TRIMMING PROCESS

showing a surplus OF 81, $685. 900 spread
out to cover over S3,500,00 OF a emanc
for sx-&nse allowance, is the immediate
probloxi Of the Thirty-fourth general
assembly to which the two appropria.
lions committees will devote them
selves They are mo- privileged to dc

and appropriate for deficits afterwards
but must plan now for the income
and outSo for the period.
Two years ago the legislature ina
GUIDED in the extraordinary a~pprcpria-
,pns, or those over and above the reg
ajar nnIn expenses Of the state,
about 81, 121 eco, and two years before
3 slightly larger sum. In each case q
larger sum was authorized for expendi-
lures than the estimated income, be.
cause 1t was the desire OF the legislas
tors that the unnecessary surplus In
.he treasury be not increased. Now,
with the enormous increase which has
been made in the assessment of prop
Sty, especially personal property, the
income will naturally be larger.
But S1,59o, 600 is the limit for the two
years. Already the bills before the leg
tslature are far above this sum-. The
three colleges and Is other state insti-
buttons ask over S 1000, 600. A half
dozen other items aggregate another

dismissed without much consideration,
as, for instance, some Of the commits

sometimes spoke of General Grant as
that man. and Of the federal army
as those people, General Longstreet
replied in low tones, giving the strength
and condition Of his command, and the
strength n position of the enemy,
and concluded by saying, But you

the attack will be made in the norm

loud, almost fierce tones Of General
Lee, saying, L tell you, General Long

HENRY WALLACE

During the primary hustle and con-

FOR years past--I came upon a gentle
fnan OF scholarly mien whose full beard
was streaked with gray, conversing
with some friends. Seated in a tall
hotel chair, he seemed a living picture
of a sage of I'VE olden time" engaged
In giving counsel to the younger men
gathered about him.
1t was Uncle Henry Wallace, who
was afterward elected president of the
Conservation Congress, declared by
Uncle jim Wilson and many hun
dreds of devoted admirers, one of the
ablest agricultural writers In the
world. and held In affectionate regard
and esteem by thousands Of farmers
throughout the length and breadth Of
the country. Strong, robust n Wig
orous IN both mind and body, from
his pencil pours forth a perfect stream
OF copy every week for his own Wal

joys a personality and inviduality pc
culiarly its own among agricultural
papers.
That he is one OF Americas ahleat
agricultural writers does not NEAR
that he INDUCES In technicalities and
has become a scientific ~essayist. Uncle
HeIry's agricultural writings cover a
wide range of subjects and ideas. How
his blue eyes sparkled as he told me
that n of his favorite tasks in agri-
cultural journalism was his talks with

Editorial work o. does not occupy
Uncle Henry's entire attention. He
never neglects his yoluminous CORES

must draw heavily OF bis energy and
vitality In the work which he owes
although both seem almost inexhaust-
ible. 1t seemed impossible to realize
that h hardy, muscular form before
me was that OF a man who had once
been told that he could not live over
six months because OF tuberculosis.
But that was 3S years ago, when Mr..
Wallace was a Presbyterian minister
at Morning Sun, Ia. His mother and
several sisters and brothers a lost In
the hopeless struggle with the great
white plague. yet the news that he
must give UP his work came as q
shock to him. He repaired ts Colorado
and California In hopes OF improve

His physician commanded him to leave
the pulpit, If he would live--to quit

waiting for a farewell sermon" And

National Orange Sho,p

While the first national orange show
In the United States will be held in
San Bernardino March 6 to IL; it will
be an exposition in which the entire
state of California will be interested
for the reason that the prime object of
the move IS to advertise to the world
the. magnitude of the orang industry
and the fact that only in California can
the golden fruit be grown under the
best conditions.
The plan to be followed is similar
to that so successfully carried out
in the past at the national apple show
and the national corn show. A mans
moth tent as large as that used by the
largest circus has been obtained and
in it will be arranged not only the eX-
hibits of citrus fruit from all sections
of California and Arizona, but also dis
plays representing the kindred indus
tries such as box making, packing,
preceding and refrigeration and min
iature OF the railroad equipment neces-
sary to get the golden harvest to the
market. In the center OK the tent, the
space used for the rings at a circus,
will be artistically arranged working
models of things related to h orange
industries, such as packing houses rail-

A Generous Gift

Professor Munyon has just issued q
most beautiful, useful and complete al
manac. 1t contains not only all the sci.
entihc information concerning the moons
phases, in all the ATTITUDES, but has il.
lustrated articles on how to read char.
acter by ~phrenology, palmistry and birth
month. 1t also tells all about card read
ing, birth stones and their meaning, and
gives the Interpretation of dreams. 1t
teaches beauty culture, manicuring,
gives weights and measures and antidotes
for poison. In fact, it is a Magazine AL
manac, that not only gives valuable in
formation, but will afford much amusc-
ment for every member of the family,
especially for parties and evening enter
tainments. Farmers and people in the
rura! districts will find this Almanac al
most invaluable.
1t will be sent to anyone absolutely
free on application to the Munyon Rem,
edy Company, Philadelphia, Pa.

road trains and the like, these features
being arranged for the purpose of re-
heving the monotony OF the exhibits
themselves.
Few people realize the Importance
OF he citrus crop in California, even
in southern California, ia some idea
may be had when it is understood
that the crop this year is estimated
to be in the ne~ighborhood Of $4,000
car loads. The handling OF such an
output involves the labor of a vast
S~my Of workers and the amount of
money involved is SO great hat the
industry must of necessity be classed
as one Of the largest in the United
States.
In connection with the national
orange snow the California Fruit
Growers convention will be held in
San Bernardino during that week and
this in itself will be sufficient to
center the interest Of the fruit grow
ing world in the national oranS~
show.
All railroads have guaranteed re-
duced rates for those desiring to visit
the exposition and the attendance is
expected to be such that the city Of
San Bernardino will be taxed to ac-
commodate the visitors.

on some bundles of rye straw (the
ground being wet from rain), at the
upper side of the tent, with one AN
die for a light. 1 made my report, and
the general told me to wait, as he
wished to see me. He asked me if 1
had had anything to eat, and 1 told
him no. He said he was sorry he had
nothing to offer me. He gave me q
bundle of straw and told me to sit
near the door. 1t had been raining all
afternoon and I vas quite wet. 1 wae
also very tired, so I put my foot
through the bride rein Of my mare

the bundle of straw, was soon asleep.
