w q large number of farmers not only
do not seek advice but resent it when
il Is given to them. Hence it is that
the average experienced farmer in this
country has q labor income very little il
any better than the wages paid ordinary
farm hands This being true Of men ex-
perieneed in farming, the city man who
expects to go ON the farm without any
experience Is doomed to almost certain
failure. But if he can hold out until he
has gained the necessary experience, and
if he happens to be endowed with the
type Of mind that enables him to ac-
quire experience rapidly, there is a
chance for him to succeed.
Some of the most successful farms in
this country are conducted by city men.
In nearly all cases, however, these men,
in their early experience on the farm,
suffered the severest kind of hardshipi
but by persistent effort, and especially
by close application to a study Of the
principles involved in farming they final
~ acquired the knowledge necessary to
success After they had reached this
point, the business training they had had
IN the city enabled them to surpass the
ordinary farmer, who has had little
business training.
A mistake the city man makes is in
believing what he reads about the posi-
bilities Of few acres devoted to fruit.
II is true that in exceptional years a
single acre of fruit Of the proper kind,
in a locality where there is a good mar
ket may bring a return OF one or two
thousand dollars; but if we were to
take the average income per acre of fruit
IN this country, it is probable that the
profit would not be any larger than it
Is from ordinary farm crops. Recent in
vestigations among small fruit farmers
recently from the city indicate that as
rule they are not successful, and in
most cases the farms are for sale at
prices even less than were paid for them
originally.

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Butter and Eggs Easier and Lower
Prices Are Anticipated.


Boston, Dec 2l.-A little easier feel
ing s evident in butter and eggs in the
local market, and, while no change to
speak of has vet been made, lower prices
on both commodities are likely. The de-
mand for butter Is still very quiet, and
while receipts, especially Of fine goods,
are light, the market is not cleaning up
as well as could be desired and the
confidence Of local dealers also has been
shaken by a sharp break in the New
York market. For fine northern cream
cry in tubs 32l2e IS asked but holders
would sell for 32c and in other offerings
this same disposition to shade prices is
noted. Fine fall cheese is firm in the
lack Of large supplies, but the lower
grades continue to be offered freely and
prices lean very much in buyers favor.
Receipts Of eggs are slightly larger than
they have been and invoices forecast a
further increase later in the week; the
demand meanwhile is light and dealers
have trouble in obtaining recent quota

LOS ANGELES WAY

A ENCOURAGEMENT a new bank will
"A be added to the financial estab-
IA lishments of Greater Los Angeles
is significant of the continued growth
and prosperity of this city one of
the peculiarities of Los Angeles is
financial failure is almost unknown,
and although there may be occasional
individual banking furry there is not
the remotest chance of any serious
financial reverse. and there has not
been one in the city's modern history.
The stability of business in this city
is as phenomenal as its other features.
The history of business is one of
constant improvement and expansion.
There will be plenty of business for
the new bank, and for other new banks
that will be added to the financial
equipment of the metropolis. Guarded
by its mighty banks and firmly found
ed on industrial and general pros
perity, Greater Los Angeles will add
chapter after chapter to a more mar
Velous history of prosperity than has
been recorded by any other city in the
world.
To be enterprising and successful, to
dare and to do, to plan and to achieve,
to work and to succeed, to endeavor
and to prosper, and to give square
deal to verybody-that's the Los An
geles way.

don address was distinctly point
n ed There are a few people in the
United Kingdom, and a few in the
United States who are watching Roose
velt's progress and awaiting with al
most feverish interest his utterances on
British topics.
They know what these utterances
mean. They know what Roosevelt is
driving at. They know what the Brit
ish radicals are aiming at. They know
precipitate and rash announcement
of a new movement would be unstates-
manlike.
Therefore the public has not yet been
taken into the confidence of the greater
leaders of the speaking world
as to a matter which was a subject Of
conference and then of correspondence
between Blaine, Chamberlain and Car
negie, and will be revived at a prom
ising and auspicious crisis in British
affairs, when a suspended attack on
the house of lords is about to be re-
opened with renewed vigor, with a
throne occupied by a parvenu gentle
man who may we'll be called an anna
teur monarch, inasmuch as he was not
trained for the job. Theodore Roose-
welt is today the most popular man in
Great Britain.

SENTIMENT

~ EMINENT such as that displayed
on Memorial day is a noble and
~ an ennobling element in the life
of a nation. A nation without senti-
ment lacks its principal vitalizing
force, for sentiment awakens patriot
ism, and patriotism arouses manliness,
and manliness WINS.
Grand Army men, members of the
Loyal Legion, sons and grandsons of
veterans, Sons and Daughters Of the
Revolution, and plain AMERICANS,
conscious of and devoted to first prin-
ciples, are alike the free and willing
slaves of sentiment. The tie that binds
is common interest, common affection.
The traditions of Bunker Hill and Val
ley Forge, Of Gettysburg and Chicka-
mauga, never will be forgotten. Every
great fight ever fought and won in the
United states has been fought and won
for sentiment. and sentiment is founded
on Americanism, and Americanism on
righteousness, and righteousness eXalt-
eth the nation.

however. to inquire why reaping ma
chimes. typewriters, bicycles and auto
mobiles of American manufacture can
be bought more cheaplv in the United
Kingdom and on the European conti-
nent than in the United States"
Yes. it might also be in order to in
nuire why a whole lot of other things
are sold more cheaply. For example,
American meat. -four, etc.
IT is not hard to answer that ques-
ton and does not need very deep dig
ging to uncover the cause. You know
the cause, and several million other
people know it. What is more addi-
tional millions are being taught 1t.
The workers produce all The en-
ployers take all and pay the workers a
little money for it-about one-ffth of
what 1t sells for
The capitalist class that has all this
produce wishes to sell it for as much
as possible, and does so in the foreign
market
The American workers as a rule are
so ignorant that they vote the capitol
lists ticket and elect the capitalists
candidates to office, who in turn put
a high tariff on these goods so the own
ers of these goods can make these
American voters pay moro for them
than the foreigners. These ignorant
voters believe the foreigner would sell
us things cheaper If it were not for
the tariff. and of course throw us all
out of work. If this tariff makes work.
why are millions idle right now?
Question: If it takes fifty years for
a nation to find out that it is being
robbed. how long will it take to stop
the robbery? SOCIALIST.

