Letter from Arroyo Grande
California.

Dear Editor:-After some alb
sence I will drop in some of our
news.
Farmers around here are busy
preparing for threshing their
beans, which seems to be pretty
good crop and the price also.
Arroyo Grande Public School
opened August IS, with Mrs.
Paulding and Misses Poole, Will
son, Calender, Armstrong and
Hodges as teachers for this term.
A hunting party went about
fifty miles from here to hunt
deer. Those that went were
Messrs. Val Huebner, Joe Cere-
venka, Dan O'Connor and Frank
Graf. They had the luck to get
three bucks.
Tom Malina is still working
for the famous seed house of G..
L. Routzahan, near Arroyo
Grande.
Mr., Anton Smykal has left for
San Francisco to work in the
tailor shop.
Mr.. Fred Marsalek has re-
turned from Santa Maria, where
he has been working at the
threshing machine for about
seven weeks.
Miss Katie Koyhet of Sinner
is staying with Mrs. Fred Mar
selek of Oak Park.
The weather is fair now, but it
looks very much like we would
get some rain.
AS news is short and scarce, l
will say good bye to the readers

Don't Break Down.

Severe starains on the vital organs.
like strains on machinery, cause
break-downs. You can't over-taN the
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or

under strain of any kind, take Electric
Bitters, the matchless tonic medicine.

ter. seems to be so much more ambitious
and wider in its scope than the usual
association as to come into the "kins-

The descendants, most of whom are
In Brooklyn. are planning to establish
fund for sick and death beneflts, or
ganize among the families Of members
sewing circles, card parties and other
social institutions. and finally to In
vest a general fund in some business
enterprise to givs profits to all the de
scendants'' Distinctly it is an ambitious
scheme and one demanding highly or
ganiZed machinery TO carry it ont. And
with wisdom almost uncanny, the 1ni-
tiators of this organization have pro
vided for board OF arbitration and
mediation. which already is at work.
On the principle that blood is thicker

chance of success. Certainly this 'kins

PUBLIC SCHOOL GERMAN.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: I read to-day In your paper tho
susresfion of DR.. Gulick that 1t might DC
veil to cut German and French from the
grammar school curriculum, because In hish
school the grammar school French or Ger
man student has TO begin the STUDY Oh
either language all over again. Evidently
T,r. c,uIicl has not read the syllabus for
the teaching of German in the elementary
schools as adopted by the Board OF Super
intendents. The very beginning OF that
syllabus reads as follows:
.'Tha aim Of the course is the acquisition
of such practical knowledge Of the German
language as may be Of profit to the many
pupils whose education ends with the gram
mar school"
II the instruction Of German or French IN
the public schools of New York City Is TO
have the object OF prepe ring the scholar
for continuing the study Of that language
in high school, all the Board of Education
has to do is to change the contents OF the
aim in the syllabus and TO bring the syl-
labus itself in harmony with that aim. ]. for
one, am ready to prepare my scholars for
that advanced German grade In high school
which will be required, and / am sure all
my colleagues are just as ready.

MONEY AND BUSINE ESS.

In the larger number Of industries the
output is below normal, but in no line
Is there any indication Of the develop
ment of a period of acute depression.
Business involving forward commitments
is light. and no material Improvement is
looked for in the volume Of new orders
until various uncertainties that tend to
restrict commercial and financial opera
tions have been eliminated from the Sit
uation. Bank clearings continue TO show
contraction in mercantile and Specula-
tive transactions as compared with this
time year ago, although the percentage
of decrease is not heavy: railroads are
handling q fair volume Of traffic and are
beginning to economize in operating eX-
penses; consumers of iron and steel are
running on light stocks, and a deadlock
still exists in the cotton goods market
between buyers and sellers on the ques-
ton of prices. Speculation in stocks is
confined to the dealings of an unimpor-
tant professional element, and as a con-
sequence money rates are easy in spite
of low bank reserves, while in all specu-
latiye markets the dayto-day business
is of unusually narrow dimensions for
this period of the year. A better in
quiry for bonds is reported. and If. rs is
expected, idle money accumulates at this
centre in 1911, railway mortgage issues
will doubtless find good market. The
mercantile demand for funds is not
heavy.
Government figures on the total yield
OF the farms In 1910 supply no reason
for pessimism over the future of the
country's business, while the same thing
may be said of the present course of for
eign trade, which shows for the last
three months an excess of exports of
merchandise over imports to the value
of upward of S212, ,OOO. 600 an increase
of more than $50, O,000,06O as compared
with the same time in 1909. Imports are
declining and exports are increasing.
All cereal crops show valuation Of S3,-
7335, ,464 900. corn alone supplying s., ,523,
