DATES GROWN IN AMERICA,
Palms Thrive in the Blazing Sun Of
Southern California.

The date industry in California
promises to become a great factor in
the fruit markets of the world, for it
has been proven that the conditions
IN the Coachella valley are more fav-
oraple for the development of
the date of first quality than of any
other country where the date is grown.
1t has also been demonstrated that
a much larger percentage of first quail

gether in involuntary injustice. In
this chain, the first debtor Cor creditor)
is the weakest link, and weakens all
that follow. Economy is the antidote
of debt, and unless the debtor can
cut out all but absolutely vital expen-
ses until his debts are paid, he finds
himself growing accustomed to the
"deht habit and cheerfully permits
his creditors to wait until all his own
wants are satisfied, which sometimes
extends to never.
1t is beautiful to be patient with
those who have a hard time in meet
ing their expenses and find difficulty
in paying their debts for that reason;
but when debtors continue in this pre-
carious condition for what seems an
unwarrantable length of time, and
slow little If any improvement in their
progress toward financial recovery, is
it any wonder if one of the links of the
chain should say wonderinsly: "Why

she has never SEEM"
And again, rs it right for me to

SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.

Some people can never understand
how man can be busy.
We have long noticed that people are
usually accused unjustly of ingrati-
tude.
Some of the biggest liars are going
around the country pretending to tell
the truth.
Most men tip their hats in a weary
way, indicating that they are tired
of the custom.
If you have a lot of tender charity
for fool, that is one proof you have
none in your employ.
What has become of the old-fash-
Toned man of whom it was said; 1.-THE
devil couldn't scare him.
Some of the insurgents are becoming
so bold that they refuse to pay their
bills on the first of the month.
Nothing seems to be as bad as re-
ported except dying; and maybe when
we reach that we will find it easier
than reported.-Atchison (kan) Globe.

Exerybody's Measure.

At the convention of the American
Friday, the startling suggestion that
BertillOn measurements and photo
graphs of every citizen be made for
public record, was sprung upon an
uhsuspecting public. In report
which was submitted was the follow
ing:
THE United States Government
ought to make it's chief concern to
discover, develop and realize itself by
gathering and recording full biogra-
phic and civic data of each of it's
component units, the. life of every
man. We have developed the regis
tration and identification of domestic
animals. Why omit the record of hui
man life, the supreme product of crea-
ton? The task is not impossible it's
benefits would be incalculable and far
| reaching"
And thus we come to such a posi-
bility as this: Mr. Blank of Blank
vile, baldheaded, bowlegged, black
eyes, nose like the beak of a parrot,
mouth twisted to one side from prac-
tice at blowing flies off the back of
his neck, squint in his left eye, and a
stoop and a glide in his walk, having
been absent from his family more
than the allotted time allowable for
good family men, is called to the at
tention of the experts of the crimi-
nal legislation bureau"
This bureau, equipped with all the
available statistics, would of course
be enabled to satisfy the missing
Blanks family as to his exact where
abouts at once. Duplicate copies of
local records would be gotten out de-
scribing the personal appearance and
characteristics of the citizen, and sent
broadcast over the country. Photo
graphic imprints of his thumbmarks
would also be given wide circulation
in the press for comparison with the
thumbmarks of other citizens. The
possibilities are many and varied. but
most of us will put off the ordeal of
sitting for our measurements and
photographs as long as possible in
spite of the suggestions of the prison
congress.

Woodrow Wilson. the Democratic
candidate for governor of New Jersey
declares that guilt is always personal
and that when a corporation breaks
the law the search should be made for
the men by HON the offence was in

quired to pay the penalties. This doc
trine is SO manifestly proper. and to
such an extent in exact keeping with
the public sentiment in that direction,
that we are convinced such policy will
be followed by public officials to an
increasing extent in the future. 1t

port a measure in the next Congress
for dredging the channel of kenne-

1t is well known by the citizens OF

we have been deprived to quite an ex-
tent of having a commercial channel

The petition has the support of the
steamship lines on the river and we
hope that everybody will give this
measure their support by signing their
names for the benefit of all concerned.

Dry Farming Congress,

The International Dry Farming con-
gress is now in session at Spokane,
Washington. President Taft formally
opened the congress by pressing a
golden button in the White House.
Monday evening. Seventy-five of the
worlds foremost advocates of dry
farming are on the program for ad-
dresses. They will deal with the prog
ress and problems of dry farming as
presented in various parts of the
world. and in addition there will be
a series of institute meetings under
the direction of experts who will an
swer specific questions relating to
modern tillage in dry land districts.
Other features of the congress will be
a practical demonstration of good road
building.
The growing number and Importance
Of such conventions and congresses
means much to the various sections
OF the country, at the time and place
in which they are held, and their lit
erature circulates widely, carrying in
formation and suggestions to farmers
in particular and to all trades in gen
eral. New interest and advancement
is stimulated and the whole makes for
increased progress.

For predaina Channel at Richmond.

Among the most worthy of the com
paratively small demands upon Uncle
Sans pocket book, is one for the
dredging Of the channel of the Kenne-
bee river on the west side of Swan Is
land. The opening up of CONNER
cial avenue at this point would mean
much to Richmond and also to sum-
mer travel.
Petitions are n circulation urging
Congressman Swasey to work for a
provision in the next rivers and har-
bors measure for the dredging of this
channel. 1t is hoped that Richmond
people and all in that vicinity, up and
down the river, win make it bust
ness to see that their names are on
the petition.
Under the new policy which is now
being worked out at the suggestion of
President Taft, such needs as that at
Richmond will have to be passed upon
by board of experts and recommen-
ded to the Congressional committees
having rivers and harbors improve
ments in charge, together with esti-
mates of cost and explanations of
conditions and necessity. But the in
sistence of representatives and sena-
tors that projects in their districts be
considered and passed upon will have
great weight in securing early atten-
ton.
