FAIR EXHIBIT
Miniature Model Farm Shown by
University of California.
oNE-FIFTlETH OF REAL SIZE.

Best Irrigation Methods Used In the
United States Are Represented.
Half Of the Area Is Planted With
Small Sized Trees.
Showing the latest and best methods
of irrigation worked out by the gov
eminent experts for various soils and
for everything from an orange orchard
to field of beets or alfalfa, model
farm has been constructed ten feet
square In the agricultural building at
the University of California in Berke-
ley, CAL
The farm occupies a prominent place
at the Alaska Yukon-P Pacific exposition
Mt Seattle, Wash, and is one Of the
most unique and instructive exhibits.
Built on scale of one-1ftieth of the
actual size, it represents farm of
about six acres. Every approved irri-
CATION method used In the United
States is represented, and the bitches,
gates, dams, zigzag and straight basins
in orchard irrigation, tube burrows and
other parts are constructed as In the
actual work down to the smallest de-
tails. Half of the area is planted with
miniature trees, and the whole shows
at glance the various improvements
and inventions in one Of the most inn
portant branches of government ex-
perimentation.
F. w. Roeding, recently appointed
head of the Berkeley station for irri-
CATION investigation under the United
States department of agriculture as an
expert for the coast. planned the farm.
The actual work of construction was
done under his direction by q. j. Hoff,
United States expert In the work OF
constructing irrigation machinery and
devices.
Irrigation methods for different soils
and land contours are indicated on the
model farm. One and one-haif acres are
in orchard, represented by miniature
trees and showing zigzag and straight
basins as well as open cut and tube
furrow methods. Another section rep
resents alfalfa in rectangular, contour
and border checks. while on the bal
ance methods of irrigation for summer
crops are shown bitches are laid out
to supply the various sections, and
twenty types of miniature ditch struc-
lures made of brass can, be seen. The
latter include various measuring boxes
to illustrate methods practiced in as
pertaining quantities of water deliver
ed All is constructed to scale and
gives an exact representation of what
the actual field would look like.
The exhibit also includes ten mod
els of homemade implements (one-six-
teenth natural size), which are used in
the various sections of the irrigated
west to level and prepare the land to
receive water as well as instruments
used by this branch Of the government
service in the course of its investi-
cations San Francisco Chronicle.

subordinate councils and 20,5OO mem
bers.
The Royal Arcanum was organized
with the belief that the spirit offra
ternity could be depended on to take
the place of paid agents, and thus to
greatly decrease the cost of life insur-
ance. The experience Of its thirty
two years of existence has proved the
soundness of this theory. Despite two
changes in rates, the order has pros
pered wonderfully, until on April Both
last there were thirty grand councils,
1866 subordinate councils and mem
bership of 242,755. During the exist
ence of this fraternity 1874, 597, 49, AZ
has been paid to over 10000 beneti-
Charles, and the excess of resources
over all known liabilities is SIS, 70S,-
1876, $5,073, 903.91 of this being in
the emergency fund,
The present rates are unique from
the fact that they are based on the
mortality experience of 100000 lives
from its own membership, covering a
period of twenty-seven years. 1t
stands pre-eminent in the insurance
world in this respect. The Royal Ar
canum had been built up with frater-
nifty as the basis of its union, and with
protection at cost as one of the results
of the fraternal idea.
The first council organized in New
Jersey was Pioneer Council, No. %, of
Jersey City, instituted November 18th.
1877, with twenty-six members. To-
day there are over $4,000 Arcanians in
New Jersey, affiliated with III coun.
ellis. During the existence OF the or
der in this state over 100000 has
been paid to beneficiaries.
There are numerous auxiliaries ia
the Royal Arcanum, which do splendid
work along other lines than insurance.

FRENCH AIRsHIP EXPRESS.
Plan For Service of DirisibIes In -Four
Directions From Paris.

