Camping trips are always in order
in Southern California, except dur
ing the usually brief rainy season.
Not only city residents, but ranchers
and the plain people of every locality
are more or less eddicted to the camp
ing habit, and wherever one goes on
the highways, autoes and wagons load
ed with camp equipment are a fami-
lar sight. With no mosquitoes or
flies to contend with in most cases,
and no showers to fear, not even a
tent is altogether necessary.
For nearly two weeks recently our
two girls slept under the stars and
a pair of blankets, with a jolly COM
pany of eight college girls, their
small tents being used mainly For
dressing rooms. A rude pavilion
rooted with the boughs of small trees
served as dining room and kitchen,
with a portable gasoline range for
cooking and goods boxes suspended
from the roof for cupboards. Ants
are a common nuisance in this region,
and the swinging cupboards are usual
ly our of reach of tent maraders.
Harvesting Apricots
The motive for the camping ex-
petition was an invitation from an
Orange County classmate of one of
our girls, to come over and help with
the apricot harvest on her brothers
ranch. Ordinarily this fruit begins
to ripen about the first of July and

1t is easier to outline the process

evening joy rides and on the night

fireworks. The final breakup was
celebrated with q popcorn and candy

from the ranch household forming a
circle and chatting, singing college
songs, and varying the program with
comic recitations and stunts until a
late hour. While the daily program
called for real work for nine or ten
hours, with little indulgence in the
way of sitting down, the play spirit

will begin judging in the Livestock

Dancing at the German court is al

The development of the motor car
has affected nearly every phase of
modern existence. Not only has i'll
changed the appearance of the city
streets but it has improved conditi-
ons of life for the farmer and his
family and has brought into closer
touch with the outside world many
parts of the country that had been in
accessible, 1t has spread intelligence
and has frightened the process of Iy-
ing.
The auto has done all of that, YET
1t does not necessarily follow that
every man or every family should try
to have an auto. 1t costs money to
buy car and it costs money to oper-
ate one. Furthermore the depreci-
alton is factor to be reckoned with.
There are people who think only of
the first cost of a machine and when
they do that they forget an important
part of the problem. The auto is a
particular blessing for those who can
use them to combine business and
pleasure and in the west most users
come under this class.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S PLAN

President Wilson has recommended the appropriation by
congress Of SIS 100000 for the outright purchase Of fleet
Of merchant steamers
These are be owned and operated by the United States
government for the South American trade
The truth u.s. have had no merchant marine We have
nothing worthy of the since the days OF the old clip
per sailing vessels that disappeared with the civil war
period a
Of 200 merchant steamers that cleared the port OF o
Janeo in 1909 Just vessel flew the American tag
We have been paying out annually about S500OO0OoG to
foreign ship owners in freight charges tor carrying onl
freight to and from foreign countries.
Every civilized nation except own, has pursued the
policy of subsidzing its mail steamers
As consequence OF past policy, we have no mail or
passenger steamers sailing direct from our own ports o
South and Central America except the government steam
that have been operated during the construction OF the
Panama canal between New York and Colon.
For years. the question of ship subsidy has been before
congress but has been bitterly denounced by the demo-
cratic senators and congressman.
Now democratic president and declares tor the
outright ownership of government ships
The European war has lett us without means OF export
ing wheat and other goods Our foreign trade
is simply paralyzed.
Heretofore, when American merchant wished to com
municate by mail with his South American customers he
sent his letter Liverpool Amsterdam That commu
nication is cut Off
foreign owned ships will undoubtedly relieve some OF the
congestion Of our foreign trade.
But why should this nation not try the experiment OF
owning outright enough freight passenger and mail steam
to establish direct communication with South America
on both our Atlantic and Pacific coasts2
Should the experiment not prove successful we can easily
abandon it.
We believe President Wilson right in trying out the
proposition.
Government ownership of railroads has many advocates.
1t is far operate lines Of merchant steamers than
it would be to attempt to operate the railroads.

IEBkNECHT ALIVE?

A prominent German citizen brings
The Missoulian a clipping from lhe
Western Post, a German put cation
issued in ST. Louis, declaring that
Liehknecht, the German socialist
leader, was not executed for refus-
ing to enlist, as has been reported
from Europe, but has enlisted and
gone to the front. with other social
ist members of the German house.
This news, if true, will have an
important bearing upon the war. The
execution of Liebknecht was believed
to have inflamed the Germon social
lists against the kaiser Many found
it hard to credit the story, not con
ceiving it possible that the Berlin
government could commit SO impoli-

STANDPATlsM RAMPANT.
(BillingS ,Jpurnal.1

Kansas republicans have returned to

pose. BristoW was one of the few
who decided to remain in the party in

to carry water on both shoulders has
resulted disastrously to his political
career
And Foraker in Ohio--poor old dis
credited Joe Foraker--came within an
ace of winning out at the primaries in
his fight for the senatorial nomina-
ton, but he is defeated by a man
who is little less pronounced as a
standpatter and who will work in per-
feet harmony with the old line re-
publeans il by any chance he wins
out in November.
These and other similar instances
seem to Indicate that the republican
