cALvIN's ANNIVERSARY.

A four-day celebration of the ami
versary Of the birth of John Calvin has
just been brought 20 close at Geneva.
Switzerland. It was on July 10. 1909,
that the man destined to occupy so
large a space in the religious world came
into being at Noyon, France. His father
was an apostolic notary and his mother
was noted for great personal beauty. for
her religious fervor and strictness. Pos
sessed OF a remarkably acute mind, Cal
win grew TO manhood with all the
knowledge Of the age In which he lived
at his command. From the Catholic
church ne first turned toward the doc
trines Of Martin Luther, but ended by
founding a new school of theology Of
which Presbyterianism is the best eX-
ample. Calvin believed in prsdestina-
ZION. total denrayity. infant damnation
and many other things that have be-
come obsolete with the lapse Of centu-
ries. Yet he fills a place IN history as
n reformer and his name will ever be
respected and venerated as a Christian
VINO studiously sought the light and la
bored for the redemption OF mankind.
Unfortunately he lived in an age more
siven 70 the discussion Of fine theologi-
cal points than the practice Of Chris
tisu fellowship, and, being accustomed
TO controversy. he left a record behind
which is not distinguished for charita-
bic opinions of those who differed with
him in matters regarded by him as es-
sertial 20 salvation. The only stain
upon his name is the burning of DR..
servetus at the stake in Geneva on Oc-
tober p, 1858. Servetus was a Spaniard
and was born IN the same year that
gave birth 10 Calvin. Like the founder
Of Presbyterianism. he had absorbed all
the knowledge Of the schools and was
also veformer. His written opinions
caused him TO be accused Of heresy by
the Archbishop OF Lyons. Cardinal Tour
non, the evidence having been turned
over 10 the Catholic prelate BY Calvin.
Escaping from the prison into which he
had been cast, Servetus remained i'm
conoeslment several months. his trial
going on meanwhile. and he was con-
demned 10 death. He went to Geneva
in disguise. intending later TO take I'D
his residence in Naples. His presence
In the Swiss town became known TO Cal
win, who denounced him to the authori-
ties and his martyrd5m followed.
-Four hundred years have passed since
the birth OF Calvin and nearly three
hundred and fifty years since the burn
ing Of Dr.. Servetgs and the old order
OF things has given way 10 the new. es-
Pecially as regarding the thirty-uine
points Of Calviuism. Recently there
graduated at Union Theological semi
nary three young men who explicitly
denied the infauibuity Of the scriptural
rule for faith and practice as laid down
by the Presbyterian church. the essen
Jial deity Of Christ and his consequent
headship Of the church; the virgin birth
OF the LOrd and the immaculate concep-
ton, and the resurrection Of the Mas
ter from the grave: that is. resurrection
in the flesh. one Of these young men
has since been ordained rs q Presbyte.

USELESS DISPUTE.

The dispute between Chairman AID
rich Of the senate finance committee and
Chairman Payne Of the house ways and
means committee is interesting but not
important Both bills are about as bad
as they can be and thus discussion Of
their comparative merits will not tighten
the burden upon the backs of the con-
sumers when an admixture of the bad
features is passed up to the president
for signature. Neither the Payne bill
nor the AIdrich measure conforms to
the promise held cut by the Republican
platform nor 10 the expectations Of the
people Of the country. The conference
committee is not expected to mend mat
tiers, being composed Of men carefully
selected on account of their belief in the
necessity of robbing the many for the
benefit Of the few. II is said that an
agreement win be reached in the course
OF a few days and that the exUaordi-
nary session Of congress win conclude
its labors by the end OF the present
month. Suspicion that the schedules
have already been definitely arranged is
perfectly natural and the outcome will
probably show that 1t was well founded.
The business interests Of the country
insist that a fun measure of prosperity
is impossible SO long as congress is tink-
ering with the tariff, 1t being a fore
gone conclusion that no relief is 10 be
expected, the quicker the session is
brought to a close the better.

COLONEL EXPRESSES HIMSELF.

He was a fine type Of the old SOUTH

cavaliers. Also. he was exceedingly
wrathy. He had just received a letter
from a man. "a low soht OF puhson, sur.
I assuah you" which displeased him
immensely, and he was debating in
wardly how best to convey 10 his vul-
gar correspondent an adequate express
sion OF his (the Col0neHs) opinion Of
him. But his stenOgTapher was a lady

The mayor Of a Kansas city having

GAIT RISING BREAD.

