dla heretofore have pointed to a large reduce

estimate makes the crop larger than last year.
This caused some confusion, but was offset by
Smaller estimates for domestic receipts tomor-

Will soon be a sharp falling off in receipts.
Advices from Liverpool state that the large
demand from Japan has helped Lancastershire
splnners, this being caused by the endeavor
to get much goods there before next April,

PeckhQm Family
(Copyright by Mcclure syndicate)
BY ELEANOR

The Peckhams get their name from
the parish Of Peckham, in Kent county,
England. In Saxon ham signifies
home or town, so Peckham would be
the town Of Peck, or the home Of
Peck. 1t is supposed hat the family
came originally from Scandinavia,
when the Normans came to England
in the eleventh century. Variations of
the name are Pecan. Packham and
Pecham.
John Peckham, who was Archbishop
OF Canterbury from 1879 to 1892, is
generally considered the founder of
the family. In 1927, however, there
was one Robert Peckham, chaplain to
King Henry l.. and he may have been
an ancestor Of the Archbishop. Sir
Edmund Peckham, one Of the Arch
bishops descendants, was master of
the mint to Queen Elizabeth, and
was knighted in 1912. He lived in
Buckinghamshire, county Kent. His
son, Sir George Peckham, was a mer-
chant adventurer, and with Sir Henry
Greenville and Christopher Carleile
went on a trip of exploration in 1874.

of two members Of the family-Barker

Island state regiment, and BENJAMIN
Peckham. who began as regimental
quartermaster in 1777 and was made
captain Of the Second Rhode Island
regiment In 1882, serving in that posi-.
ton to the close of the war.
Good. substantial names seem to
have been favorite with this family.
Carew, John, Uriah, Susanna and Pc
leg appear with great frequency in the
early generations of Peckhams. They

There are several coats of arms
borne by the Peckham family, varying
only slightly, however. The arms H.
Illustrated are those Of the Peckhams
of county Kent, from which the Amer
lean family probably came. The en-
blaZoning is: Ermine a chief. quar-

Of ~Falconburg was convicted of con-
spiracy in the murder of Conrad, the
first bishop of Wurzburg. He went to
the Pope to ask forgiveness; and the
Pope forgave him. but inflicted a
heavy penance upon him-he never
again, as long as he lived, might wear
ermine. Henry was glad to be for
given, but he considered it a mark of
disgrace not to be allowed to wear
the royal ermine.

Never allow the colt to follow the
dam when in harness at work, as the
colt will do much better if left in the
barn, and the dam will be better of
without the colt. Give the little fel.

it will soon learn to eat and forget it's

the produce afterward bred to some
cheap mongrel. His horses in ten
years breeding are no better than

Palestine and California.

That the soil possibilities of Palesr
tine and California are much the same
is quite a revelation. Prof. A. Aaron
sohn Of Haifa. Palestine, has pointed
out that each region has a range of
low mountains near the coast, and be-
yond this a long interior valley with
a range Of higher mountains for the
eastern wall. and, as the prevailing
winds have the same direction, the
distribution of rainfall corresponds
closely. 1t is found that the very sim.
ilar climatic and topographic condi.
tions have produced similar plants.
The languishing of agriculture in Pal.
estine seems to be a result of poor
government, not of sterile soil and
arid climate, and it is believed that
under better management the econom-
ic plants that flourish in California
will be successfully introduced.
Among the plants discovered in Pal
estine is a wheat, growing wild in
high attitudes on sterile soil, that ia
considered the prototype of our cul.
tivated varieties.
