Bryan was Nathan Cole,
jr., an old-time friend, while Mrs. Cole
greeted Mrs. Bryan. Mr.. Cole then in
troduced Mr.. Bryan to Mayor Harper,
who, in a few well-chosen words, well
coined him to Los Angeles.
Mr.. Bryan thanked the mayor for
his kindness, and then followed intro
ductions to other members of the COM
mittee, although several previously had
met Mr.. Bryan and he was able to call
them by name and refer to the time
and place of the meeting.
Just as the party was moving away
from the car Eugene German, presi-
dent of the Democratic club, appeared,
bearing magnificent bouquet of Amer
lean Beauty roses, which he presented
to Mrs. Bryan, and a large bouquet of
violets, which was handed Mrs. Cole.
Mrs. Bryan, who appeared we'll and
happy, expressed her thanks for the
flowers, as did Mrs. Cole, and the party
then wende.- its way through the crowd
in the depot to the entrance, where two
automobiles were in waiting. Mr..
Bryan, Mayor Harper and Joseph
Simons entered one of the cars and
Mrs. Bryan and Mr.. and Mrs. Cole en-
tered the other
AS the automobiles whirled away
from the depot the crowd, which had
increased to several hundred gave a
lusty cheer, which Mr.. Bryan ac-
knowledged by lifting his hat.
The route to the Cole residence on
Pasadena boulevard was through the
business district, and during the ride
Mr.. Bryan remarked upon the wonder
full Improvement noticeable since his
former visit six or seven years ago.
After arriving at the Cole residence
Mr.. Bryan rested for half an hour in
anticipation of his siege with news
paper men.
In the afternoon the guests, accom-
panied by their host and hostess, took
an automobile ride to Pasadena, re-
turning in time for dinner, and thence
to Simpson auditorium for the lecture.

Predict Bryan's Election
Pending the arrival Of the train mem
bers of the committee stood about In
groups, with one topic of discussion,
and that was the undoubted nomination
of Mr.. Bryan for president and the GER
tainty of his election.
Timothy Spellacy, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee,

Mrs. Nathan Cole, jr., who had ac-
companied her husband to the depot In
order to be present to welcome Mrs.
Bryan, who is her personal friend, was
an interested listener to the political
talk.
Chief of Police Kern was present with
several officers, but their services were
not required except to clear passage
way for the reception committee when
they entered the Arcade and also when
they returned with Mr. Bryan at their
head, his arm linked with that OF Mayor

EVERYTHING READY
FOR GREAT BANQUET
IN HONOR OF BRYAN

Tonight comes the Bryan banquet
an event which promises not only to be
great social event, in which many
Republicans as we'll as hundreds of
Democrats will participate, but also an
affair which may be of national i'm
portance owing to the political address
which the guest of the evening will
deliver.
Democrats confidently expect that
Mr.. Bryan's utterances will be in the
nature Of a keynote for the national
campaign in 1908, and for this reason
they have been looking forward with
the keenest interest to the time when
they would hear from the lips of their
acknowledged leader words which
would be fraught with the deepest
meaning from a political standpoint.
Six hundred tickets have been issued
for the banquet, and indications are
that there will not be an empty seat
about the festal board when Mr.. Bryan
rises to begin his address.
The event will be strictly a Demo-
cratic affair, and Republicans who at
tend will go with the knowledge that
they will listen to the enunciation of
purely Democratic principles.
Arrangements for the banquet have
been in the hands of the Democratic
club, of which Eugene Germain is
pISSluSIllp dllu ali lllo uckdllS were COIl-
pleted several days ago.
The banquet hall at Levy's. whore the
event will occur, beginning promptly
at 8 o'clock, has been handsomely deco
rated for the occasion, and an orches-
ira OF merit will be in attendance
throughout the evening.

The Bill to Increase Pay of
r. F. D. Carriers.

Washington special in the Char
lesion Post: a bill that is re
ceiving more than ordinary at
tention from many members of
Congress at this time, although
in quiet way, is that introduc.
ed at the beginning of the pres.
ent session by Representative
Aiken TO increase the pay of
free delivery mail carriers from
their present compensation to
$500 per year each. There is a
pressing demand from all sections
of the country-from the car
riers themselves, also from their
friends at home for the passage
of such bill, and in the last
annual report Of p. V DeGraw,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General, he called attention in
strong terms TO the fact that
carriers of the country were not
receiving proper compensation
for their work, and that Congross
should at least make their an
nual pay $500 or 5000.
The demands for the passa ge
of such bill do not come from
any one section of the country,
but are from all.

A Letter to Mrs. Farmer.
The Progressive Farmer.

New Year to you aud the chill
dren. II the old gentleman is
awake, say 10 him 1 wish him a
new way of farming this year.
Madam, have you been out 10
the barn to see if there is hay
enough to make nests for your
hens next month? You had bet.
ter see about this because you
know a-body don't have no luck
setting hen on a nest made of
hay brought from a distance.
The best hatch is always from a
nest made of hay grown on the
home farm.
/ have been knocking about
over North Carolina for some
months, and keep close look
out as to the barns wherever |
see a place where there should
be one. l am sorry to say that
the barns in my State are of a
very cheap, shabby, ramshackle
construction, and few of them
at this time contain hay enough
to feed the animals thirty days.
GET THE OLD MAN TO SOW OATS
Your old man will be borrow.
ing egg and chicken money of
you to pay for hay at the rate of

put him to work right away.
You see the poor old fellow has
it in his head that he can't make
feed till the fodder is ripe on the
corn next fall, and will want to
buy feed until that time. Now
don'tyou let hind o that. You 60 to
town or to your neighbor (who is
wide awake), buy seed oats with
your egg money; then when the
land IS in condition to plow,
get the old fellow out by day
light, have him TO prepare some
lard as you like to have your
garden plot prepared. On this
land put plenty of fertilizer
(made at home is the best)please
note that | said plenty. Take a
Cole oat planter and seed the
oats in the "open furrow way".
Don't be afraid that there will
too much land prepared for oats;
the more the better. / think the

at this job every day until March

to begin seeding, but would pre-
pare an acre or so and seed that
right away, then keep on pre-.
pairing and seeding at every
chance until March 18th.

My good woman, if you will
have this work done we'll YOU
will see pretty sight. The oat
field will soon look green. The
growth will be rapid and soon it
will be in the "dough" stage.
