A LOFTY GYMNASIUM.
Fine Exercise In the Great Dome Of
the National Capitol.

eine EXERCISE IN tNe 1redt Oomo OF
the National Capitol.
1t would not be suspected that the
great dome of the capitol could be
made gymnasium. but it is used by
not few people in Washington. and
especially by some of the employees of
the capitol. for purposes of exercises
and the like.
It's chief apparatus in that line is the
many winding steps to the top Of the
lantern-2S7 feet in the air. You go
roLild and round and round and climb
and climb. That sort of thing makes
for firm muscles and is said to be the
best anti-fat cure to be had anywhere.
and especially in Washington. You
can lose ten pounds in one trip.
The thing is done at record speed.
however 1t is not slow going up
and slow going down. although with
other people this seems most ample la
Dor. but doing the thing in five min
utes and less 1t is a rush up and a
rush down.
People who climb the stairs for sight
seeing purposes are astonished to see
the Mercuries rush in the ascent or the
descent. but of course they do not
know what it is all done for.-New

FRUITS YIELD
HIGH MONEY RETU rms

Sacramento, Oct 2.-Alfalfa, fig,
olive and walnut crops were the only
crops normal or above that point this
year in California. according to the
figures announced yesterday at the
office of the state horticultural con-
mission. The estimates were made
from returns submitted to the com
mission By co9ety horticulturists.
The apricot crop in some sections
was exceedingly poor, but in other
counties it was above normal, so that
the general average will make this
years crop about so per cent as
large as last year.
The grape output, including raisinS,
wine and table grapes, was approy-
imately 80 per cent of normal, while
the peach crop is within 10 per cent
as large as that of 1912. Plums and
cherries did not come up to last year
by about 10 per cent, although III
some sections figure above normal is
recorded.
The prune product is 80 per cent Of
normal, while predictions for apples,
the crop not having been harvested,
is optimistic.
From early estimates the citrus
fruit crops will range within 20 per
cent of normal
Despite the shortage in practically
all the deciduous fruit crops, the re-
turns were equal to last year, grow
ers reporting better prices for their
products.
The drought throughout the state
interfered with hay and grain crops,
cutting them down to 80 per cent Of
normal.
Excessive heat in July and August.
coupled with the scarcity of water,
brought about the damage to horticu'-
tural growth.
"On the WHOLE" a supplementary
statement says, "the financial returns
from deciduous horticultural crops this
year will not be below last year, de
spite the unfavorable weather eX-
perienced."

USE OF NATIONAL FORESTS
is RAPIDLY GROWING

Washington, Sept. 2.-The number
of persons who spend their summer
vacations in the national forests is
growing so rapidly, says the forest
service, that the question of provid-
ing suitable pasturage for their sad
die and pack animals is becoming a
problem. In order to provide such
grazing the forest service must set
aside limited areas from which sheep
and cattle are excluded.
In many instances, particularly IN
California, the forest service and the
stock growers have co-operated IN
constructing small pastures for the
use of tourists. who have thus been
enabled to hold their stock on choice
feed within enclosures without any
cost of inconvenience. This appre-
ciably reduces the amount of land
available for the pasturage of sheep
and cattle and stock growers pay
fee for grazing their sheep, while
the campers secure free patronage.
But with the construction of pas
lures for campers use a new difficulty
has arisen. The campers display a
tendency to concentrate in the neigh
borhood of the pastures. In some in
stances large parties occupy choice
meadow pastures and remain there
until the feed is exhausted, thus de-
priving later visitors of opportunity to
use the pastures. While the forest
service is reluctant to impose any un-
necessary restrictions upon the free
use of the pastures. forest officers are
beginning to think that some form
of regulation will have to be required.

Many Dates on Brawley Palm.

Brawley News: AS an indication
of what the date industry promises,
Francis Heiny has been exhibiting
with pride a Rhars date palm on his
acreage property east Of the railroad.
The palm was loaded with Ia punches
Of dates, the aggregate weight being
$50 pounds. Some Of the punches
weighed over so pounds each.
The Rhars is a large, rather early
date of good flavor, very popular, but
not quite so good seller as the Deg
let Knoor. This seasons rains dam
aged the Rhars fruit somewhat, as
the fruit had begun to ripen. The
Deglet Knoors were uninjured
Numerous photographs were taken
of this six-year-old palm, with its
amazing wealth Of golden fruit.
Such sight was surprise even to
those most familiar with the posi-
bilities of date culture.
Even sold at the price of ordinary
dates this fruit would produce a
handsome weeks wages for Mr.
Heiny.