Since Stubs has become governor Of
Kansas it is said that half the women of
the Sunhower state have stopped using
yeast and are making salt rising bread.
During the campaign last fall the Kan
sas governor was as strong on the
was on the subject of the Philippines
and naturally made some reference TO
il in every speech on the stump. Moth
ing viii bring more love into the home
the kind that endures-than salt ris-
ing bread on the dining table" was one
of the stock arguments of the governor.
1t may be so. The love might also be
intensified by the eternal presence of
the odor Of Hmburger cheese. Combine
the Iimburger with the salt rising bread
and the smell alone will satisfy the ap-
petite Of any reasonable man, leaving
love entirely out of the question.
But they are taking salt rising bread
seriously down in Kansas and the state
chemist is making an investigation. As
a result he has found certain bacteria
present and he hopes TO find a way in
which these bacteria may be propagated
in dough. which can then be dried and
placed on the market. There have been
outbreaks of one kind or another in
Kansas periodically for the last fifty
five years and the state has been az
hiCted with border ruffans, Populists
an. Now they have contracted the habit
OF eating salt rising bread and their
onense smells 10 high heaven.

THE CHARMS OF WASHINGTON.

1 sing the charms Washington, how fair her
shores appear,
Returning from an alien land to old home friends,
Let poets of Yamato praise her dreamy inland sea,
Fair Pugets smiling waters more beautiful to
Oft have I gazed Full San, whose sacred heights
arise
Solemn and awe-nspring, against Gotembas skies;
Gazed on great Fujiyama, all mystical and lone,
And wondered in what changing light our own loved
mountain shone;
For dearer than the rest,
And better than the best
Is this golden region of the setting
You may travel anywhere,
And find nothing to compare
With the DID, fair old, State of Washington
Though touched at fragrant isles in summer
Where the odorous ilang-ang perfumed each pass
ing breeze;
Though temples in beauty across the Kwannon
plains,
And miles of cherry blossoms made pink the coun-
try lanes;
Though weirdly smiling idols ev'ry
hand,
And poesy and wonder all the land,
Yet dearer than the rest
And better than the best
Is this golden region of the setting
You may travel anywhere,
And find nothing compare
With the old, fair old, State of Washington

ONE PLACE TO CONSERVE.

Congressman James A. Tawney, of Minnesota,
is chairman of the House committee appropria-
tions. In a recent interview he says
"In two Congresses we have appropriated more
money for the navy than the entire cost of the
Panama canal. If public sentiment will warrant
a temporary letup of this tremendous drain on the
treasury the money thus saved WILL in few years.
take care of all the internal improvements for
which the country is clamorng.
81 often wonder whether the American people
fully realize the extent of the tax put upon them
on account of past and prospective wars. have
referred to this matter in several of my speeches
in the House, and the question becomes more and
more important as the pressure for internal i'm
provements increases Forty per cent of the total
revenues of the government is now being expend-
ed for the army and navy. Thirty per cent in ad-
dition is being expended account of wars al
ready fought. Here is total of 70 per cent or
our total revenues going for this one purpose"
Here is an item Of public expenditure that is
worth serious consideration, and especially so in
view of the fact that a prospective deficiency for
the current year of than $100,OOO,OOO will be
used as an excuse for not granting some OF the
things so long and earnestly desired by the farm
ers of the nation who contribute so largely to It's
progress and prosperity.

Editor The Ranch:

Editor The Ranch:
Through kindness of friends we have
enjoyed your paper for year, and find it
very helpful. 1t is the paper that should be
in every rancher's home in the West especi-
ally beginners, owing to the fact that nu-
merous Eastern people are coming to the
Northwest, a number of whom formerly
lived in the Eastern towns and cities; pic
turing in their minds living on little ranch
in the West, knowing little of the Details
like ourselves when we moved on ranch.
Bringing with them Eastern papers and try
ing to farm after Eastern ideas, the conse-
quence is too many make failure of it
when the fault was all their own. For in
stance last summer I heard beginner in
the art of farming inquire if he could graft
sweet cherries on willow trees, and could
even cite you worse cases than this. We
are all beginners at one time, and if we
have the right kind of advice can learn. l
think your paper is giving it, Please find
enclosed the price and continue to send it.

LOSSES FROM INSECTS.

