Horticulture


southern California is one which in
many ways stands alone. 1t is green
when ripe, With an aroma of lilac and
crabapple, flavor best described by
thinking of bananas, pineapples and
strawberries. The seed costs S25OC
a pound, and is difficult to procure at
that price 1t was introduced to the
civilized world by French traveller
named Andre, who brought it from
far away Uruguay. Its name is
feijoa, which the botanists pronounce
fayzea, and the natives of Uruguay
fayhoa.
Monsieur Andre carried his feijoa
back to France in 1890, and there
succeeded 10 propagating it. The
French pc ople who were fortunate
enough to know it esteemed it for its
delightful bouquet as for it's food
value, and kept the fruit in their
salons as much as in their dining
rooms.
Almost 10 years later DR.. Fran
ceschi, of Santa Barbara, and a Mr.,
Hehre, of Los Angeles, brought speci-
fornia. Each claim the honor of hav-
ing presented the fruit to the Ameri-
can people. Since that time, through
direct importation from Uruguay
and through propagating from the
parent stock of DR.. Francheschi and
Mr.. Hehre the feijoa has become
more widely known and has many
friends among the nurserymen of the
state, although it is still in the nov
city class.
POSSIBILITIES OF THE FEIJOA.
According to Mr.. Dan Glover of
the Semi-Tropic Nursery, the feijoa
will not remain among the novelties
for any great length of time, but is
destined to become one of the most
popular sugar fruits on the market.
Mr.. Glover has been studying the
fruit and experimenting with it for
the past five years and has through
the agency of the American consul at
Uruguay, succeeded in obtaining a
quantity of seed from that country.
He has secured plants from varieties
already introduced into this country
and has in all about 800 specimens.
He makes the following statement of
it's qualities:
''The feijoa is the climax, the high
est type, of the guava family and is
called the pineapple guava, as the
pineapple flavor seems to predominant

like in form, will thrive in any soil
and will grow without irrigation, al

Regarding Religion.

Editor Times: Let me reply to
Pastor Russell's sermon. Like all SER
mons of his there is some truth, but if
you have not all the facts or truth your
religion is in vain. His statement re-
garding the 1000 years of Christ s reign
here on earth-there is no foundation
to it. When Jesus comes he comes
with cloud and everyone shall see
him. Those in their graves shall rise
up first. and those living shall be
changed in the twinkling of moment
and meet Him in the air and they shall
always be with the Lord. The right
eous first and the wicked 1000 years
after.
What is the 1000 years between for?
The Bible says don't you know the
righteous shall judge the wicked also
the 1000 years is the judgment of the
wicked. God is just and His word is
truth, for all can understand the word
of the Bible. If you go to Him He
can give you understanding in all
things regarding the spiritual life.
If you accept part of the Bible and not
all, God can not accept you. If you
want Jesus as your Savior go and tell
it to him. Not to your priest or pastor
but just trust in God through Christ.
"For there is no other name under
Heaven whereby we can be saved.
Jesus says, "If you love Me keep My
commandments

uneasy, but nobody else appeared to be
anything but happy. The big ball
game could not be pulled off, but
through mud and water on main street

SENATOR REED LOOKS
l. FOR GOOD RESULTS
Analyses Testimony Taken by
Lobby Committee.

Washington, July 9.--Senator Reed
of Missouri, chief cross-examiner for
the senate lobby investigation COM
mittee, analyzed the testimony taken
by that committee and gave what he
believed will be the result of these
disclosures. His statement follows:
The lobby investigation and it's at
tendant disclosures have demonstrated
that lobbying is potent feature. 1t
shows:
First-That manufacturers have on.
posed the election OF men known to
be opposed to their plans.
Second-They have secretly given
aid and support financially and moral
ly to those who have been subservient
to their interests. liz
Third-They haveaafluenced pub.
lie Sentiment through carefully pre-.
pared news matter sent through the
press associations.
Fourth-They have carried on a
propagation with their business con.
nections and by this means sought to
influence votes of congressman.
Fifth-They have maintained lob.
bies in Washington.
Sixth-They maintained a lobby
against free sugar.
Seventh-They attempted to in.
fluence legislation by means of money
No one can predict exactly what
may develop, but as result of the
investigation these things may hap
pen.
The work of the lobbyist having
been exposed his influence will be
lessened. His work will be made more
difficult.

