cessfully launched here today. En-
peror William acted as sponsor.

Feeds for Poultry

The high price of grain and other
feed stuffs and the comparatively
low prices of all poultry products,
make the poultry keeper figure close
ly If he would secure a profit, AMI
some arc looking for cheaper feeds.
Wheat, corn, oats, Kaffir corn, ETC.,
are most largely used. Speltz is a
grain that can be used to profit for
poultry feeding, where one raises his
own grain, but in the market it sells
for almost as much as wheat. The
advantage of raising it for chicken
feed is that it will give double the
yield to barley on comparatively poor
a Il, and has the advantage that it
can lie sown either in the spring or
fall. 1t has been known to yield
eighty bushels to the acre though half
this quantity will probably be oret-
ty fair crop.
The farmer with plenty of land can
grow such crops for his hens as will
produce largely. In the corn belt corn
is probably the cheapest feed, but an
exclusive diet of corn is not conducive
to egg production. Still have known
hens to do we'll on corn alone, when
given free range, and the range was

but it has the advantage of smaller

quantities. The cultivation is the

The situation in San Diego calls for
careful analysis and some diplomacy
in handling. The demagogue has been
very blatant there and has played
upon the prejudices of the people,
especially those who are easily in
famed and mainly because they are
only seeking opportunity to fight
against the established order of
things. Law and order and home rule
arc all involved in the settlement of
the questions before the people of the
southern California city that are JUST
now the center of the troubles that
have followed the operations OF the
lndustrialists. The action of the gov
ernor. innocently perhaps, has en-
couraged the anarchistic element be-
cause it has operated to stay the
hands of the vigilantes and prevent
further forced extradtions, but the
administration seeks only fair play
and must in the end stand by a rigor-
Gus enforcement of the laws tina
operate to protect society.

THE PROGRESS OF THE PRO.
GRESSIVES

When the history of this campaign
seen that a marked feature has been
the constant growth of the progressive
strength throughout the campaign. In
the beginning a few states were con-
coded to the progressives and mag

element of the party. because it was
thought that this would be the out
side strength of a movement that

passing ripple In the political situa-

the alleged progressive strength.
Then came the demand for the
preference primary and the situation
began to change Contests developed
rapidly between the politicians and
the people and after a few clashes II
was seen that there was a great UNI
dercurrent of protest that was being
voiced in the preferential primaries
and that there was progressive
strength developing with surprsine
rapidity in every state in the Union.
Given lighting chance and the
progressives began piling up victories
in states supposed tn DE rock-ribbed
with political consistency. Illinois,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts. Mary
land and Ohio added to the sweeping
progress of the movement that found
voice from Maine to California. The
political leaders of the old guard
stopped conceding and began to work
in an effort to stem the tide that had
set in so strong against them.
The progressive cause has made
such progress that it threatens to con-
troll the convention in the organization
and nominate its candidate on the
first ballot. The administrative force;
will not concede anything and are
yielding ground now by inches and
under vigorous protest. There is ever
talk now of a compromise candidate
and call for some one to come for
ward and save the republican party
But it should be observed that the
movement for a third candidate comes
from the camp of the regulars who in
many states have become alarmed al
the progress of the progressives, and
who have heard the voice of the PEG
pie with alarm and find very little
comfort in the situation.
The movement has been gathering
momentum since its inception, and

THE MEANING OF 1T ALL

If both charges are true, that some
very important financial interests, as
well as large part of the common
people, are much interested in having
Theodore Roosevelt elected president,
it may be the best reason for doing SO,
instead of an objection, because the
former class support him. For there
can be no doubt but Mr.. Roosevelts
theory of regulating the large estab-
Iished interests is far more salts
factory to the men who have built
them UP to their high state of service,
not only for themselves, but for the
people at large, than President TafSs
theory of abolishing them.
These great systematic business en-
terprises conducted so as to produce
least expenditure, are in keeping with
the progress of the world, the only
thing lacking is their proper regula-
ton for the best interest of all tie
people. and not their abolition and
abandonment, as Mr.. Taft would
have it.
Hence. if the managers of those
large interests see the handwriting OF
''proper regulation for the interests Of
ALL as it surely is to be, and the
other great thinking and fair-minded
class who logically and for the best pl
reasons believe in such, we are botL,,d
to recognize the sanity of the con
clusion and therefore the reason for
the large and enthusiastic following
which Mr.. Roosevelt has among both
classes of people.
As against this idea, those opposed
are necessarily those who believe in
special and class legislation, and II
isn't difficult to prophesy the results
from a people as wide awake to the
needs of the hour as the American
people are now.

EVENING TWILIGHT

Hail, tranquil hour of closing day!
Begone, disturbing care!
And look, my SOUL from earth away
To Him who heareth prayer.
How sweet the tear of penitence,
Before his throne of grace,
While, to the contrite spirits sense,
He shows His smiling face.
How sweet, through long remembered
years
His mercies to recall,
And, pressed with wants. and griefs
and fears,
To trust His love for ALL
How sweet to look, in thoughtful hope
Beyond this fading sky
And hear Him call His children up
To His fair home on high.
Calmly the day forsakes our heaven
To dawn beyond the west;
So let my soul. in life's last even,
Retire to glorious rest

Tag Day for tile Volunteers of Americ

lag DAY Tor tile volunteers of America
The Volunteers of America will
have Tag day on Saturday, June 1.
The purpoi, of the Volunteers is to
furnish home for poor working and
homeless girls on a larger scale than
they are now attempting and to make
payment as large as possible upon
the home they now occupy, so there
will always be a home of this char
acter in Yakima. They have done a
good deal of work of this kind here.
They have given away thousands of
garments to the poor, bought new
shoes for number of school children
last winter and have now a number of
families whom thew are helping until
they are able to take care of them
selves. Two women had not been able
to get themselves a hat for over four
years, not until the Volunteers gave
them. oh one. Such cases have come
to the Volunteers for aid and every
one has been helped. Some of the
people they have helped belong to
some of the churches of this city, but
they have no respect of persons. They
help all they can. They have found
women and they continue on in these
ways to aid the needy, while they
| preach the gospel to the poor.
To those who think that the Volun-
teers send away any percentage of the
funds received by them out of the
| city, Captain Houck replies that not
one cent has ever been sent away by
them, but he assures all who may be
prompted to give to the work that it
will be spent here at home, where
| local cases of need will be supplied.
| 1t is desired that Christians of
every name take an interest In this
day for raising money and do what
| they can to make the Offering as large
as possible. A number of business
| firms are taking part in 1t by Offering
on that day percentage of their
sales. Also some of the churches are
expected to give part of their Sunday
Offering for the benefit of the Volun-
teers. Arrangements are all made for
the work of the day and it is hoped
many women of the city, as well as
children of the city schools, will as

| Headquarters will be at Mr.. H. D.