Plan For Service OF DsrtqtDies In rour
Directions From Paris.
In a few months, according to the
plans Of the National Aerial league in
Paris, an express service Of dirigible
balloons will be inaugurated from
Paris in four directions. The leagues
airships, If these plans are carried
out, will be operated from the capital
to Fontainebleau, Orleans. Deauville
and Nancy
The enterprise is backed by Henry
Deutsch de la Meurthe, the giver of
many prizes for aviation, including
that Of $4,000 won by Santos umont
when he circumnavigated the Eiffel
tower In 1900 and numerous aeroplane
prizes since.
Five dirigibles have been ordered Of
various dimensions and designed to
carry eight to fifteen passengers at a
speed of thirty miles an hour. The
machines will vary In length from 200
to nearly 27O feet and viii have ca
pacities varying from something under
5000 to nearly 10000 cubic yards. The
plans call for two of the smaller and
two OF the larger dimensions and one
Of size in between.
The airship for the Nancy route has
already been constructed. The pro
motors promise daily service on this
line when the weather is good, begin
ming in September, stops to be made at
Meaux and Rheims.

Who Pays Import Duties?

Protectionists on the stump are in
the habit of telling the voter that
tariff duties are paid by the foreign
er. They never go so far as to at
tempt to prove this assertion by facts,
however
The consumer should not be mis-
led by this theory. Every cent of
an import duty is paid by the con-
sumner. And the worst of it is, par
ticularly in the case of goods manu-
featured partly at home and partly
abroad, the consumer does not pay
the tax to the government, but to the
trust or the combination of home
manufacturers for whose benefit the
tariff is levied.
1t is not unreasonable for the con-
sumer to figure that If he pays $2.o0
for pair of wooden blankets on
(which the duty is 81, he could pur.
chase those same blankets for 81. so
in the event the tariff on blankets
should be removed entirely; or that
he would pay only 50 for the blan-
kets should the duty of 81 be cut
in two
In France, Italy and some other

Psychology of Advertising.

Did you ever consider the psyche
logical end of advertising? One of the
most wonderful things about adve--
Using is the stimulating effect il has
on the advertiser. Haven't you no
ticed that the merchant who adver-
tises in strong and effective fashion
is the one whose goods are well dis
played in a spotless store, whose bust
ness methods are sound, whose mer.
chandise measures up to the highest
standard?
Everybody has noticed it.
The consumer knows when he reads
his daily newspaper that the mer-
chants whose advertisements he sees
maintain first-class stores and handle
desirable goods, because the advertise,
ing is the outward sign of that pro-
gressive spirit which makes slipshoi
store-keeping impossible. The news
paper advertising helps the buyer to
distinguish between up-to-date dealers
and the common kind

Thirteen years ago there were only
five such mail routes ir 'he Unite1

more and are being increased with
great rapidity. The government never
took more important step or did a
thing more beneficial to the people
than the establishment of free mail

When first undertaken it was only
as an experiment. the men at the head

Why Republicans Should Support
Cooke.

There are many good and valid rea-
sons why republicans should supper.
George A. Cooke Tor judge of the sn-
preme court, among them the folloS-
ing:
Because he is recognized all over
the state as an able lawyer and well
qualified for the position. There is no
doubt as to Mr. Cookies qualification
Because Mr. Cookies candidacy pre-
sents 10 republicans a proposition of
great Importance to the people ana
one which should appeal to fair
minded republicans-the proposal 20
keep our supreme court bipartisan
Because republican support for Cooke
would be fitting and merited rebuka
for the discredit brought onto the re-
publican party by the horse-play
methods of the Macomb convention.
Because republican support for
Cooke would be a merited rebuke TO
the Berry-Deneen machine.
Mr.. Mcclure has publicly declared
that he would not ask any voter q
cast his ballot for him because he is :
republican.
Because Mr.. Cookies election wouu
mean the defeat of candidate who
publicly proclaimed that he voted
against Roosevelt.
Still other good reasons might be
given wing republicans should support
George A Cooke-but aren't these
enough?