The annual losses to farm forest and garden
products due to the various insect pests in this
country are stated by Prof Titus in recent
article to exceed the entire expenditure of the
National Government and in this total is in
cluded the pension roll and the cost of the army
and navy. He says the annual loss to agrcul-
tural products will vary from ten per cent as
minimum, to fifty, seventy-fve or even greater
percentage, in years of occasional serious opera
ton.
Standing alone these figures are startling. To
individual farmers losses from insect depreda-
lions are often severe Gas is a fire loss), and
Justify the plea of the Professor for more thor
ough instruction as to insect life and means of
combating their ravages But there is another
standpoint from which to view the losses en-
tailed by them on the country at large, for what
is one mans loss is anothers gain"
We are taught that prices are regulated by
supply and demand when these permitted to
take their natural course, and we find that in
years of greatest abundance farmers do not

receive their greatest returns from given crop.
The hay crop for 1908 valued at more than
So per ton less than that of 1907, because the
yield was the greatest in the history of the
country. 1t is the same way with other crops,
and insect depredations are one factor in deter
mining the output of any crop.
1t becomes impracticable, therefore, for the Pro-
fessor or any else to translate the value of
insect depredations into the current selling prices
of any all crops for if there had been no dep
relations there would have been a larger crop
with lower prices.
Herein is a widespread fallacy with regard to
products and proceeds that is given utterance to
by many writer's and speakers. By improved
methods of tillage and careful management of
crop an individual will receive a larger yield
and better article, but his net return will de-
pend not on that so much the general
average throughout the country and the demand
of the general market of the world.
Portland is proud that it has reached a high
rank grain shipping point The rapid
growth of the cities of the Pacific Northwest, and
the constant increase of the small ranches with
their intensive special agriculture, continu-
ally increasing the home demand for food sup
plies from the grain fields, while the country is
gaining in population rapidly than is it's
grain supply, that the time is at hand, as
pointed out by Hon. j. ]. Hill, when these grain
shipments must cease. Evidently the time is pro-
pitious for of newer and better agrcul-
ture.

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE.

While several names, including that of R. A.
Ballinger of Seattle have been mentioned as
possible successors to Hon. James Wilson, of
Iowa, Secretary of Agriculture, the most per-
sistent in that line cluster about Prof. Gift
ford Pinchot, of New York. This man Pinchot
occupies the position OF head OF the United
States Forestry Service and his administration of
it's affairs is too well known to some of our read
ers to require recounting here
Suffice it to say that at the present time he is
advertising some of the timber from the school
sections the forest reserves of the Olympic
region of this state for sale, the proceeds to be
placed in the forestry fund instead of the public
school fund, as provided by the state constitu-
ton and laws pertaining to such lands. His Off
cal course has been SO bureaucratic and in def
ance of statutory regulations that the State of
Colorado is now moving to set aside $lO,OOO to
compel him to obey the laws of the land by
means of its courts. Such man is unfit to oc
cupy the position at the head of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Nor is it necessary to choose a Clifford Pinchot
for the position. Hon. F. D. Coburn, of Kansas
is man whose services in that line in his state
have shown him eminenty fit for the place
that there is practically unanimous endorse
ment of the legislative proposition to double his
salary. He has made public to the wide world
the wonderful effects OF combination OF alfalfa
corn and hogs as mortgage-l1fter and the &C
tivity of COWS, hens and 5000, 000-acre wheat
crop as prosperity producers tout there in Kan
SaS"
Then, too there is Hon. Wiet NJ Hays of
Minnesota whose experience Assistant Secre
tary of Agriculture since the death of Col. j. H.
Brigham of Ohio, has demonstrated his eminent
qualifications for the highest position in connec
ton with American agriculture
During period of twelve years Hon. James
Wilson has given a careful intelligent and pro-
gressive administration of the multitudinous af
fairs that have clustered around the Department
of Agriculture. He has seen American agricul-
ture lift up it's head from the slough of despond
and take it's place at the head of American in
dustry in it's proud march to the front of the
worlds industrial activities. Inevitably it will
be his duty and privilege to resign his position
of honor to successor. But let that success
sor be worthy of the high honor, and not come
to it tainted with narrowness and factionalism
that will dishonor the of agriculture

DIAMOND PIN
FOR KID MAILING
FROM HIS FRIENDS

Just before Kid Mailing left for To-

scented the kid with a handsome dia-
mond pin. The Kid was deeply af-
feeted and could scarcely respond.
