never tell where an innocent-loOkiDg
exposition may lead one. San Diego
has an exposition in training and it has
brand new in municipal affairs-the
management of city forage farm, of
which Director General d. G. Collier is
godfather.
1t has already been told about the
city flower farm. That was something
of novelty, and it looked like q good
thing. But to grow hay, and have the
mayor and aldermen out inspecting the
crop and specializing whether it was
time to start the mowers going-well,
we may properly ask, what nexts
The flower farm is being operated
by the city park commission to propa-
gate and grow the flowers, vines, ferns
and trees required for the exposition
to be held in that city in 1918. The
city forester now has begun work of
putting in about $50 acres of hay and
grain with which to feed the 500 odd
horses and 100 cattle owned by the city
in it's different departments. There are
years when "hay is hay' in San
Diego, and this has been one Of them.
Farmers in that country cut foru and
six crops of alfalfa a year; some as
high as eight. In spite Of this there is
at times dearth of hay, both alfalfa
and grain. The city forester has fig
ured out that he can plant about $50
acres Of the city "pueblo' lands to
hay and grain and save the city money
on it's feed bills.
The flower farm has been such q sue
cess that the forester was told to 60
ahead and raise hay for the city stock.
IF he raises too much he will be allow
ed to sell the surplus. If he succeeds,
the exposition division Of works will
buy its feed from him, thus giving him
a revenue from the first crop.
Prizes for Bee Men.
To secure a greater interest in the
subject of bee raising and poultry
farms the exhibits committee of the
Panama California International expo
sition, to be held at San Diego, in
1915, are corresponding with the om-
cials of state associations of those in
dustries The object is To arrange a
competition among the apiarists and
poultrymen in 1915. Prizes may be
offered along lines suggested to the
committee.
San Diego's exposition is not to be
a rival along the lines of the world 8
fair in San Francisco the same year.
Irrigation, manufacturing, history and
the arts will be featured, affording an
educational and special treatment of
special subjects. The city of San
Diego has raised $2,0O0,0 900 for this
exposition with the purpose of bring
ing together business interests and ed
ucational bodies.
Plans Again Enlarged.
| For tho third fima the njauS for fhe
Panama California International expo
sition have been recast and enlarged
This was made necessary by the con
stantly enlarging scope of the expo
sition. Frank p Allen, Jr., director
of works, announces that work will
begin on the buildings in November
1t is predicted that this exposition
will be the most beautiful, unique and
artistic ever held.
The Naval Review.
President Taft is expected to review
the Atlantic feet at New York on Oc
tober 31st. 1t will be a magnificent
naval pageant. On the same day the
Pacific fleet will be reviewed at Lot
Angeles.
Foreign nations are likely to wonder
what this great dual demonstration
means, but it's really none of theil
business. If they learn something about
our ability to put great fleet in activ,
service at short notice, that is merely

Schley's Funeral.
Dying as he had hoped to die,, quick
lly and without pain, Admiral Schle,
was acclaimed, even by those who hat
opposed him in life, a naval hero ant
great commander. His funeral wa
one of the biggest the capital eve
saw, and many thousands of resident
turned out to see the cortege pass, ant
to bow reverently while the corpse of ,
brave man was borne past them.
Trouble In Panama.
The recalling of the minister to tn
United States from Panama, DR.. Bell
sario Porras, is taken to portend inter
nal troubles in the small republic dowl
by the canal. The approaching elec

at the bottom of it all, and the Unitet
States is very desirous that lega

Pains Mr.. Carnegie.
The little affair between Italy ant
Tripoli is doubtless very distressing t,
Mr.. Carnegie, just as he seemed to b,
getting along very nicely with hi
plans for universal peace. However
it is a pretty good demonstration o.
the need of doing something to stol
wars and substitute arbitration. TIL,
directions of the king of ITALY t,
"shed as little blood as possible
seem to indicate that he is with Mr.
Carnegie at heart, and as soon as HI
shall have finished this job he ma,
join the peace society.
