I because It seemed the only way
of securing domestic peace and
1 happiness. He broke with God
in order that he might win the
I smiles and favor of the beauti-
full women of his harem.
I It. is not hard to find men
falling before the same tempta-
I tion to-day. Naturally men are
! pIeasers Of themselves and their
I friends, rather than God.
Following after the Lord, as
l did David his father, would have
I been a more difficult road for
Solomon to have travelled, just
I as the road of Righteousness to-
day appears for the present time
I to be rough and unpleasant.
Every earthly Joy and every
| earthly friendship which is won
,, by the sacrifice of loyalty and
devotion to God is form of
.. idolatry which is destructive of
true piety and goodness.
!, The broad-mindedness of Sol
omon which made a place for
the gods Of the wives he had
taken to himself from the ma.
tions about is akin to the broad
mindedness of many in the world
to-day who seek to fraternize the
followers of Christian and non-
Christian religions.
But the broad-mindedness
that takes in everything but God
and his truth, is net broad
mindednexs at all, but. the rank
est kind of narrow-mindedness,
for it is letting the things of
time shut out the things Of
eternlty; it Is permitting the
imaginings Of the human heart to
take the place Of the everlasting
verities of God.
Doubtless Solomon flattered
himself upon the clever manner
in which he was ,econciIing all Of
the varied interests of his house
hold and his kingdom, but when
we read the seouei to the story
of his misstep and behold the
disintegration of the kingdom
and the scattering of Gods peo-
pie we can only excIaim, what
folly and Wickedness.
The fathers-in-laW and the
brothers-in-Iaw of Solomon-and
he must have had host of
them, for 700 of the fairest of
the princesses of the heather ma
tons about were numbered
among his wives-doubtless
thought Solomon a jolly good
fellow, and felt pretty much at
home in the liberal atmosphere
Solomon had created in Israel. |
can hear some OF them congrat-
uIating him because he was not
narrow and bigoted like his ia
ther David, and was willing to
see good in the gods of other
nations.
Solomon thus made friends
with the world, but he lost the
friendship of God.
Which would you rather have?

for Green Fruit, S24,375,OOO
for Oranges
Shippers and Carriers Agree
That Season Just Ended
Is Most Successful

A tribute of sS.325,0O0 will be levied
this year on the consumers in the east
of Ca1ifornia's green fruit by the grow
ers in California, and this sum will be
supplemented by s24.375,O00 for the
oranges and s1.075,O00 for apples MAX
ing a total of s33.775, 600 which this
states horticulturists will receive for
green fruit, apples and oranges this
year.
1t is conceded by shippers and car
riers that the season which closed for
most successful in the history of the
deciduous fruit movement in the state.
Prices held up and the growers re-
ceiyed about $3.50 net per car and there
were sent from this state to eastern
markets 100 cars of green fruit.
Oranges now are moving fairly well.
but it will not be until January when
the great bulk-of the crop is put on
the road There has been a slight
decrease in the number of cars from
the northern part of the state, which
is attributed to the fact that trees bore
less heavily inside. The figures for
the northern movement are $500 cars.
against 3,100 last year.
There were 2,150 cars of apples ex-
ported, though. some of the growers
contend that a great many more could
1t not been for the big crops in other
parts of the United States.
It looks as if the railroad company
will have to inaugurate an apple in
| struction campaign similar to the one
on prunes, and as cheap communication
| has been established between Mexico
| and this coast by the opening of the
Manzanillo extension of the Mexican
Central railroad a good market should
be found for our apples in Mexico and
also in the states of Central America
| Growers have been we'll pleased with
! the service of the Pacific fruit eX-
press. and in order to facilitate the
/, handling of green fruit this company
| has put in an extra icing station al
Carlin, as the haul from Truckee to
Ogden is too long for green fruit to
go without ice.
Three new ice factories will soon be
! in operation. One is at Cotton, which
| has a capacity of 200 tons a day and a
storage capacity of $4,000 tons. An
other is at Roseville, where 200 tons
of ice can be made in a day and .00C
| tons stored, while the plant at Las
Vegas can make 100 tons day and
pack away 5000 tons.
! There are at present $500 cars oil
the Pacific fruit express in service, not
ono of which is more than two years
old In order to meet the increase ir
fruit shipments e. III. Hartman has
ordered 1900 more of these cars at a