LAMAR AGAIN ON

New York Broker Reappears
at His Own Request.
ACTED TO PROTECT SELF
Declares His Reason for Impersonat-
ing congressman Was to Establish
the Injustice Of the Attitude Of
Wall Street Interests.


the Injustice Of the Attitude Of
Wall Street Interests.
Washington, July 9.-David Lamar.
Wall street broker, took the stand
again before the senate lobby commit
tee at his own request.
Il realize perfectly that my life
and character are on trial before this
committee" he began. He argued
that his testimony and Lauterbach's
had shown they were not engaged in
any effort to get money from ]. P.
Morgan & Co. or other interests.
"l'll tell you what my motive was,"
said Lamar. "It was either to force
these men to recognize the injustice
of their attitude toward Lauterbach
and myself or force them to come out
into the open with the charges Of
blackmail they had circulated in New
York for years against both of u.s."
Lamar said he knew Lewis Cass
Ledyard was trying to "trip him"
when he began telephoning in the
name Of Representative Palmer and
then determined to Fix up game" on
Ledyard Ito force the financial people
into the open."
Lamar testified he had told Lauter-
bach that Senator Stone had author
ized him to make certain representa-
tions to the Morgan firm and had told
Lauterbach that Senator Stone said
he represented Speaker Clark. Lauter-
bach had testified that all his informa-
tion about Senator Stone and Speaker
Clark had come from Lamar.
Under sharp fire of questions La
mar insisted that his only object was
to bring about Just such situation
as this investigation"
Il am the one villain in Wall street."
said Lamar bitterly. "All the rest are
actuated by the highest motives and
possess the highest ideals"
:. I4amardeclared the whole thing was
"a. major Wall street operation travel
ing on parallel lines," and insisted he
was "after" Ledyard, Cravath, Ev-
arts, Lovett and "the Morgan, steel
trust, Union Pacific and other inter-
ests" and wanted to force them to an
open attack.
ut was favorite method of mine
for producing an explosion when
wanted one,' he added.

London, July 9.-An larson squad"
of militant suffragettes burned down
the country residence of Sir William
H. Lever, founder of Port Sunlight and

The mansion, which is called the
Bungalow, is located at Rivington,

occupied by the family, but contained
valuable paintings and other precious

fire would not have happened.

NowLEDGE
Is a Better Guide Than
Instinct When Buying ::
BY HOLLAND.

II NOWLEDGE is more
n widespread today than
ever before. Twenty-Five
years ago much buying was
done by instinct-done in a
haphazard way that is a
thing of the past like the
spinning wheel and the tai
low candle.
Your grandmother trusted
largely to luck-you depend
on knowledge when it comes
to spending money. What
causes the difference? Ad-
vertising.
Publicity has revolutionized
business. 1t has increased
business honesty, has advanc-
ed business ethics and has
ended slipshod methods.
To gain the advantage of
these changed conditions you
must have knowledge. You
must know values. You can
learn them only by studying
advertising. In no other way
can you learn what is best
and what the best is worth.
CARELESS BUYING
OFTEN MEANS
DISAPPOINTMENT.
Equip yourself with the
knowledge necessary for eco
nomical buying. II you have
money to spend you owe this
to yourself and to those for
whom you buy.

Demands on Pittsburg Institution Not
Expected to Result Seriously.
Pittsburg, July 9.-When banking
circles opened there was little to in
dicate that there had been a day
of anxiety and excitement in the f.
nancial world because Of the failure
of two banks and the appointing of
receivers for a large banking house
and an extensive industrial enter
prise.
The run on the Pittsburg Bank for
Savings that was started by the fail
ures was resumed possibly in some
what larger magnitude, but with the
assurance of several millions in cash
and quick assets on hand the run is
not looked upon as likely to result
seriously.