ON THE TIDE

w ITH flowers on the tide at Venice
w were the graveless dead remem-
bered-those who sleep in the
great deep. In this maritime metropolis,
with it's great harbor interest, the
memory of those who have died at sea
is intimately associated with the ideals
and ideas of the city.
The harbOr of Greater Los Angeles
invites the commerce of the world.
Afoat as we'll as ashore, abroad as
we'll as at home, the name of Los An
geles will become better and better
known. The ceremony on the tide
speaks of the achievements of the
American navy; but proud as the ma
tion is Of the dauntless men behind the
guns, it is beginning again to realize
the Importance of the maritime mer-
camille navy, and to recognize the
heroism of the men who carry the
goods and take care of passengers Voy-
aging to every quarter of the globe.
Let flowers be strewn on the tide for
the naval dead; but let the mercantile
dead, who perish in storm and accident,
AT post of duty be remembered.
Greater Los Angeles is deeply CON
cerned with the prosperity of the mer-
camille navy, the American growth Of
which will help to make our city the
maritime metropolis of the west.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-01
TARIFF AND PRICES

F THE tariff is not the reason for
high prices (not accompanied by
n any corresponding increase in
wages paid to workers., then why is
there such remarkable difference in
cost of living in the neighboring cities
of Windsor and Detroit, which are sep
arated by less than a half mile of wa
ter?
In Windsor a suit of clothes costs $15.
In Detroit the purchaser of an exactly
similar suit of clothes, no worse and
not better, must pay $25 for it, Wheat
in Windsor costs a dollar a bushel;
in Detroit, Sill. Windsor butter sells
at 2S cents a pound; but the butter of
Detroit costs SO cents a pound Hay
in Windsor costs $11 ton; in Detroit.
$14 a ton. An American hat costs So
in Windsor, and So in Detroit, This is
one of the more amazing features of
the inconsistency in price scales. And
American tobacco costs less in Wind
sor than in Detroit, which is another.
The tariff argument that appeals
most favorably to the wage Garner is
the argument founded on cost in pro-
portion to wage or salary, We pre-
sumo it will be agreed that a man with
a family to support has a right to earn
a living in the United States. But
should this living be less than the artf-
fetal sums tariff exactions force him to
pay for the support of his family. his
struggle for existence becomes embit
tered by the consciousness that, strive
as he may, he cannot make ends meet,
and give those dependent upon him the
benefits of the results of his skill, labor,
experience, honesty and perseverance.
And this is not "a square deal"

MOTORMAN BLAMED FOR
COLLISION ON MONETA AVE.

Los ANGELES, May SO.-[Editor
Herald1 AS a citizen of Los Angeles
for nearly a quarter of century and
having watched its marvellous growth
with pleasure, I am naturally jealous
of its good name: and while I dislike
a chronic groWler there are occasions
when little plain speech is neces-
sary in the interest of good govern
ment
Such an occasion arose today when
a rapidly moving car of the Moneta
avenue line ran into and demolished
teamsters wagon at the crossing
at Vernon and Moneta.
As an eyewitness of the smashup G
will not call it an acciden) from the
viewpoint of the sidewalk it was
clearly manifest that the motorman
could have stopped the car before the
impact, or at least reduced it to its
minimum.
1t is true there was great changing of
the bell when the car entered the
block approaching Vernon at good
speed. but apparently little reduction
of speed before the collision.
Obviously the time has come when
the traffic managers of the lines. using
Moneta avenue should know that Yer
non is one of the main thoroughfares
of our west end. Scores of teams pass
this crossing daily with building ma
terial, from sand to lumber, and it
must be apparent to anyone with horse
sense that such loads cannot hurry
over a crossing like a man with a
horse and buggy or a pedestrian.
I believe superintendent Akin will
speedily remedy this when his atten-
ton is called to it. for he is courteous
and canabIc of prompt action to rem
edy unsafe conditions.
I have watched our electric car sys-
tenn from its inception to its magnifl-
cent efficiency and it is painful to have
to record disasters which may be
avoided. but sometimes duty to your
fellow creatures demands it.

AMERICAS STRENGTH

TN THE citizenship of America con-
sists its military as we'll as its
Il civil strength. Great causes pro-
duce great leaders and loyal followers.
The hour comes and the man. Never
in American history has this coniunc-
ton been lacking. Rev Matt Hughes
of Pasadena, in his Memorial day ora
ton, said: "Scan the lists Of leaders
and you will see them coming from
civilian life General sherman was
teaching school in Louisiana Grant
was running a tannery in Illinois,
Logan was a lawyer and Hooker a
farmer The leaders, including those
educated at West Point nearly all re-
sponded to the call to arms. The troops
were composed of men from nearly
every walk Of life"
History shows professional milltar-

sal patriotism in the United States
Let us teach the boys and girls the
history Of the nation; let us teach them
history correctly giving them an ap-
preciative understanding Of causes AS
we'll as a descriptive review of effects
and let us instruct them in the founda-
tional axiom that similar causes pro-
duce similar effects, with modifca-
tons due to environment and circum-
stance. and the military as well as civil
future Of the republic will be secure.
Never will an hour come without its
man Of understanding and leadership.
never will the leader appeal in vain
