In the process Of curing these crops
every precaution should be taken to
save the leaves. This is best accom-

RepubIIeans STRONG in California.

Republicans Strong in California.
The registration OF voters in Califor-
MIA is exciting great interest largely
because of the fact that the unexpect-
ed has happened. California has been
regarded very justly as a Progressive
stronghold. Its governor, Johnson, was
the candidate for vice-president on
the Progressive national ticket, and
he is now a candidate for a second
term as governor. He helped undoubt-
eddy to carry the state for his partJ
last year, when 1t secured all but two
OF the thirteen electoral votes. At the
same time the Republican party was
practically forced out of the field and
In the contest that followed the Demo
Gratis won the two electoral votes that
did not go TO Roosevelt and Johnson
But the registration for the first
month OF this year shows that the Re
publicans are now very much stronger
than either the Democrats or the Pro-
gressives. The figures up to February
l are: Republicans, 1891; Democrats.
35,512; Progressives, 1858.
These returns are partial only in the
NONHSaSD iiOih icpOIlb nave DecH
received and are for only % counties
out of total of SO. But Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Alameda Oakland,
Sacramento and San Diego are includ-
ed The Democrats show no very
great strength anywhere. The Pro
gressives are doing their best in Sac
ramento and Alameda. The RepubIi-
cans are strong everywhere In Los
Angeles the figures are: Republicans,
2716S; Democrats, 12,446; Progress
sives. 1916. In San Francisco: Re
publicans, 1917; Democrats. 2,49s;
Progressives, 2,9GS. In San Diego: Re
publicans, 9,049; Democrats, 2,67S;
Progressives, 1,414 In Alameda the
Democrats are almost a negligible
third. while the Progressives regis
tered 1896 and the Republicans 49,
6S5 votes.
Since the total registration may ex.
coed a million the end is a long way
of, but naturally the Republicans are
much elated by the returns so far.
Their party organs are already elect
ing a Republican delegation to con
gress and taking control of the state
Legislature.

new TARIFF RESULTS

Question Whether income Tax VIII

The defenders of the Wilson Under

on criticism OF that measure by pro-
testing that 1t must be given time:
that II has not yet gotten fairly into
performance. 1t may not be unpar-
donable. however. to make a few
notation marks In tn, statistical re-
suits, under the new tariff, as these
results are given out from the vari-
Gus departments and bureaus.
statement just given out from the
treasury department shows that the
customs receipts for January, 1914,
were nearly 100000 below the re-
ceipts for January. 1913. The state
ment also shows that in January Of
last year the treasury took In $4,000
900 more than 1t paid out. whereas, for
last month more than 100000 was
paid out In excess OF receipts A lit
tie reflection upon the Significance OF
these figures will lead to n guess about
what the size of the prospective treas

going to be. The income tax is a re-
source yet in the reckoning, but IL is
matter of theory as 10 whether the
revenue from this source will counter
balance the developing shortage in
the customs receipts.
AS to what the new tariff was to

down the high cost of living The

waiting for this to happen. 1t was 10

ADMIRAL WATTS VIEW OF NAVY

Ships we are going TO build In the
future will have even deeper drafts
than thirty feet, and the depth OF
prominent haTbors in the United
States should be at least thirty-flve
feet" said Rear Admiral Watt, chief
OF the naval bureau of construction
and repair, in a statement 10 the
house naval affairs committed
Admiral Watt was advocating q
provision In the naval appropriation
bill. which the committee soon will
report to the house, TO authorize a
contract for use by the navy of private

Admiral Watt urged that this action
was imperative. with the opening
OF the Panama canal he explained.
lit is probable that our principal fleet
will have periods of duty on the west
coast.
This provision would permit the
docking of the largest ships at Hunt

Miss Margaret Wilson. daughter of

She has joined the Monday Evening

Last Monday evening the club held
its meeting in the public library, and

GOVERNOR HARRISON's SILK HAT

Former Representative Francis Bur

governor general of the Philippines, is
already known In that part OF the
world as ''the man with the hat" and

hay is when most OF the pods are full
grown and considerable number OF
them are ripe. At this stage none OF
the best hay varieties, such as the

Soy beans should be cut for hay
